I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't sure if the story would fit the topic well enough.

Good entry, but I'm sorry that writing it made you feel sick!

Yep, there is always a pill if I need anything from fish, but I'm scared to take fish oil pills because I hear you can burp them.

Wow, great entry! Fish, yuck! There are several people I know that do not care for fish.
