Well, now that you mention it, I remember I was so busy retching I forgot that my throat hurt. A new home remedy is born!
Sweet! I personally recommend gargling warm salt water. Not sure I want to try vanilla body spray, though it would double as a breath spray, so there's that.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Really, it should be to gargle salt water, then a hot toddy to wash the salt ick flavor out.
Soy sauce when you think it's coca cola.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Ah yes.
That reminds me of when I was a little kid and they'd have those cups of whipped butter on the tables at IHOP. I thought they were ice cream and asked my step mom if I could eat one. Knowing that this would be one way to learn me, she said yes.
Gulp.
It learned me.

Things that are startling...
Being woken up at 1:43 am by your kid who is puking.
Being woken up at 2:37 am by your other kid who is puking.
Noticing at 3:07am a sharp, queasy feeling in your stomach...
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

Oh no...food poisoning? Noro/Norwalk-like virus? Either option sounds horrid. Sorry. Hope it passes fast.
Prolly just a bug.
Those bugs when everyone is sick are the worst (especially if there aren't enough toilets to go around).
My dad tells a story, supposedly a true one, about a man he knows who had a condition in which preparation-H was required. One night the guy woke up and needed some relief, so he went into the bathroom where the preparation-H tube was sitting, but he didn't turn the lights on. Unfortunately, his wife had also used some icy-hot or ben-gay in a tube similar to the preparation-h tube and left it in about the same place.
Imagine her surprise to be woken in the middle of the night with her husband's "cheeks" in her face as he screams "Blow it! Blow it!"
I'd say it was startling for both of them.

Something startling? Jäger.
No way...that stuff is awesome! So warm... (see, I like black licorice a lot!).
More specifically, then, startling is the morning after Jäger. Yuck.
Sounds like the morning after many red wines, for me.
