Exactly! Like seeing the toilet and realizing you suddenly have to pee.

This happens when I put the key in my front door lock. It's like "GET OUT OF MY WAY"!

I do not feel good today. Nauseated and stomach pain. But all I keep hearing (myself say) in the back of my mind is,

"Well, you don't have a fever and you aren't vomiting... I think you can make it!" And myself smiling so cheerfully.

Screw you, school nurse. Screw. You. :grumpy:

Maybe I'll have a wheat saltine or a mint.

true dat... i had a little touch of a bad stomach last week and decided it would be too much work to call out and then catch up the day out of my office. After pepto, mint, crackers and some juice the war finally came to a truce - but i was definitely more sympathetic that morning to my regular belly achers

I love the 'my arm hurts, it's hurt for a month now' - talk about giving you a heads-up, eh? I had a resident once come up to me, roll up his arm sleeve, and there was a large, reddish-pink, weeping thingie on his right forearm, which the ER decided was likely due to a spider bite. But he waited 'til it was that bad before he showed it to me...
