Memory Loss. Seriously. It's happening to me.

Provided you're a healthy adult, 8-12 in a day (meaning 24 hours) is fine.

Important to keep in mind that "fine" basically means any damage you do to your liver likely won't last very long.

I usually take two a night before bed to fend off a stiff neck in the morning. So far so good, I think?

I guess so, but keep in mind it's like having a few drinks a night in terms of ship building up in your liver. Eventually it could come back to bite you. And especially if you drink on top of that.

As one doc told me, the liver is amazing at healing itself, until one day, it's not anymore.

Oh, believe me, I'm not professing to be beating the system here. But I never drink, so the only potential damage I'm doing is w/the Tylenol. My new-ish doc is super young and on top of things and has every little thing I've ever had on my chart. She's yet to say anything about the daily Tylenol. Doesn't mean it won't bite me at some point, of course.

So two elephants are talking and one says, "How do I do it? Mnemonics!"


I first heard that joke 35 years ago.

Thirty-five years ago, huh?

I guess your memory is still good.

I spent 20 seconds last night looking for the remote that was in my hand.

At least you didn't try to dial the remote...Did you?

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

I'm not sure what you mean by dial the remote. Like an old rotary phone?

 

[justgladtobehere]

Tylenol with codeine is nice. Tylenol 2 or something.

Can somebody remind me what this thread is about?

Tonight was a doozy.

After work I decided to try a taqueria in my new town, less than a five-minute drive away. Got a couple of tacos and some street corn and waited in my car. (This place works like a food truck, but in a permanent location the size of a single wide trailer).

Got called to the window to get my food and was surprised to see my corn in a cup. There was no lid so I took care to situate it in my cup holder and went home. That's when I realized it - no tacos.

I sat there for a minute debating which would be more embarrashing- being the guy who came back for his forgotten food or the guy who paid for tacos and abandoned them. Hunger won out and back down the hill I went.

The folks in the trailer remembered me but didn't remember me leaving anything behind. Then another guy who was still waiting for his dinner solved the mystery.

"Your food is in the street over there. Somebody knocked on your window as you were pulling out to tell you it was still on the roof. I don't think anyone has run it over yet if you still want it."

Sheepishly I muttered something like "I'm not that desperate," and pulled back out. I could see the customer retelling the story to the counter guy, who went from a puzzled look to a grin as wide as the trailer.

But as I got next to the tied plastic bag with my tacos, I noticed it was indeed intact. And I kinda was that desperate. So I pulled to a stop in the middle of a four-lane US highway, opened the door and scooped up my orphaned dinner.

I had to refill the tortillas myself but everything was good. Maybe in six months or so I can show my face there again.

Wow, I was today years old when I learned this stuff ...

In Pulp Fiction (1994), Marsellus Wallace wears a Band-Aid on the back of his neck because actor Ving Rhames has a scar there that Quentin Tarantino thought would be distracting. However, a popular fan theory arose that, when the devil takes one's soul, he does so from the back of the neck.

And the rest of the theory is Wallace's soul is in the case Vincent and Jules are tasked to retrieve. I think at least.

The soul is as good a theory as anything else. Probably makes the most sense.
