Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Because I know a ton of people who REFUSE to ever take more of any OTC drug than the bottle says, even when I point out that when the same drug is prescribed, the dose is 2x that amount. Like ibuprofen.

Huh. That's not my experience.

I'm surprised at how many rules-followers I know, because I cheerfully disregard the OTC label for everything except Tylenol. (Well, only when I need to. When 1 Zyrtec works, then I don't need to exceed the label's limit of 1.)

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

My Ex BIL died from an accidental overdose of Tylenol.

I do admit I rarely follow suggested dosages, but I so very rarely use anything in the first place.

I decided to go the cocktail dress route. Dark purple jersey with a beaded waist detail.

It's gorgeous! You always have the BEST stuff. My high school reunion is next week and I'm still dithering about what to wear.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I always follow the instructions - when I bother to take OTC meds, that is. DW gets frustrated with my lack of OTCness. I guess I just wasn't raised that way, so now it's not a habit.

Har. I have this awesome dress and jacket combo (shiny red raw silk), but the dress has a high neckline. I've been trying to find someone to fix it. I might just wear the jacket with black pants and a boob-y top.

Because books.

It makes me itchy, but I DON'T CARE. ::sits with Trudy::

This. When I figured out prescription Motrin was essentially just 800 mgs, I knew I could take 4 ibuprofen for a really bad tooth or whatever.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Barb, LOVE the dress. I'm sure you'll be smokin' in it.

I have no real painkiller preference, except that codeine makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and sleeeeeepy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

When I figured out prescription Motrin was essentially just 800 mgs, I knew I could take 4 ibuprofen for a really bad tooth or whatever.

As Tylenol has only ever been any use to me as a fever-reducer, or in combination with an NSAID, I've never been tempted to exceed the dose on the label. But other things for which I am aware that a higher, prescription strength dosage exists, I will cheerfully ignore the instructions. I do make sure to fess up to the doctor exactly how much I take, and have mostly gotten confirmation that I'm not insane for doing that.

I am, however, insane for other reasons. Most notably, my subconscious. I just woke up from a dream in which I was wandering around in a bathrobe, getting ready to take a shower, when Richard Dean Anderson shows up. WooHoo, right? Yup, cuz I really needed a tall person to help me put the shower curtain up, thank you very much, and now do you mind, I'd like to take my shower now by myself so I can go to work.

My subconscious has a serious lack of imagination.
