I'm definitely a dark brunette - but my hair bleaches to bright red when I spend time in the sun... so, I've always considered myself an "honorary" redhead...

Novocaine does zippo for me... at least in my mouth - they can pump multiple needles into me, and my entire face will get tingly - but I can still feel my face enough to feel pain, and it does absolutely nothing for numbing my mouth...

I definitely need more "knockout meds" than the average person - having pulled the tranquilizer IV out of my arm three times while getting my wisdom teeth removed as a teen...

Also Tylenol doesn't do diddly squat for me other than reduce a fever... Aleve is the only thing that works - and in most cases, it only takes the edge off of pain... to get rid of owwies altogether, I have to take a prescription level dose...

Luckily I've also got an amazingly high pain tolerance...
