You know you're definitely sick with something when Gatorade tastes really good.

Brian Reilly · **Reply #1 on:** January 21, 2007, 04:07:58 PM

I've never tasted Gatorade. Does it taste as bad as Kool Aid? That's foul. So foul, I think the scariest thing about Jim Jones wasn't that he made people posion themselves, but he made them poison themselves with Kool Aid.

You can actually buy gatorade as powder and mix it yourself, but anyways i agree that gatorade is amazing after exercise.

whats Gatorade?

Ryuujin · **Reply #5 on:** January 22, 2007, 11:46:09 AM

Gatorade is the most filthy of all things drinkable, including HCL and other acids.

Seriously, Steve - you need medical attention.

It's a sports drink meant to replace electrolytes and such. It does taste a bit like Kool-Aid, but much weaker. Unless you're sick, or dehydrated, or otherwise really need the electrolytes.

As for medical attention, yeah. I have a doctor's appointment in an hour.

This thread appears to have diverged from my intent (which was that more people would post Very Brief Observations) -- but yeah. I will be okay soon enough.

The short story is that I caught a virus from my toddler, who in turn caught it from day care. The bad news is that it's Herpes Simplex, Type 1. This is the "less scary" herpes, the kind that mostly just causes annoying mouth sores. Only in my case it also caused a low-grade fever for a couple of days, and I pretty much slept through the weekend, and my mouth and tongue really, really hurt.

HSV-1 is everywhere (about half the population already has it) and once you have it, it can pop up again the rest of your life. The good news is that it's never as bad as the first time. Which is very good news, because right now it hurts like hell. I mean, eating Jell-O is physically painful.

I'm just glad I don't have to narrate this week's story.

Brief Observation: If it's 35 degrees or more in GA, torrential downpour. If it's below freezing, not a cloud in the sky.

Gatorade is a relatively decent cure for a hangover. Not as good as a beer, but pretty good.

Chicken pox and the flu are both worse. There are different kinds of herpes. This is the kind that's usually responsible for cold sores. And it's everywhere.

(Although typing "worse" above was a struggle to maintain my objectivity -- this one hit me really bad, and after four days of it my tongue is feeling like it's been flayed.)

Agreed. Though if you gave it to the old, I doubt they'd get much more done with it.

When I was your age, I was younger and more vibrant! I had the energy of two of you, worked three full time jobs, and still had a girlfriend and volunteered 20 hours a week at the old folks home!

VBO: It's 8 degrees Fahrenheit here in Michigan and I just realized that in times not long gone by people would have had to squat and hover over the outhouse from October to March, or risk frost bite.
