Clair - I'd say they should bring it to the restaurant's attention - that they all got Really bad food poisoning last night!

Poet: Thanks! How've you been?

I think I need to jump off here for a bit... but I'll kind of be around today. Depends on how the day goes.

oh no I would say to definitely let the restaurant know...of course there is always the option of going to the press too but hopefully that was just an isolated incident

I agree. It just is very concerning. Manny very rarely gets sick.
He is a healthy young man. Only time he's ever really had flu-like symptoms was another time he had food poisoning.
I am like a mother hen when he gets sick. I'm afraid to fall asleep because I'm afraid he'll vomit in his sleep.

I think and hope he will be okay :) young folks are pretty hardy. does he sleep on his side?

He varies. He'll sleep on his back, his side. He moves a lot in his sleep.
I am such a light sleeper, so that was a concern of ours when we started sharing a bed.
He was afraid that when he shifted in his sleep it would constantly wake me (and it did at first).

I am glad that you eventually got more used to it. it is sweet how concerned you are about him

He has done the same for me.

I once became ill (I have more stomach issues) and I was on my way home.
I come in the door and there he is with gatorade and saltines waiting for me. He wrapped me up in a blanket and cuddled with me. <3

awww that is so cute <3 what a sweet loving couple

Thank you.

How about you? Do you have anyone special?

not at the moment, no

@ Cheshire:
Were you in the navy?

My first wife and I lost a unborn baby at 4 months in 1978.
In 78 there just wasn't anything to b done or even to try.

I'm sorry to hear that the Cheshire Pisces although I am glad that medicine and science have come a long way since then

That must have been very hard for you, Cheshire.

how many children do you have, the Cheshire Pisces? if you do not mind my asking

I'm sorry for all your losses

*nods and gives a moment of silence*

Ah. I've never eaten there. At least they weren't eating at one of those sushi restaurants that serves blow fish.

Cheshire - It's interesting to think just 30 years ago we can't do anything to fix what we've pretty much mastered nowadays.

Me neither. I don't know of any PF Changs in the Seattle area, and they definitely didn't have a location in Maine.
Hmm.. I find it unlikely that it was sushi. Manny loves sushi, but his best friend is EXTREMELY picky and there are only certain restaurants/foods he'll eat; which is why Manny went along with them to Pf Changs; it's his best friend's favorite.

And, it definitely amazing how much medical science has improved.
My cousin had a baby when we were sixteen (we're only a few months apart) and the baby was born with a severe medical problem; her bowels were on the outside of her body.

I would definitely be sure to inform the restaurant though and inform them of what they ate. As some people with weak immune systems may not be so lucky to simply get very sick. If it gets worse I'd also recommend a hospital visit.

From what I've heard, Manny is doing okay now.

Oh my goodness, were they able to save her?

glad to hear that Manny is doing okay now

She is going to be seven (HOLY CRAP!) this summer.
Happy and only a little delayed (which is expected, considering her first few years of touch-and-go medical problems).

wow that is so awesome. thank goodness for doctors

Yeah, it's great!

Is the daughter of your cousin called a cousin once removed? or a niece?
