A little bit of TMI to follow ..... :D

Today I am "preparing" for my colonoscopy tomorrow. Yeugh!!!! Have to eat tablets, drink some disgusting potion and then spend all day pooping.

And, I'm not allowed to eat. Only drink "clear fluids".

Meh!

Ugh. I feel your pain. That "go lightly" is anything but light.

Sounds like a procedure made specifically with teh Box in mind.:o:D

Flavored drinks are your friend, as long as they're not red.

you'll be fine -- I'm surprised that you have to start the 'prep' so early!:rolleyes:
When I've had to do this -- got to start at 5p the evening before! The not eating part is the worst -- it's all you can think about!:D:rolleyes: Best of luck with it all!:-:

Mornin' Box. Just landed at IAH from DFW and got a Star Team (pause) Alliance. Pulling up to the gate. Gonna head home to sleep b/c 2 hours isn't enough.

I thought that potion was likely the worst thing I've ever tasted (and that covers a lot of ground!), and I couldn't believe they wanted me to drink a gallon of it.

I made a personal decision that, unlike me, most other patients would not follow the directions and would not drink all of it as it was just too nasty. Most people would only drink half of it at most - so that is what I did.

I had that colonoscopy because I was sick, probably because of something I ate or drank on a trip to the Amazon jungle. It is hard for me to imagine that I would have it done again voluntarily if I was well. :(

OH, good morning Box!

I need to read these posts about phones, as I need a new one. preferably a smart phone that is not smarter than me (like my current Treo).

A pee reference. ^ That's better than poop.

Just got off the phone with an extremely nice CO agent who twice referred to Chautauqua as "Chiquita". If I see Carmen Miranda flying my plane, I'll know why.

That is a much more plesant reference than most of us gave it when Chautauqua firsted started flying for CO;)

So you were routing for UT for what seemed like an eternity for some here!

New Jersey beats Detroit in shootout...I learned of this from Fox Sports Mobile. This living out-of-market thing really sucks.

So looks like my Aunt had her first EUA on the 757-200 from TPA this morning. Will need to email or call her and see what she thought. This is a great plane in my opinion to get the upgrade but kinda spoils you too when it is your first one.

Thanks to BD's new "family membership" feature, I am inheriting just over 12k destination miles from my wife. :D

Now if I could just get my butler to accept the invitation to join our family account... :rolleyes:

Quite an auspicious morning start for the Box.

Early Sunday references already have the poop and colonoscopy bases covered and now the b*tching and moaning about EUAs and other assorted travel problems can start until the conversation is turned over to football.
