McDonald's sells hamburgers.

brenda, I sent you email earlier. To the Gmail address.

Speaking of which, are they rolling out the new Gmail slowly? I don't have it, unless they mean the "new" one I adopted over a year ago or more.

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a global IT company.

The things you learn! @@

I've not heard of a new Gmail. I remember when it started trying to sort out my important e-mails for me, but that was a while ago.

Kate, I haven't checked my mail in a few days. Let me get on that. Thank you so much, again.

I had something to post about the current conversation, but in the middle of it, I discovered that my friend has MRSA and I have completely freaked out. I had no idea. She's getting a picc line in today so they can do the antibiotics at home. She gets dilaudid before they pack the wound (which she describes as more painful than childbirth), and it's making her nauseated. What was the anti-nausea drug that's successful for you, ita?

Anyway.

Apparently he used to dress like a Teddy boy.

Yes! This is the important information I was looking for elsewhere! I hereby approve of this boy.

I think I've shared this before, but if I'd been born a boy my parents were seriously considering Frodo

I am totally calling smonster "Frodo" henceforth.

When my sister was pregnant with her second kid, they thought it was going to be a girl and she was going to share my middle name (my grandmother's name.) I had a dream that it was a boy and I was disappointed he didn't get named after me, which I told my sister. And then it was a boy, and he didn't get named after me, and I felt like an ass.

What was the anti-nausea drug that's successful for you, ita?

Compazine, but I need it with benadryl. Zofran also works well, but not as well. Reglan is my third option.

I hope your friend recovers quickly.

I know I've told this story here before: my first name comes from Stranger In A Strange Land. Mom insisted that it was spelled with a "J" instead of "G", but was totally fine with me being named after a Heinlein character. I occasionally thank my lucky stars I didn't end up being named Podkayne.

My mom wanted to name me Bridget. I have no idea what I would have been named if I was a boy.

ION, The Beastie Boys like carrots. Just FYI.

Thanks. I've passed it along.

Err, the anti-nausea meds, that is, not the information that Beastie Boys like carrots. I have no idea to whom I should convey that info.
