Now I'm triggered.
Well not really, but I am sick of "big" everything. It seems the media likes to do this all the time: Big oil, big pharma, etc. Since they like to imply that everything big is inherently bad, I would really like to see their reaction when they start to get very publicly referred to as "big media". I'm looking at you, Gannett.
Media has to sensationalize everything. It's not winter, it's a polar vortex!!!!!!!!!!Now I'm triggered.

NO. I'm trying to keep people from misusing antibiotics and creating superbugs, like MRSA, or that K. pnuemoniae that I had last spring, strains of which are resistant to nearly all known drugs. I was fortunate; my strain was not resistant to Augmentin or Cipro...but those are pretty heavy duty antibiotics.
I'm with you on that....just seems like most doctors' solution to everything is a med. People need to learn how to treat their own symptoms - for example, when they have a cold or the flu! - and not run to the doctor every time.

I know for a long time some doctors got tired of fighting people who thought they knew best. People would get belligerent with a doctor who wouldn't prescribe an antibiotic for a viral illness. Some doctors would finally just write the Rx to get them out of their office. It isn't right, but I could see why they would do it. Hopefully there is enough education about the problem out there that this isn't happening now as much if at all. The resistance isn't just a problem for the First Order. Nearly as big of a problem is people who have an antibiotic and fail to take the entire prescription. "I felt better after 3 days of my 7 day regimen so I quit taking it." They knock the bug down but not out so it has a chance to develop a resistance to that antibiotic. Take your meds as prescribed!
Bomb Cyclone....named Tyrese. much worse than the bomb cyclones, polar vortexes, and Los Angeles Clippers from 100 years ago.
What r people’s thoughts on Zicam or Airbourne? I can feel a cold coming on. I’ve never felt like they did a damn thing but some people swear by them. I don’t think there’s any real science behind it but hey I’ve been told by someone I live with I’m wrong everyday.
If they relieve your symptoms, use them. They won't cure your cold, but they might make it more tolerable. Same reason why I use the Dayquil & Nyquil.
Had a cold coming on late last week, hit me hard Sat., eased up Sunday and pretty much back to normal Monday just in time for my annual physical.
Typically I load up on Vit C during that time. Two pills twice a day until the cold’s gone. Only had 5 pills for this cold so maybe just a few worked better this time.

We use Target brand Airbourne. It seems to help if you take it at the onset of the symptoms. If you get the full-fledged cold there doesn't seem to be much you can do other than rest and ride it out.
I haven't seen her naked. There's probably been a million links that have popped up to see her but I haven't clicked on any of them.Or nude Kardashian pics. Is there anyone left who hasn't seem Kim naked?
Me, apparently.Or nude Kardashian pics. Is there anyone left who hasn't seem Kim naked?
I can understand this but I really don't think I have. I just kind of find her to be annoying.
