I wrote a post about how nice my past two days off were but something happened and it didn't post .
Anyway it was nice. Walked into a shitshow at work because our overnight crew is not good
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Nice, Brenda (I had to look it up, full disclosure.)
Also -- the style guide wars, heh.
Glad you enjoyed your time off, askye!

That’s nice askye!
I just scheduled my first colonoscopy for next month. Whee? I do think it’s obnoxious that they demand the name of a person who will be accompanying you before they let you schedule. Like wtf—who I can get is very much going to be dependent on when it is! Anti single people is what that is.

ENTIRELY OBNOXIOUS!
Lemon wedges.
Don't swallow any of it, but sort of press them against your teeth and suck to kill the gagging taste of the drank.

Skip the drink, pay for the pills! That $50 was a great investment in my peace of mind.

And if you don't go with the pills, use gatorade to blend the drink because the flavor is strong enough to kinda-sorta overpower it.
I've learned this the hard way, being something of a pro at this because of my family history forcing me to have my first one back in my mid-30s. The first time I used Sprite, reasoning that it was my least favorite soda. Choosing a fizzy drink was a mistake, and also the experience turned Sprite from a meh flavor to one where the mere thought of it turns my stomach.
Last time, about a year ago, I had the bright idea of using white grape juice, since I don't drink grape juice but I also don't hate it, and I figured the sweetness would drown out the drink's flavor. But it was actually disgusting and (spoiler font for grossness) the smell of whatever you drink shows up in your copious pre-procedure shit within a few hours. Suffice it to say grape juice is now on my never drink list alongside Sprite, and it even temporarily turned me off to fruity white wines. Which was not something I could explain to anyone but Dylan on our fancy-schmancy wine country vacation last year. I ended up begging Dylan to go out and get me some nice lemon gatorade for my second dose of that round, which was much better.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Mac and I watched Season 1 of Evil yesterday. I am shocked that it aired on CBS.
I love it, but also find it full of plot holes and unsolved minor things from episodes.

When I had my colonoscopy I got Dulcolax and Metamucil . Which worked out ok. Just drink it really cold.
Also they may tell you to mix the Gatorade in 48oz bottle. They don't make those anymore. Just get the largest and split it.
I found as well after a whole lemon and lime jello was too acidic. If you drink broth splurge for the nicer ones
Hopefully yours isn't in the afternoon like mine was. I was so ready to get it over with
