Stomach of Steel

I have a dream...eventually i want to be able to eat anything over here and not get sick from it. There are two obvious faults in this plan. first, i know its not actually possible. you don't build up immunity to something like giardia, you'd just get it over and over. second, in order to achieve this dream i'd have to get really sick over and over (a thought i don't relish). But the payoff if i actually pulled it off...well, that would be amazing...i could eat anything and not worry about getting sick. all the delicious street food...when any of my friends offer me food i could just accept and enjoy it without any fear (i mean, i accept it now...but sometimes with the fear in the back of my mind..."am i going to 'pay' for this later?!?!").

Last week i realized i'm making progress on my quest. Merilee and I both got sick....but i was significantly less sick than she was. So while i didn't feel great...while the stomach "issues" were uncomfortable, and less than ideal...i was encouraged by the clear progress i'm making toward fulfilling my dream :)
