    No idea what this is referencing. But have “purse” ibuprofen, home ibuprofen, and even minivan ibuprofen.

    Why yes, I do have chronic pain and migraines. How could you tell?

        I sent the image to my partner and accidentally caused her psychic damage by not immediately knowing that this was the Spice Girls too. I was born in '90 while she was born in '85 and I was like 26 when we got together, so we’re not that far apart in age. But where that gap falls is sometimes huge for us.

        She’s apocalyptically gay, like “Mistook not being entirely repulsed by a boy for having a crush on them,” gay. So naturally, she was obsessed with the Spice Girls. I knew of them, but I didn’t really start branching out in my music tastes until the mid 2000’s. Before that it was basically entirely the Country music my Mom listened to or the Classic Rock my Dad listened to.

        So yeah, this was another thing that I accidentally caused psychic damage to my partner with because of our age difference.

      If you arent allergic, you should aleternate between ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Its easier on your guts (hypermobile chronic joint pain gang)

        I’m not convinced acetaminophen is a drug. It might just be my problematic caffeine addiction but a can of pepsi is usually a better headache medicine than Tylenol.

        I would but acetaminophen does nothing for me and I’ve got liver function issues largely from being well… large. Doc has told me to just avoid acetaminophen.

        All I can really do is just only take the ibuprofen when none of the non-medication remedies help.

        Oh is that what this is referencing? I definitely knew of the Spice Girls, I was just never really into them when I was younger. I was one of those kids whose family only really listened to Country music and didn’t really branch out much until like the mid 2000s. But when I did I was more into like Linkin Park, Celldweller, and like random DDR and anime music.
