I have no idea who the women in the video are, or exactly what they were singing about, but I was bummed that it was so short! Very cool, and I think I've picked up some new dance moves. Sorry to hear you've got a migraine though. I hope it doesn't last too long and that you soon feel better!
Dang it, I HATE how migraines just stop you in your tracks! Sorry Dive. Hope you are better today. I haven't gotten one in a while but the sunshine mixed with a low blood sugar is a recipe for disaster in my blood vessels. Take care. I'm too busy to do my proper rounds so I'm only getting glimpses to check on folks. I think you may have at least one other post with this title. At least it sounds like the burning foot entry to me. Dude! Be careful over there! ;)
Thank you all for your kind wishes. I am sort of recovered now.
I spent much of the weekend on the bathroom floor, wrapped in a duvet, writhing in pain and throwing up constantly, scraping my forehead against the cool wall until it bled to try to ease the pain and the screaming hallucinations. I cannot hold down painkillers (even in solution) when I have a migraine so I have to deal with it raw. Nasty. I am sporting a nice pair of black eyes today from grinding my fists into them to try to stop it hurting. It went away around three this morning but I have spent the day trashed and drained and trying to recover.
You know what gets my goat? People who think they have migraines when all they've got is a really bad headache. My old boss was like that. "I've got a migraine so I'm going home." he would say. Fucking moron! God, I wish he DID have a migraine! I want to smash in the skulls of people like that to give them some idea of what they're missing. If you can stand up you don't have a migraine. If you can hold anything resembling a conversation you don't have a migraine. If you can see you don't have a migraine. If you can move without screaming you don't have a migraine. If you can chat away to me, then walk to your Mercedes and drive home you do not have a fucking migraine you bastard! I'm glad I left his firm before I killed him.
Whew … Sorry about that but it gets to me.
Katie: the girls are the wonderful Althea and Donna from Jamaica. The original single from the seventies is much better and fatures a gloriously out of tune brass section. They are singing about getting dressed up in their khaki suits and halter-backs to go dancing down at the Top Rank Ballroom. That song is guaranteed to blow my blues away. Happy, happy music.
I do hope you feel better. My mother used to get terrible migraines. Thankfully I never inherited them. Fun video. Jamaicans certainly know how to party! Now picture a deathly white, red-haired 98 lb skinny girl in a tube top, same fro and glasses! My high school best friend circa 1976! I wish I could find a photo! Laughter is good medicine.
I have had only one and I ended up getting a shot of morphine or something. However I have also had malaria which is a whole other ball game when it comes to headaches.

Woah! You have GOT to find that photo, Neetzy. Hee hee.

Yikes! That sounds like a whole bunch of no fun, Jules.
I am much better today, thanks.
