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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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?
