Things you need to know before you need to know them
I've always heard that Pepto-Bismol can help settle an upset stomach but any time my stomach was bad enough to need it, the obscenely pink liquid looked so vile that drinking it would surely trigger just the response I was trying to prevent.
Well, one of my girls spent last night throwing up and I've got a premonition that could be me tonight. So I screwed up my courage and am dosing myself with the stuff. And you know what? It's not as bad as it looks!
I wish I'd tried it years ago on a sound stomach so I'd have been used to the idea all the times I needed to take it for a queasy one.
