Might want to PM StreetPharmacist, but I believe there are several brands of over the counter caffeine pills that you can buy. I'd ask him about it though, because I've read that they can be pretty hard on your stomach.

Oh yes, very much so. I think Energy Drinks in general will be looked at the way we look at cigarettes right now.

Wake-ups? 100mg (roughly equal to home brew) per tab or extra strength (200mg)

Yeah, I thought of that, but was hoping for something I could just mix in a drink. I found some straight powdered caffeine online, but that just seems like a bad idea waiting to happen.

5 hour energy is just caffeine with some vitamins thrown in. The only thing in them that gives you energy is the caffeine and maybe placebo. You just piss out the extra vitamins anyways.

I'm thinking of trying curling this winter. Should I? I'm kind of thinking it would be a fun way to spend the winter without having to leave the city. Plus the club is like 3 blocks from my place.

It's just a small pill. Why do you want to mix it into a drink? High concentration of caffeine doesn't get any more convenient than pill form.

Has anybody used the text to park feature for ParkPlus? I am setup for the phone-in system, but when I texted 77587 with the zone number, I didn't receive a confirmation text back. Thanks.

Because it feels a little less like I am a caffeine junkie, I guess.
I just want a box of little pouches to sit at work, like crystal light, and be able to pull one out if I want something better tasting than water (or need a fix!)

Strange Logic.
Drink coffee, it's awesome and has withstood the test of time. I used to dislike the taste, now I usually either take it black or with a small amount of cream...
If you really hate the taste I would get the green coffee extracts, I've heard some pretty good things about it.

Coffee is not an option as I really find it offensive. I tried to drink it many times but unless you spend a few bucks or put a ton of sugar stuff in it, I cannot drink it.
I just looked into Green coffee, and it looks like Starbucks has a product based on it that is exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks.

I dont think I've ever had a flu vaccination. Unless your a child, elderly, or have some other hindering medical issue, I see no reason why people in a civilized nation need a flu shot. Its the flu, just deal. All the flu shot does is kill your immunity to it and...give you a mild case of the flu....
Just my 2 cents.

Extreme tooth pain hit me earlier in the week, and a trip to the dentist revealed it was not my wisdom tooth (which I suspected) but the next one.
So instead of having it pulled, I opted for a root canal (rather, they drilled a hole in it and gave me antibiotics) and because the tooth cracked, they have to put a crown on it.
$1300 for the root canal, I don't even want to wager a guess how much it'll cost for the crown. Now I'm thinking I should just get it pulled and have a bridge installed.
Are bridges permanent? Are they a hassle or come with their own set of problems? What can I expect to pay for a bridge? I see the dentist again next Tuesday. Would I even ned a bridge?

I've had a gold crown on my back molar for about 10 years, it's sweet. No issues whatsoever. I opted for gold because I was told it's more durable (no one see's it back there anyway). I wouldn't worry about the crown, they aren't that big a deal.

I used to enjoy it. A little bit of exercize, some beer drinking, and excuse to get out of the house in the winter. Plus with a lookout likely, you will have some spare time.

Or if your job/routine takes you into contact with the elderly or at risk, you should get it. It GMG when seniors homes or hospital wards get quarantined because some 'Know Better' subjects them all to the flu, and it happens every year.
