. . . gave me 27 Lunestas, because he's concerned about the "profile" of Ambien for "long-term use."

I told him I'd heard that Lunesta can leave a bad taste in one's mouth—even to the point of making food taste bad.

I mean, I love the song. But the substance is a pathetic excuse for a recreational drug.

Someone on Twitter was just complaining about its after-effects, and the very thought made me take an antihistamine in sympathy.

I mean, I don't care how good it would supposedly make you feel: would you douche with alien-blood? Of course not: concentrated acid in the vagina = bad.

Well, then: why would you snort coke?

And, yes: I did try it once, it in 1980s. It achieved nothing. And why would it? I mean, under normal circumstances, I don't need something to bring me up. I need whatever it takes to knock me out, so I stand a chance of sleeping that night. Coke does the opposite of what a drug ought to do, while irritating one's nasal passages. Two birds with one stone: attacks a vulnerable body part while making it impossible to sleep. What is the upside supposed to be?

Okay. I'm done. For now.

(Attila the Hub: "Do you know the effect alcohol can have on the liver?"

"Yes," I respond. "But it's okay, because I gave up all other substances that are hard on the liver, like Tylenol. Also, I don't have to watch the damage occur. Also, there is no such thing as the cocaine equivalent of a nice little glass of red wine, loaded with antioxidants. The stuff has no legitimate use whatsoever."

To his credit, he did not roll his eyes before resuming reading his book.)

. . . that I tend to prefer antihistamines to decongestants, and that I live in a dry climate that keeps my allergies in check. I'm still on generic Claritin, and it's working just fine right now.

Pain control? I have to get that on the street, since I'm cramping up 28 days out of the month as menopause looms. And my doctor doesn't want me taking more than 10 milligrams of Ritalin a day. If I really need to get something done, therefore, I need to double up.

Welcome to Wonderland, Alice. You only need to remember one thing: "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."
