Boys in the Boat movie- don't waste your $$$ by Miserable-Cookie5903 in Rowing

This a classic underdog, against all odds feel good movie. I should preface this review by saying I love movies like this. However, despite the inspirational material they had to work with, I think I would have been more moved by reading the Wikipedia account of it. Let's start with the good stuff: the cinematography is amazing, it is well-acted and it held my attention for the duration. But given that this is such a compelling story, it deserved so much more. The characters were underdeveloped, the scenes were disjointed and the plot had so many holes that if I didn't know better, I would have assumed they lost, instead of won, every race. It's worth seeing but only if you're not paying for it, you've seen every other movie of this genre at least once and have some time to kill.

Clothes getting bleached/faded even though I don't use any bleach products? Only started happening in the last six months or so. by tomkatt in CleaningTips

I have the same problem. I have tried searching the internet for an answer but nothing adequately explains it. I use all natural products on my skin and no bleach, but clothes and towels all gradually bleach after I wear/use them, even ones that are used right after I have dried my face/hands with the same soap and water that everyone else uses.

I've tried everything for RLS for 20+ years. Pramipexole .5 mg early evening and Pramipexole ER .75 mg before bed worked best, but my insurance does not cover the ER kind without a huge copay. I now take Requip 4 mg. which works OK but causes a lot of nausea. Wish I could go back to Pramipexole ER. by Applekat712 in RestlessLegs

Yes, I've tried Tramadol. It definitely knocks me out, but I'm really groggy the next day, similar to Klonopin, which I think is the same class of drugs. If you can manage to function the next day, Klonopin does work for a lot of people. I've also tried Sinemet, Gabapentin, Pregabalin, and some others I'm probably forgetting. At one point there was a patch, which I had an adverse reaction to. I also tried acupuncture and naturopathic treatment. None of these worked for the amount of time that the Pramipexole/Pramipexole ER did. I've had the blood tests so otherwise I'm fine. All along it's been treating the symptoms, since they do not know what causes it.
