Da Bunny's visiting New York.

You're all just too clever for words, she said resignedly

I'm sure that some 20 people have already said this (too lazy to read every single damn' post!) but here's one more:

The active (pain relieving) ingredient in aspirin is acetasyllica (an acid).
The active (pain relieving) ingredient in Advil or Motrin is Ibufrofin (whatever that is).
The active (pain relieving) ingredient in bourbon whisky is grain alcohol (at least 60 percent mash from maize, otherwise ya can't call it 'bourbon'.)

After u use the last one,
u need the first one.

Very true, David. That's why I stopped using the liquid kind 15 years ago.

Sadly true, dat, if taken to excess. The trick is to find the perfect dosage

Here is a candidate for consideration
among modestly priced restaurants:
LASAGNA RISTORANTE at the Southeast Corner of
8th Ave. & 20th St. http://www.lasagnarestaurant.com/
I was there with TsarStepen and friends a few months ago.
I think he liked it. Perhaps he will elect to join us.
It has over 17 Different Lasagnas & Pastas of many nations (maybe Austrailia ?)

Directly across the street (across narrow little 20th St.)
is TROIS CANARDS, (I suspect that that means
3 Ducks in French) whose fare I have not tested.
Cute, little clean place, very modestly priced,
about the same as the lasanya place.

Another place, not terribly far, tho less modestly priced
is One if By Land, Two if By Sea at 17 Barrow St,
a few steps east of 7th Ave, whose signature dish
is Beef Wellington. (I'm informed that Chef will make
Baked Alaska, upon request, for dessert.)
This place was owned by Aaron Burr, Vice President
under Thomas Jefferson, who fled West after he slew
America 's first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton.

The 'Strand bookstore' on Broadway (close to 12th) is a place to stay in for hours - and opposite is a nice cafe ... an Italian restaurant actually, Piola, if I remember correctly ...

Walter is correct.
From your sleeping location, take the Downtown 1 to 42nd Street then the Downtown N to Union Square. (When you come out of the subway you'll be in the middle of the Farmer's Market. That's fun) The Strand is a couple of blocks South and East.

Advil reduces inflammation. Aspirin does not.

Joe(headed to NJ today...)Nation

Endocet reduces pain; that 's what I 'm on now. I hurt my back, trying to pull something minor.
I feel a little hi now.

Incidentally, for information qua subways n busses in NYC,
the fone # is: 1 718 330 1234. (free of charge)
U will have to wait out the robots thay make u listen to
b4 u get a live human, who will tell u specificly, step-by-step,
which trains n busses will get u where,
when u tell him where u r and where u wish to go.
He 'll also tell u an estimated duration of the trip.

For best results: have a pen n paper handy.

Aspirin does reduce inflammation. That is one of its many uses. According to Wikipedia aspirin is a cyclooxygenase inhibitor. "Cyclooxygenase (COX) is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Thromboxane is a vasoconstrictor and is responsible for blood platelet aggregation. This is why aspirin is effective as an antiplatelet drug.

I knew aspirin reduced inflammation.

What's the biggest bang for my buck re pain relief I can get over the counter here?


I prefer to limit ibuprofen as much as I can

Hey...where's da Squinney got to?

Naproxen sodium is a good (if not the best) pain reliever and it is a very good anti-inflamatory.

What does it sell as?

I'll go and check if I already have some...my aspirin has some other weird stuff in it

I believe that it sells as advil, but it's out of patent, so you can just ask the pharmacist for naproxen sodium. In fact, if you look in the pain reliever aisle, you would probably find a generic brand of naproxen sodium. I know for a fact that CVS has its own generic brand.

Scratch that--the brand name is Aleve. But the generic is just as good, and will be cheaper. (Advil is just another vesion of ibuprofin.)

Cool....what I have now doesn't have that

When my prince arrives or my ship comes in, I'm going to catch a plane or train or boat and visit the great bookstores that are left around the world. The very thought of the Strand, which I've never been to, having a nice italian cafe across the street, and that getting to them involves going through a farmers' market, make me swoon.

I remember the strand from last trip....very lovely

It was raining dat sun cogs and my brolly broke

I dumped it and just got wet

The strand was great even wet
