Food poisoning. I have the sweats, the shivers, and the dry heaves. Yay Saturday night.

Oh, that's below average. Usually in that case, given my stomach, I'm either heaving or making copious amounts of trouser chili.

I WANT to puke. That is what is really getting me. It's just dry heave after dry heave.

Empty tank. I feel like a hundred bucks. /Caddyshack
 
Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

The other thing that I get are headaches that get so bad that I get nauseous and sleepy, but I can't fall asleep. At that point I force the issue, puke, and deal with the headache until I fall asleep. I go from having a pounding headache to having been asleep for 2 hours without realizing anything in between. I suspect that time in between is what it feels like to be dead, because I don't feel a thing for a while there.

Indian food does that to me. I've had to outright avoid eating it, which sucks because it's actually pretty good.

Indian food rules. The last two beer fests I've gone to, they've had the "Hot Indian Food" truck there. Delicious, although a bit spicy (which I like).

My gears are grinding for the people who are grinding their gears over spending $100 on that fight. Even the people who spent $20 cover for a bar.

That was essentially watching a Wisconsin intersquad game while being hyped as Minnesota-North Dakota.

I watched for free. :)

Oh god I get those too a few times a month. Just debilitating.

Not to the point of passing out, did you? Freaks me out when I see someone pass out when they are heaving. Eyes in the back of the head for real.

Nope. Just was mad I couldn't vomit; it was needed. Eventually I did, but until then...ugh.

Good. After some research, we found out that when heaving, it's pretty common to pinch a blood vessel which causes people to pass out. Not sure what the function of that is, but for the caretaker- it's freaking scary.

My wife got food poisoning a few weeks ago- went through the same process. It was a long night.

Hope you are feeling better.

You seem to get this quite often. I've had it maybe 2 or 3 times (in a lot more years than you). Maybe you should reevaluate where you dine. Or how you store your food, or something. Just a thought.

Maybe 3 times in the past 5 years. And different places. I narrowed it down to bad beef sticks from Cub Foods this time around, which I had just bought that day from the butcher department. The other times were from restaurants.
 
Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

I've had food poisoning once in the last 10 years or so. Famous Daves did it to me. Now I go to a good BBQ place, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

don't heat up your stinky cheese in the work microwave, people. The break room smells like an old shoe.

Good Lord but you work with inconsiderate a-holes. Is it just a few people finding lots of different ways to be annoying or lot of different people with their own ways to be annoying?

It's a lot of different people. I also have below-average patience for inconsiderate people or people who don't pay attention to what they're doing. I walked in just as the guy was taking his meal out of the microwave, and when I came back a little later, two people were debating what the horrible smell was, so it wasn't just me that thought it smelled bad.
