I was mostly too confused with trying to figure out the parsley part to be able to really reply. (Also, this is someone I don't want to piss off unless it's for a really good reason. She holds grudges forever, and I've got to work with her a lot.)

The smiteworthy are rarely smiteable.

My mom's old boss used to do that. Weirdly enough, she's into naturopathy and is a Glenn Beck fan. Takes a special person to be annoying from the left and the right, but she's...talented.

This morning, one of my colleagues saw me drinking iced tea, and she informed me that it had too much sugar, and caffeine is an acid that will unbalance my ph, and that I should eat parsley for calcium.

Oh my god, I am so happy I work alone now. I never have to deal with that shit again. (Or for the forseeable future.) Because the dog doesn't give any fucks about what I eat, other than whether he might be able to scam some of it.

Is he the one who does Schlock Mercenary?

He is. Good guy.

Question: so surgeon prescribed oxy for post op pain relief. I told her, her pa, amd every nurse and anaesthetician that it makes me wicked itchy, even with adding Benadryl, Mom pushed yesterday for a differmt pain scrip,,,but what they actually filed was hydrocodone. Isn't that essentially the same active ingredient just with acetaminophen added? I've been up all night with the itching, took max dose of Benadryl, still constantly itchy everywhere. There are other non opioid pain killers out there, right? Why are they forcing exclusively -codones on me?

Sorry, tired and typing on iPad. Didn't mean to post thrice.

Regardless, if you're crazy itchy see if they'll give you somethin else?

Glad the surgery went ok!!

Hil, I would not be able to teach in a 90 degree classroom. It would give me a migraine.

I get mad-itchy with Vicodin, but the oxycodone they gave me for the kidney stones don't make me itch -- or nauseated.

Call your surgeon STAT and explain the sitch. There are LOTS of people who can't tolerate the -dones. There's got to be something!
