nose, meet business

IMs are not good for getting the whole picture. For instance, if you're IMing with someone and get the idea that she has broken up with her boyfriend, it is a very (very) bad idea to call the boyfriend and say "I'm sorry you broke up."
Regardless of it being the manly/friendly gesture (offering to take somebody out and get them drunk after a split), it's still none o' your business. Just offer to take him out and get him drunk. Then when he's had a few, he'll open up and take the talking stick and bang the drum and we'll all howl at the moon.
I'm embarrassed for the poor schlub who thought he was doing the right thing and ended up sticking his foot in his mouth. That guy must feel like a real heel.
Woops.
It's generally a bad idea to offer unsolicited comments on anyone's relationship. Ever. Unless you see a bruise, I guess.
Women are difficult to understand.

So anyway, in other news, today I buckled, took the advice of the moms (thanks Annie, Nat, and Steph) and bought stupid claritin for my stupid allergies that I never (NEVER) had til I turned stupid 35. Stupid old age.
Although I did manage to run today, and also rode my bike to work, I still feel like there's a large mucus-y chunk of something in my throat. I took the magic pill, for which I had to show ID and sign a form with my address, etc. (want to see something funny? ask the pharmacist, "can I make meth with this?" hilarious.), and now just feel like I'm high. Not fun high. I hate ephedrine.
