Mind if I complain for a minute?

[LeftyMom]

Too bad, I'm going to do it anyhow.

I can't breathe. My allergies have my nose stopped up, my throat is tore up from postnasal drip and my eyes were watering for days before I filled my house with smoke. On top of all of that, I've got cramps, my back is killing me, I'm hot and my feet are hurting.

I'm broke. I still haven't got my car over to the shop, and school starts tuesday. I need time off, not 15 units of additional responsibility.

Oh, and I'm out of fucking beer. :cry:

[huskerlaw]

1. ...

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

15. Thanks

:hug:

[ZombieNixon]

2. No...beer?

:cry:

[LeftyMom]

13. That's what I said.

:cry:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. I know the feeling.

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

12. Thanks.

:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

4. Awwww...I'm sorry.

Girly-poo's and #1 son's allergies are acting up, too. It's miserable, I know.

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

11. I wish I could take something for it.

:(

Hope they feel better soon.

[reyd reid reed]

23. You can't take Anything?

:pals:

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

24. If there's a animal-product free OTC allergy med, I haven't found it.

:(

[reyd reid reed]

26. Well, phooey.

I never think of those things as having animal products.

:(

[flvegan]

27. I don't think there's anything

in a generic pseudoephendrine HCL, nor a generic "Benadryl" that would come from animals. I think it's all chemical (the name brands having been likely tested on animals, the generics would not have been, I don't believe).

I could, as I have been in the past, be wrong.

[LeftyMom]

28. I can't take something that will knock my ass out though, on account of LK

I'll go check the store again.

[flvegan]

30. If pseuoephedrine knocks you out...

that's just messed up. Generic Sudafed will help clear you up, but a generic diphenhydramine (sp?) WITH the pseudoephedrine should help the histamine suppression, while not being a downer. Find the generic benedryl non-drowsy formula.

[LeftyMom]

32. Oh, the non-drowsy stuff gets me waaaaaaaaaaaay off in tweaker mode

But the house is a mess, so that might not be a bad thing. :shrug:

[flvegan]

37. Considering your weight = that of a 12 year old boy, maybe the dosage

might be more along the lines of the children "up to age 12" stated on the bottle, hmm, yes?

That aside, would you rather tweak or doze while LK runs amok?

[LeftyMom]

38. Tweaking would be about the right speed.

I weigh 129 lbs, if the doctor's office scale is to believed. I'd be a rather pudgy twelve year old.

[Gormy Cuss]

35. Take a kid's dose if possible

I over react to most OTCs for cold and allergy symptoms but I have found that taking the kiddie formula provides some relief without turning me into a zombie.

My allergies were kicked up this week too and I'm not happy about it either.
Buy you a beer?:beer:

[LeftyMom]

36. Oh thank you!

:beer:

[Redstone]

5. Damn, I'd send you a six-pack, but it wouldn't get there until tomorrow.

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

8. I think I can scrounge up the cash for some.

I just want to make sure I have enough set aside for any last minute school crap I need.

[Redstone]

14. Hell with school. LK can borrow a pencil or two.

Priorities, remember?

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

16. My school. I'm going back to get my degree eventually.

LK doesn't go to school. :)

[Redstone]

20. Well, then YOU can borrow a pencil or two.

Redstone

[Guava Jelly]

6. Sorry lefty mom

:hug:
wish i could email you a brewski

[LeftyMom]

9. I probably shouldn't have any anyhow.

My stomach is already in rebellion from the damned postnasal drip.

[Sugar Smack]

7. Me too, cramps. Will you watch Goodfellas with haruka & me?

You can open your nose with some mango tea, dear! And I'll give you some beer and popcorn. And a hug, and not ask for anything in return. :hug:

[LeftyMom]

10. LeftyKid killed our TV.

I think I have some tea around here someplace though. I'll go look in the little freestanding cupboard where we hide all the "weird healthy food" since my sister is afraid vegness is contagious or something. :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. My mom used to think I was going to give my sister "the gay."

How did LeftyKid kill a tv? Even I couldn't have managed that.

[LeftyMom]

19. He was trying to help clean

He sprayed a ton of Method all-purpose cleaner on it and some dripped inside and fried a board.

[Haole Girl]

18. OMG! I could handle it right up to the no beer part!

Seriously, hope things get better soon! :hug:

[LeftyMom]

21. Maybe soon.

I'm waiting on good news. If it turns out I doubt I'll remember this crap.

[LeftyMom]

22. Ugh, now the kid is crying over nothing.

Fuck. I just can't win.

[Random_Australian]

25. Aww! LeftyMom! Don't worry, if you can put up with all this happening,

then you are sure to get a great kid as a payoff, but for the time bieng, perhaps some hugs would be in order:

(Sorry that they are over the internet, but that is the best I can do from here)

[ComerPerro]

29. damn. Someone get this lady a beer.

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

33. I'll look for something good at the drugstore

Since flvegan was kind enough to clue me in on some allergy stuff I can probably take I'll have to run over there anyhow. :)

[deadparrot]

31. Can you complain?

Only if I can join you. x(

:banghead:

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

34. Go right ahead, there's bandwidth for everybody

:hug:

[ThomCat]

39. I wish I could be there to commiserate with you.

I'd bring beer.

Thinks are a lot like that here too. :(

[LeftyMom]

41. Well, you have worse health stuff than hay fever

:hug:

Tell you what, you bring beer and I'll make something good to eat. Deal?

[ThomCat]

43. Deal!

:hug:

[Nicole]

40. Sorry you're feeling so bad

I hope tomorrow's better. :grouphug:

[LeftyMom]

42. It should be.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but things should look up soon.

[Nicole]

44. Good thoughts coming your way n/t
