'War Stories'
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.
Yesterday I read that the Swedish Bakery (in Chicago) is going to close. It was open for nearly a century - but apparently people don't want quality baked goods?
I'm pretty sure this is where my brother got his wedding cake. And I know that quite a few of my niece's birthday cakes came from there.
So sad.
I have an MSR and a Sweetwater
So Patton Oswalt released the cause of death for his wife. Check it out, Tep. That is not a good combo:
In a statement to The Associated Press, Oswalt revealed the details of a coroner's report received earlier today, which showed that McNamara died from an interaction between a condition that caused blockages in her arteries, and Xanax, Adderall, and the pain medication fentanyl. McNamara was 46.
Seems like Adderall and Fentanyl is a straight up speedball. Uppers and downers at the same time.
I know it sounds like a speedball, but they're actually fine to take together at normal doses. People with ADD need pain control sometimes.
If the doses were too high, or if she was abusing them, that's a whole other kettle of fish. And it sounds like the interaction was not between the drugs and each other, but between the drugs and the medical condition, which is totally a thing.
I feel like that was pharmasplaining. Sorry.
I appreciate the explanation, Steph.
Today has been a total self care day so far. I feel very indulged but now I need to buckle down and get some homework done.
I got the pedicure and fucked up one of the big toes, as I would have predicted. Oh well -- no one is seeing them anyway!
Roasted carrot and red lentil ragout is simmering...
I'm about to make a strawberry sour cream pie.
