Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Surely Yelp has a category for that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap -- I just called my dentist's office, and the person who answered told me the name of the person at the desk in the orthodontist area, and I've already forgotten! It just falls right out of my head. It's something like Rispee? I guess it's time to give up on remembering.

Meh. The pollen count is too damn high (die, ragweed, die), the temperature is WAY too cool (I am not remotely ready for fall-like temperatures yet), and my coffee is not waking me up. And on top of that, I just opened the article I have to edit today, and it's a long article about multiple forms of child abuse.

I would like to return today for a refund or exchange.

Oh, ugh, Tep, that doesn't sound like a great day. Maybe you can get store credit if you can find a manager.

I'll be in testing today, but my department has closed all it's issues so I'm really just standing by in case something comes up that needs my input. Really the only downside is that I have a less ergonomic workspace. Happy with my breakfast, though - poached duck egg on toast with Muenster (which was moldy but not all moldy and I know I'm not supposed to just go ahead and eat the still not moldy bits but I've been doing it all my life and never gotten sick from it (at least not obviously)).

It occurred to me last night that my little bout of maybe flu was maybe West Nile, that's supposed to be fluish, yes? I did get bit by more mosquitoes than usual in the last week or so. Anyway, seems to have passed whatever it was so it probably doesn't matter.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That doesn't sound good, Steph. Neither does West Nile!

I have switched from claritin to Allegra for the allergies, and it does seem to be helping-- but most of my problem is skin, not sinus, so maybe that is why?

You can take histamine 2 blockers meant for heartburn/GERD along WITH Allegra/Claritin/etc., because they actually are helpful for skin manifestations of allergic reactions.

The histamine 2 blockers are Tagamet (cimetidine), Pepcid (famotidine), Axid (nizatidine), and Zantac (ranitidine).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

My doctor used to prescribe me Allegra for my skin reactions all the time: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

These are the only ones that work for my heartburn, the PPI antacids make it worse, somehow. Good to know they might help my skin reactions too.

What I need is an antihistamine that doesn't make me sleepy and dull, but still works.

So in an ongoing quest to figure out this woman's name, I thought maybe it's Ripsi, and now I think she may actually be the Ripsi who was on Bad Girls Club??? [link] Or they are related and/or it's just an Armenian "type." Anyway, at least now I know her name.
