The Vent - Part Trois

[The_Dude 1,142]

OK, I understand you Lost fans love your show, but seriously, can't you just leave the rest of us alone? I've given up even trying to discuss why I abhor the show. But without fail, each week, i'll pass someone at work and through normal conversation, they will ask me how much I loved the previous nights episode. This morning, I hadn't been at my desk a full 15 minutes when this lady whom I am friends with comes down to my office. She is convinced that she knows what it is that I need in order to get into lost. Aparently, I need to sit down and watch the first 4 seasons in a row. Yeah, I have a 3 day weekend and i'm NOT going to waste it by watching Lost 18 hours a day. I told her that I appreciated the jesture, but that I just don't like lost, and that no amount of watching it was going to change that. She got all mad because she brought the first four seasons on DVD from home for me to borrow. Sorry, I don't like lost, and I don't like M. Night Shamylan movies for the same reason. It's gotten to be like those religious people who show up to your door on sunday morning with their prosthelytizing.

I've never seen a single episode of Lost.

Don't see what the whole big deal about it is.

All I know is that when I was still living at home I could not speak a single word to my parents when it was on or else they would miss something.

I watched it for a bit, but I just didn't like it. It tries so hard to be slick and have twists that it lost any credibility or believeability.

I'd love my life right now if my morning sickness were restricted to the morning. It's all day sickness. I'm not a happy camper.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Aw. Poor Bern.

Hope it dies down for you soon.

Based on my experience, for Headache and migraines,If you see it coming or just starting, Drink 2-3 cups of Water. Drink little by little as water flows to the head faster... in less than an hour you will feel good and relieved....

I am a lonely Lost fan, no one else I know watches. I don't try to convert anyone because when I try to explain the premise of the show it sounds stupid ..even to me.

Only a few more episodes to go and then you will have to listen to your co-worker go on on and on about whether she did or didn't like the ending!

I feel for you Bern. For both of my pregnancies I had 9 months of nausea, it never went away. The only good thing was I never actually threw up, just a constant queasiness. Strange though, the moment I delivered, it disappeared.

Ugh.... not too cheery Bern. I threw up for about the first 3months and then again for the last 2( no room for food plus baby who kicked my stomach)

The middle trimester was the best. Soo much energy and your still not too big.

I have the exact same thing....I wake up feeling sick and it never gets better. I found somedays it was just easier to spend as much time as possible in bed. I don't feel the queasiness when I am sleeping!! I find that I am getting dehyrdrated because I can't bear to drink as much as I need to. How far along are you Bern?? I am at about 9 weeks.

[Bern. 3]

Im 7 weeks, apparently. I don't know why they factor in the exxtra 2 weeks. It makes no sense to me. All I can really drink is water and gingerale, oh and the occasional orange juice, D:

The pregnancy math is complicated! They say you are pregnant for 9 months...or 40 weeks, but 40 weeks = 10 months?!

Actually, your math would only be correct if every month of the year was February

Screw 1800flowers.ca... trying to put my ZIP code in and it insists my ZIP code must start with a letter.

Its not a POSTAL code... it's a ZIP code.

They're counting the theoretical month since your actual last period ....you're counting from your last missing period...which is a month after the last 1 you had.

Either way the bun stays in the oven until it's done...whether it's 40 or more or less

Screw 1800flowers.ca... trying to put my ZIP code in and it insists my ZIP code must start with a letter.

Bad programming - you should leave them feedback on their website - they should be able to handle an American (yes you:P ) customer who wants to send to a Cdn address.

does the .com version work better?

May I suggest proflowers.com instead.
