Well, my 10 year old didn't know what it was, so my Mom explained it to him. He then looked up at my mom and said "And he loves his job WHY?" We broke up laughing!! I swear, I almost peed my pants!

The play was awesome though. Can't wait to see my friend's next play!

Also.. I can't seem to find where to get that free Dr. Pepper coupon on the site.. where is it?

Thanks,
Jazaray

I think that's the first time I've laughed at a Mastercard parody in well over five years, good show.

Meanwhile, I think I officially became a member of a minority group yesterday.

$7 for a beer at the larger venues here. 5 or 6 bucks at the smaller shows.

I'm not complaining so much about the price (I pay 9 or 10 at Cardinals baseball games). But such small small sizes...up until this point the smallest beer I have seen for sale was 12oz at such an event. Seems bizzaro to me.

You are aware that the use of Lithium as a psychoactive agent stands on the most tenuous of scientific understanding and data, right?

I really don't care because it not only works for me, but it is the only thing that has worked. Other than Lithium, there is only one other antipsychotic that I could try (don't recall the name right now) and then it's off to get ECT, aka shock therapy. Why such an extreme? Because if pills don't work, ECT is the only option I'll have left.

You are aware that Lithium screws up almost as many people as it helps, right? I'm happy for you that Lithium did help you, but the cases where it doesn't help, it really, really messes up the people.

Probably not in the same league as lithium, mind you, but every time I've heard SSRIs, TCAs or anti-psychotics discussed (both casually and academically), it's been mentioned that there are a lot of horror stories out there, as well as a lot of positive results.

That's not a horror story, as far as psychoactive compounds go. A horror story is "he took a dose of ____, it seemed to work, he was really happy with it so he took home a bottle with 2 week's prescription. By the end of the week, he was hemorrhaging into his brain because he had developed tolerance and finished the bottle."

Lithium has been known to induce seizures in light "negative result" situations, and precipitating suicidal episodes in more severe ones.

Edit, because I missed it the first time:

Being imobilized by a pill is a horror story for me, but I see your point.

Do you, or anyone else, know anything about TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation? All I can find is basic info, and nothing about if it's close to being approved by the FDA.

I've heard of TMS. It's been traditionally used for research purposes in mice. I didn't know it was under investigation for therapeutic use in people, however, though neuroscience is hardly my area of expertise.

That being said, how hard is it to go to wikipedia? Seriously. Do it yourself. Read the article, and note that your question was indeed answered. You said you looked for info. Therefore, I can only conclude that your expertise with using the Internet borders on juvenile.

Dear New Kids on the Block,
What makes you think it's a good idea to reunite when 1> your career is 20 years dead, 2> the boyband pop-sensation has come and gone?
You just gave the other, more recent though 'still lingering in the closet', boybands like N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys the idea that in ten years when they're all but forgotten that they should relaunch their music careers.
Cancel this tour, and go back to your dayjobs. Lest you give Vanilla Ice the inane idea that he could be the next Eminem.
Sincerely,
A Child of the eighties who doesn't want to reminisce.
