I don't have trouble swallowing pills with a bit of water, even when I'm taking five or six at once. But if I attempt to dry-swallow one and it gets stuck, I've found that eating bread tends to help get it down.

My parents had a pill shooter, which basically crammed the pill halfway down their throat. I just settle for holding mine's mouth shut and periodically squirting water into his mouth with a dropper and then cleaning up the cat-drool mess after.

Unlimited listening! That's fantastic! Now to see if they've fixed their android app yet so it doesn't cut to a new song halfway through the current one.

And Jafar is evil and Jasmine is 'exotic'.

Ugh... next time I fly (potentially next spring) I'm going to really work to make everything I need fit in a backpack. Or hope I'm not flying alone and can have a friend carry it. I can't use my hands at airports very well so if it's not on my shoulders, I have to check it.

I've been gaining weight recently, but staying the same on waistline or even fitting better in some of my jeans. I'm wondering if it's muscle, as I am getting stronger. (I've even had to undo the button on one of my blouse's sleeves because it no longer fit comfortably around my bicep) I've also cut sweets and soda

Okay, I can understand finding someone in the 17 range attractive. The line between adult and teenager can be blurry (I get mistaken for a highschooler and I'm 26) with some people's appearances. But if you know the person is under the age of consent... and you are an adult... SHOW SOME GODDAMN RESPECT and close

I never cared about what people wore to the Emmys until I started reading Jezebel. I love the commentary and I've learned to absolutely adore the dresses. Especially these. There are only a handful I don't like. For the most part, I just want to have a giant mirror and a closet full of all these dresses so I can

I wouldn't feel comfortable just yet. He's one of those guys that shuts down disagreements with him of any sort by not giving the person a chance to talk or turning it into a big joke. I think he's slated me as 'the girlfriend's weird roommate' too, as my disorder is a movement disorder and it makes me look really

I've been wanting to get this off my chest all week to people who will understand why I'm so appalled. The roommate's boyfriend has been making fairly good strides in acting normal around me - I think he's gotten past his initial uncomfortableness towards my disorder, which is awesome. But then he takes about a

I don't think you're being unreasonable at all - god forbid we all demand a world where people treat each other with respect! The horror! Anyway, I don't know much about that industry, but I do wish you the best of luck in your search. I left a very good job because the workplace was so intolerable and I found a

My grandparents have been doing this since before I was born. That is all.

So I've decided to self-publish something on the Kindle and the project has been a ton of fun - even if nothing comes of it, I've enjoyed working on it immensely. Since I'm not relying on this financially in any way, I can do whatever I want with it too. I've had some people asking about hardcopies or an ebook

That's pretty bad. All the really difficult professors I had were handled by pretty much living in their office hours. I would fall asleep outside in the hallway when I was working on particularly difficult projects waiting for my turn to ask questions because I was so tired. I just stuck with it, jumped through

Way back when I was in college one of the organizations I was part of got an e-mail. Someone's husband had died because he had a blood clot in the brain - he was in excellent shape and the only thing they could think of that would cause it is he had spent an excessive amount of time sitting in front of the computer.

Yanno, I was all concerned about how this would affect how we identify people on their government documents and such and how we really need to be accurate... then I realized that the people responsible for creating/enforcing these standards seem to think it's not going to be a problem, so I guess it's not going to be

Welp, sounds like booberday is in good company. Way to make a difference everyone!

This needs to be the new official name. I like it.

Well. Could have been a LOT worse. Though if I were them, I would have opened discussion with Nancy LONG before this point with a simple "you've got some concerns, let's talk and see if we can't understand each other's perspective before this turns into an unholy shit-storm." And then once you've worked things out

F+ sounds about right to me.
