The answer is: (Couch) 84. The question is...

Can you restate that in regular english, not stopdogese - not see, dispreferred? I get tangled up in negatives!!

It would be typically male to think that crying is a preferred action of females, hence typically male to not see that it would be dispreferred. Because the few times i have cried, ooh the boys jump on it.

In my US state, I can get Tylenol over the counter as well as generic brands that contain paracetamol.
There are some hoops for meth making ingredients like sudafed, but we are free to damage our livers with many different substances and no nanny state to stop us.

I wonder if thats what my hyper alertness is. Because it is definitely an altered state. I was sorry to see it go. I wished i could be like that all the time.

Hmm. Ok, I see what you mean. I don't cry, so I don't get reactions to crying, and I have no idea how people are supposed to react.

I think "feelers" cry more easily than "thinkers"...I think it has a lot to do with personality. I happen to be a thinker, so I don't cry very often at all.

The first one yammers on about it all the time. It was the second one's use of the term that makes me wonder about her now.

I've trained myself not to cry. Now I can't when I want to. It's frustrating at times :P

I have never put want to and cry in the same sentence.

Me too. Plus, acetaminophen four hours after. So alternating high doses. That was short term. Few days.

Me either. If I have time I ask google how I should respond.... I also ask google what to write in cards or in response to something someone says.... Sounds silly, but I have no idea what the normal thing to say is. Often times saying "**** that's ******" is deemed unacceptable and that would be the most natural response from me.

I get what to do when someone cries, I just don't feel it usually. There are times I have been surprised. I once had a friend struggling with infertility and she broke down and I started crying with her. It was cathartic.

I have trouble when people cry for all sorts of things. I don't know what to do then.

Tylenol can cause liver damage. I had a 15 year old patient (boy) who took quite a few Tylenol in a weak suicide attempt. He had to go on the liver transplant list the next day. Mixing normal Tylenol doses with alcohol can damage the liver. Long term use of Tylenol can cause liver damage.

Ibuprophen abuse is more likely to affect GI tract or kidneys.

I used to work in a hospital lab when I was in school. I saw more than one paracetamol OD come through... Stuff sends you right into liver failure if overused.

I know. This annoys me too, but it's surprising the amount of people (including men) who will judge a woman poorly if she's not a crier. As my dad puts it, a woman is *expected* to cry in certain situations. And this coming from the most emotionally closed off man I know.

This is very interesting, and it makes me more determined than ever never to cry in front of any other people. (Not that it's ever been a problem, so I probably shouldn't think too much about it.)

Well, the need to cry is legitimate, for men as well as women. It's the expectation that's infuriating, and it's equally unfair that a man is expected not to cry. I think the solution is not so much to not cry in front of anyone, but to be careful about the people you choose to let see that part of you.
Of course, this is all hypothetical. I don't cry much either...

Exactly.

Well, my long-term goal is to not talk to other people about the kind of things that might result in tears, so...

Dearest one! my long term hope is that we (the royal we) find someone (besides dear t) with whom we can talk about the things that bring people to tears.

Yeah, me too. But the time and risk involved in the finding... Sometimes it's hard to keep hoping.

I know. Sometimes i think my related moments will just be disparate moments - very special, but not an extended in time personal relationship.

My dearest wish is to become a Vulcan

Wouldn't it be amazing!

Live long and prosper - emotion free!

That was my dearest wish for many years. But that's because horrible things were happening and I didn't want to feel them anymore.
