Hope you enjoy Mexico. I went as a little kid, to Mérida down in the Yucatan. It was a church trip, and we all had a great time. Going to help them repair a camp that was damaged by Hurricane Hugo....

Bonnie, I got curious and looked up that problem on Wikipedia. It appears there are surgical and other treatments for it. It sounds like an awful problem and I really hope your friend can get it...

I'm not sure if you're talking about a post I made here. Thankfully I haven't puked since 1989. I may have said "since 89."

Still no chunks blown since 1989 for me. Woohoo!

Unlike certain...

Giving in to the way you've always allowed yourself to think is easy; even though you know it perpetuates your anxiety. You will have to, over the long term, keep conciously guiding your thoughts the...

I think you CAN do it. I felt the same way at one time, but I know better now.

Truth be told, it's not normal or natural to be sick. You're sick when something goes wrong. If you only go by the...

Long story. :)

It took a changed way of thinking. Part of it was throuh learning as much as possible about biology and getting a good understanding of how my body works. That took away some of the...

It seems to me, guys tend to suffer in silence with this. It was years before I knew anyone else felt the same. I thought this was just some weird quirky problem with me only; and no reason to talk...

Male, 36, had it since grade school. Thankfully I'm mostly over emetopohobia, and stick around to encourage others more than anything!

A case of Norovirus is......

"A Miserable Week of the Sputtering Mud-Butt!"

Spewonia
(instead of pneumonia)

Hi Logan. Glad you're looking for ways to deal with your emetophobia! I remember the days when I thought I was the only one with this problem.

The good news is, there are plenty who have got...

I don't think any particular type food is worse than others. The street food is usually cooked right there and you see the boiling hot pot of oil it was cooked in. No way for it to be bad!

I was...

I have a habit of eating that delicious, irresistable raw chocolate-chip cookie dough!

Hi, sorry I didn't see this earlier!

I had 2, possibly 3 vomiting episodes as a little kid. I don't remember the exact details, but it was horrible. I had been fighting a headache for all day,...

One legal challenge to any photo / license plate based traffic enforcement is positive identification of the driver. By use of number plate only, they identify the car's OWNER but not the driver. It...

This is classic media hype. Sensational stories will sell. People PAY MONEY for ads when the news stories gain more readers. If they SENSATIONALIZE something, they make MONEY so they pump up, spin...

Congrats for finishing it!
I'm sure it will enlighten some people here.
Sincerely,
David

My parents made me burp quietly because it's annoying to other people to hear it!

I always think of 'burping' as letting out air I might have swallowed. No more no less. It is a 'burp' wether...

Interesting question! When I was at my worst; I didn't have Internet access and I honestly, truly, did not know there were any others like me. Therefore I considered this was "my problem" so I did...

I'm so so sorry this happened to you. It should DEFINATELY be illegal across the nation to have automatic traffic enforcement. It is crooked and evil and goes against the police motto to Serve and...

I don't think there's any way this phobia causes the brain to lose any capability. Especially not logical thinking ability. I can do some very involved logic and cause-and-effect programming work...

;) I have another way to kill noro! Between $4 and $5 dollars for a gallon of gasoline, and $0.25 for a pack of matches. I guarantee you I can kill any amount of noro in mere seconds with that!
...

It's not extremely likely you'll find norovirus just randomly at the gym! Most surfaces there are easily cleanable and washed often.

As for your question, a little research revealed an answer.

Grace, like most things - the thouhts of riding it are far worse than the ride its self! The basket has high sides, no way to fall out.

Today I had a neat experience. I got to go "crane riding" from a very high platform. This is nothing new for me, but for some of my friends, it was the first time ever in the basket. I could feel...
