I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker had the puking this weekend! And now is in the office....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Unfun, sarameg

I saw your post on FB Polgara, I can't even imagine the thoughts that roll through when random people you know post that kind of stuff on their walls. Ugh. Glad you said something.

Because books.

I hope this passes quickly, sarameg.

I'm sorry for what you're going through, Polgara.

Old article, but what I found interesting was how long it took me to get through it *without* stopping and skimming and looking for key words and major points: [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am sorry too, Polgara, although I missed it and I do not know who you are IRL.

I think I have always read like that.

I am thoroughly convinced that our deans, while really great educators and really great people, subscribe to the underpants gnome theory of business, Step One: Have idea for Program, Step Two:????, and Step Three: Profit!!!!

I honestly can't remember the last time I had a stomach bug. Maybe when I was 6?

I've put out a plea for my neighbors to bring me some gatorade or something. Still haven't kept anything down.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You might try diluted gatorade, sara, if you have trouble with the regular stuff. I'm sorry you're so miserable.

Because books.

Maybe trying crushing some ice and nibbling it, sara?

I'm rallying a bit, but that's cause I haven't put anything in my mouth in 2 hours. Bleached the stairs. Of course, this will be followed by fever and severe wobbly if earlier is any guide and uhg.

It's so weird. At no point has my stomach actually hurt. Not even cramping, weird noises or that thing when your mouth starts watering. It just bounces everything, with no warning whatsoever.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sorry to hear everyone is sick. Feel better faster .

It looks like I have two ways of reading. Informational and pleasure. Informational is the skip skim, do I care and go back and read it right if I do method. Not everything des verse the attention I give to pleasure reading
