We really need to watch what we eat, if we don't want to get that unnatural green glow. My friend Ann and I went to our fave Chinese buffet restaurant this evening. I had some fish that looked like pale salmon, that was repeating on me, whilst driving home... I had even started feeling a little dizzy in the restaurant. Along about 10:30, I started to get physically ill - by 11:30 or so, I'd thrown up about 5 times, the last being the worst. It's 2:00 a.m. now, and I haven't been able to sleep. So, I started listening to George B. Wells on KFI 640 AM's Coast to Coast show, during which it was mentioned how the ocean around the Fukijima disaster area and the radioactivity is showing up in the foods being distributed from that area...it was also mentioned that this may be the explanation for this mysterious stomach flu that people are coming down with, so my eyes opened wide at that and couldn't help but wonder if I'd been the victim of some radioactive fishies this evening. I think this is mighty important, so since this happened to me tonight, I thought it was worth sharing. If it puts your mind at ease, I have dear friends who live in Japan and have been undoubtedly eating radioactive fish for two years, and other radioactive foods; none of them report such illness as you are describing. I asked my girlfriend if she was worried about it, and she said something like, "We Japanese are stoic about such things, what's done is done, there's no use worrying about it." Then she admitted she was more worried about her children (long term health effects) than herself. Yet it seems her own children are just as zen about it too, as her son, who's training to be a doctor, when given the opportunity to intern in France, chose instead to stay in Japan and in fact to go into the area near Fukishima and help out there. I'm no expert but I suspect the more likely story is that you have norovirus, which probably did not come from the restaurant, since the incubation is 24-48 hours. Norovirus is not that mysterious, but it does spread very easily and could come from food handlers at a restaurant, or a door knob. If it is norovirus, it's a retched experience (heh) but the good news is that the vomiting should be all over within 24 hours. As for contaminated fish, to be honest, I'm more concerned about eating fish from the Gulf. Eating a fish contaminated with corexit would probably make a tummy upset, and surely it can't taste very good either. Blech.

Eppur si muove - "And yet it moves" is a phrase said to have been uttered before the Inquisition by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei in 1633 after being forced to recant his "belief" that the earth moves around the sun. In this context, the implication of the phrase is: despite this recantation, the Church's proclamations to the contrary, or any other conviction or doctrine of men, the Earth does, in fact, move around the sun, and not vice versa. As such, the phrase is used today as a sort of pithy retort implying that "it doesn't matter what you believe; these are the facts". I love this place, I learn something new every day!

it might be an easy fix. go to control panel >> uninstall, then arrange by "installed on", see if there's any recent stuff that you don't recognize, especially on the day that guy was messing with your machine You don't understand how computer ill-iterate I am when it comes to fixing and finding things. Heck, I scan stuff onto my computer and it takes me a while to figure out where they are! I'm slowly getting more adept, but far from average. I almost forgot I'd gotten a year's worth of Geeksquad so I called 'em up and they fixed it for me via remote. Plus gave my computer a tune-up, although things are always disrupted somewhat from the way I had them.

I guess one would have to be completely stoic when they live at ground zero / just around the block from it - As far as I can figure, won't this be a major game changer in a few years for the whole earth, though? Not that there's much to be done about it, now. What is corexit?

I prolly could have walked you through it, but I'm glad to hear your geek-squad subscription was still active.

Corexit is the chemical they dumped in the gulf to help disperse the oil. It is highly toxic. If we are going extinct it looks like it's going to be death by a thousand cuts.

Well, the difference with Chernobyl is landlocked, and it wasn't exposed any of the big oceans - I think that may make a difference. The radiation being spread by air is bad enough, but you've got both now, with Fukushima......And, the cuts keep getting more egregious.

I had salmon tonight and thought of you. Also, this thread reminds me, the other night, I had very vivid dreams all night long (rare for me). I dreamed of a tsunami, that hit the east coast, and went as far inland as Ohio. Strange dream. Did you know there was a river "tsunami" in India recently that killed as many people as were killed in Japan?

I still feel sort of listless - it stopped last night at #5 (the worst) - I didn't get to sleep until like 4 a.m. Thanks for asking. I'm unsure if I saw the story about the river tsunami in India....rings a bell for some reason. I forget how many were killed in Japan, but I know it's a lot! I'm thinking that maybe I got sick, too because it's so hot out here and the heat was bothering me. Do you cook the fish or your hubby? I had an interesting dream about a $10-bill in the rain, Lol.

Glad the worst is over - and hope you feel much better tomorrow after a good night's sleep! The story wasn't publicized much here in the U.S. It was in Uttarakhand. An acquaintance here has family in the area and she was telling me about it a few weeks ago. Flooding is common in the area -- but nothing like this! They are still finding bodies. Estimates of death toll could be as high as 10,000. Some of the reports were speculating that a lake glacier melted (due to global warming) and gave loose to the river tsunami. We went out to dinner tonight with a friend who was in town visiting - the salmon was on the menu and as soon as I saw it, I thought of you, and knew I had to order it!
