Most OTC ibuprofen is 200, but I think I've seen extra-strength.  I'm sure 200 X 3 will "do the trick" as that's prescription dose.  How is your stomach afterwards?  If I take two 200 mg. I get "ill," queasy and nauseated with an irritated stomach (which most people get with large
doses) which is why I take only one, usually before I go to sleep.
 
Personally, I never cared for Peck too much, but I care enough to "know about him," like you, as he is so popular.  I don't quite understand why. 
 
That's "neat" about the menu.  I was going to ask you what you (plural) were fixing, but I thought it would be too much trouble to report. One "vegetarian" dish I have really taken a liking to is couscous.  So far I have just bought the boxed "mixes" which are in the store--garlic, or parmesan, or pine nut (I didn't like that one or vegetable--there's a whole line of them.  I have some from scratch recipes, but I would have to go to the health food store to get the grain in bulk. I tried some disastrous things with tofu not too long ago, although I love tofu with onions, peppers, and tomatoes, just sort of stir fried (Do you remember the Mother Earth restaurant in Gainesville.  They served it for breakfast which is where I got the idea--Boy I had forgotten about Mother Earth--they had the best huevos rancheros).
 
Thanks for the explanation--I had no idea about scanning or what it could do--just my one stone-age experience in the 1980's.
 
I absolutely love therapist movies, or I'm a sucker for them.  My favorite of all time, I think is "Dressed to Kill" with the British author Michael Caine.  He plays a therapist who is, I believe, a cross-dresser, with a repressed female identity.  There are all sorts of scenes with mirrors where you see the man and his reflection, sort of splitting his identity.  I remember after "Ordinary People" that a lot of therapists complained about the portrayal, although he was a "good guy" therapist.  I also love therapist "books," although Jonathan Kellerman is NOT a good writer.  The first book I read of his I thought, "What an egoistical jerk."  But, he's made mega-bucks.  Stephen Gregory is much better.  But, with such books in general, I "forget" them as soon as I read them.  One of the book store clerks sort of laughs at me because I keep a list of "popular" books like that which I've already read.  If I didn't I'd buy them again--not always--but they don't stick as other books do. 
 
I liked your bike.  But, is is "big" enough for you.  One thing that throws me about a new bike is that my old one was 27 inch.  Your bike looks small to me.  Oh, by the way, you looked really nice in that picture, as if you are in good shape. 
 
Can you tell.  It's a slow day.  Elizabeth
