Don't read it. All our products are safe, the FDA said so. Our double blind studies indicate there are no harmful side effects caused by our products . Your doctor knows best .Everyone should read this before taking meds full time.... or medicating your kids... crap, before taking anything your doctor suggests. Unless you're really messed up and don't have time to read a book before you die of something serious. Well... use your common sense people. It's a scary and important book.Took them for three years until I got out of a rut around January. I never really felt that much difference. I think I feel more violent emotions, but it could be imagined (I don't "know myself" very well perhaps).Yes. I took antidepressants from the time I was 12 until just over a year ago--almost 11 years. They made me feel like s&!!, a complete zombie. Now I'm finding out that they probably did some permanent damage to my nervous system. Antidepressants (especially SSRIs) are bad f*+&ing news.Man, these pills are really weird. The anti depressants are already starting to work. After a night's rest I wake up as a blank slate emotionally speaking. I don't really start feeling anything until a few hours later, but when I do I feel much better than I have in a while.
It's starting to taper off now, though, and I can feel myself getting more frustrated with each passing minute.
Anyone else ever had experiences like that?

Yup. Knowledge is power.
Bang! Bang!
. . . And relieve the excess population.
They open up the grounds of the Air Force Academy for hunting every so often to help control the population.

They are beautiful! I hope they grow up strong, healthy and yummy! ;)
Diane just spilled iced tea all over stuff in the living room. Her neuropathy is getting worse and, and we can't figure out why.I'm sorry man.
The neuropathy is frustrating, but the cognitive issues are far worse. She has 2 engineering degrees and 3 masters degrees; it's the mental equivalent of having a spouse who did triathlons and has to use a walker now. I'm not comfortable getting into specifics in a public forum so I'm going to leave it there. Sorry, I just needed to vent a bit.

I'm sure there's a similar book on class action lawsuits and their perils. While they have been a lifesaver in times past(80's and 90's) and are responsible for righting some serious injustices, I am quite skeptical of how they are used nowadays. There are just as many lawyers out to make a (not so) quick buck off of the misery of others by hyping up the evils of side effects.
No nudity here. Just straight talk on something I'm passionate about.
Yup. It's not an issue with simple villains or simple answers, but it's a huge problem.

Yeah, I must have missed you. I remember you from the Off-Topic of old, but I just couldn't remember seeing you on this thread since I got back. Probably a slip of the mind.Sorry for post blitz. So apparently Mothman was gone for a while? Couldn't tell . . . only been back a week or so.Not really. I’ve been posting to Paizo since October 2006, I don’t think I’ve taken a break from the boards longer than two weeks or so in that time.
Yeah, I tend to lurk for a few days, make a few comments, then go back to lurking.

I post, I just don’t normally have the time to make LOTS of posts, or necessarily post every day ... particularly as I spend half the time I have catching up on the posts I've missed.

I used to wait to post until after I caught up. Not anymore! (Imagine that last sentence with the voice I'm vaguely thinking of in my head right now.)

That fills in some blanks for me--I didn't know she'd been through that. You have my sympathies, that's a seriously heavy one to carry.
The big problem with fawtl, for me, has been the issue of "catching up"--there have been times when doing so is just impossible, but when I come in everyone is chatting about this and that--stuff I don't know a whit about from 10 pages earlier, or from the previous fawtl.
Hard to feel part of things.
That's why I always just dropped in and out ('specially with the no-free-time and health-hard-times I was having).

Yup, it kind of adds insult to injury or something lie that.

Only issue I have ever had is when I make a statement for someone and they miss it, because we have had 12 pages of stuff go on since I posted. It's cool when I go back though and see someone has caught up, or said how did I miss that. Makes me realize I am not just being ignored.
By the way Facebook makes this much less likely. Wow I just realized we have been posting in these threads pre-facebook.

I think facebook is a completely different experience for someone in his or her teens than it is for hardened cynical bastards in their 30s and 40s--in fact that probably goes for all social networking crap.

I find it a much different experience than my wife, who loves the simple time consuming games, and say my teen age son who uses it to keep in touch with school friends and plan events.

I agree. For me, Facebook became mostly a chore, a time sink with minimal payoff, an invasion of privacy, and a way that people from my past (who I’d rather remained in my past) could find me. Sure, there were good things about it, but for me the bad and indifferent outweighed the good.

I use it, but it doesn't mean I like it. I only got on because of a girl, and I only use it now for people from school (or if someone posts on my wall, but I'm reactive, not proactive).
Look at him sleeping. What a cutie.

Bitter Thorn: On the acquisition list...will add some tasting notes or at least reflection afterwards.
I'm very sorry to hear about Diane's [and your] struggle. Very frustrating. Heart-breaking. :-(
Yeah, I don't like paying high prices for coffee -- or anything -- but for me decent coffee is a necessity and great coffee is a luxury to indulge occasionally. I know people for whom the taste difference between Miller Lite and Chimay Reserve is not worth the price, just like I know people for whom the difference between French press, freshly ground Blue Mountain and percolated Folgers crystals is not worth it. What can I say?

Sympathies. My father-in-law had steadily increasing neuropathy. Likely caused by his career in a power plant. Hope they get something figured out.
Good morning FaWTL. Today is my last day of work for the week, woot!!!

Hey, you put up with me venting about the evils of Facebook all the time, i am more that happy to lend an ear on a far more serious issue. Also, i know it's not much, but I would like to suggest this site for you in terms of researching what's being done in terms of work on neuropathy and cognition. The site can be a bit dry sometimes, but it is as close to the bleeding edge as i can get at the moment.

One day, the ivory tower will crumble, and on that day, i shall bring Zuckerberg to his knees.

What would you think if I told you Joss Whedon was a special consultant to the FDA?
WHEDOOOOOOOOON!!!

Kneel before FHDM, son of Sean Parker!
Need some editorial eyeballs. Submitting my Thor essay today, but there's one sentence that's awkward and I'm trying to smooth it out.
I initially had issues with the 3-D presentation of the film. In agreement with movie critics Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert, I felt that the 3-D special effects did not add to the movie beyond what could be enjoyed in 2-D. in order to maximize the Hollywood profit margin rather than to add to the dynamics which would lack clarity if viewed in 2-D. Maltin remarked that “it’s hard to imbue … characters with credibility … on such clearly computer-enhanced sets. 3-D adds nothing to the experience….” The artificiality of the visualization extends to how the Kingdom of Asgard was reimaged in its grandiosity. The implementation of computer graphic imagery (CGI) aids cost reduction from funneling millions of dollars into elaborate stage sets that will eventually be taken apart – never to be used again. However, the depiction of Asgard appears to be cold and clinical and lacks a bustling population that one would expect to find in a realm of immense proportions (George Lucas’ visualization of Coruscant comes to mind).
The bold sentence, especially in blue, is where I'm having issues. Can anyone offer a good alternative? Going to send this in 90 minutes.
Gracias!

Spoiler:The majority of 3-D films appear to have the technology applied more as an afterthought in order to maximize the Hollywood profit margin, rather than to add to the dynamics of the cinematography, which would lack clarity if viewed in 2-D.
A little restructure, some clarification, and a couple well-place commas to break up the length of the sentence. How's that?

Edit: I tried to reword it to get rid of passive voice. It's funny how I can't recognize it in my own writing.
Plus you need this sentence (guaranteed to get you a one letter grade bump): "Also, as anyone knows, swarms can only truly be depicted in 3-D."
