In the first 10 minutes I was in the office I had to go yell at a manager for being a *******. It's going to be an interesting day.

Stopped taking. I don't like taking narcotics. Don't like the way they make me feel. I switched back to Ibu as fast as I could after the surgery. I've probably got half a bottle left.

Yeah...I know. I'm weird.
I don't like the way painkillers have made me feel either, especially Vicodin. I felt like the pain was still there but I was sort of detached from it and it was in somebody else's body. I know that's confusing but it was weird. Maybe it was more like the pain was in my body but my pain receptors were in my soul, slightly detached from reality.

Wut? when did they steal it from St. Paul? Or did it rotate thru tows and I just didn't realize it.
The St Paul Winter Carnival doesn't have an ice castle every year. I think I heard the last one they built was pretty expensive and the carnival was deeply in debt afterwards. Looking at it this year, it looks like ice castles are now built by a private company and they build a few different ones across the country. The last one we went to was in Bloomington a few years ago.

Not exactly sure.

They said theft was awful. They would warehouse the displays about this time each year and when they went back to get them out around Christmas they were always gone. Couldn't figure out who was stealing them each year.

Havent had to take them much, but I don't like the cloudy mind and being unable to drive anything. A lot of my job involves driving heavy price machinery actually (always a labeled thing along with if you're pregnant). So I'd rather take the pain than stare at the walls for a few days.

Yeah, I trust BDK. That would be a weak baiting attempt.


It's not like it'll kill you. I'd just be afraid of it being habit forming. So if you were always taking it, then you'd get to the point where you couldn't sleep without it.

Nyquil does make a sleep aide that is supposed to be non habit forming, but that is different than just using the cough syrup.
