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!!!!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Polgara, I'm so sorry.
Jesse, I can't imagine how tough it is dealing with dementia, but I'm sending you so much ~ma.
Damnit, Sara, I'm the one that gets sick. I'm sorry I'm not around to help. I find I tolerate Powerade Zero better than Gatorade. Dilute it if you need to. Feel better soon.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I saw that Amy. Somehow I hadn't been aware of Paula Yates' death. How tragic! What a sad family history. I can't help but feel for all of them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh wow that's sad.
Blah Sara, I'm sorry.
Condolences, Polgara.
How awesome, captain serious! Love!
