Actually, I did take a few Midol the other day. I got a real bad headache, but was out of Tylenol. I knew there was acetaminophen in Midol, so I took that instead. I also saw the warning about the (something maleate -- an antihistamine?) in it. That's what the enlarged prostate warning was all about. I'm happy to report there were no ill after effects. My mood, however, did not improve! I'm still ranting.

Pablo, male PMS and male menopause? I only know I get cranky when my better half doesn't feel well. I'll get back to you on the male menopause in 20 years or so. I hope I'll still have my hair then!


PS: Molakule, it's great to be appreciated -- even if it's as a ranter.

Are we interfering with Darwinism?

On one hand these labels are there to slow evolutionary losses. On the other hand the fact that we need these labels and they are written this way, says there is no interference, it's moving along nicely.
