Sounds like you got some bad seafood.

I got a bad oyster from the Airport Inn in Waterford, once. It made me so sick, that I laid in bed, sweated, shook, and hallucinated for two days. To this day, I swear there was a mariachi band playing in my belly. When I was finally able to get up, I ran to the bathroom and puked, and everything I had eaten two days before came out, all at once-- it had just been sitting in my stomach like a rock. It took my bathrobe and three bath sheets to mop it all up.

I can't believe nobody else has a descriptive food poisoning story to tell..

I don't believe I've ever had food poisoning. I was hit with the stomach flu, though, and that was messy. Nothing is lovelier than exploding at both ends.

well i have had food poisoning many times but never got high from it...man it was SEVERE I was in a public bathroom for a half hour didn't even know what it was at first...thought I got slipped something...

I don't think its common for this to happen thus why I think I came close to death I really thought I was going to die for a min there...

no pukey just pooey

I think thats why I got so high I absorbed allot before it expelled....

My mom has a tin can of grease she cooks with on her stove (unrefrigerated) its a southern thing...so I am very familiar with the food poisoning bit.

<< This hillbilly keeps her jar of bacon grease in the refrigerator! My mamaw never did, though!

It's funny you mention southerners having dangerous food storage practices. I remember hens' eggs just being left on the countertop, right in the egg basket they were collected in, for days in a row. No refrigeration. Amazingly, none of us ever got sick. Granted, an unwashed egg retains its natural pellicle, so it's less likely to spoil in a hurry.

I also remember eating from pots of beans that were never refrigerated--they were just constantly being cooled and reheated, for days on end.

The old adage about hillbillies having "cast-iron stomachs" holds much truth.

wow jinxy, we have much in common...

My family also leaves the butter out...never got sick on that. That way its always soft.

My kid texted me earlier this year when my parents were up for a visit...they insist on the family meals taken together if in the same household...

so my kid wakes me up with a text that goes: 'Is it safe to eat the breakfast??'

Not everyone gets texts like this I am sure...but its amusing.

I told her no, its not safe to eat the breakfast.

Butter takes WEEKS to go bad out of the 'frige

As long as butter is covered, and remains in a cool, dark, dry place, it won't go rancid.
