Oh wow that one sounds kinda like punishment. Haha.

I guess the Apple and cinnamon gives flavor and all that good stuff fruits have like fiber, while the water content keeps you hydrated. It’s also quite filling without being harsh on the stomach, and you can just eat slowly with a spoon.

Hmm...Apple and cinnamon. I have an ample supply of both, so I'll likely try that next time I'm sick.

As for the stomach flu, Sprite or Ginger Ale were the beverages of choice.

I've put myself on a game buying embargo for this month, but I'm so close to caving for both Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime and Ghost Trick on Amazon....Ugh. #FirstWorldGamerProblems

I've lost all semblance of self control in that regard. I bought Astral Chain on Friday purely out of impulse, and I ordered Spyro last night on Amazon cause it was cheap as heck. They are added to the growing pile of games I haven't played yet. lol

How's spyro on switch? I recently started it on xbox, so I don't think I'll be getting it on switch but the screenshots look nice.

I haven't started it yet. I ordered it last night and it's due to arrive sometime today. Might already be in my mailbox, but I'm BSing at work and right now so I don't know.

I'm just sitting here trying not to laugh at my coworkers who are almost as frightened as little kids. There is an extremely mild thunderstorm going on right now. But this part of Japan like never gets thunder and lightning. Compared to the storms I was used in in Michigan growing up this is absolutely nothing. But they are really scared.

But like, guys, a rumble every 3-5 minutes and some rain is really not a big deal.

Um, guys...
I found funny billboard at my place this evening.
Just take a look. 🤣🤣🤣

I will translate those Indonesian words.

BOZEN on that picture was a slang of BOSAN in Indonesian language. Bosan = Bored in English.

BORED
to drive alone in traffic jam ?

Call GrabCar
Just relax, you'll be arrived !

@NEStalgia With such a non-answer, you should definitely consider a career in politics...

@Heavyarms55 Err, coca cola is pretty much a bottle of acid. Great for de-greasing engines and de-thatching lawns. That's pure torture.

@Heavyarms55 LOL, I'm not even from the midwest but I get those same storms. That's funny, I'd think Japan, given the geography, would have tons of storms. That they're so unused to it is hilarious. For me, the trees bend sideways, I see the arc horizontal over my head in pure purple flashes, the ground jumps half an inch, and I just plug my ears and keep grilling.... It's just another Monday.

@ThanosReXXX Well, let me just say this about that.....

Well they did used to sell Coca Cola as a medicine back in the old days.

@Anti-Matter Her powers include making things boring by just being around and putting people to sleep with her singing outbursts.

@StableInvadeel So the apples are whole or slices? And the cinnamon goes in the water while boiling the apple?
Also any time of being boiled or until being soft?
I am sorry for the many questions but I really want to try that for upset stomach!

@Zuljaras the Apple would be whole, and yes the cinnamon would be there for the whole process, until the Apple is soft. Serve in a bowl so you can include some of the liquid.

I guess if you core or slice the Apple it could be cooked faster. Though I’ve never tried slicing it.

Also... See how my iPad capitalizes “Apple” for me.... How nice of it.

@StableInvadeel Thank you for the info so much!!!

In other news ... I cracked again ... I ordered Terraria for the Switch ... it will probably come tomorrow. Damn!

@Zuljaras yw! It’s honestly nice to see interest in something so nostalgic to me.

As for impulse buys, I preordered an accessory for the switch lite, Hori’s bundle that comes with a rigid whole unit armor and a screen protector... Though I’m not sure if the armor is such a good idea, these tend to be flimsy, but there’s not much information to go about.

@StableInvadeel I often have upset stomach due to my unhealthy eating habits so your nostalgic method sounds delicious and I hope it helps me

One step in the right direction! Wohoooo!!!

Well then, I hope it helps you!

I'm probably gonna cave tonight or tomorrow with those impulse purchases. Maybe the Nintendo Direct and Raid Hour in PoGo this evening will take my mind off of it. I could also use the excuse that my cake day occurs this month....

@Heavyarms55 I'd be curious to see how your coworkers would fare in a volatile Midwestern summer. We've had some nasty storms this year in my neck of the woods. One night last month was particularly bad. A lot of wind damage, ample thunder and lightning, and a funnel cloud sighting over a nearby town (No touchdown thankfully).

I'm tellin ya, deep southeast is where it's at. No quakes, no wildfires, no snow storms, no tornado season. Hurricanes are a thing, but typically far enough away. Just heat and humidity. And mosquitoes. Oh, and fire ants. And swamps...gators...wasps....ok nevermind.

Still no real storms yet, supposed to kick off an hour before the direct. Hold it together, Georgia Power!

@HobbitGamer You forgot to mention quicksand and sinkholes...
(come to think of it, probably rattlers and some other predatory wildlife as well)

@Tyranexx I know how it feels. In July, a tornado missed my city by about 3 miles! The clouds outside my house were practically RED AND ORANGE. A small town NE of me also got hit by 100mph winds. They called it wind but my mom thought it was another tornado as we went through that town to get to our campsite. There were basically almost whole trees in the road after 2 days.
