8:25 am

rururocks

I'd imagine Niggler is a challenge of something. I'd be afraid to type that word as you might make a terrible mistake.

8:26 am

hurshy

it's annoying, irritating, troublesome. like people sometimes say they have "niggling doubts" about something.

8:26 am

rururocks

Drug companies have found that using P Q Z Y X in a drug name gives the product a more modern name and easier to clear trademark.

9:27 am

rururocks

I'd think that pqzyx is just another acronym for hokie

9:34 am

hokie carla

I freaking hate drug names and drug ads. just so, so stupid.

9:35 am

BzznBea

I am the same way. Why do they need to advertise to the public?

9:40 am

Shirlockc

yeah, non americans are surprised to see all the drugs being pushed on TV

9:43 am

origami

I'm surprised anyone would take any drug advertised. The list of potential side-effects is normally terrifying.

9:44 am

BzznBea

Agreed, ori. Scary stuff.

9:50 am

hokie carla

LOL, it's always side effects are supposed to be what it's treating.

9:59 am

BzznBea

I took a statin for two years. It made me so sick and not one doctor could figure out what was wrong with me. Read the side effects and stopped takiing it. Within three days,, I was feeling so much better.

10:03 am

Sugrraleona

hello everyone - I haven't played in a while, I'm noticing that when I type a word in "add word" I'm getting this annoying pop up giving word choices. Anyone know how I can turn that off?

10:09 am

Gobias

hi Sugrraleona. Probably an autofill setting in your browser.

10:10 am

Gobias

I get it too, but after I type the first word it goes away unless I click in the box again, then I get suggestions

10:20 am

hokie carla

you have to hover over the right side of each word and an x will appear, click the x to clear the word. I usually have to do the first word of the day every day then it stops until the next day.

10:21 am

hokie carla

bea, my mom went on a statin years ago and was throwing up every day. that's weird the doctors couldn't figure it out. my mom knew what it was and said she wasn't going to take it anymore.

10:23 am

hokie carla

but when she was in assisted living her diabetes oral med was making her super sick and they didn't seem to know what was going on. when she had to move to nursing home, they switched to injected insulin and she was suddenly not getting sick anymore.

10:27 am

BzznBea

I switched to an injectable statin and tolerate that well. I haven't had to add any meds but if I do, I will be asking a lot of questions before I take it.

10:28 am

hokie carla

good idea. I plan to do that as well.

10:29 am

hokie carla

I seem to be stuck with 10 left. guess I will look for my 3 4s.
