Chirky

I'm wiping at the tears that are threatening to stream down my face

Maybe the person in Minneapolis was trying to avoid overdosing? That is what I will choose to think. I would also like to point out that it was not me searching for that. I will have to watch the clip later because I am not going to risk crying in my office.

I love watching my stat counter and seeing where people are coming from. However, my IP is a little deceiving, I certainly don't live where mine comes from.

I'm not watching that video again. It caught me off guard when I watched it last week and made me bawl like a little tiny baby.

Wow I had some serious chills, followed by streams of tears running down my face during that. I'm speechless right now.

Gee, thanks Jes. I have mascara running down my face in the middle of the work day. That video is moving.

That was incredible.

To -R-:
Yes, I also wondered whether the individual who conducted that search was wanting to prevent an overdose. And then my legal training kicked in, and I based my assumption on one word: "to".

If they wanted to prevent an overdose, why wouldn't they write "before"? Or "to prevent"?

We can only pray that before anyone would attempt to take their life, someone would step in and tell them how much they are loved. That someone would step in and hold them.
Unfortunately, I found my self in a dark place where, fortunately, I had that person. I dont think she knows how much she still means to me.
I pray this person has a person like that there for them, and that they also feel God there for them.

You wouldn't believe all the crazy nyquil-related searches that lead people to my site. I feel your pain though, I frequently wish that people searching for stuff like that would find more helpful information than whatever they end up finding.

You are evil, WOMAN!!!! I thought, "I don't cry. Sheesh, Jes must be a bawl-baby."

Yeah, someone tell that to my teary eyes and snotty nose. I'm crying.

THANK YOU for sharing!

I saw a wonderful news story on that father/son duo. It was truly touching. It is often better to focus on something beautiful like that than guessing someone's intentions like searching for nyquil overdose info.

They played that video at my church a few weeks ago and I bawled and bawled. It made me cry again watching it- so beautiful. Especially now that I have Amelia.

I get people looking for the calories in Nyquil on my site. If I was worried I drank too much nyquil, I might put in that exact phrasing... just the way my mind works! At least I'll think the positive anyway.

I have been humbled. I've got tears running down my cheeks, not out of sympathy or pity, but at my own inadequacies and poor-me attitude of late. A million thanks for this one, Jes.

I saw them on Oprah and it made me cry too.

I've had the same reaction to people who have found my sites through searches. I've had people find my site through searches for what to do with a cheating husband, how to handle a coworker who repeatedly stabs you in the back, and photos of boys raping their mothers. I try to think about the funny searches, but it doesn't always work.

I couldn't load the video, but I think something's up with my connection tonight. Will have to check back later.

I have two things to say. The first is that it'd be pretty tough to kill oneself with Nyquil, so hopefully our friend in Minnesota gets through this and cheers up. The second is that I used to post on Sara's blog and I tried to be funny but she got annoyed and was mean to me. So then I got annoying and mean to her. And she kept trying to ban me but I kept tricking her into letting me back in. Then after a while I think we both realized that we were retarded so we made up and everyone was happy and now I can talk to her on AIM. Also I am the one who told Jes that that Andy Milonakis guy is like 30 years old, you see everyone comes into your life for a reason, it's just that sometimes it is not immediately clear what the reason is. I am still not pleased that Jes voted for George W. Bush, but she had the right to do so. Love, Mitzell

I tried watching this at work and had to stop it... I've read about this guy before -- it's such a touching story.

Hey, these guys just ran in our local Rock N Roll 1/2 marathon on Sunday. I watched your video clip, had to stop it FOUR TIMES to stop myself from sobbing here at work. Even though I already knew about them. Powerful stuff.

Yow. That was cool.

I HAVE to stop going to your site from the whore house.

Maybe they weren't trying to OD on Nyquil. Maybe they just wanted to know how much they'd have to ingest to cause a problem.

Case in point: Trevor chugs the stuff when he is sick (he, like most men, is a BIG BABY when ill). I've tried to get him to, say, take a normal amount of the medication, but haven't been successful in convincing him as of yet. Apparently, Nyquil not only makes him feel better, but also tastes good to him. Sigh...

I love the video clip. I've read about the two of them - very inspirational!

oh my. i would not know how to react to that search hit either. good lord.

but it was really nice of you to try to reach out to them.

the internet is so strange, isn't it?

Don't EVER, EVER do that to me again. I'm crying hysterically.

I did a post this week on my referring URL's.

Hi, just stumbled onto this site while searching for "NyQuil overdose" myself, and i wanted to assure you that there is nothing strange about this, and you shouldn't read anything into it. I am honestly looking for some usage numbers on NyQuil, like how much is it "safe" to take, and what would be considered an overdose. You see, i drank lots of it yesterday (probably a little less than half a bottle, like yourself) and now my girlfriend is mad at me because we are all out, and she is using "it is dangerous to drink that much!" as her justification for yelling at me. She's totally losing her mind over this, comparing it to cracking open the aspirin and eating mouthfulls. I just want to find some real numbers to show her that these things are far from similar.

It's amazing the searches our organic content sometimes attracts!

You can make that number of people who found your site by searching for how to overdose on nyquil 2 now instead of 1.

Cute site though

I'm always amazed by the number of readers get to my site through searching for information on a nyquil overdose.

You're the first to leave a comment. (I'm glad you did!)

i found your site by searching nyquil overdose too..i wanted to know if it's possible to overdose on it..not because i want to but because i am in college taking a toxicolgy class and am learning that anything if taken at high doses can potentially be toxic..so i was just wondering how much is too much...lol..hopefully now you feel better i thought i'd explain myself since you will probally find out how i arrived at this site anyway and wonder why..lol

I'd just like to add that although you can see that I found this page by searching "nyquil overdose" I was actually looking for the results of an overdose because one of my best friends tried to do it last night and he's really sick now, but refuses to go to the hospital, and i'm worried about him. :-\

And yes, it would make me sad too...

i found this site by looking up information about nyquil overdosing also. my little sister attempted suicide by chugging a whole bottle of nyquil and (she's fine now) but was wondering how much was a dangerous level. yeah. so.

you can die from drinking too much because of the DXM stuff

I found it by looking up od-ing on nyquil as well. but i was looking to make sure I didn't personally take too much. aww. i hope you don't feel badly. i dont even know you, but i think you're terrific :) be happy.
