Booger, Vomit and life

Its the King of Thailand's 60th year on the throne and everyone (almost) is wearing a yellow shirt to show their love and support for the King! We were told to wear Yellow Shirts tomorrow for Sabbath - I don't have a yellow shirt, so no prizes for guessing if I'll wear one tomorrow or not. The King is a pretty interesting guy - I found out that he's an accomplished musician - plays the clarinet, saxophone, composes music, builds yatchs (he actually built one himself and won the SEAgames with it!). A very talented guy who is also the peoples' person - the people love and adore him so much - it seems almost crazy, but that's how much an effect on the people he has. Okay, now on to more serious stuff~

I'll be cooking later so expect some pictures sometime today or tomorrow~ hehehe :D

Facts on Booger and Vomit
What's a booger? Why'd I choose this? Its sometimes really irritating when you're breathing and suddenly... you get that feeling that something in your nose is loose and hanging around... it's nose booger! EWWWW! Here are some hard n fast facts about nose booger! Vomit? EWWWW!! Just read on!

Boogers and vomit are gross, but both play a part in fighting germs (as unbelievable as that sounds). Boogers keep stuff from the air out of your lungs, while vomit kicks stuff out of your stomach that might make you ill. What are those green globs on your finger? Read on to find out. Boogers are basically mucus. To save you a trip to the dictionary, mucus is thin, slimy, sticky, green goop that coats the inside of your nose. (Gross!) Mucus has another name amongst kids, snot. Your nose makes about a cup of snot every day! Snot isn't just for grossing people out. It protects your lungs. You see, air has a lot of tiny pieces of junk floating around in it. If all that was left to get into your lungs, they would really hurt, so snot traps the junk. After the trapped junk and mucus dries together, presto chango you have a booger!

Recipes for non-edible stuff: Snot= water, salt, and chemicalsA sneeze is like a booger ejection seat, if boogers, pollen, or pepper irritate delicate spots, it sends a message to the brain, which in turn tells the body to take a deep breath and fire boogers. They can fly at around 100 MPH.

Vomit
Vomit, just what is it? Read on. Vomit is when someone expels the contents of the stomach. You may have heard this instead of vomit: throw-up, upchuck, puke, gut soup, ralphing, chunder, heave, barf, boke, hurl, blow chunks, or spew. Some reasons we blow are: food that really doesnt agree with us, eating spoiled food, roller coasters, and being really nervous. Here is how it happens:1) Your stomach squeezes together and the valve connecting your

stomach to your throat opens. 2)The contents of your stomach raise up in your throat very quickly forcing open the valve that connects your throat to your mouth.3) You hurl. Hurl is green from bile rising from the intestines. Barf tastes really bad because it is ½ acid and ½ partially digested food. ( I am not responsible for any vomiting or nausea that occurs while reading this report.)

Aite! That's about it for this morning! Happy hunting for the gold in your nose
