The good news is this gets me out of having to dress up for work.:D

You hadn't posted such detail.

I deduct points, court commissioners deduct other things.

I had already qualified for all my other badges so I spent part of a morning out fishing, then represented with building fire to cook the bounty. At summer camp, I was the one who tended to finish each badge in a matter of hours then fished, built fires, and/or worked on woodcraft.

Back to the manuscript.

Not really - I'm much more creative and playful with words, and she tends to take :rolleyes:ffense. I explained the concept of litotes yesterday and she agreed I use them often.

LOL!;) As long as you can 'understand' each other -- that's what counts!^

I can't take Benadryl. BL JR won't take the Zyrtec generic from Wal Greens, but loves the Target one - go figure! I take xyzal, which is pricey but worth every penny!

Hey, my mom just sent BL JR a pic of me as a brownie; pretty sure you could find your cheeto fishing photos ;)

Congratulations on 18k.

By the time I left home, I was already prepared for depositions. :eek:

Are you allergic to Benadryl?:confused: What happens?

It's not called an allergy, it's called a reaction (what the difference is, I don't know but I have to note it separately on medical records). It wires me like crazy, drives up my bp and pulse and there is no way I can sleep, guessing it would be like taking a very strong stimulant and I break into a cold sweat. It also makes me feel like I have needles going into my head. I have to take liquid (children's) zyrtec if I have an allergic reaction. It's yummy :)

Things have definitely changed. I remember the badges being a bit harder. Now they get badges for going to the zoo, and going to get the hair/make-up done. Interesting.

I understand -- that's scary!:eek: Allergies are extreme reactions/sensitivities to things. It sounds like yours is an extreme unintended side effect!:eek::(:eek:
