How long does azithromycin stay in the body after the last dose?

About a week. The idea behind the z-pak, is that, because of the long half-life, you only take 5 days of pills, but they hang around in your system for twice as long.

My not-a-doctor guess is that you'll start feeling better in a day or two.

My dad is John but no one else in our family ends in N.

Okay, fact I just learned: Kai Ryssdal flew planes off the aircraft carrier Roosevelt. He's not just an NPR personality, but also a badass! (and born in Canada, naturally).

I bought brussel sprouts tonight and am planning on roasting them tomorrow.

I need the hivemind. CJ's search and rescue team puts out a new shirt design every couple of years and it is time to come up with something new. The last one we did had a silhouette of 3 members hiking in the woods and said "Support Arapahoe Rescue Patrol". Kinda basic. Popular shirts have had a funny element. One says "Support ARP" on the front and "Get lost" on the back. The other says "Delaying Natural Selection since 1957".

Any creative ideas for a new search and rescue related, fun tagline?

Connie you can file an extension but you're still supposed to pay on time if you owe. But is the money really in last years taxes?

(Also, one more Kai Ryssdal fact -- he lives in my neighborhood).

But is the money really in last years taxes?

The cancellation of debt document says 2013.

That doesn't seem fair. Maybe you can arrange a payment plan?

The kale salad is fine. Mostly tastes like lemon and cheese, which is not bad by any means, but I guess I expected a stronger kale flavor.

My new neighbor across the street just came by to warn me that they are having a wedding over there on Saturday. She seems nice. And I remembered to introduce myself before she got completely back to my driveway, so I'm not totally inept at this meeting people thing - largely, but not totally.

Kat, that's kinda hilarious and fascinating.

My parents have become gadget geeks. My dad has an iPhone, his macbook pro, the air, nanos, my mom an iPad and now she has a iPad mini. And they have cable.

Everything of mine is at least 5 years old. And I'm still on dsl because I can't figure out an upgrade in which a phone line and internet combined (not necessarily a package, just total monthly) stay under my current $95 total (of which $30 is all the various taxes and fees, so I get all excited about advertised upgrades at $15 more...but those are without the fees,) and I'm not increasing costs. Plus $80/yr (for which I have a balance that will now cover a year and a half, but I have to add $80/yr to keep the rate) for a cell service I don't use all of the minutes on but I won't go strictly to cell because the reception is lousy in our houses and location and I rarely use the phone outside the house. Every time I do the research, I lose a little bit more of my mind.

...I'm just fucking cheap and disinclined to fix it until it breaks. Irrevocably. And this is all their fault and now they've turned into ALIENS!

Thank you, Steph. One more q: does "half-life" in medicine mean "half is gone in X time and the other half is gone in X more time" or is it the same as half-life in physics? I expect the former but then I don't know why they don't just call it the "life" at X2.

If a drug's half-life is, say, 3 hours, 1/2 the dose is gone in 3 hours, and then half of what's left (so, 1/4 of the original dose) is gone in another 3 hours (meaning 3/4 has cleared in 2 half-lives, or 6 hours), etc.

Is that a physics half-life? I was (am) a dummy when it comes to physics.
