My Horrible Head

Wednesday April 8, 2009

I can’t breathe right now and it sucks. I’ve told you already about my abnormally large sinuses and complained about not being able to breathe, but so far 2009 has just been unbearable.

Deadly Side Effects

Thursday October 30, 2008

I just saw a commercial for a new migraine medicine called Treximet. It is apparently the hottest new thing for bad headaches. The first side effect mentioned by the voice-over sounds just a little bit extreme, though. “Side effects may include sudden fatal heart attack …”

Visine Warning?

Tuesday December 17, 2002

A bleary-eyed notice from TeamBilly HQ:
No more Visine. Doc’s exact words: “Unless you’re an actor and need a quick fix, don’t use the stuff. Use artificial tears or something better. But not Visine.”

Questions: The Anti-Drug

Wednesday May 8, 2002

There is an anti-drug billboard near my house with a picture of a bunch of kids playing basketball. Superimposed on the photo is the line, “After school my child likes to _______ .” Below that is some blather about questions being the anti-drug. “Know what your children like to do,” or something like that.
