Steph, I would get ahold of some Pepto. If you do that much longer you're going to end up seriously dehydrated and need IV fluids.
YAY, GC! How exciting!
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.

Hey, babe, we are all about the overshare. I wish that I had some advice to give you.

Man, I just hate to ask The Boy to go out this late.
Well, nothing says *I* can't go.

Steph, I'd send the boy. You need to be close to a bathroom, not to be gross...

Did you eat anything today that you don't normally, Teppy? Sometimes that will do it to me. I discovered recently that oranges are my laxative of choice.

gallstones? Sounds like the consistency I get sometimes.

Again, without wishing to overshare, I have IBS and have had many similar days. For me, it's usually stress related. Imodium should help reduce the number of trips to the bathroom. Ginger or mint tea is worth trying, and things with bubbles seem to help me.

I was wondering if I got a Killer Tomato, but everything I ate was something from home (and tomato-free).
Oh! I had a Krispy Kreme glazed this morning (not hot; from a boxed dozen a co-worker brought in).
DAMN YOU KRISPY KREME!!!!
The Boy suggested it might be a gastrointestinal coup, since at my OB/GYN appt, the Dr. did a rectal exam, which was new. The Boy suggested that that may have unsettled things and led to a rapid exodus. Having never had anything *enter* my butt (it's always the other way 'round), I hadn't considered that that might have been the cause (or a contributor). But I also can't undo it.
My Google search has turned up the phrases "megacolon" and "TOXIC MEGACOLON." I know they aren't anything to laugh at, but can't you just hear them in the booming Monster Truck Announcer voice?
w/r/t drugs: I already take (ironically) a drug for intestinal woes; it's similar to Imodium in that it's meant to slow motility in the intestine. Anything else I could take, including Pepto, might be overkill.
I *think* everything is starting to settle down, so I'm going to take my Gatorade and go lie down and see if everything stays settled in my MEGACOLON.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I kind of gave him the opportunity to run tonight, and he didn't. Craziness.
From which we can surmise two things:
1. He likes you.
2. You're not, after all, dating Bruce Springsteen.
