Green smoothie experiment 1: baby spinach, banana, mango, hemp protein powder. Pretty good, actually. It's bright green, but I don't taste the spinach at all. Next time, I think more mango and less banana.
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Just how wrong is it to "reply all" with a Snopes addy when you get some stupid, pseudo-patriotic, forwarded email?I've done this to my Uncle a few times. Especially during election. Did it to my sister. Received replies from others on the list thanking me. My sisters college roommate responded with a "o what happened to your sister, when did she turn ignorant and Republican?"
She was horrified, and has been much more inclined to think critically about the junkmail her friends send her.Oh Fay, I wish my Uncle knew her. He still does the super forward of 20 times thing too, so I'm scrolling through multiple "This is great". Most of the time I just delete. Esecially when they are power point things. I love it when he sends a "OMG VIRUS ALERT" as I reply with a "well, I have a Mac, so it doesn't effect me. Sucks to be a Windows user. Good luck with that"
I'm a bad daughter, aren't I?Nope.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Well, drat. I just went outside to snap a picture of my rosebush for a coworker (we've been talking gardening) and I tripped. Scraped the hell out of my left knee, leg, and (I'm not sure how) the front part of my ankle.
Trying to get bandaids on multiple scrapes without putting the sticky parts on any of the open bits is quite the challenge.

The article doesn't mention this, but the panel also voted to CANCEL CHRISTMAS, and CLOSE DISNEYLAND.

Since the acetaminophen component of those drugs is what's at issue -- not the narcotic component -- it seems that doctors could just prescribe the single-component narcotic w/o the acetaminophen.

Couldn't they reformulate it with ibuprofen or something?

acetaminophen has benefits that ibuprofen doesn't, like a fever reducer. And, the fact is that ibuprofen doesn't work for some people, like me. Advil doesn't do shit for my pain, but two extra strength tylenol, and I'm good to go.

Exactly. That's what my mom takes now.
