And you've reminded me my Hospital Script will probably be ready at my local Chemist tomorrow.

I have a little weekly pill organizer and I had having to dip into the wrong day's section. Same went for my birth control pills, when I used to take them.

I have to get physical therapy for my back problems. I have no idea how this is gonna go.

sometimes I see familiar strangers in the city or around town and worry I'm in a "Truman Show" situation....

not in a serious paranoia kind of way but it does cross my mind, then I start wondering for fun.

I have a weekly pill thing....I really need to start using it. I bought 2 because it's cute and rainbow colored and stackable....and one of them is full of beads. The other is being ignored. I just can't get the hang of using it for some stupid reason.

I spend about an hour every sunday evening reloading my daughter's pillkeeper. it's... quite large. Two sections each day, AM and PM. Tums, Zofran, vitamin D, Lysine, and currently 6 diamox in the morning; Tums, Zofran, vitamin C, 6 more diamox, trazodone, amytriptaline, topimax, synthroid and birth control in three shifts (because of interactions) in the evening.

Vicodin and oxycontin as needed. Those and the fentanyl patches are kept in a safe upstairs.

I am constantly afraid that I've forgotten something. The organizer is more for me than it is for her!

We had one of those weekly pill things for our last dog when she was ill, the morning and evening compartments helped a lot with keeping organised, especially when some pills had to be cut up. Now my Mammy organises Da various blood pressure pills and such during the week and we both get very reminded of the dog when she's sorting them.

Does she bark during the sortation?

You don't know how weird it is to read that if you came into this thread straight from a discussion of sex.

You too?

In some thread or other, I mentioned flirting on line, from a Western Union office in Tarrytown NY with a secretary at Reichhold Chemical's hq in the same town, in 1956.
I was blown away a few years ago when I heard how old on-line romance really is. The excerpt from a novel was read on the program, along with some context. Here's what I listened to.

Oh my god Ankhtahr, your new avatar pic is super cute

I guess it's a reference to Doctor Who?

Ever been so hungry gas station hot dogs seemed like a good idea? Well I was. To my pleasant surprise the gas station near work had Nathan's Hot Dogs.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #3015 on:** 19 Sep 2013, 16:43 »

Yeah May I just saw today's comic and all of a sudden, my avatar changed as well!

cesium133 · « **Reply #3016 on:** 19 Sep 2013, 16:48 »

I decided to change mine a bit more frequently.

Welu · « **Reply #3017 on:** 19 Sep 2013, 16:49 »

I think my avatar counts as a crossover?

Jace · « **Reply #3018 on:** 19 Sep 2013, 17:10 »

I can't think of a better avatar than what I have.

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #3019 on:** 20 Sep 2013, 06:06 »

I am loving everyone's new avatars

It took me forever to switch from Mieville to the happy yelling baby squirrel, so it will probably take another forever to find a replacement for this little guy.

I've really been digging Nekowafers tumblr lately.

Thrillho · « **Reply #3021 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 16:00 »

I have no idea what to change mine to. I changed from a photo of my own smiling face to a gif of Vince Russo when I was plumbing some depressive depths and so a smiling me avatar seemed to be bitterly ironic. Occasionally I want to change mine but don't know what to.

I hate when people on here change avatars, because there are some people where their tone of voice and avatar is the only thing I identify them by and so the name passes me by.

Welu · « **Reply #3022 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 16:05 »

Honestly I think my avatar is adorable and it makes me smile each time I look at it.

Thrillho · « **Reply #3023 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 16:06 »

It is completely adorable and makes me smile too, it wasn't a comment on the quality of the avatars.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #3024 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 16:09 »

Random Thought: I'm pretty sure pwhodges avatar no longer changes. I've seen Marten playing the guitar five times in a row now.

Oh, I didn't think you were saying anything bad but I rarely get happy about things I draw so I was just saying.

Thrillho · « **Reply #3026 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 16:14 »

You drew that? That makes it twice as adorable.

Welu · « **Reply #3027 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 16:16 »

Thanks.

Aye, been drawing a bunch lately which is fun. Had artist block most of the summer.

It only changes when your browser decides to refresh; refresh manually and it will change on the spot.

Unfortunately for me, this isn't a delusion. I tend to spend a lot of my free time at home playing Minecraft lately, because I'm really well-known around town for hosting my weekly music nights (running on 3 years) and for my band. People I hardly know tell me all the time that they've spotted me around town somewhere, doing something with someone or other. It can be a little creepy, but I'm something of a minor public figure cause of the shit I do, and I'm not new to this kind of thing (recall back to 2009, when I participated on Albanian reality TV and got Actually Famous there for a brief while).

Despite being small-town famous here, I still don't know what makes me so damn interesting to watch as I go about my own business. It's fine though, I pick my nose in public and ~*~*~I DON'T GIVE NO FUCKS~*~*~

I suffer from a similar problem. On the other hand, due to reading the forum on my phone a lot, I can now tell some posters by their signatures and tone of voice. (The column with the name and avatar is not visible if I zoom in.)

ankhtahr · « **Reply #3032 on:** 22 Sep 2013, 01:20 »

I think changing the avatar once in a while is okay, but changing them all the time is confusing as hell. I got used to pwhodges, but now Cesium as well?

Masterpiece is doing it right. He changes his avatar, but always changes it to Dale. So my mind has now made a solid connection between Masterpiece and Dale. When somebody else uses a Dale avatar, or when I see Dale in the comic I'm confused.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #3033 on:** 22 Sep 2013, 01:26 »

Having said that, there are people that use Dale as their avatar, I changed mine because someone decided that it would be a good idea to have the same avatar as mine.

I am an adult who is fitting into my social role as rearer of children: Today a woman on the elevator was holding a child who couldn't have been more than 2. The child coughed and covered her mouth and I immediately praised her in that sing-songy voice one uses to speak at small children: "great job covering your mouth!"

Afterwards I thought, hey, that was kind of weird of me.

It takes a village?

Metope · « **Reply #3047 on:** 23 Sep 2013, 15:22 »

Nah, I think that's a good thing. The woman and kid both probably felt proud, and it's a good thing for people to know! Last week I was on a plane, and the woman next to me was obviously really sick and had a terrible, chesty cough, and she still didn't cover her mouth. I'm still waiting to see if I get sick, but it's been 5 days so I think I might be in the clear.
