Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Let me know if they still make you swear you don't have syphilis. (I swear to god, mine did. Hamilton County, 1998.)
If they ask that, I'm going to angrily turn to Tim, point, and say, "How does THIS GUY know you have syphilis?!? 'Working late,' my ass!"
Hey, what's the blood test supposed to be for, anyway?
I think only a few states even still require a blood test (Ohio doesn't), but it is for some STIs, as well as sickle-cell anemia and Tay-Sachs.
Massachusetts got rid of the blood test sometime in the past ten years.
Do they not let you get married if you're results aren't right, whatever they are testing? That's fucked up.
Come to think of it, I don't think my sister's marriage license was from the county where they held the ceremony. But they had a Unitarian minister to sign it, and she might have been from the same county as the paperwork.
Eta; and now that I am looking for the, there don't seem to be any states that really require blood tests. The ones that have it listed as a requirement either recently got rid of it or you can sign a waiver and not do it. So I guess that's moot. But I don't really understand it historically, either.
And the Straight Dope says it was basically for the syph. [link]
So, not like getting your vision checked when you get a driver's license, more like free blood pressure monitoring when you pick up a prescription?
night medicine question. I am having awful allergies today, I am also achy and tired of not getting good sleep. ok to take both an allergy pill and advil pm?
Advil PM has diphenhydramine, which is Benadryl. You don't need an allergy pill with it, and doubling up on antihistamines can really dry you out.

What allergy pill?
t edit x-post! I was just going to say, don't take benadryl with advil pm, because you'll be doubling up on diphenhydramine.
It's probably the same thing as benadryl, which is diphenhydramine. I would guess that a double dose won't kill you, but you might ask Steph.
It might leave you really groggy tomorrow, though.
