Death from 7-11

I am writing this blog to warn everyone of the evils of eating 7-11 food (incase some of you weren't already aware). Actually, I have had a history of bad experiences involving 7-11 food. Let me share them with you.

A few years back I bought one of those turkey pitas from the sandwich section. I was happily enjoying it when I found a long dark hair in it. SICK. It makes me want to puke just thinking of it.

Another time I got a hot dog. Now, you think hot dogs are a pretty safe bet, lots of people get them...well, the actual hot dog itself wasn't too bad, but I found some mould on the hot dog bun that they gave me. BARF.

Just this past week, I decided to give 7-11 food a chance and not hold my past experiences against them (actually, I was in a rush to work and stopped in for some coffee and needed a lunch for the day) so I picked out a nice looking turkey and ham bagel sandwich. Ate it at lunch, nothing seemed too funny about it (ok, it tasted a little funny, but I thought that was just the oddness of having 1000 island dressing as a condiment on a sandwich). So here's the evil part: I woke up at 3am that following morning with intense stomach pains. After puking my guts out several times and not being able to hold ANY fluids in my system for pretty much the whole next day, and laying in bed, feeling like I was going to die and feeling scared because I was alone and didn't know how I would get to the hospital if need be (I could barely make it to the toilet)...anyhow, long story short, I lost 5 pounds (which I guess could be the bright spot in all of this), and spent my days off of work feeling like crap. Doctor blamed it on food poisoning. And I'm not surprised. Remind me never to eat from 7-11 again (unless its gum or candy or chips, i'm thinking that's probably safe)...

A Prayer

I've come to this place, it seems
100 times too many.
My heart, though broken,
is still beating, I'm still breathing,
all is not lost for me.
Lord, let me not be hollow.
Let Your life lead me on,
with hope and joy to share...
this world is full of heartaches;
I've experienced a few.
But I'm still here to do Your will,
give me guidance, strengthen me,
may You be glorified in me.
