I have never been sick enough to vomit, however on a few occassions, I've been a bit quesasy. Once was getting ready to dive and being all geared up and then having to wait on the side of the boat as it rolled in the water--finally I went on in and was okay, but if I'd sat on the edge of that boat much longer, I'd lost my guts. Another time was sittig in a boat, with rolling water, workin on the engine. The rolling action and smell of fuel isn't a good combo. Mostly, however, when you're in the fresh air and moving, you don't havve to worry about getting queasy.<BR/><BR/>And I bet you are good with those little maneuvers!sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1156243886465866402006-08-22T06:51:00.000-04:002006-08-22T06:51:00.000-04:00Have you ever gotten queasy on a boat, Sage?

Also, your mother's maneuver is commonly known in the female world. My technique is different but the end result is still the same. :-)Murfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859630977737647681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1156223958306312282006-08-22T01:19:00.000-04:002006-08-22T01:19:00.000-04:00I have to agree.
