My DNA says that I do not absorb drugs well, so I have to take double of everything, When Demoral and Valium were used for colonoscopies, it took 100mg demoral and 10 of Valium, IV to knock me out. I need to check with neurologist as I am on NuPro and check with nephrologist. I am an ex F&R volunteer, but quit when my daughter was murdered…..so I am told I have PTSD…You are lucky I am not naming everything…..BTW, if you have a cheaper package, I don’t need cook books, etc, as I am in an assisted living home. Love to Australia.

yea we have a very bossy woman at work she hasn’t been there long, not long enough to get the idea of how we do things but she is dead set she is going to take over. she has a body odor problem, smells like the smell you get from being downwind of a fish canneries gut pile! she is rather large ok obese and keeps trying to pick up the guys at work, the one that went for it had red bumps all over him a bit later, I think she is a demoncrap as well, Think I should be concerned? and Oh No I am not getting near this creature!
What the hell; being a Democrat, has to do with her body odor! Must politics, always find its way into every conversation?
dimocraps stink.
Thanx-a-million.

But, no…you shouldn’t be concerned about a woman getting near you.
good one!
