Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think double what's on the bottle is standard for OK. But that's not true for Tylenol!

I wouldn't go over the bottle rec on naproxen either, but that may just be the way my body metabolizes meds.

I'm waiting for someone at my company to say something about my hair. I know I'm not in the office a lot, but the purple bangs are pretty obvious.

Punishingly Intricate

Advil (ibuprofen) rule is two hours per 200 mg. So 200 mg every 2 hours, 600 every 6 hours etc.

I usually do 600 mg every 6 hours.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

How much Advil can I take in one day?

You can take 800 mg every 4-6 hours, though not for months on end (without talking to a doctor).

I was really mad, and I still think someone should have probably said something, but on the other hand, I can't believe I expected a non-costume/sewing type person to distinguish chambray pants from denim jeans.

In junior high, a classmate got in trouble for wearing denim gauchos or palazzo-type pants on a field trip, because the dress code specifically said "No jeans." And another teacher jumped in and said that "jeans" refers to the cut of the pants, not the fabric they are made from; that lots of students wore corduroy "jeans" and didn't get in trouble, but this girl who wore denim-material pants was abiding by the dress code so she shouldn't get in trouble.

The dress code got amended to read "No denim jeans or pants of any kind", etc.

Is that actually true, though? Does "jeans" refer to the style and not the fabric? I have no idea.

Ah, the evil that is denim.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, Daniel.

I believe there is a no shorts, no open toed shoes rule here, but that's more of a safety issue than anything else.

I went to a hippy school, so denim jeans were not an issue. Pretty sure there were kids who wore birkenstocks and flip flops too, which would be a no-no nowadays.

And in only-exciting-to-me news, I am currently washing laundry IN MY OWN WASHER! Woo to the hoo! (So that only took, um, two months?)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't think my school had a dress code. In elementary school, the only things I remember being specifically told not to wear were the Bart Simpson "Underachiever, and proud of it, man" and "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?" shirts. I think there might have also been a rule that shoes had to have backs, or a least a strap around the heel. In high school, I remember once seeing the vice principal tell a girl wearing a spaghetti strap top that she had to put something on over it, and she did, because she was a "good kid" and wasn't about to get in trouble over a shirt, but the whole thing confused all of us, because girls wore spaghetti straps all the time, and no one had ever told us not to. There was also one time that a girl wearing a really short skirt was told to change because "Some of the male teacher are complaining that it's distracting," and that just grossed us all out.
