A vitamin is a vitamin is a vitamin…

First and foremost, big hug out to everyone who tolerated my last bitching & moaning blog fest and sent supportive words my way. After I had written it, I had a glass of merlot magic elixir and everything started to feel a little better. And reading that some of you calm, cool, collected folks go through those #*%&# moments… Well, it’s reassuring for me, and makes me hopeful that I’m not lacking some critical parent gene. (Schadenfreude is NOT to be read into that statement.)

When I first started announcing that I was pregnant, people’s first reaction would be a big smile and a hearty “Congratulations!” (I’ve always wondered what if the development was something the mom-to-be didn’t feel warranted congrats? You know, like she’s not particularly elated about the whole thing.) Although, when folks would say, “Oh, you must be so excited!” I would respond, “No. Actually, I’m not. More like stunned and freaked out.”

Half of the people nodded; the other half would slowly start backing away from me in a I don’t know what to say or do because that is not the next line in this required exchange of social pleasantries sort of way.

I’ve been told I do NOT have a poker face; that my mood and thoughts are often easily read on my face. (Sofie’s the exact same way.) I guess I don’t have poker speak either.

Airborne. I love the stuff. Tim? Typically, he dismisses it as a glorified super vitamin. However, when illness is looming or has already attacked, he’s quick to reach for it.

Duh. Of course it’s a glorified vitamin. That doesn’t make it any less awesome.

But I guess some folks felt they were duped into believing Airborne was a panacea for their ills.

Read the labels, people. Read the labels.

Anyway, so yeah. If you’ve ever bought Airborne, make your way over to the Airborne Settlement page and file your claim. (You can file either by mail or online.) However, unless you’ve saved all of your receipts from every Airborne purchase you ever made, you can only claim up to 6 purchases @ $6.99 each.

I’ve purchased way more than 6, but of course have no receipts. But hey, $41.94 for having taken glorified vitamins? Sign me up.

Does this mean I am somehow supporting the dupes and their lawsuit? Like, my lips say “no” but my wallet says “yes”?

I dunno. In any event, I’m not going to worry myself sick about it because then I’d have to go out and buy more Airborne for which I can’t get reimbursed since I’ve already submitted my claim.
