I am terrified of vomiting. I have had a vomit phobia ever since I was a child. Anytime anybody else vomits, I have this mixture of fear and fascination. I can't watch, I can't stand to hear the sound of it, but also, I will ask people questions like 'What color was it?' or 'What were they eating?' I have to look at it, but I can't stand to look at it.
So this morning, I didn't know anything was wrong. I woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and took a couple sips of water out of my bottled water. All of a sudden I realized that it 'wasn't going down.' I just felt like the water was coming back up my throat. So I stopped drinking, and then I tried to lie back down, but it kept coming back up my throat, so I went into the bathroom and took a very hot bath and sat next to the toilet for a while. I came very close to vomiting, but didn't. My blood pressure went up, I felt this pressure in my head, I felt the adrenaline rush, my heart was pounding, but I stopped it from happening. I usually try very hard not to let it happen.
I get vomit viruses every time there is a football game. Every time large numbers of people travel from place to place, they bring new viruses. It happens every year. Last year I lost a lot of weight during football season because I was getting a vomit virus every single week. I don't let myself vomit - instead, I totally stop eating and drinking. It's like getting anorexia. I was skin and bones by the end of the football season. I actually took a picture of it. You could see my ribs showing through my skin. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.

Google says "This site may harm your computer" about everything!
Is it just me? I am doing google searches for, well, any random thing at all, and getting lots and lots of results from normal web pages that I go to all the time, like Wikipedia, saying 'This site may harm your computer.'
That's kind of like how Internet Explorer used to give you a message telling you that anything you send over the internet could possibly be intercepted and read by somebody. It's true, anything and everything on the internet could potentially get hacked. Maybe there's some virus going around and we're going to read about it in the news. Maybe google made a change and they screwed something up.
