So, here's my first daily rant. Note that these may not actually be daily, 'cause folks, I do have a life. Umm, I'll be out of town for the next week, so don't expect anything for awhile. But, I hope that this will tide you over until my return.
***************************
Okay, I'm sick right now, so I'm on all this cold medication, right? Well, have you seen some of the side effects on (not necessarily cold medicine, but just medication in general) these things? Most of the possible side effects are way worse than the ailment the medicine is taken to cure in the first place!
Ibuprofen, the generic form of Advil, can cause stomach bleeding. I'm sorry, but I might rather live with my headache!
You know that pill for the yeast infection that's supposed to be so much better than a "messy cream?" Well, the side effects are something hideous like, heart attack, stroke, liver disease, and kidney failure! I'm pretty sure that I'll stick with a cream.
There's also a diet pill out there that has the worst side effect of all. Anal seepage. If you don't know what that is, I'm not explaning it. So it's like, "Hey Bob, you know Gina? She's lost a bunch of weight! She looks so good! There she goes! Hey Gina! Wait...no...EWW!" (Last paragraph inspired by Jerry Seinfeld)
And what's with this extra strength and maximum strength stuff? It's like, "Yeah, FDA, find out what'll kill me, and then back it off a step!" Why do you need more medication anyways? When did the original strength stop working? What is WRONG with you people?
Ever been to the pharmacy? Why is it that they have like, forty different flavors for the kids' medicine? Can you actually think of that many different flavors? I mean, Baskin Robbins has thirty-one, but that's ice cream. This is medicine! Can't they just pick one or two flavors? When I was four, I got an ear infection, and was on antibiotics. I only had one choice. Bubblegum. The bubblegum flavor is good enough for all medicines! Have you tasted that stuff? I could make candy with that flavor. Oh wait...that's already been done. Why the thirty-nine other flavors?
And why don't the adults get fun flavors? "Nope." They say. "You'll just have to live with this crud, while your children suck on bubblegummy heavenly goodness."
Okay. My first daily rant is over. Hope your eyes have been opened to something. I don't know what. But something. Did I at least make you laugh? Do you want more daily rants? Will Bob and Gina ever get together? Find out, in another bone chilling episode of.....Jedileia's Daily Rant!
