Frazz: You haven't told me much about your trip to the amusement park. Girl: Ugh. I got sooo motion-sick. Frazz: I know just how you feel. Girl: But then we go there and I was fine. Frazz: I got to ride in your dad's car once.
I can’t go on most amusment park rides. I can handle some types of rollercoasters as long as there are no loops or major circular sections. I can’t handle any of the spinny-type rides, including the Ferris Wheel. Very annoying!
I NEVER get carsick, I can read as long as there’s light. As a small child I thought “dancing” meant spinning around in circles endlessly (think whirling dervish, I never got so dizzy as to fall down) my favorite playground equipment was the merry-go-round and I’ve spun my kids around since they were babies. My hubby on the other hand gets dizzy just watching me spin with the kids.
75 years ago I would get car sick until someone told the family that a raw potato would stop that. I was given a clean potato to chew on and it worked. Of course the cars and the road improved too.

Sounds like someone’s car has bad shocks and bad u-joints.

Glad I never had to go on a ride with you, Pacopuddy!

I had to drive my grandmother’s Crown Vic up the mountain from Roanoke, VA to Floyd, VA. It’s the only time I’ve ever made myself car sick.
Unfortunately, I’m so susceptible to motion sickness, I can barely tolerate going on kiddie rides with my daughter.
