It caught my attention and I, too, thought that maybe I had heard wrong and they said kidney, but then they said it again! Lol - I guess that says what they think of that sister! By the way...she didn't want to sign the consent form because they said it would be about a six week recovery time and she had an important basketball game that upcoming weekend! Well...back to the real stuff ..... rachel~ The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is.

You're right - it's good to have a place where there's no need to feel awkward writing about things like bowel movements, belching, gas, etc... You think this is good, you should see what's written on the bowel cleanse list, lol! Seriously, though, I do know what you mean. Glad you found us and glad you feel comfortable here. And as for looking forward to the next flush - I think that's a healthy sign that you're ready to 'release' anything that's inside that is holding you back from optimum health. flush away! rachel~ The truth is incontrovertible.

I couldn't imagine how the writers of that show, with all the medical consulation they have, how they could make a mistake like that. That's interesting - I never knew that before - thanks, Kate! rachel~ The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 ROFL - very funny Barry! I like this group! It's weird though, you guys are making me look forward to doing another flush, even though I only did one last week and want to make sure I have two weeks between... It's nice that what a lot of people think of as a taboo subject and get odd around speaking about, is spoken of openly here. I like that - breath of fresh air. good luck to those of you having a flushing weekend of it! I'm just going to stuff myself stupid on chocolate and marshmallow easter eggs. (NOT - only kidding!) have fun -----Original Message----- From: barry91162 [mailto:barry91162@...] Sent: Friday, 29 March 2002 15:23 gallstones Subject: Re: OT - ER Maybe the sister is a non-essential family member. haha Or she is already dead?
