Super "What Are You Thinking?" ReBirth

[Sakura Leic]

It's really sad that I get irritated by my dad simply because he never shuts up and always has to say something stupid to me.  I probably would be nicer to him if he would be quiet sometimes.  I can't ask him to remember things and not repeat himself since his meds kind of messed up his memory because, as I learned, doctors don't understand how to prescribe meds properly.  Good thing I'm good at blocking this stuff out.

Ah, the medication song and dance...  Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.  It took years, but I'm finally on a combination that actually works for me. 

Several years ago, not so much.  One medication interacted with another, and another caused side-effects that needed more medication to counteract...  I was taking a handful of pills each morning. 

Then, I decided to stop taking the medication that was causing heart problems and necessitating the need for heart medication.  Three pills down, three to go.  Stopped taking the mood stabilizer because it was causing seizures. 

Down to two pills, one in the morning and one at night.  I'm fine with that.

[Sakura Leic]

I don't even know how much my dad takes, but I think it's at least 5.

Medication is very much trial-and-error.  What works for one person may not work for another, some are more sensitive to side-effects (I often get the weirder and rarer side-effects), some develop tolerances, some medication isn't as effective on some people at the same or similar dosage as others (I metabolize sedatives really quickly and am resistant to them, so I usually need to be dosed double the amount), and other annoyances.  Basically, to find a combination or type that works best, it's best that you keep track of the side-effects and discuss them with the doctor.  Suggest trying alternative meds, various formulations.  There's a reason why we have so many different formulations of medication types; not everyone can take Prozac.

Barber messed up a bit on my beard. So, I went home and fixed it.

Crooked beard, no more.

[Sakura Leic]

Good thing about my abuela is that I don't have to worry about getting new shoes most of the time now.

[Police Girl]

Those assholes changed my schedule without any warning today.

2:30 was my start time but they changed it to 2:00 before I got here.

[Sakura Leic]

Man I suddenly have a lot of cash money than I know what to do with.

I'm trying to get into House of Cards; I really am. But politics bore me so much.

The show is so smart and intricate in its detail, perception and story-telling. Not to mention the awesome 4th wall breaking.

But I'm having a hard time getting hooked on it.

[Protoman Blues]

I love this commercial.

[Phi]

[tornado fang] YES JON BENJAMIN

[TheOnly]

Ewwww, its Monday tommorow...

[Dr. Wily II]

Slow day in office, slow day in here, and I have a headache.

Monday Blues ehh...

[Sakura Leic]

How many topics that show up here have the theme 'Why don't a lot of people like [insert thing here]'.

[Dr. Wily II]

Testing the water, I guess.

[Sakura Leic]

Testing the water, I guess.

I suppose so, still it's amazing how often a topic like that comes up.

[Quickman]

I see similar topics on TFN.  "Why do people like Jaxxon?"  "Why does LotF suck so much?"  "What the hell is up with the Chiss?"

[Dr. Wily II]

It's a simple enough convo starter, so... Yeah.

[Sakura Leic]

It's a simple enough convo starter, so... Yeah.

The problem I have with it is that most of them have the same simple answer, 'opinions'.

[Reaperoid]

"What the hell is up with the Chiss?"

Wow. Someone doesn't know how awesome Chiss are, by the sound of it.

[Sakura Leic]

Wow. Someone doesn't know how awesome Chiss are, by the sound of it.

I wouldn't know since I'm not really into Star Wars.

[Quickman]

The ones on TFN are the same, such as the Jaxxon example.  Yes, Jaxxon is a big, green space rabbit.  Yes, he's absurd.  People like him because he's absurd.  He doesn't need to be retconned into a Cathar, which is more catlike than rabbit.  Some science can be thrown in to explain the green fur (algea), and Jaxxon is an ass-kicker who kicks ass despite looking like Bucky O'Hare.

[Sakura Leic]

Sounds freaking adorable to me.

[Quickman]

Jaxxon is awesome.  He ain't no rodent.

[Protoman Blues]

Why don't a lot of people like the why don't a lot of people like the [insert topic] topic?
