Trudy, poor niece. I'm glad she got to stay and have fun! Good for you with the quick thinking. I was carsick all the time at that age.
I am happily full of chicken enchiladas with mole, guacamole, and a margarita.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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
I'm glad to hear you outgrew it, sj!
I felt like some neighbor of Honey Boo Boo.

Trudy, I'm glad you guys went and had fun. I love those moments as a parents: having fun despite bad/crazy/gross stuff happening.

Trudy,
I somewhat outgrew it. I am thinking though that as an adult, I now have strategies to deal with carsickness so it isn't much of an issue:
a) I eat some (not a lot) before getting in a car
b) I always drive (as a passenger I would be near throwing up all the time I think)
c) and if I cannot drive, I use wristbands which help

Our wings are not tired.
I was carsick all the time at that age.
I was too, but I think perhaps discovering I could not read in the car helped. I still can't read in the car without feeling woozy.

I can't read in cars or any other moving vehicles, which really makes plane rides annoying.

As a kid I read all the time but now it makes me sick. Even using my phone makes me sick but other than that, I'm usually fine.

I have no problem in planes as long as there is not heavy turbulence.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm kind of irritated that it didn't rain. I could have gone to another parade! But then I have to admit that the effort involved probably would have been too much. But then I see that other people are out getting fun and I get sulky.
Brains are weird. I had part of a stuffed artichoke for dinner, though, so the brain can suck it.
