The Pain is Less Severe - DuWayne's a Bit Floatie Though...

And I get to take me a quiz here in a little bit!!! Yay me! (Update: AARRGGHH!! I am such a fucking moron!!! I only got nine out of eleven!!!)

It's only eleven points and honestly, I am well prepared for it, so it should be fine. Who knows - I took less of the meds than yesterday, but I am still a bit loopy (loopier than usual even). I am going to take my quiz after I go through my study guide again and then I will try to get at the follow-up on my accommodationism post.

In the meantime, the absolute best women ever, has crossposted her comment from my post, on her own blog and an interesting discussion has ensued...In particular, this comment was rather thought provo....Shit, I mean this comment is rather thought provoking - for my part, because it suggests a much better example for something that I wanted to incorporate into my next post.

And I would also like to point out Abby Normal's excellent advice for dealing with pain, such as the pain I am dealing with now. I can't actually take that advice, because it is seriously contraindicated by the meds I am on, but he left excellent advice in my last post...Though I will actually give my own recipe for dealing with pain - this is also effective for fighting various germie bugs as well...*

Take your favorite over-proof liquor (if you don't have one, Knob Creek is effective - though for particularly intense pain or particularly egregious germs, Bacardi 151 is more of a maximum strength version - be warned that it's flammable and can easily cause alcohol poisoning) and pour a good four ounces into a glass. Sit down and toss it back quickly. If you don't often drink, doing this in two, two ounce shots is recommended - as is having some water or ginger soda on hand to drink after...

*The FDA has not approved this as recommended treatment for either pain or germie bugs. Indeed, there is nothing in medical literature that would indicate this could be effective as a treatment for germie bugs and while the pain relieving qualities of alcohol have been noted in the literature, my suggestion isn't recommended anywhere that I've seen. Basically, I am just talking out of my ass - if you're actually looking at me as a serious source of medical advice, you're fucking nuttier than I am...

Yay, quiz!

I'm glad you're feeling better.

You surely do have high standards for yourself. 9 out of 11 is 81%. Sure, it's probably just that the two you missed were stupid mistakes, and sure, you probably were capable of getting 11, but still, only perfectionists demand perfection. (Not saying I'm not one too, note.)

What provenance does this quiz have?
