I discovered that I really am allergic to Pseudoephedrine!

Hey that's the main ingredient in Meth. So I guess you're allergic to that too.

Next time one of the drug-addicts in the rehab class says that I should try ____. I'm just going to say I'm allergic.

Yeah, that's why it's been pulled off the store shelves, and I can't just say I'm allergic to "Sudafed" now since shelf-Sudafed doesn't even have any Pseudoephadrine in it.

I think it undergoes some kind of chemical change when it's made into meth, so who can say for sure if I'm allergic to meth? There must be some way I can find out.

I don't recommend trying meth to see if you are allergic to it. Meth is so addictive it has nearly a 100% addiction rate after 1 hit. Being addicted to something that you are also allergic to wouldn't be good. However, it could be the premise too a hillarious and/or tragic story.

"Have you violated the terms of your parole"?

"Uh, no, sir."

Ha!  I can't imagine that not knowing would be a problem....

A record breaking heat wave is coming and the air conditioner broke last week and the new air conditioner will not be installed for a few more days.  :'(

Our Internet has been out at home since Monday. So my husband called Comcast to schedule them to come out to fix it. They can't come till Wednesday. He gives them my cell phone number. Their policy is they have to reach you by phone to make sure you'll be home before they'll come. He doesn't tell me this.

They called twice; first time while I'm driving (I don't answer the phone while driving) and second time I didn't recognize the number. I feel dumb not answering now. Well, they cancel the service call because I didn't answer the phone. When I call to talk to them about it (five minutes after the second call!), they say they can't get anyone here till Friday.  So we have no internet for four days! (Unless there's a cancellation.)

I'm mad at my husband for giving them my number rather than his (because they might give his number out to spammers, after all  >:(; I'm mad at Comcast for having a stupid policy like that and for not being willing to make sure they get someone out today (it was bad enough waiting two days just to get an appointment. Esp. since the problem with the internet is on their end); and I'm mad at myself for being dumb enough to not answer the phone. ARGG.  >:(

Thank you. You are truly a beautiful person. The rest of you will burn for eternity for talking on your phone in the car.

Honestly, you're lucky. The office was without Internet for almost three weeks. Comcast was a bunch of wanks about it. But yeah, it's harsh.

I just spent the last three days at Conference. This conference was a massive estrogen-fest. I really do not want to hear anyone "shed healing tears" or "bare their souls" over a dance, song, artwork, play, book, poem, or movie for at least week.

So a kid rear ended my car on the highway at over 60mph this morning.  My car (which I bought brand new just a few months ago) is completely bagged up and I hurt.

Yes, he had insurance. Hopefully the insurance company will pay, but the company is still investigating.

When my car got side-rammed by someone who ran a red light, it took them months to go through arbitration. I assume the other driver's story was just removed from the truth, and her insurance company preferred to believe her. It came out in my favor eventually though.
