I seriously don't know what's wrong with me, this week.

Last five days in a row. . . stomach issues. I mean, the kind that have you getting up half a dozen times in the middle of the night.

Now, I'm not entirely sure if I've ever had stomach flu before. What are the symptoms?

I'm NOT nausious
I DON'T have any kind of fever
My body does NOT ache

I don't even have that funny feeling in my head that I get when I know some kind of cold is coming on. I just. . . well, let's just say the bathroom has been one of my salvations, as of late. . . .

. . . and a very supportive, understanding, and non-judgemental girlfriend.

Hahaha, I was there. A bad burger at the Outback, and I had to hit the procelin bench wicked bad. Thank GOD my girlfriend understands, lol.

You might have just eaten something that jacked your stomach up like I did. The only symptom I usually have is my butt exploding.

Well. . . I hope it was just something I ate. I feel bad that I may have been contagious with something this whole time and not realize it.

Can eating something like that jack one's stomach up for close to a week, though?

Chicken messes me up good sometimes. Depends on how wrong it all is.

Sucks when you've got the hershey squirts for a week

Lost my share of sleep this week, that's for sure.

All week is long for food poisoning or ecoli - usually goes in 24 hrs.

Norwalk is REALLY bad - I felt like I was going to die and didn't know which end was going to burst next and had horrible hot and cold flashes following one another with a bad headache and painful joints. I'm glad I didn't have a girlfriend around for that. I felt too disgusting to live with just myself, but it only lasted a day and a half.

The one time I got the flu it lasted a few days, but I only had the 'slipperies' for about a day.

Make sure you stay hydrated and drink small sips at a time. I went to the emergency room for Norwalk (I told you I thought I was dying. I rarely get sick, anyway and this was BAD). They told me I just caught Norwalk and put 2 liters of water in me through IV. Good thing, too as I couldn't seem to drink the water I needed and I felt a ton better after.

Good luck, man.

Nerves?

I had problems in college with stress of the whole thing and I would be sick every day, no matter when or what I ate...

Doc said it was stress related.

Well, not sure what it was, but as of Sunday night/Monday morning it went away. Good thing, too. I would have had a really bad time at Bumbershoot, otherwise. Poor Laurel would have spent half the day waiting outside the men's room for me, and would have made me feel even worse.

But that didn't happen, so it was all good.

Good, glad to hear you're feeling better.

Sometimes I wonder if there's a bright side to the slipperies - when they're gone you appreciate how great it is not to be the toilet's bitch.

My signature agrees with you, Steve.

A joke.

"Power is NOTHING without control" in regards to the slipperies.

Oh!


I'm slow, tonight.

I can't take credit for the term 'slipperies'. It goes to this engineer, Greg, that I worked with. He reminded me of the character Drew from Office Space, but likeable and not as obnoxious.

More irrelevant information ...
