Intentional side effects

I think it's interesting that the medication Diphenhydramine (used in Benadryl, Tylenol PM, etc.) is often used for its side effect as opposed to its primary effect. It's classified as an antihistamine, which means it's for allergies. But its main side effect is drowsiness, which is why it's used in all those sleep aids.

Home ownership and lawn care
|

One of the things I dreaded before owning a home was the idea of lawn care. That whole exercise in futility held no appeal for me. But now that I own a home, it's probably my favorite part of the process. I could do without the painting and the flooding and the remodeling, but lawn care is one of the good things about home ownership. There's just something enjoyable about having a simple task that doesn't take much time, effort, or money, and which produces a reliable, positive result. Granted, it might have something to do with the fact that I have a tiny lawn that only needs to be cut every few weeks, but whatever. Using a gas-powered machine to beat nature into submission is enjoyable either way. #lifestyle
