Labels Are Important

Geeze, this scare about Tylenol is just amazing. When I was young and took loads of Tylenol for migraines, I knew that it was bad for the liver, but I couldn't take asperin. I haven't taken Tylenol since mid-late 20's as I don't tolerate it very well any more (and, I figured out what caused my migraines, so don't have those any more).

Now, now, the rest of the populace and FDA is figuring this out? If it isn't one crisis it is another - get on the ball people, read the freakin warnings on the label and don't act like "if some are good, more must be better."

Really, as a young teenager, I knew this stuff, and I'm not really all that smart - If I could figure it out (without the Internet even), then the majority of the rest of the populace should be able to read and understand the label!

Happy Fourth of July!

As a guy at work said, "In the UK [where he is from - ed.} we don't really celebrate this occassion."

I told him it was okay, since he is over here, he can celebrate anyway (hey, he's British, gives him an excuse to tip a few pints, eh?).

Celebrate safely and may you have a nice sunny day like we did yesterday!

Goodby June

I’m glad we didn’t get used to the sun on it’s short appearances on Friday or Saturday; it has been cloudy, cool and rainy every day since then – pretty much like all of June. The average daily temps in June are in the 80’s. Listening to the local TV station last night, the chief meteorologist said that we only had 3 days that were 80 or higher in June. We also had something like 3 times the rain that we normally get in June.

I’m hoping that July is a bit drier and warmer, although the first several days are not looking to promise anything of that kind.
