[...] to The Crazy That Is Amy, I don’t do vomit. I have established clearly enough on this blog my deep-seated fear of vomiting. It is intense and goes way beyond a general dislike or being skeeved out by it—like, [...]

Wow… lol. Now me? I do NOT fear the vomit, I embrace it! When I was having gall bladder issues, I became so ill most of the time that I grew accustomed to it. I can vomit on command and without using a finger to gag myself. I can THINK myself into vomiting.

This celebration is not strange at all because I am also very afraid of The Vomit. However, at some point or another, after a long, LONG hiatus from vomit, I found myself barfing all over my driveway while seated in my friend’s VW Golf. (He was so sweet, though; he hosed down the driveway after I was done.) Anyway, since then I’ve had about one really awful night per year that ends in regurgitation. I’m not happy. I’m not proud. But I just want you to know, if it happens to you, I’ll still love you. I’d hose down your driveway, too.

P.S. Thanks for the tips! I could have used this info when I was terribly hungover at work last Wednesday. I made my nausea go away by talking to my boss about my job.

Weird, but impressive. I was like that for a long time too. But, something I found out about myself when I was oh, about 19 years old, is that it does not take a lot for me to have a horrid, nightmarish hangover, even if I did not get “drunk” the night before. And said hangovers typically involve some amount of vomiting. A normal person would just…not drink. But, I still do. (Now who’s the weirdo?) So, that paired with having the wonderful experience of morning sickness has sort of upped my tolerance for the yuckiest of all yucky experiences.

Hilarious. I have 2 friends who are TERRIFIED of vomiting/other people’s vomit. The lengths they go to not vomit/see vomit never ceases to amaze me.

You figured it out! WELL DONE. Also: Sorry I chat jumped last night. I was dying and had to fall into bed. Also, Part 2: I recognize this template from the Great Template Perusal of 2009. Aren’t they great?

I didn’t realize Diet Coke worked… I have used regular Coke before and yes, gum, mint gum. Also, peppermints work for me. I do find it funny that you celebrate this anniversary… too cute! Here’s to another year, vomit-free!

I haven’t vomited since I was 23. And, before that, I hadn’t vomited since I was 7. Yep, SEVEN. Stomach o’ steel over here!! That said, if I even begin to feel nauseous, I freak out. Yech. It is a truly terrible feeling.

Also, um, HELLO—-the new digs!! Love it!

Heehee. Reminds me of Ted from How I Met Your Mother – “Vomit free since Ninety-Three!”

Do you ever try ginger for nausea? If you like ginger, there are tons of delicious options like ginger chews from Trader Joe’s or candied ginger, and of course ginger ale!

Congratulations on this momentous anniversary!
