FYI, the generic name for Claritin is Loratadine and it is now available ... at least my Publix store has it under their brand.

yes, available for many years at Costco, CVS and other places as generics. Every bit as good. But Nasacort is way, way more effective.

Benadryl. Might not take care of the symptoms, but you will likely sleep trough the whole allergy season. 😊

man, that stuff is effective but nasty. Purely old school. Best given to people you don't like. Good if stung by a bee or having an anaphylactic event (of which I've had several).

I once took Benadryl before going to bed. Got up in the middle of the night to go to the potty and walked smack into the wall. I do not like.

Yep. Offered in a joking manner. Hence the smiley face.

But it was the only stuff we had 60 years ago...the antihistamines back then were just plain nasty.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day! (3/21)

The picture is of my son. As you can see, he had a pretty good weekend. Here's the program he'll be in.* I am so proud of him for his hard work in getting to this point. He's got a couple exciting years ahead of him.

*They are chronically short of funds, so if you're ever looking for a charitable contribution to make, you could not do better than this. But the point of this post is to celebrate, not solicit.

I don't regret my earlier use, but given new information that was the penultimate opportunity for use. And this is truly the ultimate occasion to use this: Right said, Phredd!!!

Congrats to your son!

Is there a preferred designation for those wishing to make a donation through the link?

Congrats to you, your son, and all involved!

Donations go to the University, but the donor can specify that the funds are only for use in the University Participants Program. On the form, "Other" in the drop down, then enter the UP Program manually. And thank you very much for considering donating!
