I know a few things about puking... and how my day went today (dancing and snowboarding)
I'll get to the puking part a bit later...
Today:
I went up with Torsten Ernst, Alex Wishart, Sarah Cunningham snowshoeing up showboat. Had a great run snowboarding down. Then we went and I ate a double cheeseburger. Then we went out till ~3:30-4:00 and practiced jumping. I had a great time.
Then I went home and got ready for a night of dancing with Debbie Maas. I had a good time, but.... the instructor who taught the one dance took FOREVER. I felt it would never end. Also there were a couple of girls in the table next to me that seemed a bit uncomfortable and I wanted for them to have a good time.
Anyway... Debbie got asked to dance for the next waltz right before the class teaching some dance I don't even remember anymore (a cowboy dance I think); anyway... The two girls had no dates and obviously did not want to dance together and seemed pretty uncomfortable. I know this because I was leading Debbie and they were right in front of us. Then they went off to the side and got frustrated because they couldn't get back on and I could tell they were not having much fun. So they went back to their seats and sat down... and waited... and waited... and waited... it was the lesson that never ended.
Debbie was also getting frustrated at how long the lesson was going for a dance she didn't want to learn so we went out to get some water.
While I was out there I met the two girls and I tried to be nice as they were obviously leaving because they were frusterated so I tried some "Myron Charm" which appeared to be partially successful as I said I was going to ask one of them to the next dance but they were leaving. They seemed both relieved and happy that I did. But they said they were just going to go out for a while to dinner and would be back and they would dance with me.
I thought that was a little strange because I knew if they left the dance wasn't supposed to be that long and they probably wouldn't go back.
But I felt that I did a good thing anyway by trying to make them included.
I finished the rest of the night and went home... now the next part nothing related to the first part but another story I wrote for writing club.
When I was fishing I learned a few things about throwing up
My dad was a commercial fisherman; and because of that I spent every summer on the boat fishing. He made me wake up at 4:30 in the morning and work all day.
Unfortunately I get very very sea sick.
Here are the WORST things to throw up:
Raisin Brand. The reason for this is when it goes down it is with milk. However when you throw it up your stomach and sucked all of the milk out of the raisin brand, so you are essentially throwing up a solid and it is very very painful as it comes up and you cannot breath as the raise brand gets stuck in your throat.
Fig Newtons are very bad... because, well I can't actually put a finger on it but it could have something to do with while you are feeling very very sick your Dad is constantly popping fig newton bars in his mouse thereby you directly correlate fig newtons with nauseousness.
I won't eat fig newtons to this day.
Chips... depending upon what kind of chips but the hard corn chips are the worst... especially if you didn't chew them up into nice eatable pieces... because if you just ate them they have the potential to come back up with sharp edges scraping the inside of your throat.
BEST things to throw up:
Tapioca pudding... goes down good, comes up good! And you get to taste it twice one on the way down, 2 on the way back up!
Canned Oranges... a little acidic but if you get the right syrup you won't regret throwing up a small box of canned oranges!
other notable things about throwing up:
Eventually with dry heaving all you do is cough up this green bile and blood... and it REALLY hurts at that point. Then the best thing to do is hang your head over the side of the boat and wish you were dead.
Another bad things for throwing up is when you find a salmon (few are like this) where the insides are completely rotten out, and when you cut into the salmon there is this odor/taste something. Somehow some really bad liquid sack burst inside the salmon and it is terrible inside there.
having fun while throwing up:
Mountain Dew... if you are constantly throwing up try drinking mountain dew... even though you are so sick you can hardly move and weak from not eating for such a long time it can be entertaining as the bubbly soda mixes with your nauseous stomach causing huge sprays of vomit to come out of your mouth barely missing nearby people.
It feels somewhat satisfying as it is really THERE fault you are there throwing up anyway... and if you hit them... well you'll get a small amount of joy for a short amount of time then regret it as usually the other person does not love you shooting throw up all over them from long distances.
recommendations on NOT throwing up:
Make sure the sea is calm.
Make sure the sky is blue.
Go on a big boat, or better yet don't go out on the ocean at all.
The sea air blowing on your face DOES help some.
Also if you can sleep that can help sometimes but at a certain point the waves will become so rough that you will have terrible nightmares as you are thrown up in the air while sleeping. Interesting experience everyone should try it once.
However sometimes you will wake up with barely enough time to not get throw in your bed which is something I do not recommend doing.
So... that is my recommendations on throwing up! I hope it didn't gross you out too much!
And thus ends another boring Blog of Me!

I'm relieved the puking had nothing to do with dancing (or snowboarding). Glad to see you're trying out the Myron Charm! You need fine tune it for the greatest success. ;)
And your puking story was quite...revolting. But thanks for sharing anyway!
You are so very welcome :)
