Good luck, bthyb... I had a strange reaction to Lexapro myself. It hits everyone differently.
I also had a really bad reaction to Cymbalta. It made me vomit every 15 minutes for 2 days (unless I was asleep). That may be an exaggeration, but it sure feels like that's about right. I get that odd nauseated feeling whenever someone says, "hey, I heard about this new antidepressant called Cymbalta!"

I do the hood-over-hat thing when it's really cold and I'm going to be outside. Otherwise the wind zips right into the hood and chills my ears.

I was thinking of a stocking cap. And yes, it's obscenely cold - it actually snowed a bit earlier (but didn't stick.)
I don't really like hoods because they don't keep my ears as warm, and because my hair always flops out of them and looks stupid.
Thanks for the advice!

I'm finally getting my own cell phone line- I had to wait for a 2-year contract with the former Mr. Ng to expire.
I used to have a Sidekick II until it was mislaid by the USPS. I really liked having a QWERTY keyboard since my best friend texts me thirty thousand times a day.
Does anyone have any recs for a phone they like? Or have you seen a good deal somewhere? Any phone recs are appreciated.
Thanks!

Starting at 11:45pm Monday my new kinda SO (I say kinda because we are a couple but haven't really called each other boyfriend and girlfriend yet) spent over 24 hours* together. During that time the longest we were apart was about 20 minutes at a time twice.
I'd met his mother and brother before we were even dating since they all live together, but yesterday I met his father, stepmother, stepbrother, grandma and grandpa, aunt, uncle, cousin, great aunt and great uncle. They were all really nice (and they had cute doggies to play with! ) and seemed to like me alright. It made me feel pretty good, since with my last boyfriend only his mom even tolerated me.
* ETA: The important part of that. I can't recall even spending 12 straight hours with someone and not being annoyed with them once before. Which I guess might be sad, but meh. The point is, I was not only not annoyed, but also not bored that entire time with J. It was nice.

Its going to only get up to the mid-60s tomorrow. I'm having a terrible time deciding what to wear to work. If the heats on, I'll probably burn up so I'd like to dress cool but I have to go outside probably so I'll need to dress warmly. I also can't wear strappy tank tops,shorts or skirts (the skirts is by choice. Skirts & a 2YO classroom do not go together!). Hopefully I won't die of heat or freeze to death tomorrow. I'm thinking the coolness will probably feel good.

I don't know about your professor (but I'm thinking "No it's not"). I do however think that it is cool when something that has been debunked/confirmed with the help of snopesters ends up on the main pages.
I was just reading this thread the other day and now Mickey is enlightening professors with the results.
(I realise that this is probably part of the function of the ULMB but it is still cool).

I don't do hoods for the same reason. I cannot stand having my peripheral vision obstructed. There's also the issue that my range of motion for my head is a lot less when wearing a hood.
In fact if you'd seen me tonight you would have seen me in a black trenchcoat with a watch cap on and the red hood from my hoodie sticking out of the coat.
I just hate it when he's sick. Not because he's a whiny baby, he's really not. But because I know I'm going to get whatever he's got.
Poor Mr. K has a stomach virus. Definitely a virus, he's got slight fever, body aches, and the green apple trots. Or at least, he did. And, he had more than that this morning, poor baby.
So, I think he's feeling a little better. I've had him on ginger ale, crackers, soup, and ibuprofen today. And made sure that the Lysol spray was out in the bathroom so he could spray the potty and the sink after going.
Please send "no sickness" vibes for me and the Young One, please? I really don't want a stomach virus making the rounds around here.

Ms.K, I will happily send you no sickness vibes. I don't know if they are worth much since I'm getting over a cold myself.
However, I will pimp myself out for some vibes myself.
But, today was my dog's six week checkup from her massive surgery. Sadly it wasn't good news. When we went in, she was a class 4 patella luxation. Thankfully her kneecap is no longer located near the back of her knee, but it didn't go into the right place. It is still over just a bit. So she needs another bit of surgery. Good news, all bones have healed well and all prosthetics are still in place. Bad news, she needs the surgery soon and all next week I've got packers, movers, and cleaning crew. I think I've finally gotten somethign worked out with a friend that will take her from the surgeon to the vet for boarding for 4 days until the move, while I'm stuck at the house with the packers. After all this has cost, what is a couple more grand? ha hee hoo. Yep this is me going nutty. Oh, and more fun, moving a doped dog 4 hours into a new house to have her kennel bound for another month. *sigh* At this point, I should be not only storong, but immortal. Thank goodness there are no blood pressure checks in my future.

I saw the Stones last night at Soldier Field. Decent stadium show, but they understandably cut their set pretty damned short: it was a frigid 30 degrees. I've never seen a band wrapped in multiple layers, with hats 'n scarves. Crazy. Before they launched into "Tumblin' Dice," Jagger even screamed that he couldn't feel his feet.
I've never seen them live and had no idea just how much Ron Wood keeps that group together. Richards basically kept to the rhythm the entire night.
All 'n all, a great time: especially as I was downing buckets of alcohol to trick the feeling back into my own dancin’ toes.

Congrats, Casey! (Out of curiosity; what are you doing now? Are you in Medical School?)
I, on the other hand, am, as of yesterday, an EMT-B student. If everything works out and A gets his car so he can take us there twice a week, I'll be a certified EMT by April. Wheeee!

So with the elections coming up, there's a rash of election signs everywhere.
There's one in particular that has me giggling when I see it... It's for a state rep I think, and her last name is Hale. Her sign reads:
"HALE Yes!"
Everytime I see it, I read it as "Hell yes!!" with a little southern accent
And now I'm wondering if it was intentional!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. It's a marketing technique. Have something that will stick out in voters' minds.

Today I saw an attack ad aimed at someone I know -- first time that's happened. It was a pretty weak attack. Apparently the candidate in question, who has never held public office, was not a regular voter during the 1990s. This, we were told, was a sign that she was not a leader.
I'm not sure why they didn't just point out her lack of experience; maybe her opponent doesn't have any, either.
My favorite stupid ad so far has been an ad for a Congressman named Pat Tiberi. It features a voiceover of a woman talking about how great Tiberi is, and ends with her saying, "and I should know, because he's my husband." Wow, what an endorsement: his wife likes him.

Yeah. I'd be more impressed if she were endorsing his opponent.
"Pat leaves his socks around the house! Do you really want to trust someone like that with your tax dollars?
"And sometimes Pat doesn't do the dishes! And he never does the laundry, nor does he take out the trash! Can you trust such a person around your children? I think not -- why do you think we don't have any?"

They're awful around here. I've seen ONE ad that actually had the candidate saying "I will do this, and fight for that, etc. etc." rather than saying horrible things about his opponent.
I can't turn around without hearing "Sherrod Brown let us down!"
Then there's this other obnoxious one with local Cincinnatians using the regional "Please?" (which means "Excuse me?" around here) after being told about all the awful things that whomever has supported in office.

It tasted a bit off, and had separated a bit, but was not as off as the one time I was trying to give the dog a pill covered in with peanut butter. When he turned it down I made him eat it, then tried a spoonful myself, and spent the next five minutes gagging and trying various mouthwashes. I felt very guilty.
ETA: I just remembered I also gave Buddy some this morning. I must stop trying to poison my dogs.
You can have my stereo, Canuck, but you have to insert a pencil in a crudely carved hole in the side to eject cassettes, so I wouldn't invest much in shipping.

Roadie, you can have money when I get some cash of my own. As for that EMT course, Rhea, best of luck. I was enrolled in one last fall and quit after day one- not because of the material, but the prof. The guy kept waxing rhapsodic about his firefighter and "professional" students and bashing college students as "acting too good for this" and "expecting it all to be easy".

You're better than me, Roadie (which isn't that hard)
I'm in a debate with a friend about which is better- Jagermeister or wine. I say wine, because it's more appropriate for multiple occasions.
And that's got me thinking about how much I want to go to the Walt Disney World Food and Wine Festival some day...
