Mind if I complain for a minute? |
|
Too bad, I'm going to do it anyhow.
I can't breathe. My allergies have my nose stopped up, my throat is tore up from postnasal drip and my eyes were watering for days before I filled my house with smoke. On top of all of that, I've got cramps, my back is killing me, I'm hot and my feet are hurting.
I'm broke. I still haven't got my car over to the shop, and school starts tuesday. I need time off, not 15 units of additional responsibility.
Oh, and I'm out of fucking beer. :cry:

Girly-poo's and #1 son's allergies are acting up, too. It's miserable, I know.

24. If there's a animal-product free OTC allergy med, I haven't found it. |

27. I don't think there's anything |
|
in a generic pseudoephendrine HCL, nor a generic "Benadryl" that would come from animals. I think it's all chemical (the name brands having been likely tested on animals, the generics would not have been, I don't believe).
I could, as I have been in the past, be wrong.

I'll go check the store again.

30. If pseuoephedrine knocks you out... |
|
that's just messed up. Generic Sudafed will help clear you up, but a generic diphenhydramine (sp?) WITH the pseudoephedrine should help the histamine suppression, while not being a downer. Find the generic benedryl non-drowsy formula.

32. Oh, the non-drowsy stuff gets me waaaaaaaaaaaay off in tweaker mode |
|
But the house is a mess, so that might not be a bad thing. :shrug:

37. Considering your weight = that of a 12 year old boy, maybe the dosage |
|
might be more along the lines of the children "up to age 12" stated on the bottle, hmm, yes?
That aside, would you rather tweak or doze while LK runs amok?

38. Tweaking would be about the right speed. |
|
I weigh 129 lbs, if the doctor's office scale is to believed. I'd be a rather pudgy twelve year old.

35. Take a kid's dose if possible |
|
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 10:25 PM by Gormy Cuss
I over react to most OTCs for cold and allergy symptoms but I have found that taking the kiddie formula provides some relief without turning me into a zombie.
My allergies were kicked up this week too and I'm not happy about it either. Buy you a beer?:beer:

You can open your nose with some mango tea, dear! And I'll give you some beer and popcorn. And a hug, and not ask for anything in return. :hug:

10. LeftyKid killed our TV. |
|
I think I have some tea around here someplace though. I'll go look in the little freestanding cupboard where we hide all the "weird healthy food" since my sister is afraid vegness is contagious or something. :)

He sprayed a ton of Method all-purpose cleaner on it and some dripped inside and fried a board.

25. Aww! LeftyMom! Don't worry, if you can put up with all this happening, |
|
then you are sure to get a great kid as a payoff, but for the time bieng, perhaps some hugs would be in order:
(Sorry that they are over the internet, but that is the best I can do from here)
