Oh, insurance company, why do I have to call you and tell you that you paid three claims for me? Why is this something I can see on your website, but somehow you can't?

My 25th should have been 2 years ago. I don't think anything happened though. My entire class seems ambivalent about reunions.

A bee sting to the neck sucks mightily. I've felt Noah's malaise and I sympathize.

Wow, it is super-reassuring to have the insurance company tell me that there's something wrong with the way the website is calculating my FSA account balance. Good thing I looked really carefully.

It'll be my 25th college reunion next year. I'm considering going, but with pretty deep reservations. I'd love to hear what my classmates have been up to, but have no idea what I would tell them about my life.

We haven't had an official high school reunion, so far as I know, ever. One unofficial that I heard about, would've been like my 7th or 8th, I guess? I didn't go. It'll be my 30th in a couple of years, if somebody organizes something I suppose I would think about showing up.

Oh, glorious temps in the 70s, how I have missed you!

Can you send those up here? We promise we'll send them right back.

No way, I already had to brave Kentucky cold this weekend.

Its mostly stopped snowing here - the roads are a mess but at least its not as windy as it was this morning. My back is probably going to be sore again tomorrow because I slippef hard on some dnow-covered ice. Argh.

Man, I am having a weird reaction to something. Is it safe to mix different types of allergy meds? I've taken (generic) Benadryl, and I've got generic versions of Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra standing by. Also have liberally applied some hydrocortisone cream and have a few other lotions I could try but I feel like the internal application is what's gonna really help. The Benadryl is definitely helping but I would like to feel more normal and less itchy if I can...

Oh yeah, you can. I take benadryl and Claritin every night.

What you shouldn't do is mix Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra, but you CAN take any 1 of them with Benadryl.

You can take 2 Benadryl at a time, although it may well zonk you out, unless you're me (and, I think, Cass).

And even though the Zyrtec/Claritin/Allegra says 1 pill every 24 hours, for a significant allergic reaction that won't budge, you can take 1 pill every 12 hours.

Finally, in Oddities Of Pharmaceuticals, you can add Zantac (or the generic, ranitidine) to the mix -- it is actually a histamine blocker, and apparently works pretty well for skin reactions.

How long ago did you take the Benadryl? Sometimes it takes a little while to work. I wouldn't double up too much on internal and external stuff.

Ooh, forget what I said. I like Tep's answer better. Also, I did not know that about Zantac!
