Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 , no hon. You're not orange team qualified. You are apparently green team material. It is possible you will be orange team material...but you aren't eating high fat enough for us to tell yet. In the meantime, rest easy, you have already qualified for green team. Should you increase your fatty food intake, you can request reevaluation at a later time. You'll know when it's time. Yuck. We have lowered the requirements. One vomit and you're on the green team. Aren't you lucky? We used to require bile in order to qualify for that team. But Trish, the captain of the green team was lonely and wanted more team members, thus the lowered requirements. If Dr. R can figure out how to stop curing reflux then we may have to make some orange team adjustments. We do try to change with the times...and lifting the bile requirement has enabled us to qualify more people for these coveted slots on the prestigious teams. Although I find we will be opponents (me being a major qualifier for the orange team) I look forward to the camaraderie that this team spirit offers. Congratulations.

I am a full fledged Green team meber if Bile is the contributing factor. While in the hotel, I threw up about 6 times in a row - nothing but bile. It was really pleasant. I forgot about that when I said I had only really thrown up once. Well, the 1 time was REAL throw up-, this was just bile. No food. It was horrible. Stupid me had more than 1 bite (to test poison control hee he) Of my Son's McFlurry (Ice Cream & M & Ms from Mc s!) And I did pay for it with a vengeance! As a matter of fact, I clogged up the whole toilet and had to call maintenance of the hotel and all of that mess. On top of the toilet problem, I was holding the trash can on my lap while there and that is when the bile came into effect. How nice.. I may be a Co-Captain with Trish afterall. Can;t wait until the picnic . . I think we shoudl all wear shirts of orange or green, depending!! hee hee L.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 You know , you should not have gone to such great lengths to qualify for the green team. It is apparent that you would have qualified on the McFlurry alone...after all we did drop the bile requirement.
