[QUOTE="clicketyclick"]Snowman, maybe you should go to the hospital. This could be dangerous. I wish you would go.snowman6251

Snowman

If you start getting a weird pain/sensation above your right hip, it's your appendix. Mine ruptured when I was 13, and I threw up more than a fashion model before a big show. It was disgusting, and eventually all I had left to upchuck was stomach bile.

If it gets to that point, trust me.... go to the hospital! You don't want tubes coming out of your nose, and side. It's not fun

Snowman you should just go to the hospital. It sounds like ecoli. Even though you have been eating from the same jar of PB it doesn't mean that a small portion of it wasn't tainted.

I had it a few years ago (made a blog post about it a while ago), and I was so dehydrated that I needed 3 bags of saline in my veins to make up for the fluid I lost.

If you're just throwing up everything you're taking in, you're not actually regaining any of your fluids. I highly recommend going to the hospital if you throw up again.

well that's good... doesn't sound like the appendix.

i'd much rather have food poisoning or h1n1 lol. seriously......

...four of them giving you healthy precautions and one telling you that you might have just started the apocalypse.

I don't want to worry you, but they're also the symptoms of H1N1. And H1N1 isn't accompanied by fever. I wouldn't wait to see if things could get worse.clicketyclick

I already got H1N1. It's nothing special like the media's making it out to be. I actually prefered it to the regular flu. Go figure.

And H1N1 isn't accompanied by fever.clicketyclick

Huh?

Fever is one of the main symptoms of H1N1...

what a bad ass

I want to talk about love again! i missed out on it earlier today, and religion topics suck. Anyways, I'm in love, I've been with my girlfriend for 2 years this coming january, and we just had the anniversary of our first kiss yesterday. The thing with relationships, i think, is that they arent supposed to work without putting work into them. Me and my GF have gone through a LOT together, and i mean A LOT! She literally gave up her family to see me, and while she might live in a different city now (with her dad), we're still going strong. ya, we get into arguments a whole lot, but we make it work, because we know that those good days with eachother are worth all of the pain we go through for the other. She is truly the only person who i can tell anything to (and trust me, i've tested it), and she can tell me anything. We do plan on getting married someday (she's only 17 and im 19), and we are just really happy with eachother. so ya, i would say that i am in love. garrett_duffman

glad to hear my friend. It's a good feeling, isn't it?

I'm actually in the same boat lately....

I don't know what it is.... (even at this moment) I haven't talked, or texted in a few hours and it's driving me insane (like, what's she doing... is something wrong, is she with someone) lol. I'm not even like that, at all... and I never have been. I makes me feel like a weirdo, and I really don't like it. I don't even know why I feel like that because she's at work, so I'm guessing she's busy. For some odd reason,I still wonder though.

Oh well, I still feel the same, so I guess if it's meant to be, it'll happen

And bob, while that may have been your experience with H1N1, that's not everyone's. 1 out of every 6 people who get it die.

I don't know who told you that but it's misleading. It doesn't take into account that almost all of those deaths are people in 3rd world contries, people with underlying health issues, or children.

Any healthy individual around our age will be perfectly fine.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? That would put the death rate at 17%. If a flu strain actually had that death rate, we would be having the apocalypse right now. The 1918 Spanish flu only had a death rate at 5%, tops. I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but it does not seem to be accurate.

Don't try to watch nintendo week while reading CDC report sheets. 1 out of every 6 americans get it.

10,000 Americans have died.

Hey bob, wait until you see the finale of Canada's worst driver tonight.

Hilarious.

that is all i got to say about that.

good night all :)

See edit.clicketyclick

Thaaaaat's better. :P

When you said 1 in 6 Americans had died I was like "whoamg wut".

I didn't get my H1N1 vaccine because I don't trust governments and vaccines, and I'm just generally anti-science.

soo... 303824640 Americans as of july '08.... divide that by 6 and get 50,637,440 ... if 10,000 americans died, thats not even half of a percent. thats .02 percent. garrett_duffman

Oh man, Nintendo Week is funny.

[QUOTE="snowman6251"]I just threw up everywhere. All over the place. 2 feet from the toilet, collapsed to the ground before I could get there. I came home feeling a massive headache and my stomach was aching so I assumed it was hunger pangs. I made some cup noodles but that seemed to only exacerbate my situation as I threw up everywhere. I then cleaned it up with paper towels and not thinking, remember still woozy, I tried to flush them and clogged the toilet.JordanElek

Speaking of which, I picked a horrible time to read The Stand (by Stephen King). I knew that people call it his best book, so I wanted to read it, but I had no idea that it's about an apocalyptic flu epidemic. The first 200 pages or so basically describe the world in its decline, and you know the infected people by them sneezing or coughing, and they'll be dead within a few hours. Now whenever I see a sick person, my first thought is "OH NO they're gonna die" and my second thought is "HOLY CRAP now I'm infected!" and my third thought is "OH WAIT that was the book and this is real life."

Get better soon. :)

So basically, it was a good book?thedude-

The only other Stephen King I've read is the Dark Tower series, which is AWESOME, and The Stand's main antagonist shows up in the Dark Tower as well, so it's cool. I really have no idea where the plot will go from where I'm at now.... but I don't really care. Usually I get pissed when a concrete goal isn't set up near the beginning, but this is interesting enough that I don't need that kind of hook.

So I got my completely awesome mohawk hat from AE.

I had a meaningful conversation about shovelware with my parents today.

It started when my mother showed me the Big Lots add with their cheap old Wii games and I responded with "well if I remember I'll stop by, but looking at this page I can tell you they won't be very good." Then she pointed to the games and went "There's bowling, and hunting, and skating" and I interrupted with "That's the point though, you're listing the activity, not the game name. These games are promising those activites but when you sit down with them the promise turns out bland and not very good. No effort at all, just pure profit. Just shoveled onto the Wii."

At that point my father, who was probably making a sandwich (with that fresh french bread he buys twice a week) chimed in with "They still get away with that? I remember Activision making a name for doing that, forcing people to buy crap like Pitfall"

"But dad, some people actually respect Pitfall now"

He looked at me and said "But where are they now?" I retorted "Well they're the ones who make the Call of Duty and Guitar Hero games." His eyebrow quirked "So they're still doing it? Well good for them."

Hating Activision. Family Tradition.

[QUOTE="thedude-"]

[QUOTE="JordanElek"] I'm only on page 245 of 817, but it's good so far. It has even more main characters than Heroes does, but King does a better job of building a character than... Kring. Wow, that was a confusing comparison.....

Wow. I haven't been on the site since Friday and there were 330 posts. I skimmed quite a few then I skipped a bunch. It went from pop talk to religion to love to throwing up to H1N1... good times.

I am on vacation from work at the end of the week or possibly sooner. I found out yesterday that I have more vacation days than I thought I did. If a few things fall into place I may be able to start vacation on Thursday.

I also found $40 in my computer bag that was given to me 2 years ago for Fantasy Football that I forgot about. I may go buy Final Fantasy 10 for $10 at a local store called GameQuest. Merry Christmas to me.

I love this time of year!

Yeah I was wondering if a ban was coming. I assume someone here reported him.A very naive young man he was. I don't know what he's gonna do, he was a regular here. If he tries getting a different username he shouldn't be too hard to pick out.

I hope I don't get in trouble for talking about it.
