Transitional Urges

Smokers seem to use cigarettes as a transitional device - after work, after food, after sex, etc.

I feel the need to snack in transitional moments - do you guys have the same problem?

I was going to post about the need for some sort of doggie treat, but for humans, but then I realized that I have blogged about this before.

Whaaa?

Here are a few side effects of a real drug used to treat Restless Leg Syndrome:

...Some patients taking Ropinirole have shown urges to behave in a way unusual for them. Examples are an unusual urge to gamble or increased sexual urges...

When I heard the 'gambling' bit of the commercial, I was sure I'd misheard, but no.

The drug's name is "Requip" which sounds more like something you'd take when you're born Snappy-Comeback Challenged - "Do your coworkers zap you with zingers, leaving you fumbling for a reply, only to think of a great quip hours too late? Try Requip!"
