2. uhhmmm,

well,

oh nevermind.

3. Not really but I did, one time, ingest food to deal with a hunger pang.

No, I didn't consult a physician first (what was I thinking???).

[DS1]

4. I hope for your sake that's accurate

Do you wanna get suuuued?

[Montauk6]

7. Well, I didn't want to get caught doctor shopping!

8. try a vitamin the next time

you experience hunger pains. as a matter of fact the next time you experience pain of any kind go outside, grab a hand full of the nearest "green" stuff, throw it into a pot of boiling water and drink it down fast. i mean, it's natural so it has to be good for you, right!?

10. Well, I had the pangs not the pains

For the pains, I grab a book and head for the porcelain fixture.

Again (dunno why I'm feeling so confessional), without a doctor's prescription... could I really get suuuued?

[buddhamama]

11. absolutely

as a matter of fact i am drafting an outline of the suit I'll be filing against you on Tuesday (Monday is President's day- State offices will be closed). And don't think for a minute the Judge won't see through your pangs/pains argument.

12. Would it help my defense if I l claimed to have had just one beer?

Furthermore, that it was the worst day of my life?

5. I heard you should drink lots of alcohol

:hi:

[Pithlet]

6. Uh uh. Coffee.

Caffeine is good for rehydration :crazy:

[hfojvt]

9. absolutely not

dehydration is a serious and life-threatening medical condition and you need to see a physician immediately. Thinking you can medicate yourself with water, or even gatorade, is just ignorant hubris. That's like thinking you can just put bactine and a bandage on a cut. Cuts can get infected, you know! :scared:

13. It's a radical thought. Crazy even...

It might just be crazy enough to work!

[terrya]

14. I've also tried eating food to remedy hunger

Too many times, unfortunately.

15. Phurphoo. Next you'll be

advising us to empty our bladders when they're full.

16. you need solutes to go with that ...

heres my rehydration recipe:

1/2 can of cola & equal part of water
level teaspoon of salt
mix together until salt is totally dissolved

it tastes disgusting but is better than pure water for dehydration,

alternatively try an isotonic sports drink if you can get them.
