Durham, as small a place as it is, is actually classed as a city in England. If a "town" in England has a cathedral, which Durham has, then it is known as city. This has been the case for hundreds of years until recently, and to confuse matters, three towns have recently been given city status although they do not have catherdrals. Then we also have the matter of an old popular (in England ) folk song from the sixties called "Durham Town".......... but it is definitely the city of Durham - and, like you stated Louie, a very beautiful city it is. I visit it frequently.

I shall share three things, because three sounds like a nice number to me right now:
- I have the whole house to myself for the entirety of next week. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Maybe bring my guitar and one of my keyboards into the living room and make lots of loud noise at 2am and not have anyone yell at me for a change.
- Yesterday I bought a new toy to put in my birdcage (a wooden ladder thing) and it's already been chewed to sawdust. I think they've broken their record for fastest destroyed toy.
- I really really hate forums for the most part. Very rarely do I get involved in one. I find them awkward. It's hard to get going when everyone knows each other already and little alliances and cliques have been formed and people talk about things that happened years prior and blah blah blah. Having said that, so far this one is all right. I don't mean the structure or anything (it's a very nice and well organized board), but just my personal experience so far - could be better I guess, could be worse. Yay.
Ugh I'm so lame.

Tylenol that expired 3 years ago: useless?

Meh, I'd take it. But I'm a cheap bastard.

You'll need to take more than usual for it to be as effective, though. Just take 3 instead of 2 or something, because any more than that could be potentially dangerous.

Sudden liver failure much?

Markolas: DON'T TAKE IT! THROW IT AWAY. Don't try to guesstimate its potency.

You won't have "sudden liver failure" from taking one more pill than usual (especially since they've lost potency from being so old). My mother is a pharmacist and I know a lot about these things. I've overdosed on various forms of acetaminophen in the past too, so I've picked up some knowledge.
I was just trying to offer an opinion. Sorry.

But you've gotta admit there's quite a bit of irony
in the fact that these days, Fleetwood Mac fans
are debating whether or not to take one more
Tylenol pill.

DOOL was huge when I was in college. Students used to crowd in the common areas of the dorms to watch.

I always loved Katherine and her portrayer, Jeanne Cooper. She's an awesome lady.

Chances are he won't. But why needlessly increase that chance? And without knowing his medical situation, why do you feel that you are empowered to give medical advice anonymously over the internet? What if something really happened? Does that make you culpable? When you have sudden hepatic failure, you're pretty much done.

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I never said I felt empowered to give medical advice anonymously over the internet so don't ask me why I feel that way, because I don't. I was simply offering my opinion. I said I was sorry.

You say "why needlessly increase that chance" - well, isn't taking Tylenol at all needlessly increasing that chance? Some drugs and medications are needed, but with Tylenol you could always just suck it up and deal with the pain. Also, it's proven fact that medications lose potency when they're that old, so it's not like taking three instead of two is taking any more than usual.
I kind of hate forums. People get upset with other people too easily and it's just too hard to fit in. I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells here because I don't want to annoy anyone. Looks like I failed at that. Oops.
Once again, I apologize. Last I checked, people were entitled to state opinions. It's not like I was flat out encouraging anyone to do something dangerous. I'm sorry I upset people.

I took two of the Tylenol - they didn't do much. I've had a terrible backache the last couple of days (the result of a not-very-ergonomical workstation, I'm sure). It's slightly better today, tho not by much.

Should have taken three
