I won't bother giving you the extremly gruesome details, but for the last 36 hours or so I've been very ill. I swear I have lost at least a couple of pounds beacuse I haven't been able to eat any solid food other than light soup crackers during the time I was ill.
To top it all off, this morning, I wake up feeling better only to see my mother extremely pissed to find that the car battery she had just gotten replaced is starting to fail on her. She's heading toward goodyear as I write this to yell at mechanics.

Sounds like she has a short in her electrical system not a bad battery, but most mechanics these days don't test anything they just replace parts. Hope your fart came out ok.

Thanks. For the last 12 hours or so I've been taking anti-gas medicine. It isn't helping that much.

Sorry MIB, but when I read this I just burst out laughing. It just reminded me of my Dad and this things that he comes out with (from his mouth that is, not his arse!)

Try eating prunes: they helped my Dad - and don't we know it! HEHE

I don't have any prunes. The gas has passed for the most part, but now I'm suffering from bad muscle aches. You don't want to know where these aches came from. Pain killers don't help, but bitching about it on Flare does a little bit.

No, he means "whinge," a perfectly acceptable word used in the entire English-speaking world except the US.

Apparently, the Old English word for "whine" evolved into "whine" in the south, and "whinge" in the north (Scotland and such). That's what I glean from the Oxford English Dictionary, anyway.

That doesn't stop people from demanding you learn all their subtle linguistic differences.
