A Public Thank You

Published

Somebody (tnbutterfly won't tell me who) gifted me with a year premium membership.

So this is a thank you, random citizen, for the lovely gift. It means a lot to me that someone would do this for me. I'm not even a nurse yet.

I'm not good at expressing myself sometimes but please know it made me cry.

Love to all my friends

Aww. That very thoughtful sentiment and online outpouring of public gratitude almost made me cry.

It's been one of those days. I need a hug. *reaches for chocolate and Midol*

*hug*

I feel you sister. Except mine is hot wings and Midol.

Naw, we're all softies on the inside; we just won't show it too often. The hard shell on the outside is for protection.

So... you're all M&Ms?

I was going to post something about how when I was a regular dumb guy I thought Midol was some mythical anti-PMS drug, until I found out what was in it. Then I realized I didn't actually know what was in it. So I looked it up.

They all have an NSAID in them (acetaminophen or ibuprofen), several of them have caffeine (listed as a diuretic), some have an antihistamine... did you know there's a Midol Teen? Its secret ingredient is pamabrom, which is a methylxanthine, which is the same drug class as caffeine (i.e., weak diuretics). Still, kudos for creativity.

Oh, and then there's "Menstridol," formerly Midol Extended Relief, which has a picture of a nursey person at the top of the page... aaaand it's just naproxen. That's it. I'm kind of offended they used a nursey person to sell a med you can get pretty cheap in a less fancy and menstrual-themed container.

Now I know what's in Midol. And so do you (... you probably already knew).

I guess we are all a bunch of wimps. Wonder how we lasted as nurses for so long?

"Menstrual-themed container" - that made me chuckle.

It's all just a marketing gimmick. Kind of like "no bake" lasagna noodles.

I think I'd rather be Skittles or Reese's Pieces. Not an M&M fan.

Can I make pseudoscientific judgments about you based on your choice of candy? I'll pull out my Freud cigar and say, "Ahh, yeass, zis is verrry interestingk." Which is what it looks like when you type out a terrible Austrian accent.

I like Baby Ruth.
