Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Glad to hear it, meara! That really sounds like fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, meara!

meara, I read that as "space camp" twice. I was really excited about you going to space camp!

Same.

Steph, if I took aceta...Tylenol less than an hour ago and it's not touching the twinge in my back, am I allowed to take the ibuprofen that I found a stash of, or is it too soon?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

You can take them together (I mean, in the future), and then for subsequent doses, follow their recommended interval because I think they're different -- I think Tylenol is every 6 hours, and ibuprofen is every 4 hours (or 4 to 6).

Anyway, take that ibuprofen! You can actually take 800 mg (4 tablets), but then the dosing interval is every 8 hours.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Huh. Wordpress just bought Tumblr.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Um. I need help reacting to something.

Is it Wordpress buying Tumblr, Dana? Because I cannot help you with that.

As a matter of fact, it is that.
