{{{Trudy}}} Maybe get some ginger ale tomorrow if you're feeling up to going out. Try to stay hydrated.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
lib kitty, I appreciate it. this whole thing has been so weird and mysterious. I never have this at ALL and then to suddenly have it so badly? very very odd.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(whitefonted for "Well, IME" and general bossiness) Might want to have your doctor run tests to rule out everything but IBS (because that's how they diagnose, lovely.) if this happens again. I ended up in the ER after collapsing in pain trying to fool my mom that I really wasn't all that sick. Um, it didn't work. And the tests are icky and annoying but it's better to know. I was honestly freaked out by the pain before I had a clue why. And there are meds that help.

Ugh. I sent mine to you too, Vortex.

Mostly lurking...
Poor Trudy and Sox! Bad tummies! No cookies for you.
I am packed. After HOURS of packing and repacking and, well, ending up with one more suitcase that I had planned. Oy. Oh, and I forgot my birth certificate at home, so mom and I have to leave EXTRA early to stop by my apartment to pick that up. Oy again.
Why is traveling so much work???

Thanks. I was hesitant to do this today... do I want to introduce MORE bubbles?
And Re: IBS
About two months ago I had three days of chronic explosive diarreah that raised the IBS flag as well. Oy. Oh dear.
How the hell does a person go from an iron stomach to an irritable bowel? Sheeeit

For me more bubbles means the release of some of the bubbles trapped in my tummy. Your bubbles may vary. Try to drink it at room temperature as cold drinks can be hard on an upset tummy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
You can shake the ginger ale up then open it over the sink, and leave the cap off for a while. I know they say flat Coke and flat 7-Up are supposed to be the way to go for tummy troubles, and ginger is very soothing to upset tummies.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My IBS is almost entirely stress, rather than food, related. Bubbles help me. Ginger tea and peppermint tea can help. I assume you're taking the maximum amount of Gas-X stuff. I hope your intestines settle down soon, Trudy.
My right knee is killing me. I have no idea what I did, except that I had to do two sprints after the dog under adverse conditions. One was in my sock feet and the other in pouring rain, but I don't remember anything specific. He thinks it's a really fun game.
It is too damn cold. It's 20 and they're talking possible single digits. People in really cold places can feel free to mock.
