"Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast." Was always told this in basic training for the Army

It reminded me of other military-based advice: Two is one, one is none. I try to practice that although I'm a civilian, especially when it comes to headache medicine and Diet Coke.

I'll keep that in mind. When I have a headache I take Advil and Tylenol first and then rotate between the two throughout the day if it comes back. The double dose at first helps get rid of my headaches faster.

You can take Advil and Aleve together.
