What?! Those side effects aren't for real, are they? I'd rather be depressed! What a cheery little 55.:-)

Mojo said...

Heh. Sounds like a good plan! You'll still be depressed, but you won't give a sh*t.

LOL Kurt always threatens to take a list of medications from commercials his next physical and ask, "is *** right for me?"

Our doctor is pretty cool I bet he would jump right in and ask Kurt, "I don't know are you a menopausal woman?"

I don't have a 55 ready but if I come up with one it'll be posted at midnight Pacific time. ;-)

Mr Knowitall, I really REALLY don't know what I'm doing on here, but I have posted a 55-word thing as my blog for today.

Let me know if I should stay or go. Either way is OK!
Thanks for reading.

clean and crazy said...

you are awesome, i love it, my mom used that stuff for restless leg syndrome when she was sick, they stopped the quinine cause she needed to have malaria to use it which was about the only thing she didn't have, and she did have those funny side effects (the real funny ones). poor thing, by the way mine up too. have a great weekend and thanks for your wonderful thoughts and comments.

They have to push the stuff, it is a profit base. The side effects are ONLY....ha ha ha ha.

Dr.John said...

I see you enjoy that commercial as much as I do. I really love the one where the possible side efffect is death.

Fandango said...

You hymns are so easily depressed and then you think some pill will help you. When you are really depressed just give up and let a dragon eat you.( Plesse don't take any medicine for twenty four hours before our lunch)
Great 55.
Ours has been posted

Fandango said...

Of course that should have been humans. I wonder if the last dog I ate was on something.

Mona said...

Thanks!

Eaton Bennett aka Berenice Albrecht said...

With those horrible side effects, I think you better stick to pot. Oh boy, Galen that is some 55! You do make me smile. Have a great day. :))

I'll check in on everyone's 55's when I have had some sleep.

How true, Mojo! lol

steveroni said...

Remove from me all anxiety! (And then I could sit on top of a mountain and wait-with Fandango-for some "humans" or "hymns?" to climb up and while they are meditating, we'll eat them.

Rested meat is much more tender.

Akelamalu said...

Oooer the side effects are worth than the symptoms! Yeah, stick with pot! ;)

Good one G-man.

Mine's up too.

Cha Cha said...

Yeah....now that school's over, I've been indulging again myself.

And, I'm finally back on the 55 train this week after taking a li'l bit of a break.

'Pot over Meds'

I'm makin' a t-shirt.

xo, Oh, Galen-licious One

Much love. I miss you.

Hope you are well, My Friend.

buffalodick said...

I like the sleeping aids that "may cause drowsiness"...

Maude Lynn said...

"Pot - side effects may include cravings for nachos and twinkies and a sudden deep understanding of the philosophical meaning of Spongebob Squarepants!"

listen for azure said...

Yes, I did it. Finally. Happy Friday!

My 55 is up.

petra michelle; Whose role is it anyway? said...

That was so clever, G-Man! Loved it!

p.s. re: your comment about disabling anonymous comments.

Yes, get those occasional, unwanted anonymous comments.

I'd love to disable except I do have friends who comment who aren't bloggers.

But, I sure would like to know how to do it! I've never done that before. Truly appreciate your concern and help!

Have a wonderful weekend, Galen!

GAB said...

ROFLMAO! good one g-man

Donnetta said...

Hi, Galen! Maybe you'd better send some of that my way. haha Actually, I am feeling much, much better. I only take supplements and prescription vitamin D. Just the good stuff.

Mine is up! Hey, it's STILL Friday! D

KB said...

Yikes, scary stuff.

Mine's up!

Cazzie!!! said...

Yes, the side effetcs are quite rotten to any anti depressant, the continual walking around and looking through petroleum jelly glasses..mmm.
daughter's wedding??? When??

Devotee said...

Well, there's never a bad side-effect from reading your blog, G-man!

My 55 is up for the week.

Evening said...

Dandelions give me depression too.

Have a nice weekend.

ivan said...

An honest 55.
I'd be with Mona when she wonders about pot luck or the W/C. (We say bathroom over here).
I have been to London, and on one day culture shock was so bad I felt like going into the W/C and pulling the loo chain. Goodbye cruel world!
...Hey it was only London.
In Copenhagen, they have shower-stoopers and buggers!

hope said...

Susan at Stony River Farm made me do it...and it was surprisingly fun. :) Thanks for helping the challenge trickle my way.

And thanks for the laugh...I wonder why they advertise drugs by listing all the side effects first?

myrtle beached whale said...

funny stuff. Hopefully I will get motivated soon to start writing again.

Tall Kay said...

I am new at blogging, but intrigued with this Friday 55 challenge. I am going to try it tomorrow. Are there any other rules besides 55 words? I see the others always credit you at the bottom of theirs. Please come visit.

God bless,
TK
