    No, the other way.. the OTHER way!

  2. btw, i read today that even masks can’t hold swine flu..

    • It’s finally reached the small town west of me. Kind of freaky when it hits small towns.

        You mean Real America?

                I can let you borrow one, but be careful, it’s my last one.

                • Malicite says:

                  Swine flu is everywhere… I feed my own hysteria by going to my clickie every Friday. At this point, people without pre-existing health problems are kicking the bucket, and I bet some are my age. *breaks out his SARS mask*

                  • Ms B ♥ says:

                    Do they do a comparison on the percentage of flu to flu death cases and H1N1 to H1N1 death cases? Is is about the same death rate compared to the regular flu?

                    • Avis says:

                      Lower, I think.

                      • Ms B ♥ says:

                        Then why is everyone so freaked out? I’m sorry, but I’m not that scared, and Utah has the highest cases of the virus in the nation. Practice good hygiene and you should be ok.

                        • Malicite says:

                          Wisconsin has the most :/

                          People are freaked out because of what comes later this year. Personally, I hate the flu no matter what animal it comes from. If I could wear a SARS mask from Nov – May without getting the “insane guy” look, then I would. People are dirty… public transit is dirtier and getting sick sucks. *is happy he doesn’t have any germ factories also known as children…*

                        • Jules ♂ ♪ © says:

                          I agree

                          “The United States has roughly half the world’s swine flu cases, with nearly 28,000 reported to the CDC so far. The U.S. count includes 3,065 hospitalizations and 127 deaths.

                          The percentage of cases hospitalized has been growing, but that may be due to closer scrutiny of very sick patients. It takes about three days from the time symptoms appear to hospitalization, Finelli said, and the average hospital stay has been three days.

                          Other health problems have been a factor in most cases: About one in three of the hospitalized cases had asthma, 16 percent diabetes, 12 percent have immune system problems and 11 percent chronic heart disease.

                          The numbers again highlight how the young seem to be particularly at risk of catching the new virus. But data also show that the flu has been more dangerous to adults who catch it.

                          The average age of swine flu patients is 12, the average age for hospitalized patients is 20, and for people who died, it was 37. It seems to be deadliest to people 65 and older, with deaths in more than 2 percent of elderly people infected, Finelli said.”

                          People are so freaked out because it’s one part human influenza, one part swine influenza and two parts bird influenza. People realize this means two things:
                          1. It was one hell of an orgy.
                          2. They weren’t invited.

                        • Malicite says:

                          Nice Zombie! *laughs loudly*

                        • Avis says:

                          But, see, we’ve always known that one day a flu virus would mutate into something we can’t cure. The huge epidemic from several decades ago taught us that. I still think that the hype about this is a distraction.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          In all honesty, we never could “cure” any flu – we could vaccinate against a couple of strains, but our real defense against it is being able to reduce fevers. I swear, every time I begin to be impressed by modern medicine, I take a look at our natural immune system and am blown away.

                        • Solanum is the one you need to watch out for, but they don’t want you to know about it. They created “swine flu” to distract people from the real danger! Ask Zombie, we don’t need to worry about any disease that kills people for good! When the victims start getting back up is when we need to be scared!! (Don’t ask who “they” are, conspiracy theorists hate that.)

                        • Avis says:

                          Don’t get me wrong here, I don’t think this swine flu was created to be a distraction. I think it’s being used to create a distraction. From what I have no idea. But really, all this hype over a flu? It seems unfounded to me.

                        • Malicite says:

                          Not to get off topic, but zombies are my biggest fear. Thought you should know that.

                        • Mine too, hence the fully stocked compound in the Alaskan wilderness. I feel a little silly now though, since the Zombie Apocalypse happened earlier and didn’t even get me out of work.

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          A zombie apocalypse happened. What, you thought there would only be one? Silly living person!
                          :twisted:

                        • Malicite says:

                          As a fun fact, on April Fools a few years ago, the BBC released a story suggesting that a mosquito spread virus was killing people in Africa. One of the side effects? The person rose from the dead and grew violent. Scared. Me. To. Death.

                          On another side note, I always fall for something on April Fools.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          This year I couldn’t believe that the story about the beauty pageant winner visiting Guantanamo and describing her trip as “a great time” was real news. It took about three days before I’d believe it wasn’t a hoax.

                        • I guess I’ll be keeping the compound stocked then. Mal, would you like directions and a copy of the zombie apocalypse survival plan? I can trust you not to reveal the location to ZA right?

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          You know, if you think about it for a moment I’m not sure you’d want to survive the zombie apocalypse. So you’re alive … and surrounded by the living dead. What now?
                          :twisted:

                        • Blog Ninja (Blog Monster) ♂ says:

                          I'll end the apocalypse by myself!

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          *zips in*

                          Actually, there are very well documented reasons for being afraid of a flu epidemic. In 1918, a flu pandemic killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide. In the 50s there was another flu pandemic that killed over 2 million.

                          *zips back out*

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Also, humans have no immunity to this novel strain. Now that there is a pandemic, humans are acting as laboratories where new human-transmissible strains will develop. What’s circulating now isn’t the major concern…a much more threatening strain might emerge.

                        • A former troll says:

                          Just don’t kiss pigs. If you do, you’re at risk of contracting Swine Flu and AIDS.
                          *Excuse me if the bold doesn’t work.*

                    • Malicite says:

                      I’m not sure there is just a normal flu. My impression is that the “regular flu” consists of a number of different strains and the normal death/infection numbers reflect their combined damage. So, to answer your question… no idea, but they have been saying that this is a mild flu.

                      • The “regular flu” is simply Influenza B. It only attacks the lining of the upper respiratory tract. The danger of these other flu strains is their ability to cause lower respiratory problems much more effectively. It isn’t the flu that kills most people, it’s the bronchitis and pneumonia which results.

                        • Twisted only man able to dissappear for long periods of time and reappear without anyone noticing says:

                          way to ruin my ignorance on the subject

                        • Brewski says:

                          Look everybody, Twisted is back!
                          You have a surgical precision. Post-and-vanish.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Both influenza A and influenza B strains circulate every year causing what we know as “flu”.

                      That reminds me of when the band ‘Widespread Panic’ came to our local venue for the 1st time. He he. People were starting all kinds of rumors for the reasons that people were panicing that night. “Oh my, dear you hear? Something bad happened at the concert tonight, I heard them on the radio saying there was panic. I hope no one got hurt. So scary”

                          Just letting you know that I prefer 1% MF. This isn’t going to be a problem is it?

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Hmmm… I guess not. I’m more of a 2% kinda girl, but I guess I should watch the waistline, so 1% will do.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          I actually find that at first going down the MF scale the lesser fat ones tasted waterier. I tasted 2% after a while of drinking 1% and I swear I could taste the fat difference. It was a putrid feeling.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          I agree about watery. I can’t stand skim or non-fat milk. There’s nothing to it! I don’t mind a bit of fat content. It’s not a bad fat, so as long as I work it off, it’s all good. :)

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Looks like we can’t help being theoretical today. I appreciate the idea of being able to enjoy a non-fat milk but in the end there is no substance. Got to have something worth drinking, or else I would just flavo(u)r my water. In the end I would like to hover around the 1% mark. Dabbling in skim like a craving rather than daily.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          It also definitely has something to do with what you are raised with. My mom always bought 2%, so that’s just what I’m conditioned to think milk is supposed to taste like. Anything else just tastes wrong. I’m rather particular though.

                          Originally my mom brought me up on 2% after my fathers heart attack, she regimented him and by association us. So we all love 1% and can’t stand anything higher.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Ahh. Well, good on her for forcing everyone into line! It can be so frustrating to try to regulate the healthy intake of other people. They fight you the whole way, even knowing that it’s for their own good.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Can’t fight her, she breaks the sound breaks the sound barrier with her yells. Oxymoron I know but still. That and she does all the groceries. Aside from that I enjoy eating healthy.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          “Does” being an indicator that you are still under her dietary influence and likely roof? :P

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Well I could buy my own, just storing it in my room would be awkward. I have one year left of school then plan to work and move out. :) Being 20->21 rocks.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Indeedy. I’m more in the 22 to 25 range, but it still rocks.
                          I moved out as soon as I possibly could, at 17, I think. I have younger siblings that were still living at home, and therefore couldn’t wait to be in my own place with my own space.
                          What kind of schooling?

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          In college currently, will take more than a number to make me shy away. :) Taking computer and video game programming currently.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Not sure about the number statement, but neat!
                          My ex was taking a computer programming course. It was relatively interesting. I dabble in programming, but I’m better with a sautering iron and PCB. Just a hardware kinda gal. (No innuendo intended. :P )

                        • Avis says:

                          BOTH of you are crazy! Whole milk all the way!!
                          Yeah, even my mother thinks I’m strange.
                          Speaking of which…. *goes off in search of real milk*

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Whole milk is way too thick for my taste. I haven’t had much experience with it, but what I have had was unappetizing. Except in cereal. Then it’s all good. :)

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Well in this situation you need my software for your hardware. In another you need my hardware for your software. (Number comment explained ^^)

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Homogeneous milk doesn’t taste that good. Like I said if I can taste the fat difference in 2%, !magining more is a scary thought.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Perhaps I missed something. It’s getting late and I’m not entirely as sharp as usual. Where is the number thing explained, and was the hardware-software comment from a programming point of view, or was it meant metaphorically?

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          It is all a dating (time, day, month, year) thing. Basically you being older is not intimidating.

                          The first part of the hardware comment serious.
                          Second part metaphoric which reflected upon the age comment. A loose connection that I wanted to tie up.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Loose connection could be caused by a cold solder.
                          *Arches eyebrow*
                          And you should be intimidated. Not by age. Just by me. :P

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          How could I be intimidated, when I am so drawn in? Plus you wouldn’t hurt me purposely would you?
                          *Puppydog eyes*

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Is it strange that when I hear “You wouldn’t hurt me”, it sounds more like a challenge than a plea? The innocent puppy-eyed ones squirm the best.

                      It’s an exhausting procedure. Back and forth, back and forth. Scan this, click that… Phew!
                      ;)

                      • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                        Problem is it is a constrictive process. Very tight and little room for error. One mistake and the whole thing can blow up in your face. Worst part is having product that you didn’t intend to get left in your receiving doc. I know of a few companies that have some distributors that insist on putting their product in the wrong door. They are clearly labeled after all.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Yes. Even though we have a standing request with the shipping companies for ‘No Back Door Deliveries’, they still feel it necessary to knock once in a while, and I then have to instruct them back around front.
                          I find, at least, that it is an easier process when I have the prerogative to complete the task on my own. I find when others attempt to assist, they inevitably wind up getting in the way. I have a system!

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Well at least the deliveries and deliverers always come on time correct? I used to be called the milk man since I always delivered. I find that receiving in the front could get a bit ugly. Making face time for the people and their product is always more of a hassle than the benefits they present.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Actually, I find I’m a little preemptive when doing my ordering. I always need more product from the supplier when the delivery arrives, and have to do without until the next shipment can be arranged, which always takes some time.
                          However, I do find I get better attention from people supplying product if I do make a little face-time for them. They appreciate the effort.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Well you have your preferences for how you manage your incoming packages.
                          Do you make the delivery person sign in. Do you track how long they remain in your receiving end? I could always bring you a good product. Takes a while to unload but hey the product is worth it. After that first delivery I bet we can make it a weekly/daily occurrence. I am sure we both will be satisfied with the others great servicing abilities.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Oooh! I thought this was a theoretical discussion. It sounds more like you’re offering to make deliveries, yourself! As long as you’re always prompt, and you try not to track anything in when you make your drop-offs, I think we can work something out. I don’t mind a bit of an extensive unloading process, as long as the end result is satisfactory.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          It is theoretical, until my deliveries get the green light. That is when I know I am in good enough to start unloading.

                          Back to the theoretical side. So you make sure that the deliverer is the real deal and do you make sure to id them on the way in? Have you ever had someone claim to deliver one product that sounded like a great idea but then flop on that actual date and time of delivery?

                          ID, no. I always make sure to be on a first-name basis with any and all deliverers. It smooths the process along, and avoids any mishaps.
                          I don’t think I’ve ever had a truly faulty delivery made. Perhaps the wrong product, or they delivered to the back instead of the front, or forcefully knocked instead of politely ringing the bell to gain entry…
                          Oh, there was one delivery fiasco that was a total failure from the start. Complete flop. Needless to say, I no longer ship with them.

                          I have to admit, I have never had a delivery go awry. Now what is your opinion on third party deliveries? When both the company and their supplier make a delivery on the same day? Do you allow them then to use both front and back so as to not congest your receiving capabilities?
                          Would you suggest they wait their turns?

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Hmm… While I’ve never had this issue come up, it’s one I’ve debated the solution to… I suppose the best option to satisfy everyone would be allow them to use both the front and back, and hope that there is room for them both to deliver without seriously comprimising my own ability to carry on business as usual. Would you expect this to be an issue if you were contracted to make deliveries?
                          I applaud the effort that must go into never having made a poor delivery. It certainly takes a measure of skill and natural ability to provide such reliable service.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          If I was contracted to make the delivery and another deliverer was there. Well I am all for comparative shopping but well that is taking it too far. At the beginning of the contract I make the promise to provide you with the best service, best product and to always take my time but still be prompt. So having another delivery come in, in the same dock where I have put my deliveries thousands of times before. Well that is unacceptable and I would have to terminate any future deliveries with you. Now any other random receiving place I would have no problem with a simultaneous delivery. One that I have a long term contract with, its not acceptable. You are just cheating me out of my share of the delivery schedule.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          For someone who always delivers on time and with good results, I have no issue committing all my business to on deliverer. Providing they’re not servicing my competitors as well, of course. That’s just something I can’t abide.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          You jumped my gun. :) So you do not like a delivery made to you after the deliverer just came(.) from another competitors receiving end? I find that one on one deliverer and receiver relationships are always best for both parties. It provides a guaranteed delivery schedule and safety net to ensure the product and receiving are always good. It also ensure trust can be built between both companies.

                          Now what about deliveries made not in receiving or in the back, but in through the rooftop door?

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          As long as one is gentle with the shipment, and avoids damaging the premises, I see no issue with deliveries up top. One must occasionally trust the shipper’s judgement on how things are best gone about, especially with a legitimate concern about the practicality of delivery in the front or back. As long, of course, as the deliverer is willing to reciprocate by occasionally adressing my concerns.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          I usually put the receivers concerns first. It is important to have a happy receiver or else future deliveries can be put in jeopardy. Not that the delivery is all that is all about. The relationship between deliverer and receiver is more important. Aside from that the strongest muscle isn’t used just for swallowing. It has other purposes, like rectifying underlying issues, by discussing of course.

                          Tending to the receivers needs is often fun for the deliverer.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          That’s very considerate of you. A reciever must be careful, you know. Many deliverers are callous and tend to drop the package wherever they please as soon as possible and leave, leaving the reciever to clean up the mess. It’s unfortunate, but causes many recievers to simply pick up the shipments themselves.
                          I agree that it is most important to discuss any issues between deliverer and deliveree in order to keep the shipments moving smoothly and frequently.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          The job is sometimes just a perilous for the deliverer. Having a receiver close the receiving end for one week every month. Making the deliverer consider other entrances. Sometime the receiver just plain old denies the whole delivery for what seems an unrelated event or discussion in the contract/relationship between deliverer and receiver. Then there are other times when the deliverer can’t muster up the courage to ask the receiver for a special delivery method. Changing position of where the delivery is to be made or the manner in which it should be made can add stress on the package and put it in awkward positions. Then there is the issue of the premature delivery. (Not an issue for an experienced deliverer, but sometimes the new ones get anxious).

                        • Avis says:

                          Can I just say that this has got to be one of the most round about conversations I’ve ever witnessed? And If the receiver is cutting off the acceptance of deliveries one week a month, the receiver is still learning.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Thus is the purpose of an open-ended contract. One must always keep the lines of communication open. For example, if the reciever starts getting less and less frequent deliveries, they may begin to believe that they are no longer an important client on the deliverer’s schedule, when this may not be the case. Conversely, if a reciever begins refusing deliveries, the deliverer could begin to assume the shipments are no longer desired, and begin dropping them off elsewhere. Communication is key in the delivery business.
                          A closed recieving bay wouldn’t stop a particularly creative and ambitious deliverer from dropping off his shipment. One must simply explore alternative methods for drop-off.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Avis, is round about a good thing or bad? I do hope we haven’t exploded the innuendo machine or imploded the back-up vortex. Someone will just have to deliver a new one if we have!

                        • Avis says:

                          The innuendo machine and the vortex are having issues at this point, I think.
                          Just how many times can something be said without saying it?

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Wait! It is not necessary to close the business once a month? This I must hear more about Avis. Creativity abound sometimes the regular receiving end is desired. This may cause the deliverer to play with the package instead of delivering it. Roundabout conversations are regular with me Avis. Well at least IRL. At my old work in the restaurant whenever a good looking woman would come in the door us guy workers used to get flack for talking about them. So in order not to peeve off our female co-workers we devised a code way of doing it. A roundabout way of complimenting her. We would find an object near her and use it to alert others of her presence.
                          Ie A pretty girl walked in and was seated at table 5 lets say. Well table 5 has a lamp near it. To spread the message of her presence we would ask other male workers when we got this new lamp. Then we would make the off hand comments like. That lamp must be a snake lamp with the curves it displays. Etc etc of course.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          @Chan, now what do you do in the time when no deliveries are available. I know that when deliveries get backed up frustration is about and moods most often aren’t pleasant. Getting rid of packages by hand can help vent away some displeasure.

                          @Avis: Fine I’ll break. Screw the banter let’s have s e x and be done with. (Not as fun though)

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          … There is a time when no deliveries are available?

                        • Avis says:

                          Sweets, it depends on what exactly you are attempting to deliver. The shop need not close up once a month. Creativity is not all that necessary, but rather an understanding.
                          My friends and I have a habit of assigning nicknames to people and not telling them so we can have an entire conversation and no one knows who we are talking about. The trick is to remember who is who.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          And to heck with direct! I enjoy the naughty innuendo-filled banter.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          @Chan 8| 8) The moment after a delivery is made there is a buffer/waiting period before the next one can come.
                          That and if there is a lack of deliverers in the area.

                          @Avis I swear I go rosy cheeked every time you call me sweets. I get embarrassed so easily by endearing terms from beautiful older women. Well older women in general.
                          Oh an I understand the need for a open contract. The delivery is but one action that can be performed and above will clarify if there is any doubt. Though it doesn’t hurt to visit your receiver just to hang out and make sure all is on the up and up. :)

                        • Avis says:

                          Emp? I think maybe this conversation was too ’round about. Waaaaaaaaaaay too ’round about!!!!

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Wait a minute? Did you think I wasn’t being direct. Here I am thinking I am discussing a delivery and receiving system with Chanidividus and now things seem to be being inferred. Hmm something is not right. Also this doesn’t ^ sound right

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Indeed… I see nothing wrong with discussing theoretical shipping concepts… :P

      I hope you feel better soon, nightshayde.

      Night!

      *Drive-by squeeze*

    • Avis says:

      Can I just say that having to take meds every 6 freaking hours is no fun? I have to wake up at 2 freaking am and take one little pill (it’s Tiffany’s blue, so pretty) and then I can’t lay down for a half hour. Grrrrrrrrrr. Antibiotics suck!

      • Admiral Apparent says:

        Wake up at 2 AM? ;-)

        • Avis says:

          I do plan on getting some sleep at some time! ;)
          I had an emergency doctors visit this morning for what was either a massive spider bite (gone bad) or what my mother thought was ringworm. As it turns out, it was neither. It was a very unhappy hair follicle. That requires medication. Lucky me.

          • Bearly Awake says:

            Sorry about the antibiotics, but that seems like the least worrisome of the possibilities. At least there aren’t things in your home or anything like that. Are you off to get some sleep soon, then?

            • Avis says:

              Of all the possibilities, this is the least troubling. On our list were: Spider bite (venomous), ringworm (Moms vote), exploded tumor (happened before), or cyst (also unhappy). The actual answer wasn’t even on our radar.
              I guess I didn’t mention the enormous swelling of the lymph nodes directly below the inflamed area did I? That’s why I made the appointment!

          • Chanidividus says:

            Awww… That’s unfortunate. At least it was just an unhappy hair follicle though, and not something more serious?
            *Squeeze*

          • Dragonwriter says:

            …Sleep???

            *blank look*

            Sorry to hear about your grumpy hair follicle, though. I hope it improves soon.

            • Avis says:

              Grumpy is a better description. Angry works too. As does really freaking pissed off.
              The pills are such a pretty blue though. I must be weird, the color of my meds makes an impact on me.

              • Ms B ♥ says:

                A spoon-full of pretty helps the medicine go down!

                • Avis says:

                  You’d be amazed how much it does!!! The meds really are the perfect Tiffany’s blue! I checked! (My folks gave me a Christmas ornament from the store a few years back, and I still have the box)
                  Pretty helps a lot of things.

                  • coyote says:

                    All of mine are ugly to the bone, and big. I have a thing about swallowing pills.

                    • Admiral Apparent says:

                      Is it a straw? :-)

                      Howdy, coyote.

                    • Avis says:

                      COYOTE!!!!!! Hey man, how are you!?

                      • coyote says:

                        Getting better all of the time Avis. I am almost ready to be done with Fred Hutch, but there is friction about my hydration levels. They want me to drink three damn liters a day! I drank two yesterday and got sick. I foresee a head butting session coming up.

                        I shouldn’t worry about the disgruntled hair situation if I were you. I am sure that it will be hair today and gone tomorrow.

                    • Dragonwriter says:

                      *squeeze*

                      Good to see you, coyote.

                      • coyote says:

                        Good to see you all as well. Is the heat as bad back there as we’ve been hearing? It has managed to get up to the upper seventies around here. The hottest yet! WOOHOO!

                    • Jennyisbusy says:

                      I can’t take pills with water. The bigger they are the thicker the drink needs to be.
                      Oh and sometimes I swallow a bite of a food I like to get my throat in a swallowing mood :)

                      • coyote says:

                        I need to bribe myself, before and after, with M&M’s. One, like you, before the pills and two after each pill for a reward.

                        • Jennyisbusy says:

                          :) M&M’s qualify as food I like. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one out there doing this.
                          My hubster can swallow 3 pills at a time with no liquid, it is a weird thing to be jealous of, but I am.

                        • coyote says:

                          My grandfather had the same talent. Dad required a small amount of water. I require a major Broadway production.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          I picture you taking some cartoon-inspired approach to getting those pills down.

                          *squeeze*

                        • coyote says:

                          I assure you that it is more tragedy than comedy. You do not wish to know what life was like before the M&Ms.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Speaking as someone who takes between 8 and 18 pills per day, depending on what day of the week it is, please allow me to join in the general whining, even though I have no physical problems with taking pills. All my problems are purely psychological.

                          I just. Hate. Doing. It.

                        • coyote says:

                          Between 8 and 18? There is no way in hell I could do that. I’m dead serious. I’m sure that dead is the operative word there. I would be doomed.

                        • Jennyisbusy ☻ says:

                          18 x 3 M&Ms =54 M&Ms a day That’s doable I suppose. If that got boring maybe I could wrap it in a piece cheese like we used to do for the dog. :D

                      • Avis says:

                        I have daily meds that require me to take three pills a day. Plus a vitamin. I take all of them at once and have no problems. I’m kinda used to taking pills. It helps to take them with a carbonated beverage. My doc suggested that. The thing I dislike about the new (temporary) med is that I have to take one every six hours!!!

      • Ms B ♥ says:

        Sorry to hear that!

        *squeeze*

        What are the antibiotics for?

        • Avis says:

          See my response to the Admiral. I’m taking clindamycin (or at least I think that’s how it’s spelled). Every six hours. It’s a pretty blue, but I’ve heard stories about the stuff that makes me wary.
