Puking for no good reason is such a waste 

Hey Body. Mind here. Can we talk for a minute about what just happened?… yea. it’s about the puke. I know you think you did the right thing but just hear me out.

I appreciate the vomit impulse you’ve got goin on, Body, I do – I totally get it – you’re all like “whoah, something is in here that shows signs of killing us – GET IT OUT” and you pull the evacuation cord. You’re looking out for us in a way that the Mind can’t, and that’s great. Really. We need you in that regard and we want you to keep doin what you’re doin for the most part. You’re doing great work keeping the heart going, your “gut feeling” stuff is hit and miss but a good thing to have, and I feel like you drop the ball a little bit on breathing patterns but for the most part you’re there all day and night doin your job. I guess that wasn’t exactly the glowing review it should have been before I come to the bad part but whatever – I’ll just get to it: this vomiting stuff… I need to be consulted. You can’t just keep full control of it like you have been. I think I narrowed it down to the red pepper capsules as to what is making you sound the barf-alarm and I’ve eased up on them – but I can’t totally quit cuz I still have a whole bottle and this might not be something you can fully understand but *this is for YOUR own good*. I take that crap for YOU, not for ME. I don’t get anything from it up here in the Mind dimension. The capsaicin found in hot peppers is good for the heart and thats the only reason I include it sometimes in my pill and capsule supplement bucket that I shove down our face from time to time.

Look – I’m not saying “never barf no matter what”. I’m just saying you have to let me have a seat to the table on the matter because I have tools you don’t have – just like you have tools that *I* don’t have, ya dig? I might eat something that I can’t see or smell that is poison and when you detect it – that’s great – get it tf outta here just like you do. 5 stars all the way. But when it’s something I’ve cleared and know is okay – I need you to trust me and just keep it down.

Again – this is for you, man. Look at the trade off you just made by making me spew earlier… I had really good plant matter in there that you got rid of before we absorbed the nutrients from and then what? I had to fill the energy deficit with SOMEthing. So what did you get?… You got friggin stackable fake potato chips is what you got. Are you happy with that exchange?

You literally traded fresh organic non GMO fruit for dried potato infused rice powder, vegetable oils and maltodextrin. Can you just trust me next time and chill a little please?

This is for both of us but mostly for you. I’m sorry we even had to have this talk. You know I think you’re sexy inside and out. Actually that’s a lie. I don’t think your insides are sexy – that’s creepy. I was just trying to slip in a line about how I know how dope the Body department is maintaining as we advance in age and I accidentally got a little Hannibal Lector in there. Geez with that reference tho. That’s from the early 90s – we ARE getting… meh nevermind – that’s not too long ago to be an old person reference. It won an Oscar. It’s culturally relevant. I’m keeping it.

^And THIS is what I’m talking about, man… See how you tried to give me that impulse that I was making a bad citation and how you were wrong? Let me correct you from time to time is all I’m saying.

We don’t need to barf every time we feel the sensation to. I don’t care that it happens once a year or once a decade – it’s the principal of the matter that counts. We’re better than this.

Okay. Cool. Now let’s go get you a massage while we make The Girl clean that nasty crap up.
