toss'n yer cookies – post 258
My daughter is sick. A bit of a stomach bug and a fever too. Poor kid. She’s been throwing up a number of times during the day since Wednesday. Although, I have to say… she’s a puker. Any little cold or slight fever she gets, she guaranteed to throw up at least once. She’s been like this way since she was really little. My son on the other hand isn’t like this at all for some reason. I hope it’s something she grows out of as she gets older. That would be a suck thing to bring with you as you grow up. Also when ever she gets a fever, it usually a high grade fever. It’s not uncommon for her to be 104/105 F. It used to be scary but now we know it’s normal for her, although we still have to watch and be careful it doesn’t get too high.
It got me thinking about how often I get sick. Well, I do get sick now more then I ever did thanks to my kids. But I used to hardly ever get sick. Maybe once a year…. maybe. I think it’s been about ten years since I’ve even thrown up. Seriously.
I actually knew a guy that had a phobia of throwing up. Now that’s something I’ve never heard of before. I also knew someone that used to be given medicine in a drop of caramel as a kid. Now he can’t have caramel with out the urge to toss his cookies.
How about you? Are you prone to getting sick often? Are you a puker?

Like you, I rarely get sick. When I do though, it usually lasts for a few days. In those horrid times, I toss the cookies at least twice. One time, I threw up so hard I broke a blood vessel in my eye and it was all sore and red for like a week.

I’ve been pretty lucky. I haven’t had a major cold or sickness for years. (Now watch. Tomorrow I’ll catch ebola.)
