Heartburn city. Was it the rich food I ate at the party? It isn't from drinking. I had a ginger ale. Was it the phone call from my sister who is located here? A swig of the pink stuff and so far so good.Thankfully I don't have to take it for the other reason. Just heartburn, and more and more frequently as I age. I recall having slight heartburn in the 80's after a bout of pleurisy. I recall having it lightly when I was expecting. Neither of those two incidents compare with what I have had for the past four years or so. Mostly I get the pain when I skip a meal or wait too long between meals. Misery.
When I was a teen, I recall my Mom and sister giving me a magnesium/aluminum product and bismuth for (what was then undiagnosed as migraine) for when I was sick. The medicine had an averse affect on my illness and left me feeling much worse. I vowed never to taste the pink stuff again. Until this heartburn hit me. Now, the pink stuff is my best friend.
Reading more on heartburn, I came across this symptom to watch for:
Inhalation of stomach contents while sleeping.
What the hell does that mean? It certainly does not sound good. The sentence itself almost sent me back to the bismuth. Gross. I imagine they mean when the stomach acid backs up into your esophagus. Not fun.
I was planning on making nacho dip for the game this evening. My daughter loves the stuff. It is a sausage/hamburger mix with a melted processed cheese product and green Chile peppers with diced tomatoes. Very good but very rich.
It is supposed to get above 40 degrees (Fahrenheit) today. What a mess this is going to be. It will melt a bunch of piled up snow and then freeze again overnight. The roads are still bumpy from the ice. Very much a washboard effect as you drive over them. What will the morning bring for the school buses?

I think you ought to ask (all) why you have not been able to attend for XX years and then ask what specific steps you can take so that you can be included in this professional development activity.
Speaking as an expert on stomach abuse, IOSCWS is best avoided by sleeping face down.
Tabor- Yes, good idea. I have another co-worker who is just as miffed as I am. He wants to bring it up at our next meeting. If we ever have one and we can corner the folks in charge all at one time.
B&B - you lost me.
Okay, B&B. After re-reading my post I see that IOSCWS is Inhalation of Stomach Contents While Sleeping.
I might have to try that.
