Opium dens were known to be full of people just lying around smoking and dreaming.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

ION, I did a Google search for "low-carb snacks that don't suck", and it's surprising how many results came up with "that don't suck" in the title. I sense a trend with low-carb snacks. However, many of them were preaching the "joy" of celery, so my dream of low-carb popcorn seems as far away as ever.

My coworkers are pooling their money for the megamillions jackpot. I declined to join in, but one of them says she'll hire me as a salaried financial consultant, so that'll do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Then another doctor told me that Advil was bad and I wasn't to take it ...
WTAF? Bad for you specifically, or bad as a blanket policy? Because obviously it's just fine for a lot of people. And if I recall that one This American Life (?) correctly, you're way less likely to overdose on Advil than Tylenol.
If there were warm fuzzy floaty feelings involved I might feel different, but for me it is extreme nausea and inability to function at any level.
Ah, so my experience both times I tried ecstasy.

Opioids put me to sleep in 15 minutes flat, dead to the world for 6-8 hrs. Help with the pain? Dunno, wasn't conscious.
They have no effect on my brother until they get to an insane dosage where they start suppressing respiration. (He was a paid guinea pig a lot in grad school...so when it happened in a study, he got all sorts of tests done that pointed to a weird genetic abnormality.) We think my mom likely has same, which is why she hated them-they did nothing for her post surgical pain. What made her miserable was the pain, drugs were irrelevant.

**(No, seriously, Tylenol might as well be M&Ms for all the good they do me. They do help with Tim's arthritis pain, though, so YTylenolMV.)
I feel the same way about advil. Anything less than 800mg is candy. Give me Tylenol

When I had my tooth abscess/root canal, the dentist gave me a schedule of 2 advil, then two hours later, 2 tylenol, and on and on. That worked really well. I believe it was to avoid opiates, as my previous root canal 10 or so years ago landed me with percocet.

My mother is classic her: she just came home from a meeting, came into my apartment to say, "should we put the yard waste barrel out?" I was like, I dunno, does it have stuff in it? Yes, it does. I'm in my pajamas! Why couldn't she just put it out on her way in when she noticed it wasn't?!? I said I'd do it in the morning.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
If you have kidney issues, ibuprofen is bad. (This is probably a gross generalization.)
