Quotes of the Day

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is more toxic than ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil) and is effective for only 4-5 hours anyway. In healthy adults, even a dose of 4 grams daily (the equivalent, typically, of 8 extrastrength tablets) can cause liver function abnormalities; and lower, more standard dosages can cause digestive tract problems. Avoid acetaminophen and other fever reducers; if you are too uncomfortable to sleep at night, take ibuprofen with some food. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

A prospective partner having a previous marriage raises serious questions that do not exist when both marital prospects have a "clean slate." Such concerns can include: 1) If there is a divorce (instead of a death), why did the divorce occur? Were there financial problems, addiction problems or sexual issues? 2) Did either of the spousal partners in the previous marriage have a commitment problem or was it a poor match? Logically, unless the divorced person has his or her own serious emotional problems, the odds of success should be better the second time around. [2011] - Isabelle Fox
