Again, MIA, I know. It’s been a rough several weeks with finals, our beloved dog passing, and the addition of our new pup, Sadie. Molly deserves a post of her own (which I will likely get to sometime next fall) so I won’t go into the sad (yet heartwarming) details right now.
This post is about a colon cleanse! I’ve been reading The Bloggess’ new book: Let’s Pretend this Never Happened, and I just read a hilarious chapter about how she overdosed on laxatives. Seriously, people, go get that book! I started it three weeks ago and am purposely only reading a few chapters a week to savor every single word. She is a great writer, who is also plagued with anxiety disorders which makes her as brave as she is hilarious.
Anyway, the chapter started with her wanting to try a colon cleanse since a friend of hers did one and lost a few pounds. Although she thinks that makes her sound crazy, I think it is a brilliant idea! I Googled the shit out of colon cleanses and which ones are the right ones and voila, I should expect my order for Colopril early next week.
Side note: The title of this post originally said, “Bare with me” and so I Googled that and found this hilarious gem:
“Bear with me,” the standard expression, is a request for forbearance or patience. “Bare with me” would be an invitation to undress.
You started this subject, not me...
ReplyDeleteTurning 50, you get a Colonoscopy, which includes a gratis colon cleanse (if you have insurance). Having them find some sort of growth to remove (1/3 of your colon) nets you a few more colon cleanings.
Then being on a now regular pattern of Colonoscopies garners you at least an annual cleaning.
At this point my gastro-intestinal should shine like a restored heavy chrome 57 Chevy.
As I'm fond of saying, consider a proper colon cleansing in it's final stages, nothing more than you having been turned into a human fire hose. And when you finish and look in the bowl, and it looks like no one has even been there yet, you're good to go... or you've already gone I guess.
You started it!
