Doxycycline can have vomiting as a side effect. Might happen with a double dose. I hope not for your sake.

Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without singing them, was often a woman.

Every Whippet deserves an extensive wardrobe of coats, raincoats, sweaters, teeshirts, collars, leashes. Peach in her green raincoat and in a basket wearing a pink teeshirt.

Whippets and other sighthound bodies are very curvy with deep chests and narrow waists. They have tight short fur and little fat.
Peach was a failed foster.

Rock carvings from Foum Chenna, Morocco. Prehistoric engravings showing cattle and other animals in the Draa Valley, evidence that this area was once much greener and inhabited by pastoral communities thousands of years ago.

Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrΓ₯gan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso GarcΓ­a Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI

cannot stress enough how absurd it is that our government officials are mocking Iranian leadership for being delusional theocrats when they themselves genuinely believe this war is a mission from God to prepare the holy land for the Book of Revelations

Have you explored the possibility that something physical is affecting your sleep? Being diagnosed with sleep apnea and then using a cpap made a gigantic difference for me.
