With Diamox, I forget the scientific name. It speeds up acclimitization, although the side effect is that you pee a LOT, like constantly. But even with Diamox and 7 days at altitude, getting up to 19,400 ASL was hella hard. I had a headache at the summit, although I didn't get confused or anything

Cool! I got a prescription for that when I went to Chile, because we went up to about 14K feet. Luckily we were able to acclimate over a few days, going to like 8 and 10 and 11K first, so I didn't end up taking the diamox. I've never been to 19K but even at 14 you could tell how quickly it tired you out and how thin the air was

High school graduation, though? If the twins are 17/18, she had them at 23.

Unrelatedly, someone remind me not to go argue with/smack down early 20s gothlings who are posting sweeping gatekeeper statements on FB, complete with throwing around the word "poser". It'll just make me cranky.

I have pictures of testicles if you think they'll help.

It took me a couple of months to adjust to living in Utah at 4,800 ft from the few hundred I lived at in Pennsylvania.

Teppy has our backs.

Or it may be that hers are the biggest balls of them all.

Well, the *pictures* are, at least.

Jilli, I have never heard of bi-polar like that. Fascinating.

The mental health community is moving away from the "Bi-polar I" and "Bi-Polar II" designations, and now consider it more on a spectrum, with hypomania and depression being hallmarks without accompanying manic phases. When I first talked with the new psych last year, he said, "Oh yeah, that's where you are", and really helpful. I just wonder if my meds decrease in efficiency when I'm under huge amounts of stress.

My mental health, let me tell you! Also, let me show you my tag of Pete Wentz is not an emotional role model.

I was thinking 22. BUT STILL. That's quite young for someone who graduated from college and then got married? HRMPH. MADE ME FEEL EXTREMELY OLD.
