The Sickness (Amber)

[Gildedtongue]

Hmmm, seems like you're already allergic to the States!  You ate some Canadian Bacon up there, didn't you?  See, that's where it starts.

Hope you get better soon, Ms. Panyko.  And we don't mind hiatii in case of RL, sickness, moving, and the ilk.

[Arcalane]

(one, as in "less then two")

One, more than zero, less than two?

[Demont]

Drink alot of Juice Amber

Amber here.

The good news is I'm improved from yesterday. The bad news is...anything is probably an improvement from yesterday.  Thankfully my throat seems to be moving from "everything hurts" to "numb pain except when you swallow"  My nose is still its sniffly-runny self...and my ears are still hurting.  My stomach seems to be thankfully spared of this hassle...though my appetite is shot.

Overall its just an overwhelming sense of "blargh".  Though my lymph nodes have reduced which likely means I'm winning the battle.  All in all nothing doctor-required yet, and I've been playing it safe by sleeping/laying down a lot, drinking ungodly amounts of water, and taking medicine when necessary. 

I'm expecting recovery, it's just going to be one of those "the next couple days are going to SUCK" things...and they have.

Murphy, if you are out there...you can totally suck it. and your laws too.

[Zedd]

Dont worry amber..Rember..Murphy too was a grunt  And i will kick his butt too

[Boog]

Wow, your day sucked. Feel better soon and the like.

Bah, back in my day cartoonists didn't stop working when they were sick. They kept on going if the best plot they could think of was everyone stepping in gum at the same time! And sneeze marks on the page were a sign of integrity too! Grumble grumble.

You know I'm kidding. Seriously, feel better soon. Have some soup or something. G'wan, off the computer and back to bed.

Amber:  Things should (with any luck) get better from here on out.  Day one and two for me were terrible, three a little better, day four significantly better, and day five up to now has just been a light cough.  In the meantime, drink lots of OJ and get some rest!

Noooo! Drink applejuice! .....OJ'll kill ya.

[Manawolf]

I don't know, I remember feeling better after puking orange into the trash can by my bed when I was young and feverish.

[Kenji]

And thus the joke is lost.
Lost like a texan in politics...

[Fresnor]

Better be careful, they may turn you back again for trying to smuggle in biological agents... >.>

[Prof B Hunnydew]

Poor  Amber

OJ didn't do it.

[Manawolf]

Dense as a lead brick wall.

[Damaris]

oooh... I should totally feed her grape juice...

If she pukes, imagine the colors. >)

Of course not!  We all know that the cops' main priority is framing rich black men.  Michael Jackson... er... Mr. Jefferson got away because they thought he was a rich white guy at first.  (I love that episode, it's so evil and wrong     )

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

oh my fluff...

Fell better Amber! >.<

[Zorro]

Contrary to folk medicine the best treatment for nausea is NOT to drink liquids.  Liquid is the hardest thing to hold down.

When you start to recover Gatorade or Pedialyte is the first liquid you should chance.

[Shadrok]

Hope you feel better Amber.

[Aridas]

This thread reminds me of an odd dream I had as a kid. I was turning into an orange and I needed pedialyte. I'm not going to say any more on the subject, but I now find it like it was some sort of sign, now that i'm seeing the mention of oranges and pedialyte in the same thread...

I kinda hope it's one of those good signs, like.. I dunno, an instant recovery for Amber.

[Manawolf]

I'm typing then forgetting to hit the post button, aren't I?

[Supercheese]

I'm typing then forgetting to hit the post button, aren't I?

I wouldn't know.

Also, the newest comic made my little sister laugh, even before I explained it to her. Random information for today... (or tomorrow? Comics' date....

EDIT: Hmm create topic with new comic/date format? I dunno... I've never done it before.  I don't think I shall.)

[Gornemant]

well, you know what grandma always said: needs more vitamins 

[xHaZxMaTx]

Let's just hope she doesn't evolve into a Wheezing.

[King Of Hearts]

*sings* you mother get up, ypu're getting down with the sickness...

Well, our good thoughts be with ye.

Sleep it off, 14 hours ought to do it.

[Zedd]

Let's just hope she doesn't evolve into a Wheezing.

If she did...She'd have to argue with herself all day

[Joshua]

I hope you feel soon Amber. Stomach bugs suck.
There one of the few bugs even I have trouble shaking off. ><
My girlfriend hates my immune system. :p I get maybe a cold or something like once a year for a few days, then I'm fine till next year.

[willow186129]

Aw, get better soon, Amber! That sounds like one nasty bug. Three hours? Eep O_o Don't worry about the comic, now we have more time to make crazy theories! ^^

I hope that bug doesn't come down to Texas. o_o; So far we've been pretty lucky near the coast...just a seasonal cold thing going around.

[ShiningShadow]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *huh* What happened what? Pyro is dating Alexsi I need details how they met oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh very dizzy need sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Arcalane]

As for the whole orange juice thing;

When you do throw up, the orange juice just makes it taste nicer. 

*Assigns Mana to Mandatory Reactor Shielding Duty, ala PARANOIA*

oooh... I should totally feed her grape juice...

If she pukes, imagine the colors. >)

I once consumed several packets of "lemonade" fizzy chewits. I threw up somewhat later - the resultant colour? Neon green[/i].

Zorro; it's always mentioned on sports/energy drinks (at least over here in the UK) that they are not suitable for replacing lost water. And you're going to have to drink anyway because otherwise you're going to get dehydrated which is only going to make things worse.
