Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Unfortunately, it looks like my day really may never end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My day is long gone!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My day started kinda late, so I guess it's fair it's ending kind of late. I'll go grab my strawberries (sweet treat of the week) out of the fridge and eat them as I tidy up my desk for the end of the week.

And then home, sweet, home.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I wanna go home.

First I have to go to TJs and before that I have to fight Friday evening traffic and before that it has to be 6pm.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

God, I love Mike Bloomberg. I just called to report that the traffic light was out at an intersection near my home and I got to report it to the 311 operator, the DOT operator, and 911. It's a light! We don't need this in triplicate! But they were taking my complaint VERY SERIOUSLY.

I am home! But I didn't work today. Instead I slept late and went for a long walk in the woods and then my houseguest and I went to the DeYoung and saw the beautiful Turkmen rugs, which made me want to buy a new rug.

But I can't until the new dog stops peeing on the floor when she thinks I won't notice.

Now we're off to see Iron Man and eat popcorn, yay!

Hello? I'm very sorry to just jump into the thread, but I really need to use the Hivemind for a minute, if anyone's around?

I have a strip of Actifed, with no instructions for use. I am a coughing and sorrowful snotmonster. How many pills am I supposed to take, and how often? Google is giving me no love here beyond 'follow the instructions on the pack' which is not so much with the helpfulness because - no pack.

Consuela, Is this a new new dog, or the new dog you got a while back?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

How big a dose is one pill? Cause Actifed comes in different doses.

[Edit} Or maybe it doesn't.

According to this web site:

[link] Each pill constains: (Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg Antihistamine) + (Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg Nasal decongestant)

and the standard dose is one tablet.
