if somebody you care about has been making a lot of air-headed questions and comments over the last few months, how do you tell them without insulting them that they need to stop and think a little more before speaking? normally i would just try to ignore it, but they're still capable enough to notice the look of disgust on my face and it's causing a strain on our friendship.

anti-anxiety pill
take one and drink 2 beers, and its like you drank a fifth of liquor
but you can still talk and shit, and from the outside you still look normal
but when you take one, you'll say any and every thing that you prolly thought you'd never say

I was on the receiving end of such a conversation several months ago. "Pregnancy brain" set in pretty hard and I was functioning somewhere just above retarded. I did/said something stupid and my husband just turned to me and said, "Dude, what is up with you lately???"

It wasn't a big deal. I know that I've suddenly turned into a blubbering idiot, but I try to take a minute and think a little harder before I do something dumb.

i think daddytime might be talking about "xanax." obviously he's never seen the script for it

who knows if he got dumber or if he was already that way

bottombaby, any teenager can tell you that any intelligence in your brain gets squeezed out and into your babys head at conception. strangely, the same thing happens to the father as well. thats why children are so smart and their parents are retarded

haha, the sad thing is that I actually asked a co-worker how to spell it so i wouldnt get hounded on tww, typical

but don't think just because i can't spell it doesn't mean i dont eat them

I love pills, i'd put them in my cereal if i didn't have to function at work in the mornings

if you like taking crazy pills you are probably crazy. therefore, you should at least go get a fucking script for them so your fucking insurance will help you buy them

Green Jay, I know now that my mom was telling the truth every time she old me that she was a sane, rational, intelligent human being before she had children. I use to think she was just trying to save face.

its a species survival strategy. you only have to live long enough to reproduce.... if you die of being a stupid crazy bitch after that, it doesn't matter.....


i'm sure you'll feel better after you have had the baby and daddytime quits dipping into your pills

Oh my husband went into this long spiel about how pregnancy literally causes your brain to shrink and it doesn't return to normal until after the baby gets here.
