[I woke up with a small headache, then I endured her undiluted RATaganda, now I have a full-blown ears-ringing, pounding skull-crusher.]
There is a simple solution to your dilemma, take an aspirin for your small headache and avoid anything that compounds your misery.
Well, actually I did the former (but for cardiovascular purposes)...Regarding the second point...c'mon read the title of this thread, we focus on compounded misery.
But thanks, my headache has left me, probably as a result of the relaxing friendly banter, here, with my buds.
