I got mugged.

[Büge]

Are you okay? Physically, I mean.

[Thad]

Yeah, hope you're all right and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

[Thad]

Man it sure is hard to continue loving the rain now that every pressure drop gives me a horrific fucking headache.  It's like being hungover and I only had two beers last night.

Doesn't help that I've got a bunch of people coming for a party and now there's a lot less dry ground to stand on than there was yesterday.

And I just washed that damn patio, too.

[TA]

Extra strength Excedrin, Thad.  Acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine.  Pressure drops give me migraines too, and that clears 'em up.

[Classic]

I don't know if it's any consolation, but I get mild hangovers now after even a single drink.

EDIT:
My "groceries" budget has become a lot less tight for it though.

Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and this work pretty well for me, since ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory, acetaminophen is a pain reliever, and the nasal spray helps with the inflammation and any congestion.

Pretty sure you're not supposed to mix ibuprofen and aspirin, though.

[Classic]

Ibuprophen and Aspirin have weird and potentially dangerous interactions. As far as I can tell, they bind to the same site. The result seems to be that the Ibuprophen attenuates staying in the system longer than you might expect without any obvious change to the benefit of the drug.
Aspirin is also an anti-inflammatory though?

EDIT:
That said, Aspriin and Ibuprophen are both rough on your liver (never got an answer as to "how rough" relative to say, alcohol). So you've gotta balance that against your headache.

[Caithness]

I thought Acetaminophen was more rough on your liver than Ibuprofen.

[TA]

It is, but interactions.

[Classic]

Last I checked (2010?) the FDA was suggesting that Tylenol was actually safer in general than aspirin. The problem is that so many things have a dose of acetaminphen that people were getting consistent high doses without realizing it.

A quick search pulls up this guy http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm310469.htm.

EDIT:
Oh, and I found the article I found back then http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm168830.htm

Extra strength Excedrin works great, but there's no way I'm taking acetaminophen when I plan to be drinking all night.

Ibuprofen did the job all right.  I'm still hurting but I'm improving.

[Lottel]

So I've had a rough few weeks. Personal shit, lady problems, finances, then I had a car wreck which only further exacerbated those problems.

But okay.  I can handle that. I've done it before.


But my right hand has been shaking for about three hours now and I'm beginning to get pissed.


Edit: of course, being a delivery driver means no car no work. No work no money. No money no car.

The other day, I get approached by a police officer on campus.  She says that several of my classmates in a class the day before heard me say "If I had a gun, I'd blow this campus up." or something like that and reported to the teacher who informed the campus police.  I said nothing that could've even been misheard as something like that.  I inform the officer of my side of the situation and how I'm a pacifist.  I may say some foot-in-mouth stupid shit on the internet every so often, but I don't do that shit in real life!

The thing is, the class that this occurred has more army-types (ROTC, veterans, etc.) than any other class I've taken and I am by far the least threatening person in the class.

I am going to yell at all of them next week.

[Mongrel]

Are you going to tell them you'll shoot them?

Also, man, no wonder you guys have trouble in wartime if your future non-coms think that handguns "blow stuff up".

[Catloaf]

Are you going to tell them you'll shoot them?

No.  Just...  No.

I'm merely going to rant loudly and make clear that I'm thoroughly offended by their slanderous accusations.  ...And maybe bring in cupcakes filled with laxatives, shaving cream, toothpaste, ipecac, and other gross things with clear labeling of "ONE of these contains <blank>" with the others all having something else horrible but mostly benign in them.

EDIT: Literally 30 seconds after posting this more police officers knocked on my door for a bit of a follow-up investigation in which I gladly obliged to let them search the mess that is Saturn's and my apartment for weapons to show my innocence.  Apparently, now It's not from just the other day but from over two weeks ago, and there was a specific quote of "lock and load," which I don't think I've ever said at all before quoting their quote to Saturn in disbelief.

Never consent to a search.

[Catloaf]

Never consent to a search.

Generally a good heuristic, but...

I literally had nothing to hide, and figure the more cooperative I am the faster I can get this whole thing behind me.  Also, they didn't find anything--rather they didn't plant anything to 'find' it later.  And I don't particularly care if they do end up arresting me, mostly because how ridiculous it'd be if they did.

They have no case against me, not only because I'm innocent, but because no one in the class is even sure about the others' names and it's based on hearsay that wasn't reported for  two weeks.  Also, I am the least threatening person in the class!  Being a pacifist, and all.

Oh sure, I'm angry, crazy, have no friends, hold a 'radical' political view, know too much trivial knowledge about guns (damn you, Gunsmith Cats!), play violent videogames, no job, a hatred of small children, and should probably stop listing how I fit the profile of a gunman immediately, but.... damn, where was I going with this?

[Büge]

You were going to tell us about the time you beat jury duty.
