Oh, it takes much more than a virus to stop me from drinking water. Nothing short of a Jewish fast comes to mind, at the moment.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

What is even happening?
I was so sick I couldn't even hold down the water. In the hospital, they put me on an I.V., and then gave me crushed ice (they ground it up in a blender or ice crusher), which stayed down, when water wouldn't.

NILLY! I'm so happy to "see" you. I was just about to e-mail you to see how you were doing. I've missed you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hi Nilly, how's things? Sorry to hear you've been sick.

Oh, you poor thing. I know it's in the past and everything, but still.

I usually prefer my water as cold as possible (I love that temperature in which water is almost ice, but still not solid. It's like it has a completely different texture then), so maybe that helped, too, even if I didn't know it.
Cindy, are your children on vacation now?
vw! I just thought that *I* want to e-mail you - I have no idea how the new job is treating you.
Hey, billytea! It was a virus. I'm not sure I'd rather face a giant spider or something like that, but then at least it would give me more interesting answers for you. How are you doing?

It's treating me well. They absolutely love me. It's been an adjustment to work and do school, but I'm hanging in there.

(had to post and run, but back now)
Hi Nilly! Hope you feel more better soon.
vw, that's just so cool about your job.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I should steer clear of vomiting stories.
Nilly, continue getting better!
Happy Birthday, JZ!!!!

Well, duh. Um, I mean, that's really good to read! I hope you love them back, because you deserve to work with people you like.

You're doing a summer semester, or did the former one not finish yet?
Hi, Raquel! Hi, Cashmere!

I'm doing pretty well. I've put my profile up on a couple of dating sites, though nothing's really come of it yet. I've also signed up for a speed dating evening in a couple of weeks time.
