My mom found out she'd had a heart attack at some point when the doctors were doing blood work. They tied it in to her Phen-phen use a while back. It must have been fairly minor since she had no memory of it. Alternatively, Mom had had terrible back pain and migraines for years, and perhaps the heart attack didn't rate in comparison. Dad also had a heart attack that landed him in the hospital, probably related to his Vioxx use.

Hubby was on Vioxx, but they never tied his heart issues to that. He just wanted the Vioxx back, it actually stopped the pain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I remember the enchilada conversation, but I don't recall which thread -- sarameg was talking about how in her part of New Mexico, layered is just the normal way of having enchiladas, but everywhere else it gets called an enchilada casserole... if you don't have any luck finding the convo, maybe that would be a reasonably googleable object?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It must have been sarameg -- she'll surely come back around and re-describe.

I somewhat arbitrarily decided that carbonation was like leavening. Regretting that right now, as I would really like a Diet Coke.

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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
To all his well-wishers, Harvey says, "Mrrrt." Which I believe is feline for "thank you very much!"
we get Pluto back next?
I hope not. I'm on Team Tyson, all the way.
Pluto has a moon. Of course it's a planet. Unless...
That's. No. Moon.

Fizzy lifting drink, leavening... yeah, I see a connection.

I'm pretty sure that even the non-gebrokts people will drink soda, as long as it doesn't touch matzo.

Yeah, well, arbitrary -t is arbitrary.
