My essay "An NSFW Review of Portland's Oregon Theater" is #6 at Google for:
oregon theater
... immediately below oregon dot theater... and #8 for:
"oregon theater"
In other news, I'm working at home tonight, but didn't get started until just a half hour ago, at which point I decided so as to point out that Portland's Oregon Theater is a great place to get blown. Ten clams most night, twenty or twenty five on "Party" nights, when the management springs for vast quantities of pizza and free snacks, and more women turn up.

"Suit up before you play." -- Ann Landers, "Dear Abby"
I actually woke up at four in the afternoon - as I write this it's just before 2:00 AM - but took quite a long time to come round. I was reluctant to drink coffee as it's been upsetting my stomach lately, but eventually concluded I'd waste the whole night if I didn't.
The coffee of course made me nauseous. Again I was reluctant to take an antacid - ranitidine, generic RanTab - as I suspect - _suspect_ now - that antacids make my suspected - _suspected_ - Pernicious Anemia far worse.
But I just couldn't deal with the nausea anymore so I took a ranitidine. It was not long before my stomach felt just dandy, followed by dizziness, followed by even worse nausea.
Just the one acid would _not_ have caused the dizziness or the nausea, its effect would be far slower than that.
I lay in bed in the dark for a while, eventually to feel just fine and so got back up to prepare for going to work. The nausea and dizziness set back in, so again I lay in bed, intending to work at home so as to not risk getting nauseous on the bus to and fro. Fell asleep but just for an hour or so.
I wanted some coffee when I got back up but would not at first risk getting sick. A couple days ago I was advised to eat something before drinking coffee, and in fact I usually drink it on an empty stomach so I made a Jesus Big pancake. Just one, the size of my whole frying pan you can do that if you add eggs to your Krusteaz.
("Jesus Big" is Newfoundland English for "Ginormous".)
And in fact just to experiment in much the same way as the medical hero who trapped a mosquito against his arm under a cup, then died of Yellow Fever so as to overcome the skepticism of the medical community, I had a whole cup of by now cold coffee. It's been about an hour and I'm still not sick.
I figure I would be nauseous by now, so I screwed around with my logfile analysis, only discover that some completely empty directories at warp life are getting lots of hits, so I redirected them to soggy wizards' homepage.

Well, for a somewhat odd definition of "live", I suppose that's possible. I mean it's undoubtedly a recording and Jerry's been dead for quite some time but I get what you mean.
As for the pancake, pancakes should be just small enough to fit on your plate with room for the appropriate amount of syrup. Any smaller is an abomination unto Nuggan.
Good to hear you figured out how to drink coffee though. Life wouldn't be worth living without it. I'll add you one more tip too. Darker roasted beans have slightly less caffeine and notably less acid than if the same beans were roasted less.

If I can somehow make it to the Portland Rescue Mission by 7:45 I can get all-I-can-drink black, hot, bitter stuff absolutely free of charge.
They'll even quite happily fill my flask.

Strong != dark. We're talking about the roast of the beans not the amount/coarseness of grounds used here.

If less oil seeps into the water, and it has _more_ caffeine, I'd win because I could drink less.
For me personally, it's not about quality: I'd drink road tar provided it was hot and bitter.
However, I'm _very_ picky about my tea, despite that I don't drink it a whole lot. I have no clue as to why.

It's probably the acids more than the oils that's causing you issues if antacids seem to help initially. Counterintuitive it may be but I find a shot of lemon juice helps with an overly acidic digestive tract more than antacids do. It causes a short initial spike in acidity but cuts stomach acid production down for longer than antacids would neutralize it. You also don't risk the GI damage you can get by running a basic pH from taking antacids.
I'm not any form of medical professional, mind you. This is just what works for me and what I've heard.

It's quite likely that I have a Vitamin B12 Anemia, most likely Pernicious Anemia.
I cannot yet be certain but I think each of my ER visits was precipated by antacid use on top of the PA. This because an acid environment is required to absorb B12.
I expect my blood test results should be at my Neurologist's. I'll call this afternoon.

In my GOOG results it's #3 (no quotes). Under a Google Maps box which doesn't count. #4 is someone else's review.
BTW, it's "A NSFW Review", not "An NSFW Review".

A little history for you kids. Where did the term ROFLCOPTER come from?
It all started with a little game Warcraft 3. The Gyrocopter is cheap flying unit that has a very, very weak attack. It is mostly used for scouting, but technically can attack. They only cost 1 food, so you could mass TONS of them and swarm an enemy base. They would fill the screen making clicking ground units and buildings basically impossible.

Now realize that the first word of the two words that make up "Helicopter" is not "Heli". Instead the second root word is "pter". As in pterodactyl, so the first word part is actually "Helico", not "Heli".

Happily, I've got two - Count 'Em: TWO - ranitidine tablets left.
After that I'm going to be SOL, so I'll have to be more careful until I can sing long enough to purchase some more.

don't use antacid, use citric acid like a poster above said and get tested for Helicobacter Pilori the bacteria behind most stomach ulcers but stop that ranitidine poison. If you really have a problem with B12 you'd almost be better on oxycodone than those, THEY are that bad for you...

to some extent it works to drink black tea and eat oatmeal.
While I am quite stoic about even excruciating pain in the face of nausea I am helpless.

why not use ginger, it is quite good for some nausea. or Gravol if the ginger is not enough. antacid should have no effect on nausea unless it is caused by a stomach pain so strong that you get nausea, cause pain can cause Nausea
