He also prescribed lyrica. Fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can be more active. Ask your doctor about lyrica. Crisp garden vegetables. No artificial flavors. Philadelphia . Garden vegetable. Rich, creamy. And delicious nothing else tastes like philadelphia . I have no idea whats in this seaweed wrap. But with this usp seal i know exactly rtified by usp. A Non Profit Organization that sets purity and potency standards. . . You must be the new teacher, huh . Yeah. Remember, days like today, youll never forget. Youre going to do great. Thanks. Ill have that goat cheese garden salad. That gentleman got the last one. Sir, you give me that salad and i will pay for your movie and one snack box. Can i keep the walnuts . Sold. But i get to pick your movie. Can i pick the genre . Yes, but it has to be a comedy. A little cash back on the side. With the blue cash everyday card from american express, you get cash back on purchases with no annual fee. Throw. Its more than cash back. Ingrid michaelson, she just burst onto the mainstream music scene two years ago with her hit girls chase boys. That song spent 20 weeks on the billboard top 100. Bhe laurels. Not one bit. She is gearing up for her hell no tour this fall. Shes out with her seventh studio album. This ones called it doesnt have to make sense. So true. I love your title. Thank you, thank you. By the way, hell no is such a great anthem song. Thank you. How do these songs come to you . We were writing in nashville, two writers and i, and that was it was just hell no. What are we saying it to . I think a breakup pretty much makes sense with the words. So we built the whole song around that. Thats how song writing goes for me. It reveals itself, doesnt it . Exactly. And theres also a lot of depth in this cd. A lot of heart ache, i think is fair to say. Yeah. I lost my mom. I went through a divorce. I had a lot and i was trying to figure out how to do that. And when i realized that when i try to stop making sense of everything, i was able to breathe, i was able to have joy. And so i just tried to stop defining everything and controlling everything. Because im very controlling. And it ended up being the best decision i could make. Thats why i named the record that. If you lost someone and listen to these songs you will nod your head, because you will youre going to perform for us a little later and there is a performance thats going along with your song that youre going to do for us. Yes. Describe the genesis of the performance were going to see. Well, i was watching the tonys and i saw spring awakening and they had these amazing actors that were deaf. There were people singing and acting and then there were these amazing people i thought it was dancing at first. I realized it was asl, american sign language, they were signing.
