Effing red maple (Acer rubrum) trees are at it again… high pollen count today. Joy.
Time to get some of these:

I get floored by hayfever every spring. I should probably talk to a doctor.
Claratin is useless.
Benadryl …. might as well just chug a 1/5th of Jack.
Zyrtech you need to take out a mortgage for.
Alegra.. now that’s the stuff but I think it’s prescription only
No, Allegra can be had over the counter… it’s expensive, but it’s out there.
I usually use Allegra, myself.

Wasn’t Sudafed basically just pseudoephedrine?
The last time I found that stuff marketed was at a truck stop in Midland, TX on a road trip in 2005. You can probably order it online. I don’t think it’s outright illegal.
You can probably still find it online somewhere. I don’t think it’s illegal. I think most companies just stopped using/carrying it simply for PR reasons.
You can get it behind the counter at any drug store.
You just have to show your drivers’ license.

Yep. I pick some up whenever I’m sick. They make Sudafed without pseudphedrine that you don’t need an ID for but it’s absolutely useless.

I’m still a week or two away from when mine get bad, based on previous years.
A lot of people claim it doesn’t work (and frankly, it doesn’t for me unless I take it EVERY day regularly), but as long as I take a Claritin every day my symptoms go from unbearable to barely noticable.
Benadryl puts me right to sleep; and zyrtec works, but does mess with my head a bit as well.

I don’t know if you’re a man or a woman or a horse, but if you’re a man, Johnston & Murphy makes a line of lower-end dress shoes that are by and large very comfortable under the name J. Murphy. They’re also pretty damn snazzy.
As someone who regularly has to walk half a mile to a mile every day, but also has to wear a suit every day, I highly recommend them.

Brick vs. Stick
By the way, friends, I submitted the brick v. stick question to Drew Magary for his Deadspin mailbag. I think they’re not doing any work next week (bums!) but hopefully soon he will weigh in on the proper choice.
He’s published answers to my questions before, so I’m hopeful he’ll be intrigued. How could one not be?

You can get some serious deals at the beach. Two years ago in March I went out there and got a room right smack on the boardwalk with a Jacuzzi for 70 bucks.
I mean seriously.. during the summer.. how much time do you spend in the water anyways?

Just finished reading Christopher Moore’s The Stupidest Angel. It was the last of his novels that I hadn’t read, and while it isn’t his best (felt like he just tossed off a book for the holidays), I still enjoyed it.
If you haven’t read any of his books, and you like funny, satirical novels, do. He’s great.
Usually I sign in cursive, but I can't find the button for it.
Lamb is probably my favorite, although I’m partial to Fool because I’m a Shakespeare nerd. A couple of my friends couldn’t get behind Fluke, thought it was too weird, but I liked it quite a bit.

Lamb is the only Moore book I’ve finished. I’ve started Coyote Ugly, the Stupidest Angel, and one other that I can’t place, but they didn’t hold my attention.
Lamb was a masterpiece even though it had a weak ending. One of the funniest books I’ve ever read.

Coyote Blue took some getting into for me. It’s a little less off-the-wall than most of his stuff, I think to its detriment.
Lamb really is brilliant, and would be my recommendation to anyone who hasn’t read any of his books before.

Definitely give Lamb a shot.
Coyote Blue was my least favorite and I only finished it because I’m a little OCD and like to gauge authors/tv shows/whatever in their entirety, which is why I still watch Lost even though, really, there’s no good reason to watch Lost anymore.
Usually I sign in cursive, but I can't find the button for it.
It’s just a remake of Gilligan’s Island, anyway.

Speaking of books...
I finished Shutter Island last night. It took me all of 2 nights to read. Call me a sucker, but I loved the twist. I anticipated a twist, though, but I liked how it all played out.

About twists/endings.. when I told my sister I was reading A Stir of Echoes, she said “Oh I think I saw that movies, is that the one where..” and then she spoiled the book for me. heh.

Is that a good book? I like books with crazy plot twists
