Thanks for the compliment. I'm still getting the hiccups quite often. Usually two or three times a week. Actually I had a pretty good case of them a couple of weeks ago at work. At the time, I was sick with a really bad cold, and for some reason I started getting the hiccups in the morning. I was in the office with one other guy, monitoring servers, and I suddenly started hiccuping really hard. I mentioned to my coworker that I had the hiccups and he laughed. I didn't want to have the hiccups, so I started drinking some water to try to stop them. But most of the time, when I do that, they only stop for about 5 minutes then start up again. After I finished drinking a glass of water, my coworker walked around the behind me, like he was waiting for me to hiccup. But I didn't, he stood there for about 3-4 minutes. ( Maybe he was going to scare me) I couldn't tell if he was one of us. The guy sat back down at his desk and a minute later I started to hiccup again. They were really hard, they made a thump sound in my chest when I kept my mouth closed. But at least they didn't hurt too bad. About 10 minutes later they went away. The next time I got them was after I got home from work, then I had the hiccups for about 1/2 hour then they stopped on their own.
