- Welcome to my 2 hours from now! - Spawn Apr 16, 12:12
- sorry. :( -- nm - Diva Apr 16, 12:11
AA is grounding all flights due to a computer problem (per a phone notification) -- nm - spamlet Apr 16, 12:06
Catching up, the Star Trek trailer is great, but that Dove video is amazing. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 16, 12:01
Second victim identified - family only found out today it was her. :( -- (link) - Andie Apr 16, 12:00 6
- from the article: The 8 year old was running away from the first explosion when he was killed by the second. :( -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 12:03 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - it doesn't say he was at the location of the first one, just running away from it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 12:07 1
      - [deleted]
    - they were pretty close. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 12:06 1
      - I agree with ML, unless he was very near the 2nd, but they were nearly simultaneous. - volnelk Apr 16, 12:08

- *asks for a raise* -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 12:11
- trying to find the link, but yesterday the san fran chron/sfgate had an article on hookers making $M "servicing" silicon valley dudes -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 12:09
- Whenever I hear the phrase "trickle down" I think of... (kinda gross).. - ceregon Apr 16, 12:02 1
  - that sounds about right... -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 12:09
The only problem with the 24 hour Zyrtek type allergy medication is what happens if you can't remember if you took one. Do you have to just skip it? -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 11:56 11
- when I took it as a prescription, the maximum daily dose was 20mg (so 2 regular doses). there wasn't much extra benefit beyond 10, though. -- nm - b. Apr 16, 12:04
- i get 2 zyrtek days periodically. you will be fine -- nm - peglegpete Apr 16, 12:02
- take another! you'll be fine. -- nm - colin Apr 16, 12:02 1
  - What's that Colin? Take all of them? OK! -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 12:08
- probably ok to take one 12 hours after the usual time but you might want to call a pharmacist or the product info line on the package -- nm - zork Apr 16, 11:58 3
  - Package says do not take another. But I think I'm with you. It might increase drowsyness, but 12-18 hours after the usual time seems okay. -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 12:03 2
    - 1 is the suggested dose. everybody is different and 2 is fine -- nm - peglegpete Apr 16, 12:04 1
      - Thanks. I'm quite pleased at how well they're working. -- nm - Qale Apr 16, 12:08

  - i used to go help the old lady next door, i'd open all her meds and she'd leave the caps loose on top -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 12:17
  - I'm telling dad that you're laughing at him! - zork Apr 16, 11:59

- since a pressure cooker seals itself from air, wouldn't this prevent a bomb dog from detecting? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 11:12 4
  - pipe bombs are sealed too. the best bombs are so that more pressure builds before the casing disrupts. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 11:45
  - Unless there was explosive residue on the outside of the pressure cooker. -- nm - Ender Apr 16, 11:15 1
