Yeah, the main reason they change the labeling on that stuff when it goes over the counter is because they want people to check in with a doctor before super-prescribing themselves. So, if, say, you already HAD a prescription for it, rock on. If you just *decide* you should be taking it forever and ever...maybe you should check and make sure you don't have Alien Baby Syndrome, rather than just heartburn. (And ...seriously...heartburn can have many causes, and can also cause things like esophageal cancer. So, um, a visit to the doctor or a mention of it at your next visit might be in order, IJS, if you haven't already)
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Mine was prescribed. After years of complaining to doctors about pain when I lay down, it took my oncologist to take me seriously and prescribe something that worked. (Chemo ratcheted it up to the point that I was washing down Tums with the Maalox I kept in my purse.)
Of course, when it went OTC, it stopped being covered by my co-pay, so it costs me more.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In a world where meteorites don't give us superpowers, alien babies are our only recourse.
Did you hear this sentence in your head in that movie preview guy's voice?
Ha ha ha. I do NOW.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just took a walk into Georgetown. Got Lush stuff and books, then walked back along the river, which was pretty, though crowded with people playing loud music on boats. Also while walking, I spotted a crewcut blond guy in a Jeep with radio blasting "Gold Dust Woman" by Fleetwood Mac.

Our wings are not tired
I have made it to SF. However our gate is occupied and we can't pull up to it. My next flight is scheduled to leave in 11 minutes.

Yep. Flight is gone. Now in what I estimate to be a 1 to 2 hour long line for the customer service desk.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We just went up to the gay pride festival (held in my AWESOME neighborhood) and got caught in a downpour, whereupon we took refuge in a pavillion/gazebo with hoardes of GLBTQ folk. The Cincy Men's Chorus was in the gazebo with us, and promptly started singing "Yellow Submarine," followed by "It's Raining Men."
I love my neighborhood.
