Huh, because when you hear hoofbeats, they're probably zebras. smileys/smilies_05.gif

I vote food poisoning.

I would think you'd be hyperglycemic if you were on the diabetic side, but eh. :B



Food is the only remedy. Preferably fast-acting carbohydrates (glucose tablets, candies, even Cornflakes).

I have a younger brother and an identical twin sister (who is about a minute older), so I'm technically the middle child.

I even fit the stereotype. smileys/smilies_31.gif

I tend to walk in circles. ...For hours at a time, if necessary. I
spent an entire night pacing once-- there were visible marks on the
carpet, LOL.

Happened to me once when I was 7, and I remember it quite clearly
because it was one of the last times I ever v*ed. (I wasn't phobic at
the time, just ...uh, disturbed, haha.) There was no pain or...

Unless you suffer from phenylketonuria, are allergic to aspartame, or
drink 12 cans* of Coke a day, aspartame is pretty benign. A lot of the
"science" you can find online is hooh-hah-- take the new...

They do contain a mercury preservative, but not enough to hurt you. I wouldn't worry about it. :]

Noroviruses are members of the calicivirus family and have probably
been around since the beginning of forever. I suspect the original
"Norwalk" virus has mutated three ways to Sunday by now, so...

I've never had my own space. I used to be incredibly jealous of my
friends when I was growing up because they all had their own bedrooms.
It was (and still is) a beautiful, but alien, concept to...

Failure, driving, driving, driving, failure, driving, failure, failure, driving, and, strangely enough, blindness.



The fear of failure really holds me back. There are times when I'm

Oh dear.

Articles like these aren't outright incorrect, but their wording is misleading:

I don't have much contact with other people and I'm always careful to
wash my hands after having been in a public place-- so when things are
good, I maybe get one cold a year. When my brother lived...

I've been on Wellbutrin for about two years, and I've lost 10 pounds.
But I'm also small (5 feet even, SHORT PEOPLE FOR THE WIN!) and lose
weight easily. As far as the clinical trials are...

I have no tolerance for people who drink themselves sick. Their
problem, not mine. If you can't handle yourself responsibly and end up
sleeping in a ditch somewhere, that's just too bad. Yep, I'm...

Your sig makes me laugh. My sister has a habit of eating marmite right out of the jar with a knife. Haha.

Okay, I'm kind of lost, but I figured I'd toss in my (slightly irrelevant?) two cents on hand sanitizers anyway. :P



Bacteria: 64%+ ethanol-based hand sanitizers (Purell, Germ-X, etc.) are...

Started when I was 7. The horrendous OCD-related panic attacks didn't
start until about 13-14-- v* terrified me (my brother was sick when I
was 8, and I totally lost control), but because I was...

Heart arrhythmias are actually quite common. Most are harmless, but if
it's happening all the time or making you feel uncomfortable, it
couldn't hurt to consult another doctor.



As for the...

That's terrible that they had

Well, shortly after, one...

Fun thread. X)

Here's mine:

When my dad "marinates" the dishes. He'll marinate meat, and
instead of rinsing out the leftover marinade, he just dumps the

I'm a packrat. Anyone want a pile of useless stuff? Hahaha. XD

These days, I'm big on books, minerals (my pockets literally full of rocks...), bird feathers, and animal bones/teeth/claws.

Tanyarn: I've had similar experiences-- feeling 100% better after my
body went through the motions-- even though I never actually v*ed.
Happy, giddy, relieved, sometimes hyper. It's almost as...

I do believe in reincarnation, but I generally keep my beliefs to
myself because they're kind of... odd? I'll just say that I'm quite the

I had to drink about 900mL back in the day. I didn't feel nauseated,
but I felt pretty gross. It's more the texture/temperature of the drink

Funny, I don't ever recall falling down a flight of stairs, but I do
