The MyPillow guy filed a request demanding that the government give him his phone back. This was today, Thursday. The judge ruled against him because the court had ruled yesterday, Wednesday, in the Individual 1 case that you can’t demand that the government give you back your property (or alleged property) while the investigation is ongoing. > **[Trump Inadvertently Helps Judge Deny Mike Lindell's Bid to Get Seized Phone Back](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trump-inadvertently-helps-judge-deny-214606787.html)** > > Judge Eric C.

owmanyclouds, post:4476, topic:931945"] Yeah, NyQuil is for salmon, Robitussin is for chicken. [/quote] I accidentally overdosed on Robitussin once. My dad said she’d read the label instructions, which told me to take two tablespoons per dose. I took two doses of it. Not realizing that it was supposed to be two _teaspoons._ It caused serious short-term memory problems. I find it unfathomable that people would do it on _purpose_ because it’s supposed to _feel good._ ---

I have a pack of Cools in my gym bag! I love to work out with a candy cig hanging off my lip. If I’m out, I have a bag of Twizzlers in there, too. Also fun to munch on while pushing it on the Elliptical Trainer. And a nice counterbalance to the gym rats who take themselves soooo seriously. ---
