I'm hungry for the first time since Tuesday night

[huskerlaw]

and I actually drank 1/2 bottle of water without getting sick.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but could this possibly mean that I'm getting better?

I think I'll slap a tiny bit of butter on my one piece of toast to celebrate!

:woohoo:

1. Wake the kids and call the neighbors!

Well, if I HAD kids I'd wake them, and if I knew my neighbors' phone number I'd call them. ;)

I really hope the worst is behind you. :party::woohoo:

Can Spaghetti-o's be far behind? ;)

[huskerlaw]

2. oooh, yeah

not ready to break out the Spaghetti-o's yet. :puke:

But bread AND butter...I really know how to live, I'm tellin' ya.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Soon you'll be all the way to saltines and ginger ale.

Think big!

[huskerlaw]

6. ooooh, buddy!

I did buy saltines the other day... hmmm... naw, not yet.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Let's make it through 24 hours of bread AND butter.

After that, I think saltines will be safe.

5. Butter on toast...

:think:



You're a GENIUS!

This will revolutionize dining!



I can't wait to try some! How do you make it?

:bounce:

[huskerlaw]

8. Next stop...

Iron Chef!!

Well, see, first you get a piece of bread, then you put it in the toaster...

OMG, wait, what am I thinking? I can't just freely hand out my revolutionary recipe! x(

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Yeah, you'd better patent that sucker

Now — what is this "toaster" thing you speak of? :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I am SO GLAD you're feeling better!

If it's anything I HATE, it's ...:puke:

OH go for the gusto, baby! Butter that toast!


:toast:

[huskerlaw]

9. Thanks!

I almost feel human again! :woohoo:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I am GLAD!

Maybe you even shed a few pounds....but what a hard way to do it.....

Take care of yourself, OK?




:loveya: :hug:

[huskerlaw]

11. Actually, that would be the one upside

I lost 5 pounds in 5 days. Unfortunately, I'm sure they'll come right back when I start eating again. x(

Ah well. I'd rather be chubby and healthy than deal with this crap for much longer.

I'm going back to work tomorrow, I figure I've taken more than enough time off since it's a new job and all. I'm not exactly digging ditches, so I'm sure it will be fine.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I hope you'll have a nice, quiet day.......

Be ready to go home if you get all tired or something, OK?

OK, OK, now I sound like your mom!

But I hate to see my friends working when they're under the weather....


:hug:

[huskerlaw]

14. hahaha, no actually

my mom sounds more like this: "Are you still alive? You got to the doctor ok, right? I mean, you didn't wait forever, did you? Do you want me to fly out there? Really honey, please go to the doctor (AGAIN) if you don't feel way better tomorrow. Did I mention that I could fly out there? Cuz I could. But I'll see you in a week. And if you're not better, you're not going back out there..." and so on. ;)

If I honestly don't feel better tomorrow, I'll call in sick AGAIN. Hopefully not though.

Thanks for your concern! :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Not a problem!

:loveya: :hug:

[havocmom]

15. Can you sucker someone into fetching some candied ginger for you?

It can work wonders. Really.

[huskerlaw]

16. Hmmm, really?

where would I find candied ginger??

[havocmom]

20. Most big grocery stores have it. Look in aisle with oriental foods

It is very good for various stomach problems. Ginger also good anti-inflamitory. There are capsules (health food stores) for those who really don't like ginger.

Very good for motion sickness. Really. I mean it is amazing and won't make you drowsy.

Good to add grated or dried ginger to foods. Helped a pal who had the WORST morning sickness... only it was all day sickness for weeks. Made a chicken dish with LOTS of ginger and garlic. First meal she kept down in weeks and also the end of her morning sickness.

Ginger is our friend!

[huskerlaw]

25. Sounds great!

I need to buy a supply for future illnesses. :)

[havocmom]

27. Went through a couple rough years and was never without it in the house.

It has some good minerals too. Keeps forever!

[yvr girl]

18. I feel your pain

I was really sick in November - not fun.

Feel better soon. Don't make your first real meal a spicy curry dish - it was a mistake.

[huskerlaw]

19. oooooh, dear god

no spicy curry dishes for me! Maybe I'll be up for that next year. ;)

21. Yahoo!

[Wapsie B]

22. Treat yourself to a nice T-bone steak, blood rare.

Just kidding. Hope you feel better soon.

:hi:

[huskerlaw]

24. eeeeeew!

I think I'll pass. ;)

:hi:

[Wapsie B]

28. Please do.

:)

Maybe some broth or 7up would be all for me.

[snacker]

26. That's always a good sign. n/t
