6 years ago today, I got married.

The difference between now and then is mind blowing. I think I might be the happiest divorcee alive. I am so fortunate.

Happy Anniversary!

My best friend called me at 8am, and screamed in my ear ā€œHappy NON-Anniversary!ā€

I’m a pretty damn happy divorcee so you might have some competition there.

My phone likes to helpfully call random people at random times, sometimes as helpfully as 4 or 5 AM.

My front brakes are beginning to squeal on my car and I’ve been planning to change the pads. Today was really nice, so I picked up the pads when I was out doing some errands. I have all the tools ready, and found a very detailed description about how to do the job.

As soon as I got home it started raining. :-(

They gave me hydrocodone for my wisdom teeth, and I’ve never taken a prescription painkiller; I’m rather leery of doing so. It’s tempting to take it before bed to help ensure that I won’t wake up in pain, but so far I haven’t. Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

I look forward to the day when Afghanis can vote in an election without every news agency in the world plastering the wires with photos of their purple-inked fingers. It’s getting a bit cliche.

Never drink alcohol with painkillers (or mix them with anything else without consulting your doctor, for that matter). Anyways, once they start wearing off you will get super itchy all over your entire body. It might feel satisfying to rake your skin off with a loofah, but don’t do it. They will also make you extremely constipated, so eat some bran flakes. Some formulations of hydrocodone include caffeine, so read the label.

Weirdest advice I’ve ever seen on these boards, but thanks just the same.

Anyone ever use Internet based voice journal? Does such a site exist? Just figured out how to do one.

Edit: I searched and couldn’t fund anything. Certainly I’m not the first one to think if this.

I’ve taken more than my fair share of hydrocodone between wisdom teeth, a rotated cervical disk, and lady things.

They can be really dehydrating and constipating as mentioned before. Drink a lot of fluids before/after taking it and put lotion on before you take it, and later on if you remember.

Whatever you have probably already has acetaminophen mixed in. Don’t take anything else with acetaminophen in it as long as you are taking hydrocodone. Also, if you take it and still feel pain or maybe you just love the totally fuzzy, cozy high, don’t take another with it until it’s time for another one. It’ll feel like you got kicked in the liver and your body will hate you.

On the subject of prescription drugs, yesterday I learned that if you take hydrocodone and cyclobenzaprine at the same time, your voice sounds like it’s being pumped in over an intercom system and your eyes are way faster than your brain. Do not recommend. I can move my neck again though, so whatever.

How the hell did Hunter get away with the ā€œFred Dryer bulge?ā€ And why arn’t there more pictures of said bulge.

Will you please stop being so gay for one second Scrax.

Family resemblance?

my dentist informed me the new cap on my tooth is made of Zirconium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

On a side note, its hurting like a mutha now that the anesthetic has worn off, will advil or tylenol or other over the counter pain meds work to numb that pain?

Advil, 2-3 every four hours, has done a great job keeping my wife’s wisdom-tooth-recovery pain at bay. It even worked when she woke up in the middle of the night with it throbbing.

random!
