I used to get some script, I forget what, but it was a tiny rear end $30 10mg tablet that dissolved under my tongue and got rid of a migraine in like 10 minutes. And I'm talking migraines where you lose your vision and throw up when any light enters your room.

Possibly a beta blocker or triptan (probably Rizatriptan?). Beta blockers are dirt cheap and pretty drat good at getting rid of migraines, but I can't think of any that are sublingual.

You know what else helps migraines? :350:

I feel like that was revealed a long time ago, I guess it was just speculation if they're still not fessing up though.

I didn't know about the truck seats, good to see some use came out of the technology.

There's a sonar system in the front bumper of the car to detect the road surface in front. I don't really see how that's a "reveal"...

The jump was definitely staged, it wouldn't do that by itself, but the picking up over speedbumps/concrete obstacles was normal.

It was I think 2004 that the Orlando show had that kinda weather. It had been dumping continuous rain the whole week leading up, and show night it was drizzling at about that temperature (with us in the nosebleeds, no less). Trucks couldn't get traction for poo poo and it was just generally awful.

Thats the tail end of a drive I've seen bikers come from fairly far away to do. The full thing starts in the inverness area, comes down through a state park, through an old part of brooksville thats nice to cruise through, then down along the coast to check out some salt flats and small fishing towns like aripeka. I'll drive this stretch sometimes just to get out and stretch my legs, its nothing exciting, but does make for a relaxing cruise.

Yeah I feel ya. I've had some really hosed up days recently.

I had a good solid lead for a startup company and then last week he dropped (I think accidentally) the "if we get the money" bomb on me. As in "Okay we're ready to make you an offer (if we get the money)".

He was calling me almost daily for the entire month of January, then I passed him a proposed budget and it's been 7 days of silence. I've been horribly sick so I haven't bothered calling him though.

I just got the insurance statement for the busted rear quarter panel and mirror etc. from when my car was hit while parked, back in December.

Turns out that a new quarter panel, mirror, paint, various parts and labor costs around $3,600 :stare:

Amusingly enough, they also ask me whether I would like to pay this myself, which would let me move into a cheaper bracket and save $150/year on my rates.

Uhhh, I think I'll just pay the deductible, and stay in my current bracket for another year, thankyouverymuch.

I don't usually get bad headaches, but I can't seem to kick this one. I've been home sick 3/4 of the week with sinus pressure/headaches/stomach cramps and I'm way down on energy. It's bad enough I don't trust myself driving except short trips. Anyone have any headache/migrane med suggestions? I usually only take Ibu as needed.

Ibuprofen does nothing for me (except work on muscle issues when used as an anti-inflammatory).

For headaches, the only OTC I've found that really does anything noticeable for me is "Extra Strength Excedrin", which is a combination of Acetaminophen 250mg, Aspirin 250mg, & Caffeine 65mg. Taking two helps my headaches. Generics of this are usually called "Migraine formula".

Luckily I rarely have headaches anymore since I've gotten my blood pressure under control.

Nthing excedrin (or the cheaper store brand) for migraines. Works great for me if I take it soon enough. I went through a bunch of different prescription meds with various side effects or high prices before finding that stuff.

Just be aware that most scrotes can open one up with a tin opener quicker than you can with a key. No big deal for an 800 quid motor, not so fun if is an 800 quid motor filled with all your tools.

Oh yeah for sure, just don't go around claiming that lacking money makes you a bad PERSON.

I gave up and deleted everyone involved once my medic and police cousins started jumping in with WHY DO YOU HATE COPS/MEDICS. Cause you know, $11/hr or whatever they make now is fine, but a4 dollar raise would be insulting because baristas would then make the same amount. Cause the reason you work those jobs is to feel SUPERIOR to other people, right?

All of the cops and emergency medical people on my Facebook were usually the only ones who were for the raises for fast food. I think they knew if fast food paid more they could strike and ask for more with a much bigger chance of getting it resolved sooner, and they weren't assholes about needing to get paid more than "burger flippers". I remember one girl, my wife's cousin, posted those stupid photos saying giving them raises while military are paid poo poo was horrible and offensive and I flipped out on her really quick. Having been in the military, and her sister is also in, I figured she would be smarter than that. I was wrong.

I missed my dad's side big family gathering this year cause I was sick, and I didn't really lose a moments sleep over it for that very reason. I still have friction with my dad from time to time but he's the most reasonable of the bunch, as in I actually enjoy spending time with him.
