Comments for Consuming and the American Dream? http://consumerism.umwblogs.org Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:24:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 Comment on The Miracle Drug! Excedrin!! by Andreas http://consumerism.umwblogs.org/2008/12/01/the-miracle-drug-excedrin/#comment-564 Andreas Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:10:34 +0000 http://irene.umwblogs.org/?p=55#comment-564 Thanks for the tip! I have suffered from migraine for many years, and is always looking for better ways to relieve the pain and other typical symptoms. The single best prescription-free medicine I have ever used to treat migraine is the combination of the Nurofen Plus tablet (200mg ibuprofen and 12.8mg codeine) and an effervescent tablet with 500mg aspirin and 50mg caffeine. Now, codeine is a bit dangerous as it is addictive and very pleasant to take. But it is what makes the difference between relieving the pain - and removing the pain for me. I find it worth the risk, and worth recommending to others. Just be aware and never take codeine outside the migraine window. :) Thanks for the tip!

If you like good books check out, 'The Flame of Heaven' by Andrew P. Wright. Not quite as harrowing as 'House of Sand and Fog' but a good thrill ride. Historical fiction, fantasy and suspense all rolled into one. Availble on amazon and Barnes & Nobel for $13.95 Good reading. I like your style Kam.

I can spend hours standing in front of the displays at Michaels, trying not to buy anything. This year I managed to buy a few new houses but was able to get them at 50% off at Michaels. Now that I've filled up my mantel area, I'm trying to figure out how can I fit in more which I'm hoping will put a stop to buying, though now things will soon be on clearance at michaels which is even a better way to buy. Besides, who needs to eat. I know what you mean. I can spend hours standing in front of the displays at Michaels, trying not to buy anything.

I saw my last game in July and I truly wish I got out to one last one...but alas. The "House that Ruth Build" will be missed but I am interested in going to a game at the new one in the future.
