35 Claritin Consumer Reviews and Complaints
A link has directed you to this review. Its location on this page may change next time you visit.
This my THIRD attempt to leave feedback on Claritin's (perhaps intentionally faulty) website. I bought my first package of Claritin today at the recommendation of my doctor. When I got home, I attempted to fill my 2 week pillbox. The pills were impossible to remove from their bubbles and I destroyed 3 of them in the process, (at $30 per box!). I'm a younger and healthy guy and can't imagine how a senior could open these bubbles. I can't believe that your packaging division has not already received HUNDREDS (if not THOUSANDS) of complaints about this! Shame on you!
My husband and I both tried to stop taking Claritin and found that after a few days, we both have UNBEARABLE itching all over our body, especially our scalp and face. I use the medicine to prevent hives and itchiness on my legs when I walk due to a condition but I'm tired of taking a daily medicine. I'd like to quit this pill but can't deal with the withdrawal. I'm hoping Claritin does something for us consumers and innocent by-standards. We talked to our CVS pharmacist and he told me he thought he was crazy because he had the same exact symptoms and didn't know what was happening. After that, I did online research and learned we're not the only ones. This is a VERY common problem.
Have been taking during allergy season for 10 years. Today after taking double dose (20 mg) have progressively become more dizzy. Afraid to stand up so I don't fall over. Normally the only symptom I get are the random weird dreams that are common. No other side effects. I hope the dizziness goes away after I stop taking it. Will have to suffer through the cottonwood season without it. (Please don't plant cottonwoods.)
I had continuous runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, sinus pain, and decided to try Claritin. I had taken it three days (one tab per day) and got absolutely zero relief from my symptoms. I left my apartment to get something different, and as I pulled out a car slammed into me, totaling my car. I cut my head on the upper side of the door and the airbags bruised my arm. I was lucky I wasn't killed. I haven't had an at fault accident since 1978. After reading these reviews, I believe Claritin has adverse effects on a certain percentage of the population. At this point, I have an unpaid ticket, a suspended driver's license, and no car... It was paid off and I had liability only because I have been a safe, commercial driver since 2000. It will take a long time to recover from the effects of those 3 Claritin pills...
I have never had an issue with product availability with this product. Product seems to be readily available. I have purchased in Wal-Mart & several pharmacies. This product seems to treat pretty much all symptoms I have in regards to allergies. I have noticed that this product, as well as any other allergy medication, seems to be more effective if taken when allergies first occur. This product has cleared all of my allergy related symptoms (runny nose, cough, sore throat, headache, water eyes, etc). I have never noticed any real side effects personally. The only thing that I may have noticed when taking this product is maybe becoming a little sleepy, other than that, I haven't noticed anything. The price for this is more than some of the other allergy medications on the market. I usually pay the price when I feel allergies are coming on, because I know that I will have fast relief.

You have to get it through the pharmacy but it is available. The tablets come in a blue box and they are white in color. You can get them in different quantities. It treats very intense allergy or sinus symptoms - headaches, runny nose and eyes and very intense face ache, where you cannot hold your head down. Based on my experience with Claritin, I have not experienced any side effects. Claritin starts working shortly after taking the first dose. By the time you get to dose number three, you are already better. I believe the cost is too high. Even though the product works and works very well and quickly, it could be much less in cost. Allergies are common especially certain times of the year and badly needed.
It is in the pharmacy section, comes in a box with the push pillows or a bottle of 30. Box is blue across top, green on bottom and white in the middle. I had watery eyes, an itchy throat, a runny nose, with coughing and sneezing. Now with one pill per day all of that is gone. I can go outside and work in the yard now. You would think there would be side effects but it is non-drowsy. It doesn't keep me awake at all. But sometimes my throat and nasal cavity can be a little dry. It is very affordable. Cheaper than my insurance co-pay on the prescription version and not having to go into the doctor's office saves you money also.
Easy to find in so many stores. Don't need a prescription. Just get it off the shelf or some carry it on the pharmacy area in all stores I've been in. Had really water eyes in the morning. Cleared it fast without drowsiness. Just clear ease of my nose and my eyes felt great. Had no real side effects. Just took it with plenty of water and felt fine. Some might but I checked with the doctor and he recommended it. Kinda expensive but just like everything else I shop around prices and coupons are in the newspaper every couple weeks to help with the cost.
Claritin is available at drugstores, Walmart, Target, grocery stores, etc. It is very easy to find. There are often coupons, discounts, rebates on this product so it is reasonably priced and you can stock up on it. This worked great for my family's allergy symptoms all year long. I would recommend using it as needed during your allergy season. My daughter is just allergic to cats and we use it for that also. It did not make anyone in my family sleep either. In terms of side effects I am very pleased. Nobody in my family had any problem with being sleepy on the medication, unlike ** and meds like that. I only buy it when it is on sale, or there is a discount, or some special on it. There are frequent coupons for it too, and that helps a lot.
It is available in any store. There are always many varieties available. It comes in different forms to suit my needs. It is easy to get. Relieves symptoms quickly with lasting results for over 24 hours. I have not had side effects only some sleep. It is priced somewhat higher than most similar products but their quality is superior to most.
You can pretty much pick this up anywhere over the counter. There's various quantities to choose from so you don't have to be turned off by the price. It works really quick for allergy relief. I felt better in less than an hour after taking a capsule. I could go for hours without any issues. It also help to relieve the itchy face and eyes. I wasn't going around with a dry and red face which was a blessing. I did not have any major side effects from taking Claritin. The only thing was that it made me a bit drowsy at times. So, I typically did not take it at work. The only downside to Claritin is that it's kind of expensive. When you break it down, you are paying more than a dollar per pill. That is a bit steep, especially if you have to constantly take the medicine.
It's available pretty much everywhere you would shop for allergy products. I never have a problem finding it. It's easy to find and it works great for me. It works good for itchy watery eyes, sneezing, coughing. I would recommend it to anyone looking for allergy relief. There are no real side effects to my knowledge. It does say non-drowsy but things like that will always make me get drowsy for some reason, never really understood that but it does. It's reasonably priced. It costs about the same as most of the other products in that category. They all seem to cost about the same anyway where I do my shopping.
It is easily available in many stores, but I would still not buy it again. It did not help me at all and caused even more unpleasant symptoms that I now have to deal with. I bought it for sinus pressure, pain, dry eyes, itchy watery eyes, ear blockages, sneezing and a runny nose, but it did not help a single one of my symptoms. I could not sleep, had heart racing and palpitations, anxiousness and depressing thoughts, and I have had trouble sleeping since trying it. Considering how unhelpful it was, I would not use it again if it was given to me for free. It did not do any good for me at all, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
It's one that's in most all stores. Easy to find and it doesn't cost as much as some of the other. It's safe for my whole family to use and we don't have to buy so many different products. It treats the symptoms fast and lasts longer than others I have use. It's one I would buy before any of the others on the markets today. It's efficient for the whole family. It has no side effects. Doesn't cause drowsiness. My kids seem to function well taking it. They can use it during school and not feel sleepy. The price is great. There's usually always a coupon for this brand either online or inserts. If I can save a few dollars it's great, if not, I'd still buy it full price.
The product is extremely available in stores. I have never not seen it whenever I have gone shopping, and it is also normally less expensive than its competitors. I had terrible symptoms eg. scratchy throat, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, red eyes... etc. All of my symptoms were alleviated by the product. There were no known side effects that I encountered other than not having symptoms anymore lol. I absolutely recommend it for the fact that it works and doesn't make you feel worse. It is not the cheapest on the market but it is not the most expensive either, but for the quality, and availability of the product it is definitively worth the price.
Everywhere I go, I find it. It's always available at any store, especially during allergy season and cold season. I am always stocked up. Always helps my symptoms. Doesn't leave me feeling sleepy. I feel almost instant relief when I take it and it helps me get through the day. I never have any side effects when taking my allergy meds. It always leaves me feeling better, never worse. I recommend it to everyone I meet that suffers from colds or allergies. I always find coupons for my allergy meds. Even when I don't it's very affordable. Easy to find. I always share coupons too with family and friends.
It is always available and I always get it in Walmart at an affordable price. It has always worked well for me just as well if not better than prescriptions medications. I did not and never have experienced any side effects from Claritin. That is one of the reason I stay with this product. All of these products are expensive but I do feel Claritin is priced within the same range as others.
Claritin is available in many stores. Most pharmacies, discount stores, grocery stores, and convenience stores carry it. I've never had a hard time finding it where I shop. Claritin treats all of my allergy symptoms for a full 24 hours. It clears up my runny nose, my watery eyes, and fluid build up behind my ears. I have never noticed any side effects while using Claritin. It does not make me drowsy or cause dry mouth. Other allergy medicine does cause me side effects. The price of Claritin is reasonable. The price has actually dropped over the past few years. It's an affordable way to effectively treat my allergy symptoms.
I have had so many issues and with it being available throughout the night at such stores like Walgreens the availability to purchase this product is fantastic. I felt like heaven after 15 minutes of using this product. All my symptoms such as sneezing, runny and stuffy nose was cleared within the day. Also my headache was relieved. I didn't have any side effects except being a little drowsy. So overall the symptoms treated were far better than the side effects. Don't drive!! It's a little pricey the more count you get or the different types of Claritin. But it's worth it and I would recommend it to anyone with severe allergies.
Had serious allergies attacking me Trevelyan and at the last minute had to go get some medication and had absolutely no issue finding it in stock in store. Took the medication and within 30 mins started to feel relief which surprised me considering it was over the counter since I wasn't able to get a hold of my dr. I had no side effects from this other than feeling a little tired but it wasn't overwhelming to where I couldn't finish out my planned day. Definitely didn't break the bank as they would say. It was affordable especially for the results that it gave me needing it at last minute like I did.
It is now available OTC, but is costly if needed every day. It is available at Walmart, where I get all of my medications. Some varieties have to be gotten from inside the pharmacy area rather than on the shelf. I used Claritin-D with the decongestion component. The pressure in my ears was so painful. Claritin-D took care of that. While using a prescription, that is. Once it was OTC, I could not afford it any longer. I experienced no side effects whatsoever. The price is too high for me. I need to take it every day, almost year round. At forty dollars a box, that is almost another utility bill. Because of this, I had to stop taking it. I would love to see discount vouchers available for low income users of their product.
It's usually always available! I tend to always go to walmart since I have two locations really close by. Walmart is really good at keeping things in stock but like you can get this literally anywhere. It treated stuffy nose, itchy and watery eyes! Def pick the non drowsy one for daytime use because most allergy medications make you sleepy. I really did not encounter any side effects. Some people get dizzy or nauseous but personally did not feel either of those. If you are sensitive to medications I would consult a doctor as it says to do on the package. All medications I feel like are a bit pricey. But when you are suffering a bout of really severe allergies the benefits outway the cost. If you don't need it I say don't buy it but if you're me and you hate feeling so poopy then go ahead and buy it. It will be worth it.
It's a product that you can find in most stores and isn't very expensive. You can find it at Walmart in the pharmacy section of the store. I am allergic to pollen so during the spring I get congested but Claritin worked very well as long as you don't miss a day. It works very well and helps with the symptoms. There are not really any side effects to this product. When you use it your symptoms are lessened but it doesn't cause you to be drowsy or give headaches. The price of this product is very fair and affordable for most people to purchase. It depends on the size you want to get but overall it is very good.
Claritin is always available at the pharmacy. I have used several kinds/types of sinus medicine, but Claritin is one of the best. Claritin is priced competitively. My symptoms are almost always the same: headache, dry throat, coughing, pain in the back of my eyes, almost like a toothache, stuffy nose, runny nose, sinus pressure, general tiredness. Claritin addresses all these symptoms and relieves these symptoms. I do not have many side effects when I use Claritin. When I do suffer side effects, the side effects are so minor, that they almost do not exist. Sinus relief medication is known to be expensive. Claritin is no different, and that it is expensive. Good, well-working sinus medication is not cheap. Low price, cheap sinus medicine is not good.
It can be found anywhere in any store that sell allergy medicines. It is very safe to use. Can be found with the right dosage and the right amount of pills. It treats everything related to sinus or dust or season changes. It's very trustworthy, works very fast to help relieve pressure of your nose and help you breath easy. I haven't had any side effects or problems. It helps out a lot. Makes you start to feel better and let you enjoy your day without problems. The price I think is very reasonable to buy. It's cheap so people can get it and afford it.
It is available at Walgreens and CVS drugstores. It has enough quantity on the shelves. Claritin is a good product. It alleviates your symptoms of allergies. It treats the sneezing and watery eyes. I am satisfied with the product. The product does not have too much side effects that one may be hesitant to use. The product is effective in treating the symptoms, while other allergy products don't treat the symptoms at all. The price of Claritin seems fair. Compared to prices of allergy medications, it's somewhat fair. The main important thing is the effectiveness of the drug and Claritin is effective in treating the symptoms.
It's available everywhere. You can buy OTC meds like drugstores, Wal-Mart, Target, Shop n save, Walgreens, and any other places you can think of. Ain't gotta go far. Whenever I felt sneezy, had watery eyes, runny nose, and such, I'd pop a Claritin and within 30 minutes I started feeling a bit clearer and not disoriented at all. I've never had any side effects from taking Claritin so I would say it's pretty safe to use. Old, young, fat, thin, whatever. Just pop a Claritin when you feel like allergy ** and you'll be fine in minutes. Fairly priced for the quantity given. Kind of feel like it's priced between ** and the other higher allergy meds.
As far as availability I'm pretty sure you can find and purchase it at just about every store in town including Walmart, Target and and any drug store like CVS or Walgreens. I'm pretty sure you can also purchase at most major grocery stores. It does a wonderful job of treating allergies of all kinds either environmental or pet allergies. It helps with congestion, stuffy nose, watery eyes and all sorts of other problems associated with allergies. I can't think of any sort of side effects that I have ever experienced from taking Claritin for any of my allergy problems. It doesn't make you groggy or sleepy in any way. It's a decent price. It cost a little more than some of the other brands but it works much better than most of those brands so it's more cost effective to purchase Claritin to start than to waste money on something else that does not work at all.
I took Claritin for a week and my nose was still extremely congested and required constant blowing of my nose. I asked for a refund on their website and never heard from them. A total waste of money and effort. I would have been better off eating a potato.
I started taking Claritin two months ago. Since then I have been thirsty, and trying to catch my breath. This morning June 16, 2014, I awoke to severe dizziness. I became nausea, but did not vomit, yet. The second, third and fourth bouts of severe dizziness I vomited. Actually I dry heaved until my ribs front and back both sides ached so bad. In the end, I went to the emergency room, gave blood, a urine sample, and had an EKG. The doctor checked my ears, the canals were a little dry, but clean. She saw no problem there, but did ask about my medications. She said the Claritin, (I take 1 10 mg Claritin twice a day), could be the cause. In the end I now have a new prescription for Acute Vertigo. I took a Claritin tonight since I did not check about Claritin side effects until later. My husband and I agree that I am stopping the Claritin. I'd rather itch than deal with the severe dizziness.

I liked your idea, Court, of the Chinese egg noodles – the recipe originally came from Cooking Light, I believe. And since we are not crazy about mushrooms I substituted with pea pods, which we both love. Boy, this was so quick to make. It took maybe 15 minutes from beginning to end, and we were ready to eat at the start of the New England Patriot's football game on Sunday afternoon.
These are the ingredients that I used…note the pea pods rather than mushrooms. And I did not have arugula to add either.
I sauteed the green onions and pea pods while the egg noodles cooked. I stirred in all the flavoring ingredients while the noodles drained well: low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ketchup (interesting ingredient), lime juice and freshly ground black pepper. Boy, did this smell great while it simmered.
I stirred in the noodles last, and let them stay warm together to combine those yummy flavors.
Then I served it up in a bowl. Two rounds for each of us. Gave us the energy to cheer on the Pats to a victory (of course).
Nutrition Note: I used the Ronzoni whole wheat egg noodles, and they worked perfectly in this dish. And one serving has 6 grams of fiber on a 1-cup serving. Compare that to regular pasta made with semolina flour at 2 grams of fiber. per 1-cup serving.

Dragontooth Children Blues
"Are you radioactive, pal?
Pal, radioactive."
John Berryman (51st Dreamsong)
Dragontooth Children
Cold sheet we all
Rub together
For the heat (not the ions)
no shoe, new shoe, empty (not bereft)
prowl the street mutter back
and growl, again, we do (not grudge, not taunt)
and we mutter
you do right, my man
you do right
don't be bitter or you
hurt your own soul bad
don't be bitter
for your own soul's sake
just be bluesed (Good God, my boogie suit
"just busted into flame")
and be bluesed (my shoes, the very same,
catch on fire, just go out
be thou bluesed like old
shoes scuffle up outside the perimeter
klic-klic echo pass you by this street
of unstrung soldiers leaking conjures
tired curses, questions always
more bloody questions
like why now why this low-down moon
rubs me so ugly
like why now why this wind, this hawk
thing calling: Mrs. Bones
cross my face
and twist like new snow
make a hiss like a stone up top
a sky down below
calling: Mrs. Bones
Mrs. Bones calling
off frozen prairie
and I shiver (like a reflex but far away from it)
and I listen (ear to earth down eons of isms)
and I shiver (as all flesh shall, in the end,
crawl down)
and I listen (for the arco on the downlow)
and I shiver, and …
there's blood on the wheat chaff
hard moonlight leaves its own special scar
like "soul-flight to the gone sun"
there's blood on the wheat chaff
black fallow loam don't look
don't walk out there
til the moon's gone down
But hey, grow my own mouth
wide open like a movie star
Dragontooth Children all hatch
when the weather goes bad
Dragontooth Children all hatch
and march together
all together tight (like Busby Berkeley,
not so much)
in a jagged circle tight (more and more like Leni
Riefenstahl's deco-thug
in a straight line locked, all together
tight all together:
can't kick that rhythm
til sun don't hiss like snow no more
then goodbye, goodbye, Mrs. Bones,
then goodbye rumor, too
taste it in the air
in the moonlight in the dust
I do
around my skin I draw
an Ellipse of Uncertainty
and squeeze some further ichor
pure blood at the vuln (or just a flood of profane
lightnin', maybe)
from Soren's retro "Either / Or" tattoo
staying on right here
I will, between steel
and its own shadow
some say: it's a good place to visit,
but to hide? (or just fake it?)
I don't know?
Dragontooth Children ain't no lack
of Dragontooth Children
come a scuffle up we
search a sky for the good fight
and a glow
and we bring bad weather with us
and our mother is bad weather
and we sing loud to our mother

I slouch toward holy Youngstown flat out, shaking down my '69 LeMans full of spit, sloppy rings and it's own kind of lust. Pulling on my quart of SunLand Gin, shaking that way too, I tune my radio to this griot lady growling scratchy, spookhouse blues behind a harp and poke my tongue out the window just for remembrance – for that last taste of steam, particulate and acid in the used up, but still flammable, factory air. O Youngstown, I remember you, owned by Westinghouse, US Steel, in thrall to Sheet & Tube, your pale sun spinning, blind and hollow, in a brown sky like the palms of Pluto, yeah, like Egon Schiele out of Goya gassed up and gone on something skank and eternal.
Long time, long time Youngstown, you cut a swathe through my dreamtime, flapping your wings like a black shroud at a new Tong Funeral.
That's how I remember, but too-bad-now because the Steel Goddess lost her shine, shut down, got stiff and creaky, and the air now tastes all government approved. No burnt shards of recap, no junkers of the fracked and dead spread out along the highway, just civic skin and soft light, all things pleasant, total too, and downtown near the formal zone of silence I meet this hologram of Allan Watts, shaking like an Ariel with no wings in the wind. Like me, so we shake it down together for a while and wait on slow bolts from Jesus, shaking, smiling, I say: Mr. Allan Watts, whatever incarnation are you working on today? And he beams back at me, his smile transects the dead orbits of industry and need spinning hollow over Youngstown like eldritch crows at work upon a dead knight's corpse.
In '68 I saw Allan on this PBS show and his head glowed through his tonsure like the bone beneath. Even then he beamed throughout the stratosphere and drew a tree of chakras on a screen behind my eyes, and his mouth moved as his hand moved, and he said while he drew: "Love is multipolar, a warm valence, a wave that washes over, and renews …" on and on, as sullen Youngstown sweated for the promise of an early absolution. I'd sleep then, nestled in my ignorance, and dream upon the shiny dome of Allan – like an ice moon, like the blank swollen eyeball of a punchy swollen monkey – until my own dream became the bone beneath his tonsure, became, itself, that shiny dome, became … became … until my eyes snapped open and my own mouth moved: but O the price, my own mouth sang that groove, the one price always got's to rise, especially when you need the merchandise that bad …
… and now the polished air of Youngstown's fallen deep into grace. Far from flare and smoky contrail, far from blaze and orange breath of the Bessemer ovens, the new sun over Youngstown floats, all domestic now, newly bald, why wouldn't it be loverly, and this hologram of Allan Watts chants steady into my face: " … the problem is embodied liberation, the problem is embodied liberation, the problem is …" like I'm steady nudging on his needle, or he's got this glitch in his cante hondo circuits,
and wanders through the dead heart of Youngstown stuck in a recursion loop. It's plain to me that now: the plain folks got some downtime during graveyard shift, and breathe good, too, like Kundalini zombies, but now, they also got no pockets, can't dance, won't walk, don't much sharpen their hobnails on the old familiar skullsongs. All the gears and jacks and levers of ancient Youngstown stalagmatize and rust, and this hologram of Allan Watts beams its futile dream, and chants into my face: "the problem is …"
… my gin's all gone, and the bottle slurs its dry tongue of dust back me, jeering nya-nya-nya, etc. "Still got the try, old machine, or what?"
I Don't Want to Die in Babylon Missing You, H.D.
Almost closing time.
This old school bar sweats blue haze, nods away.
Lady Jett of blue-eyed black-haired bleak horizons rolls
her wide load hips and moans.
One last song whines
through scratchy speakers: hey
it's one of Mama Thornton's, treacherous
and needy. Say, I drag that ball and chain
for real, H.D.
Some dead crazy white girl belts that
tune open, like an artery, sinks a big claw into each note
so it bleeds, it bleeds, and it peels
me back like an onion full of love.
But it's not the great love that
you promised would "slash through thought
and bring back power to the world."
Hey, I'll try anything to make me different.
While my hands unfurl and blow past
my eyes, I breathe in and out on the QT, still
waiting for this lightning
you promised. Well, where is it?
They're playing our song, but no thanks to you.
I can hardly hear it above the color
and the commentary. There's another damn
hockey game on television, and that ain't no big thing.
That's only profane blood, spilled, undistilled,
to feed the profane souls of all us prolies.
That ain't nothing like our love.
Hey there, Mr. Bartender, glowering inside your
little nook of grog and unreason where
Our Lady of Perpetual Unraveling just left you
two tears for a tip. Switch off the stupid TV.
Punch it out, maybe. Jam your foot through
that nervous plasma and release
the harpies gnawing holes in your chest
if it makes you feel redeemed.
But listen, my man, just listen
with true-after-midnight ears.
Listen to that dead girl wail
the only song we'll ever hear her sing.
For real. H.D., you've got to trust my love.
I don't want to die in Babylon hooked up to a tube.
If you were right here, right now, we'd shine
big time. We'd go down slow, locked together
for the "power" and our love of Li Po.
And again, for your neck's soft kerf we'd do it,
and your eyes, glazed over like my own, and green
inside the surf. Pound me open
with some clean pain, H.D.
I know you, and you know how I like it.
Hammer me, big mama, once
again, once again.
The Dynamite Confession of Eraser Grunt
O-you-Dynamite. Now
I worship
You, only, Dynamite.
Dynamite is my uber-pulse.
Naked jive juice
At the synapse.
Take, for example,
The astrolabe of Zam Buk Alleya.
Or the feral medicine
Of celebrity zoom.
All prior artifacts
Dial down
The glow-lip of Dynamite.
Observe closely.
An entire Fairyland of Mighty Mouse.
Bad cat hat wearing
Lance in hand
Slaves, all,
To da' push
Of da' Dynamite.
The strategy of Dynamite is clear,
And insurgent: first, attach
Dynamite to the anterior sorb.
Next, force apart the lips
Of Jallaludin,
Immortal star dozer
Grey lid, next
Flutter wind through a catfish
Spread your cheeks
Next, and squat.
A squeak of beak
And bone booms;
In a dumpster:
Here's a pair of hands
With fingers
Fresh out of history,
That still snap
And frizzle on the sly.
The wait's just too bare,
Perched upon a plunger
Designated: Do It!
Whether or not you owe
Yourself, or just imagine.
Crank down on that dynamite.
Of course.
There's always another dumpster.
2 legs no feet – where-
O-where's the rest?
Even on the last beach
These sick gems
Jut above the sand
Of Malibu Royale
And bleed
Like legs,
Like these legs
Really bother people.
Says the brain,
The suit of serge extortion
Drag, the Dynamite
Cigar. So, here
Is an offer,
In fact, an epic:
Our killer
Speaks from downtown
Sunny Burbank: find
One magic
Get a free
Around the Dynamite.
Says the brain
The suit of famous
Grooties: what you
Handle in a dumpster
Is spoiled
Protein – mutable
Last stand of the Phosphene
Cascade Kommandos.
It is not
A Deuteronomy of Dynamite.
Says the brain
Zooted, cush
In armor that proceeds
A hip tic,
A famous boot n' ear
In a thick red jelly.
When you witness
It is not
A star of terragon
And apples.
It is not a star
Of nannies in Japan.
It is not
An accident,
Either, as
Doctor Brown-Eye Handsome
Installs a ray
For real calibration.
Now each cell
Bears the signature
Of Dynamite.
A child
Of frost
Whose fingers
And worship
The drool of dynamite.
O Dynamite,
You freak encounter of Akropolis
And la-la.
You Constant Prince,
You martyrized elixir.
You bird
Of murk
And barb.
I, Eraser Grunt,
Of mind and sound
And pyre to the stars,
O Dynamite,
Do hereby bend
And kiss
Your furry bum.

An Adelaide company developing capability for the commercial manufacture of solar powered drones will receive $150,000 in support under the State Government's Early Commercialisation Fund.
Praxis Aeronautics has created a process by which solar cells can be encapsulated into a composite material, such as the body of a drone.
Currently, petrol powered drones are expensive to purchase and maintain, and while electric drones are cheaper, they have a flight duration of up to only one hour depending on payload.
With the extended flight duration, the company believes the drones could be used for a number of humanitarian, environmental management, mapping and defence purposes, such as delivery of medical supplies to remote or isolated communities
The support will go towards scaling up the systems and production facilities to allow for the manufacture of full scale solar powered drones for sale.
The $10 million, four-year SA Early Commercialisation Fund provides staged grants of up to $500,000. To date over 240 expressions of interest have been received from entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers and businesses.

Story highlights
- Rep. Franks contrasts 2005 comments to Clinton's policies
- Arizona congressman says a Clinton administration would "undermine the Constitution"
(CNN)Republican Rep. Trent Franks on Tuesday compared Donald Trump's lewd 2005 comments about women to Hillary Clinton's pro-choice policies.
"Donald Trump's words degraded and insulted women in the most flagrant possible way, and yet Hillary Clinton's policy is to allow the murder of a half a million little tiny women every year," the Arizona congressman said in an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett on "Erin Burnett OutFront."
Franks has long been a critic of Clinton saying that as president she would appoint Supreme Court justices that would "undermine the Constitution."
Burnett asked Franks to clarify his contrast of Trump's 'vulgar' words with Clinton's policies. "What policies has she put forth that would support assault?" Burnett asked Franks.
"The left has coarsened this culture in every way imaginable," Franks said.
"It's okay for adult men to walk into little girl's restrooms. It's okay to stand by with a golf club in your hand and watch ISIS sell little 6 year-old girls into slavery for 50 cents. It's okay to kill your unborn children or even your born children if it happens that way, and it's okay to marry your horse. But somehow when that manifests in a presidential campaign, all of a sudden the left feigns this outrage. And I think it's them that started in the first place."
Burnett continued to press Rep. Franks on whether he thought Clinton's pro-choice policies were equivalent to Trump's 2005 comments about groping women's genitals.
"It's the difference between degrading and insulting and the difference between life and death," Franks said.

When you take the steps to create a local business listing, you want to make sure that you get as much benefit from it as you can. After all, your local marketing efforts should be impactful enough to cause new customers to walk in your doors in a daily basis.
But not everyone understands how to set up a local listing in a way that will reap the most benefits. Here is what you need to know in order for yours to pull in the most customers.
You Need to Be Listed in a Credible Small Business Directory
It's a little known fact, but not all local business directories are the same—and not all of them will help you bring in new business. In fact, if you list your small business on one of the local directories that are nothing more than a database, it may hurt your search engine rankings, exactly the opposite effect of what you want.
That's because the large search engines reward local businesses that have credible local citations on quality small business directories. But if your business is listed on a database that is filled with incorrect or outdated information, it will actually hurt your rankings because not all of them will be attributed to your business. We'll address this issue in the 4 remaining sections of this article.
Your Business Name Needs to Be Consistent in Your Local Listings
It seems elementary, but unless you list your small business name exactly the same on each and every small business listing you create, it will cause problems. For example, if you run a donut shop named Frank's Delicious Donuts, Inc. and you include the "Inc" on some of your local listings and not on others, not all of them will be attributed to your business.
Your Business Address Needs to Appear the Same in Your Small Business Listings
Just as your business name needs to match, so does your business address. Here is where a lot of small business owners get in trouble because they don't understand just how important the details are. For example, if Frank's Donuts were located on 124 Main Avenue and it was listed that way on some small business directories but listed as 124 Main Ave on others, it would create the same problems. The search engine spiders simply cannot distinguish between listings that aren't exactly the same, down to the punctuation.
Your Business Phone Number Should Also Match
It seems odd that entering a business phone number could go wrong, but again, unless it matches on every small business listing, it will throw off the search engine spiders and cause confusion. So, if you plan to use the area code in some local listings, you must use it in every business listing you create.
Finally, Don't Forget the Details on Your Website Address
If you have a company website, you'll want to include that on your small business listing in case shoppers want to visit it and get even more information about your shop or restaurant. But just like with the other information you include in your local listing, you'll need to ensure that you enter it the same way on every listing.
For example, some people include the www.https:// when listing their website and others simply use the name.com portion of the website. Choose which style you'll use and then enter it the same on all your small business listings.
Having an online presence is a great way to use local marketing to your advantage, and there is simply no better way to do it than by creating a local listing on a free small business directory like FindUsLocal.com. If you haven't already created yours, you should take 5 minutes and do it now. Maybe someone in your community is looking for a local business like yours right now.

Flash Player Problems
Adobe Flash has a long history of security vulnerabilities; over a dozen have required patching in 2015 so far, three more were discovered and fixed recently.The tech community's response has been pretty standard, despite journalists' efforts to hype it up. Apple quietly continued to ignore Flash, which it has not supported on mobile devices since 2010. Internet Explorer and Google Chrome automatically patched their built-in Flash players. On July 13, Mozilla Firefox took things a step further. Instead of automatically updating the plugin like its competitors, Firefox disabled the Flash plugin. Users could re-enable it in Firefox's settings, if they knew how. When Adobe released a patched version the very next day, savvy users who downloaded and installed it could view Flash videos, games and other missing content again. Flash is still used on 23 percent of the 483,000 Web pages tracked by the HTTP Archive, down from 39% three years ago. Untold numbers of smaller sites use Flash to display content, or offer games. Even Facebook still uses Flash. Mobile users get HTML5 videos, but desktop browsers are stuck with Flash.
The rub is that for users, there's no magical way to switch to some other method of viewing or playing Flash content. Website developers will have to re-code those Flash-based videos, pages and games in the HTML5 language. That's not a trivial undertaking, and some content will never be converted.
As of this writing, all known Flash vulnerabilities have been patched. So if your version is up to date, you can continue to use Flash safely. As I mentioned earlier, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer keep Flash updated automatically.
If you use some other browser, you should make sure that you have the latest, patched version of Flash installed on all of your devices. Go to the Adobe Flash Plugin Update page to get it. (Uncheck the "optional offer" checkbox in the middle of the page.) And during installation, be sure to set the plugin to update itself automatically in the future.
If you're worried about future Flash bugs popping up, go ahead and remove it via the Control Panel. You may find that you don't miss it at all. But if you do, you can always install it again.

KISS is celebrating their upcoming 40th anniversary in a big way, with the launch of a massive new photo book. Standing at 3 feet high and 2.5 feet wide, "Monster" follows the journey of the band through 127 rare and never before seen photographs taken from the Kiss archives. The book, which was printed by the same binder used by The Vatican, is limited to 1,000 copies and is hand signed, dated, and numbered by the band. Price tag: $4,250.
The rockers showed up, sans face paint, at the Viper Room in West Hollywood on Tuesday to debut their latest endeavor. After they climbed on stage, Paul Stanley told the media-centric crowd that the band really hasn't been in contact with former band members, implying that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss had little to do with the book.
Added Gene Simmons, "You've had girlfriends before, right? You're happy that you had the girlfriends and now you're happy that you don't have those girlfriends. That's our life too. They were fantastic for the formative years but not everybody is designed in their DNA to run marathons."
Stanley later told Billboard that the band's forthcoming album, also dubbed "Monster," out Oct. 16, is all original.
"I'm a big believer that when people recycle old stuff, they should leave it where it was," said Stanley, who produced the album. "When you hear bands that are lifting riffs that they had 15, 20, 30 years ago, I think, 'My God. Can't they come up with anything new?'"
Guitarist Tommy Thayer explained that Simmons tried to bring old riffs to the table, but Stanley was having none of it. "It was like, how about this one? How about no?" said Stanley, adding that, "you can't polish a turd."
As far as advice for aspiring musicians, Stanley said he'd recommend that they quit unless it's something that they have no choice but to pursue. "The industry is in such shambles that if you're doing it for any other reason than it being your quest, give it up because the chances are slimmer than ever."
Stanley touched on his relationship with Simmons after 40-plus years, referring to it as, "a marriage where thankfully I don't have to see him naked."
As Kiss approaches their 40th anniversary as a band, the members reflected on whether or not they have another ten years in them. Will they reach a 50th?
"All bets are off at this point. We're in uncharted waters. I never thought we'd be here today. Forty years ago, if you told me I'd be doing this now and loving it and doing it with pride, I'd tell you that you were crazy. What will I be doing in ten years? I have no idea," stated Stanley.
Added Simmons, "All I know is we're having the time of our lives getting up on stage and living up to our motto - 'You wanted the best. You got the best.' This is the hottest band in the world."

The items we made were chosen based on variety and good old standbys that we know we like. After doing a little research we came up with:
Twice Baked Potatoes (10 servings)
Marinara Sauce (we love Giada de Laurentiis' recipe) (1 gallon)
Beef Stroganoff (hadn't made this in ages; it froze really well, even with the sour cream, 12 servings)
Chicken Divan (12 servings)
Chicken Roll-ups (chicken breasts with prosciutto and provolone inside, 8 servings)
We doubled all of our original recipes. We made a grocery list and split it in half, each shopping for half the ingredients, and planned to split the cost in the end. We decided that next time, we will alternate cooking at each other's houses, and whoever's kitchen we are using will do all the grocery shopping for that time. This made more sense, as it isn't really necessary for both of us to shop (and that's the part I hate the most) each time. Also, you will know if you need to pick up general supplies, like flour for example when the cooking is at your house. Also, we purchased freezer baggies, permanent markers, and a few small disposable pans.
I arrived at my Mom's with my groceries at 9:30 am. We started out with a cup of coffee and then got to work. She had put the potatoes in the oven earlier, so they were baked and ready to go when I arrived. I worked on those, while she started on the marinara sauce. We worked along tweaking recipes as we went and making a real mess of her kitchen, but we had a great time. Then on to the chicken divan and beef stroganoff. We had not made the chicken roll-ups before (similar to chicken cordon bleu), and we saved this for last. After a quick lunch, we tackled the herculean effort of cleanning up. We finished everything and I was on my way by 2 pm. So in a little over four hours we produced quite a few dinners for each of us.
|Quite a few meals for a half a day's work!
Our tips will probably seem obvious, but be sure to label each freezer baggie with the item (marinara and chili can look very similar in the freezer) and the date. this is easiest done before they are filled. We find it helpful to fold the top inch or so of the bag down when filling, so that the top section that you close stays clean. Also, the baggies are best for storage, because you can fit quite a bit more in your freezer than if you put say the beef stroganoff in a disposable pan or tupperware type container. Also, this brings up the last point - be sure to have room in your freezer. We wrapped the potatoes and chicken roll-ups individually in plastic wrap and then put them in larger freezer bags. My Mom froze everything at her house, and then delivered it to me later in the week. Nice!
|And the mess in Janet's kitchen went from this...
|... to this. Nice!
Also, we shared with my daughter as a surprise to her. This would be nice to do for anyone who is really busy, under the weather, or let's face it - just likes to eat. She was thrilled! We are looking forward to doing this again, and we plan to do it every month or so. If you have some suggestions for recipes that freeze well, we'd love to hear from you!
