	Conversation with my husband
	Me: How many miligrams of ibuprofen can I take? Him: At once? Me: Yeah. Him: Do you have a headache or something? Me: Yeah, and I've got Motrin. Him: Well, why don't you- Me: The good drugs are at home. Him: Well you've got a bottle of Aleve in your car [note: Admittedly, Aleve works better. Also, Seth doesn't know what a pain it is for me to get down to the garage since he's never been to my office, but it involves two elevators and half a flight of stairs. Then back up the half a flight of stairs, up one elevator, past a guard to swipe my badge, then up another elevator] Me: I don't want to go to my car. Him: You can take 800 miligrams at once. Me: I took 400 and it didn't work. Him: You can take the other 400. Seriously... I mean, yeah, motrin doesn't work for me. I'll admit that. But couldn't he have just answered my question? Sometimes it's not entirely convenient to have a pharmacist for a husband. :) Tags: seth Current Mood: amused

He was, of course, simply trying to help you solve the problem underlying your question. He's a man, that's what men try to do. At least the good ones. He's also a pharmacist, and again, that's what pharmacists try to do. At least the good ones.

Sometimes that means it takes a little longer to get the answer to the question. But at other times you can get the answer to a better question than the one you asked.

Of course. I made my post with nothing but good humor. Honest.

He was, of course, correct, the best thing would have been to get something more effective. He knows I never take Motrin, so he must have known it was a desperate act to get some relief.
