I don't think I am better, but I often feel smarter, or at least more informed.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Calling Teppy. I have a stupid med question. The Lasik doc gave me a prescription for 2 diazapam. Apparently I take one before the surgery and the second, I guess, is in case that doesn't calm me enough. I have lorazepam for my anxiety issues. Can I mix the two? Like take a Lorazapam in the morning, when I wake up and then the diazapam for the laser in my eyeball? Or would that be too much of the same thing? I'm not driving, my best friend is helping me out with that.
Ugh on the carpal tunnel cost, Dana.
This really feels like 2000 all over again, minus the hanging chads.
I want to be the person who does the latter, but I don't think I've got it in me.
Yeah, me too. I was already feeling bad because I haven't been doing a lot, and I feel like there's more need but I am not more able. So I don't know how to resolve that.
That's not out of pocket, is it, Dana? Yikes.

I often feel smarter, but I've grown to be amazed how some people demonize intellect. I don't think I'm better for being smart, why do some think it's better not to be smart/informed?
Yours isn't Workman's Comp, Dana? Ouch.
If anyone is feeling like they cannot manage their family this holiday, my guest room is welcome. TX is still a red state, but my family is blue and welcoming.
why do some think it's better not to be smart/informed?
Because that makes you part of the great Common Man who made this country what it is! The stalwart pioneers who came to this land and carved a nation out of the wilderness!
And don't point out how many of our Founding Fathers had lots of higher education/book learning.
I have to detach myself from most social media and "news" tv. I just can't stay with it, it's making me too angry and bitter.
