 How do I get over a hangover?  Ask an expert. By Sara Reistad- Long for Lifetimetv. com From Lifetimetv. com Rethink your drinks!
 Q:  Between work and family parties,  I always wind up with hangovers.  Is there a quickie remedy for recovering from drinking too much alcohol?  A:  "
Most experts think that a hangover is a mild form of alcohol withdrawal,  which distresses the body,  leads to dehydration and makes you feel awful,  says Dr.  Robert Swift,  M.
D.  Ph. D.  associate director of the Brown University Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies.  Below,  we've compiled a list of foolproof tips to help ease you through that painful morning after:
 Drink lots of water.  Alcohol is a diuretic;  it dehydrates our cells,  causing us to feel tired,  headachy and generally out of sorts.  The sooner you can start replenishing your supply of H20,
 the faster you'll start to feel healthy again.  Get plenty of salt and potassium.  Heavy drinking purges the body of these two important electrolytes,  which together help transport and distribute nutrients and water throughout your body.  To restock your body with these two essentials,  try a sports drink (
most contain ample amounts of both sodium and potassium)  or eat a potassium- rich kiwi or banana and have a serving of broth made from bouillon cubes.  Fill up on fruit juice.  Fruit sugar ( fructose)
 is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream,  so any kind of juice will give your energy level a big boost -  fast.  In addition,  some studies have shown fructose to play a part in speeding up the rate at which the body eliminates toxins -  including those from alcohol.
 Orange and tomato juices are good bets,  since both are also rich in nutrients such as vitamin C.  Don't forget your B and C vitamins.  Supplies of these two are severely depleted when you drink -  thanks again to alcohol's diuretic effect -  so when you're consuming alcohol,
 your system needs these vitamins more than ever.  There's no time like the morning after a big night out to load up on supplements.  Better yet,  get your dose naturally in a glass of fresh- squeezed fruit juice.  Caffeinate or pop a painkiller.
 Alcohol causes blood vessels to swell,  which can also lead to serious head throbbing.  Caffeine counteracts that,  but since it's also a diuretic,  limit yourself to just one cup of coffee.  If that doesn't work,
 use ibuprofen,  but skip aspirin -  it could help heal your pounding head,  but this over- the- counter drug is known for wreaking havoc on a tender tummy.
 Stick to light,  low- fat foods.  Because alcohol can upset your digestive system,  it's important to line your stomach with food while you're drinking and the day after,  too.
 Plus,  a balanced meal will help restore your nutrient supply.  Just remember:  No matter how tempting it may be,  steer clear of fatty and/ or fried food the morning after,
 because it'll only make your stomach feel worse.  posted by NoShy1 @  9: 15 AM 0 comments Wednesday,  July 21,  2004 Hump Day!
 If only I had the time or energy to get humped!  The attitude of some people around work here is disgusting.  There is a particular person who just refuses to do her job,  and acts holier than thou all day in the meantime.  I am annoyed.  Goin' out with my fellow motocross chickie friends tonite.
 Big Bowl,  here we come.  We actually behave ourselves most of the time.  Just dinner and gossip.  Rain,  rain.
where are you?  Violent T- Storm watch today. but so far,  no storms!  It's hot as hell.
over 90 degrees,  and humid too!  Rain,  rain. where are you?  I am so boring sometimes.

 Why do some people like to insult,  degrade,  and otherwise demean other people?  Is it entertainment?  Manly?  Cool?
 Fun?  Does the bully feel good about themselves?  Something for Mom to be proud of?  Does making someone cry earn you some sort of stripes or something?  And if you don't know when to quit,  and keep going and going and going with it.
do you get extra- credit?  When are you the top bully. cooler and manlier than all?  When someone gets hurt so badly that they do something drastic?  Like jump off a building.
 Real fun games people play with others emotions,  right?  Fun,  fun,  fun.  Very cool.
 Don't get me wrong. some of this applies to me.  But I am not suicidal.  Just wondering what these fools might do if their constant and incessant insults caused someone to kill themselves.  Would it feel good to have that on your head for the rest of your egotistical life?  I don't understand bullies.
 I guess we never do. from childhood on to adulthood. a bully never grows up.  posted by NoShy1 @  4: 01 PM 0 comments I don't want to work!
 If only a millionaire would fall in love with me.  I just hate getting up early,  sitting in traffic for 40 minutes to travel 11 miles,  and then eing ragged at by customers all day.  I need a vacation,  but have no vacation time to use.
 Sometimes,  I swear I wish I would break a bone or something. to get some time off.  But. need the money.  The bills don't pay themselves,
 and there are no millionaires in sight.  Just Dougie -  best friend,  devoted to me,  all around nice guy.  Going over to the parents house tonite.
 Picking some " hand me downs"  up for Doug and his new condo.  Don't feel like doing much of anything.  Wish I could sleep for 4 days.  Ahhhh,
 that would be nice.  posted by NoShy1 @  9: 24 AM 0 comments Monday,  July 19,  2004 Another Monday.
 I hate Mondays!  My favorite day of the week is Saturday.  You get to sleep late,  and stay up late watching movies or bar hopping,  then get to sleep in late again the next day.  Mondays suck.
 I am so not a morning person,  can you tell?  I could sleep until 3 pm daily if given the opportunity!  Went fishing on Sunday. first time in something like 20 years!  (
Am I getting old?  That doesn't sound so good,  does it?  I caught 8 Bluegills,  and Doug. my in house fishing expert,
 only got 3!  What an ego buster for him.  Oh well. after all,  they were just measly Bluegills.  Hey,
 at least I handled my own worms and took my own fish off the hooks!  Pretty good for a chick.  I wonder what fish do at night?  Do they sleep on the bottom of the lake?  Or just " rest"
 That would suck. not being able to really sleep.  I am glad I am not a fish,  but sorry I am not a cat.  Housecats have the life -  sleep,
 eat,  shit.  Sleep,  play,  eat,  sleep.
 Shit,  eat,  sleep.  Sleep.  Get petted.  Sleep.
 What a life!  I am missing my buddy,  Riley.  Even though I have a housecat,  Pixie,  I have a pseudo-
pet in Georgia.  Riley is the only dog on the planet I am not deathly allergic to.  As a matter of fact,  not allergic to at ALL!  She is the cutest thing in the world!  I miss you Riley!
 Enough ranting for today.  Back to the boring business of the daily grind.  Oh where,  or where is Friday?  Or a long weekend?  Or a holiday?

 some suck!  This whole week has felt like it has lasted soooo long.  TGIF!  But,  I just don't feel like work at all.  I don't know what else I feel like doing,
 but dealing with people,  office politics,  and paperwork just isn't part of my agenda today.  Not in the mood.  To top it all off,  I have to go to a wake tonite for a former clients son.
who I never liked.  He was a jerk for as long as I knew him.  His father is such a nice man though,  so I have to go.  Just in a mood.  posted by NoShy1 @
 9: 10 AM Thursday,  July 15,  2004 Something new.  I am really into that lately.  My recent past:
 3 years ago. decided to leave my lazy husband and mediocre marriage.  2+  years ago. divorced and bought my own condo.  6 months ago.
got rid of abusive boyfriend.  2 months ago. got ride of abusive,  judgemental,  so called friends.  Today.
cancelled service to my website.  Focusing on new things instead of the old.  I ran the MX website for 6 years,  but it's time to move on.  Again. ridding myself of abusive and toxic persons.
in real life and online.  So,  here I am. with this new project!  Hope it hold my interest longer than most men.  haha posted by NoShy1 @
