I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

people, I was at lunch with people who, while not birthers, said that Obama would not answer questions about his birth certificate or produce anything for over a year after the first election. That's not right, right?!?! and then one of them said that the first one that was produced was proven to be a forgery. not true again, right?!?! why people so crazy.

also crazy - shooting at a Texas college campus. WTF people?!?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What if the topamax is doing something similar? drying out your lenses in your eyes?

My real issue is what can I do if it is fucking with my eyesight--is there a rehydration you could have done?

Hey! I should ask the reigning queen of side effects--Steph, does this make sense for topiramate side effects? And would I have to go off it to avoid it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, Obama waited a while to release his long-form birth certificate, right?

Would it help if you told your lunch folks that Obama waited to make the birthers look stupid? eta: as opposed to agree Obama was "hiding something." What, I don't know.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Obama produced his long-form birth certificate about 1 month before bin Laden was killed. Apparently it takes months of paperwork for a long form birth certificate to be released. So his lawyers were working on it.

Prior to this, he released the short form birth certificate which is what Hawaii acknowledges is a proof of birth in the state.

People complained about this because it didn't give the doctor's name on the short form or the employment of the parents.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Did they throw this much fit about Romney not releasing his tax returns?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the not releasing the tax returns was a much bigger deal in my opinion. especially since he was concealing shit.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey! I should ask the reigning queen of side effects--Steph, does this make sense for topiramate side effects?

From my throne, I did a quick scan of common side effects, and vision issues are among the commonly reported side effects (one is the unhelpfully vague "abnormal vision"). One specific vision issue reported is acute nearsightedness caused by glaucoma brought on by topiramate -- in that specific situation, the recommendation is to discontinue the drug. I don't know if that's true for *all* vision abnormalities caused by topiramate.
