There's a medication that's originally for ulcers and someone found out it contracts the uterus. So now it's used for abortions and for very pregnant women to induce labour. And ulcers. It's called Cytotec in Europe. When Keith said the lash medication wasn't originally for lashes I thought of this medication.

Those Latisse ads are creepy. When I first got here in September they were everywhere and then they vanished for ages someone mentioned their absence on twitter, the next day they were back but were slightly different so I looked it up, turns out the FDA made them take the ad off to change some things and make the warnings more clear.

Alot of medications with good side affects are rebranded as new so the consumer pays more, I bet you Cytotec costs way more than it's counterpart that treats ulcers. When a pharmacy goes out of buiseness and another Pharmacy will buy the lisience to manufacture the med, rename it and launch as new. Customers than end up paying more for the exact med they've always used.

It actually costs about 5 dollars (but we do have a national health system and this is prescription only medicine. In Portugal when a doctor prescribes any medication, it's automatically cheaper)... have no idea how much ulcer medication costs.

Fund raising nudie calendar for curling? How do you not like this sport???

edited to add:

honestly, I didnt actually know what curling was until about a week ago, I had heard about it...never looked it up...and assumed it was close to the shot-put.
it really is exciting to see them scratch harder at the ice.

but that ad will certainly bring more attention to the game... know your audience.

News coming out right now that Vancouver police believe they have found the body of Andrew Koenig. I guess his family and friend's concern over him being gone were valid after all, no matter his age. Depression can be a pretty serious thing.

Decide to live your days with happiness and don't let negative thoughts steal them away.
