Yep. I did good and started two weeks early but it hasn't done much good. Guess it's time to try another medication. This is the first time claratin has let me down though.

Sometimes you've gotta switch them up. Have you used Allegra? Are you using the D version or regular?  I think Claritin D used to be by prescription only.

No I missed out on two hours of waiting around to get a permit, to go and park for another couple of hours waiting for the parade to start.

I did miss out on the company of my Kappa friends, but I will see them sometime this summer.

I'm with you on this one Critter. Last time I was there it rained the whole time too. Wasn't one of the best kappa days I've had.

Nope, I've never used Allegra. I use regular Claritin. Claritin D is like sudafed, if I take it I can forget about getting any sleep within the next 24 hours.

You seem like a really friendly kind of guy! Too bad you don't have interest in meeting new people, or talking cars.

I guess we are all less for lacking your presence!

I don't know anything about basketball and nor do I care to but is it's March and it's madness here in southern Ontario as we had snow last night as well. It'll be a little while yet before the car comes out.  :yawn:
