Better question, why are the buttons/zippers on different sides in the first place?

So it's easier for men to take your clothes off?

You know this, and yet you are advocating that this be reversed. Hmmmm.

I only want it reversed if I'm the one making the money off the reversing.

And it doesn't matter which side button flys are on. Getting a button fly in HS was like winning the lottery.*

*and was the opposite of getting the bra that clasps in the front. Do you know how confusing this is for a 15 year old?

I've had hayfever since about the sixth grade, so I've tried just about everything.

The summer before I had Magnus, my allergies were super super bad, so I was using Flonase, Nasalcrom, Allegra and Patanol (a prescription eyedrop). Since Magnus, my allergies haven't been as bad, so I'm just using Flonase and Patanol. My ears have been itching pretty bad this year, though, and if I weren't trying to get pregnant I would probably be supplementing with an oral antihistamine.

The great thing about the nose sprays is that they are non-systemic, so less likely to have side effects. Nasalcrom is a pretty good product, but has to be taken every four hours, which was a big drawback for me (Flonase is once a day).

If you are going to use an oral antihistamine, I would recommend sticking with the non-drowsy ones (like the Zyrtec you are using). The other ones are Claritin (which didn't touch my symptoms), Allegra and the new OTC Alavert (which I haven't tried).

PM me if you have any other questions.

Does anyone have a reference to a good place to buy printer cartridges on the cheap?

Thanks

Shut off whatever is inhibiting pop-up ads and you'll find one fast.

Because men need to be able to draw their swords and daggers. No, really.

OEM? Costco.

Otherwise, just setup a hotmail account and you'll have plenty of offers.

I see a niche market: women's shirts w/the buttons on the right. Why hasn't someone tried this?

I'm told the need to dry clean instead of using the shirt press relates to size, not button side; women's shirts are too small for the press.

So if you can make a smaller press, you can open some dry cleaning shops that will undercut the competition. And the buttons are still on the proper side for easy undressing.

I've often wondered if people who open dry cleaning places and laundromats turn a good profit. Places seem to come and go, some stay in business for years. Do they make good money?

Apparently my dry cleaner went to MIT. She's in her mid-20s and now runs the family business. She's also very attractive.

...so do you hit on her when you go to pick up your dry cleaning?

Has anyone ever personally witnessed this? I've never seen hail bigger than a golf ball, but you hear reports about giant hail all of the time.

I'm friendlier than I normally would be with a dry cleaner. But I don't hit on her.
