Twenty minutes before you travel, mix a half teaspoon of ginger powder in a glass of water and drink it. Or take two capsules of powdered ginger. This ginger remedy has been tested and found more effective than Dramamine... and without any of the side effects (drowsiness, especially). ok, im going for the ginger...” 4:04:06 PM 11/11/03 “i posted that before twiggy made her good point. i will call tonight” 4:04:57 PM 11/11/03 “maybe you have morning sickness ; )” 5:42:19 PM 11/11/03 “Oh, me father was the keeper of the eddystone light Married a mermaid one fine night From this union there came three A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free, oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea! One day as I was a-trimmin' the glim Humming a tune from the evening hymn A voice from the starboard shouted, "Ahoy!" And there was me mother a-sittin' on the buoy Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free, oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea! "Oh what has become of me children three?" Me mother she did ask of me One was exhibited as a talking fish And the other was served in a chafing dish Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free, oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea! Then the phosporus flashed in her seaweed hair And when I looked again, me mother wasn't there But I heard her voice echoing back through the night: "The devil take the keeper of the Eddystone light!" Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free, oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea!” 6:30:21 PM 11/11/03 “What are you doing when you ride the ferry? Reading? If so, try looking out the windows at a horizon. The confusing messages from your eyes and middle ears cause the motion sickness. I also strongly second twigs suggestion to check with your doctor before taking herbals. Some definitely cause liver damage.” 7:19:04 PM 11/11/03 “So, what was the verdict, mapleleaf?” 12:56:56 PM 11/12/03 “today was better, i felt a little sick on the ride but once i got off, it seemed to go away. i went to the bottom of the boat. maybe thats what helped. we will see tom.” 1:33:01 PM 11/12/03 “That's because we had sex in the lifeboat!” 1:35:29 PM 11/12/03 “we did? where the hell was I?” 1:36:05 PM 11/12/03 “The confusing messages from your eyes and middle ears cause the motion sickness. Pathman 07:19:04 PM 11/11/03 Is Pathman implying there's no brain activity involved here?” 1:36:56 PM 11/12/03 “Well, you DID say you were at the bottom of the boat.” 1:37:26 PM 11/12/03 “C'mon Maple! You're among friends here...” 1:37:59 PM 11/12/03 “So I guess that covers the where AND the how.” 1:38:09 PM 11/12/03 “tree, i know life perservers have holes in them....maybe it was with one of them. yes hpm why? (what did I say now?)” 1:38:58 PM 11/12/03 “oh ok, i got it... a little slow today.” 1:41:16 PM 11/12/03 “Just posting a wee bit of innuendo.” 1:41:35 PM 11/12/03 “HAHAHA hpm said trees weewee is a little bitty thing.” 1:42:18 PM 11/12/03 “LOL! I hear dramamine makes you sleepy but....wow.” 1:43:05 PM 11/12/03 “You mean that wasn't you, Maple honey?” 1:43:55 PM 11/12/03 “sorry honey im not a red head anymore...maybe it was a bouy” 1:45:27 PM 11/12/03 “I don't go out with buoys!” 1:46:40 PM 11/12/03 “So treebeard prefers gulls?” 1:48:58 PM 11/12/03 “ok this is just wrong..... i can see this getting very bad,” 1:51:37 PM 11/12/03 “It's TT, what can we say?” 1:53:22 PM 11/12/03 “I fly either way, Bit!” 1:58:40 PM 11/12/03 “thats it, im going home. you people are sick!” 1:59:38 PM 11/12/03 “Some things I recommend to ease the feeling of sea sickness: air the diced carrots launch throat missiles blanch turkey blow bile yawn for the hearing impaired belch the thunder-chunder rainbow parfait toss cookies spew chunks splash your hash sneeze cheeze pop a gastric zit fling pavement pizza liquidate your assets lateral cookie toss kiss the can horf it up hack stew fling floor pie feed the houseplants drain the main dribble phlem call ralph on the big white telephone blow chowder whistle beef technicolor yodel spit cheese scream cookies ride the regurge surge lap lung butter heave hamburger hiccup from hell scream liquid decorate the sidewalk hock bile Do any or all of these things will make you feel better. At least temporarily. Trust me.” 2:08:03 PM 11/12/03 “The other option is the Verrezano Narrows Bridge.” 3:07:53 PM 11/12/03 “But then, suspension bridges sometimes sway in the wind.” 3:09:25 PM 11/12/03 “Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth” 3:10:07 PM 11/12/03
