Some Lethal Combinations
Do you ever do things and wonder, “What was I thinking?”
Last night, I made two kinds of Hamburger Helper. Yeah, I know, Loser Mom supper. That’s okay cause my kids think HH is Gourmet all the way baby so I went with it. I meant to buy 2 boxes of Beef Stroganoff (their personal favorite) but ended up with a Mexican box instead. So, we had a buffet where you got to choose! (Look out Ryans) I also had corn on the cob which was very tasty by the way.
As chance would have it, there was more Mexican left and since I love all food south of the border, I ate it with the corn. Now there are two things a girl who has the stomach of a 90 year-old and snorts Nexium should not eat at 8 p.m. That would be anything that sets your mouth on fire and corn. I woke up in the middle of the night with a churning pit of lava in my stomach. Ugghh..
It was because of deadly combo #1 of Mexican HH and corn on the cob that I discovered Deadly Combo #2. Read On.
I went into the kitchen and ate 3 Rolaids. I LOVE Rolaids better than any candy so this wasn’t such a big deal. But, because I ate so many, I had a bit of a chalky taste in my mouth so I decided to drink a swig of Diet Coke to wash it down. You know that Mentos/Diet Coke explosion phenomenon? Can I tell you it also works with Rolaids and Diet Coke? That stuff went spewing like a volcano out of my mouth, up my nose, and I’m certain through my ears. I thought my head was going to pop clean off my shoulders!! So, if you are up in the middle of the night with a fire in your belly, be sure you drink water with your antacid because Diet Coke + Rolaids = Certain death.
I feel it is my civic duty within the Sistahood to pass these tips along to you. You know all that talk I do about those ‘unrecurring opportunities’ for ministry? I do believe this was one of them and I do not want to be found unfaithful by not sharing my God-given wisdom with you, dear ones!
Consider yourself warned of yet another of Satan’s schemes. :)
I am so sorry to be laughing at your misfortune…Is there video feed? I hope that your tummy calmed down to get back to sleep. I care, I really do! LOL
I wish my kids would eat HH. That would make life so much easier some nights. Thanks for the advice.
Oh, now I SOOOO have to try that!! Not the HH, that’s a no-no on my diet…I mean the Rolaids and Diet Coke! Of course, I think I’ll try it someplace other than IN MY MOUTH!! Thanks for the visual, I am so tired, I can hardly breathe, but I’m laughing out loud WITH you!
Wow….I got some powerful visuals when you described your misfortune…I can’t help thinking that this would be something I would do….thanks for warning me of future misfortune!
I hope your feeling better! :o))
Blessings
If you are a loser than so am I..
my husband is out of town.. so he calls and talks to our son before I can give him the speech.. you know it.. “DOn’t tell your dad”
Dad: What are you having for dinner
Son: Popcorn and cookies

So there.. talk about loser!!

so needless to say, I was so happy to read this.. atleast yours was healthy….
Blessings Lisa
I feel a Bible Study coming on
ROFLOL, I’m with Crystal on this one… I got the visual images in my mind.
I like you. Your real and funny. *smile*
Have a blessed Sabbath.
ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooo
thank you for the warning
hope youre ok now
I learned the antacid/diet coke thing when I was pregnant! There’s nothing like a big fat prego spewing like the mentos fountain! I’m talkin spewing from the mouth, nose…and i’m pretty sure my eyes even!…lovely!
Lisa, I am sorry you weren’t feeling well, but I am
LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF!!! Slapping my leg, wiping the tears, doubled over LAUGHING!
Good grief, Lisa – I almost chocked laughing…I am sorry – I am sure you didn’t feel it was funny at night, but it sure sounds funny to me tonight.
Be blessed today and always.
Oh my sweet mercy, Lisa…
We must thank you in advance for passing on the knowledge. Girl, you crack me up! I have already laughed till I cried today…reading Boo Mama’s post about her little one after Karate class…
I have add Rolaid/Diet Coke mixture to the list of No-No’s. :)
Oh no!! First of all, I haven’t had HH for years! It was what DH and I lived on when we were poor seminary students and new in the ministry. I’ve never tried the Mexican kind (that I remember). Now since I AM a Diet Coke fanatic, I am taking your second combo to heart. Thanks for the warning and for sharing for the cause.

Thank you for the laugh!! My husband is asking me what is so funny at the moment! I really am sorry to find your demise so humorous!! Many blessings to you, including your tummy and all other areas affected by your antacid explosion! :o)
Lisa, I just have to say THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU! It is so nice to hear someone is going through life in much the same way that Kent and I are. I have spent 2 hours tonight on your blog and love it. Thanks for sharing your life, the good and the bad, while continuing to give GOD the glory. AMEN
I’m sorry about your lethal combinations I will make mental note to self to avoid this.
Keep it up!! Love ya, Gena:)
P.S. Can’t wait to worship with you at the East Brow Ladies Banquet..
This was hysterical, Lisa! Thanks for always keeping it real here, babe (and for the warning)!
And that is why I don’t drink soda. :-)
I’ll consider myself duly warned. Isn’t that reflux thing a drag? It prevents me from fully enjoying all my favorite foods–but of course I don’t change them out of my diet. That would make too much sense. :)
Lisa-
A made a post with a video I use at school just for you. It uses like 100 bottles of diet coke and 500 mentos. Enjoy. Here is the link.

This has to be the most hilarious thing I have read in a while! Thanks for making my day!! :)
This story kinda brings back memories of our trip to Pigeon Forge. I just never figured out exactly which combo it was that hit me so hard. However, I had no problems with Starbucks, so I continue to go there every chance I get. Thanks for getting me hooked.
ROFL~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I spit…I’ll wipe it up…in the meantime…I’ve tagged you for a meme…check out my blog at http://trunk-junk.blogspot.com to see what you need to do…
I do not mean to laugh at you, but that is just halarious!! I guess I find it so funny because the whole explosion in the mouth thing has happened to me as well.
This is hilarious. “Fire and corn;” I’ll remember that. And the Rolaids warning. So glad you survived and lived to tell us about it!
