I know I had a batch with Absolute Vanilla

The other batch may have been Bacardi Dark.

My entire family enjoyed the Absolute Vanilla variety, and not one of us got sick.
Then again, they still have'nt figured out what caused me to flunk all those tests......................

Did you study?

Not enough booze?

BTW---why did Larry Bell kick you out? Ive been meaning to make a trip up there soon. Haven't been to Bell's in like 2 years or so, and with that Always gotta make a trip to Kraftbrau too. Just find a decent hotel, get a room, call a cab, and drink yourself into an oblivion. (thankfully the first time we did that, stayed at a hotel/motel that has now been demolished. Didn't realize how bad the place looked till we woke up in the morning.)

Even my young flying keet (age 24) seems to get odd things turned up during the annual medical, and they send her for tests of this and that....
And yet, I look at the Air Canada pilots who are (almost) my age, paunchy, sleepy.... how can they be in better shape than you??

They're not! They just end up with nothing serious wrong as well.
I'm 100% legit to fly, based on the further testing.
I just FEEL sick from all the tests!
I won't be legit for at least eight hours though (12 for the airlines)

How about an antacid, or pepcid complete, it may help. I have had to drink this before, it's no fun at all.

Thanks everybody for all of your advice.
I'm over it now, I can even say "Berry Smoothie" without feeling sick.
The weekend of unlimited food and drink (for medicinal purposes of course) fixed it.
I really think they should add rum, a straw, and maybe even an unbrella to the concoction. A hospital house reggae band playing non-stop sets might help too.
Probably not covered under HMO, but with BC/BS traditional?
I've heard they even cover a trio of Hula girls!

Glad to see you're back in form, Al!

Looking forward to hearing the "nothing wrong at all" results.

The problem with modern tests and imaging is that it is too good!
They'll most likely say "turns out what we were looking for is indeed fine, but did you know that you have........... We'll need to do further testing for that now......"
I had it done on a 128 slice unit, the same one they use for the virtual coronary artery scan. It's so crisp and clear, they can see too much!
