Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[buffcoat]

I hate having a boss yell at me about how disappointed she is in me and how I ruined everything for her.

I really, really hate that.

Did she jump up and down and squinch up her face?

[DoodleJump!]

haha! It was over the phone, which I think was a good thing.

Unrelenting heartburn. I woke up with it this morning. A day's worth of tums and glasses of milk later, its still here.

Here's a remedy I learned from a fellow who did me much wrong but whom I can't hate entirely because of this gift:  Mix some distilled white vinegar with a half cup of water, add enough vinegar baking soda to cause a spirited fizzing, and swallow the concoction at one go.  As someone who has suffered from heartburn every day for more than thirty years, I can attest that this calms the worst attacks.  Plus the violent burping is a lot of fun.

Is one of these vinegars supposed to be baking soda (or something else?)

[Sarah]

Yes.  The second vinegar should be baking soda.  A thousand apologies.

[oncegompedtwiceshy]

Gonna try it soley for the violent burps

[Sarah]

You won't regret it.  Mix up a batch and go to a solemn church service.  It'll be a läff.

I believe I already recommended just licking some Baking Soda from the palm of your hand.
Not much jolly belching, however, if you do it before a mirror you can watch yourself make funny faces.
Then you feel better.
Also avoid raw vegetables for a couple weeks.  Raw foods cause your stomach to build up extra acid to break down them down. Frequently the extra acid sneaks up to dissolve the lining of your esophagus.

Astute analysis Doc. I recently became a vegetarian and my lunches for the past few weeks have consisted of salads made of raw fruits or vegetables. It was either that or the malt liquor I was drinking monday night. Your insight will not go unnoticed.

Highly doubtful that the malt liquor (after such a short period of indulgence) would do that to you.

How much is "some"?

Dave, "Some" =  about size of a Buffalo nickel.

[fonpr]

Is it ironic that I'm listening to Tom play a song I really like from the She & Him CD?  Considering it's the thing that prompted me to start this thread? 

Not irony.  Poetic justice.

[Sarah]

How much is "some"?

A couple of teaspoons, maybe?  I've never measured.
