Hm, if I start getting them all the time, maybe. Typically, I get 2-4 "regular" headaches a month, which I'd imagine is very normal. The only new thing is the nausea with it, which until I found out (i think on this thread, too) actually makes it a migraine- but it's only happened probably 4 times in the last year, maybe. Hopefully no more, though.

Still, anything periodic and unpleasant is worth reporting to a doctor: at best, they actually might have a very simple explanation or solution to it that you might not have thought of, or known otherwise.

What are your seven deadly sins?

I scored low on everything, but medium on sloth and lust: an odd combination. Presumably it means I'm attracted to women but can't be bothered to chase them.

I think my boots have about dried out at last from this morning's commute.

He must know somethin' . . . but he just keeps rollin' along.

Well, ahem... at least you aren't angry.

Yes, I'm a very even-tempered, happy sinner

I think this means: angry guy who's too lazy even to care about any of the other stuff.  Yep, that would be about right... 

Lol, what an odd description.

Though it seems weird to have ratings like that from someone who is on a music forum. Just think about it- shouldn't either Gluttony, Greed or Lust (or all) be high? You come to a music forum to either discuss music you like (which you like enough to listen to all the time, probably- "Gluttony") or music that you want to listen to ("Lust" or "Greed"). It seems like all of us should automatically score high on these, but I guess the quiz doesn't take into account music.

Hey Dave (um..., the one who has been missing from the forum for some days -- MN, Beethovenian), here's something I think will be right up your alley.

We could test that hypothesis if only we had a suitable test for Fear. But even if we had one, I'd probably be too afraid to take it.

Lol!
Possibly my favorite part:

Google Chrome:

I remember one day after work, I saw IE6 walking home. I pulled over in my car and said "Hey IE6, do you want a ride?"

He responded "Page Cannot Be Displayed" and fell over.

Man, that guy was a hoot.

I took the test and came out top in sloth and gluttony.  I'm not bragging about this, mind you, just letting you know who you're allegedly dealing with.

I sense a gambling opportunity. We could take bets on whether, if I were to give you this cream bun, you could  be bothered to eat it.

...all because I saw Se7en on the list of top rated movies and decided to watch it...

Today, while loading stuff into this old guy's car, I noticed his bumper sticker, which mentions Esperanto. It turns out he is an Esperanto teacher, and he's actually originally from Germany- I think he said he learned Esperanto before English, which helped him learn English quicker or something.

I got his card, which reads:
"I help well-spoken adults find jobs in China through contacts who speak Esperanto." (i think he said he spent time in China, too)

He mentioned that the lessons were free, or something, but didn't go into much detail.

I'm not sure what I should do- I'm really considering calling him sometime next week or so just to see what a class is like, but at the same time, I'm not really interested in learning Esperanto. I don't want to waste his time, or anything... but he seems like someone I would really like to get to know, too.

Anyone have an opinion of what I should do?

If you'd like to get to know him, get to know him.  He's probably had an interesting life!  Maybe he'll find you a great job in China!  Who know, but if you have this gut instinct that says it would be good to get to know him, I say go for it.  If you're not interested in Esperanto, you can let him know that.  He might want to get to know you anyway--hey, you're an interesting guy!
