Glad the trip was successfull overall.got home Sun. Very early AM, landed in Charlotte NC and had a three plus hour drive...two flights before that, all while suffering the effects food poisoning... Long ride to say the least. Had a week of tough dives due to rough seas, the final day was the best as the storms had moved through and the sun was out, the seas were calm, and the fishes were not all tucked in hiding from the tide surge. today was the first day I started to feel alive again, the past few days I was a zombie...with my guts tied up in knots, wife is still sick with a cold or a respiratory flue type thing, others on the trip also got hit with a bug. Had some incredible dives none the less, 14 dives in six days with one day of non diving to off gass, it was a good trip.
My sympathies on the food poisoning. I had it once years ago when I still ate animal flesh. Got it from a fish sandwich. I have had 11 fractures from a car accident and spent almost a year in the hospital, had a flu that almost landed me in the hospital again, and had an intestinal blockage that almost killed me…they pale in comparison to the way food poisoning makes you feel.
Food poisoning is hellish, and can be deadly. My little brother caught salmonella once on our yearly alpine ski trip. I was a teenager at the time, so what affected me the most was that my mom fell over and injured her wrist and couldn't operate the stick shift and so when we travelled down to the nearest town or back up, I have vivid memories of barreling around winding roads with my mom yelling "Shift."
They were really, really freaked out. The rest of us kids were more miffed at the idea that we couldn't ski and decided to ignore our parents "demand" and all took up for the slopes whenever we could get away with it.
Not exactly our most successful ski trip, and at one point they thought he was going to die. That's one of my brother's earliest memories, which he described as somewhat similar in nature as when Cartman got aliens who put a satellite in his ..... Soothed later by the memory of the "perfect" barium poop.
"I just remember after all of it, I was taken to this toilet that was very light and shiny and clean. I pooped.... It was great, and when I stared in the bowl, it was pure white and perfectly formed." LOL, it almost sounded like a near death experience to me.
But yes, food poisoning is nothing to play around with. My husband got so dehydrated once, I ha to take him to the hospital where he lay, groaning. The nurses all started calling him "Mr. Food Poisoning" which I thought was pretty funny. He did not appear to find it so.

I remember reading once that a large portion of "flu" and intestinal distress are due to food poisoning. Not sure if it was click bait or real science. It's really hard to pin down the source, since evidently different bugs have different times to become active. I've never been diagnosed with it (and hope to keep that record intact due to the stories I see here) but there are a few places I no longer eat at because of my somewhat irrational feeling that they made me sick.
Nope. The husband cooked that night. Unsurprisingly, I was fine. The husband has a delicate stomach, and can throw up repeatedly for a full 24 hours. If I get sick, my stomach is happy to purge-- once. Remember, I grew up with my parents feeding me discarded snails the rest of them couldn't stomach. France-- land of things I did not want to eat. LOL. Once at a restaurant my brother tricked me into eating horse, then told me. I LOVE HORSES. It was horrible... but I didn't puke.
I could probably get by just eating all the stinging and poisoning insects, rodents, and snakes around here.
I have never given anyone food poisoning.... That I know of. The husband occasionally accuses me of trying to "poison" him, but I have never once completed any action of the KIND! He really dated some bizarre chicks before me, and almost didn't date me because I was too, "Happy, low maintenance, and pleasant." In fact, our first date was mainly him trying to see if he could anger me with his "ideas" but I don't get angry, I start asking questions, and then either debate, or make fun of you. That's just how I "roll". LOL.
He seriously almost couldn't take it. I like to think my siren's call was just too irresistible. LOL.

Anyone know if this latest budget deal has a rider included to change the predicate date?
I'm guessing if it did we would know.
Got my $53 chrome P3 today.
