How Great do you feel when you're done with something that sucks?

I wonder if that solution could be "doctored" with Scotch! At least, it's a "clear solution"!

You don't know how close to the truth this is. The first liter began at 4PM and the instructions were to drink the second liter at 9PM. There were clear cut instructions about drinking 80z of any clear bev, after each 16 oz. of the guk. I read and re-read the instructions and couldn't believe I found a loop hole giving me an opp. to have a scotch around 9:30 PM. Then I said to myself ... John you're really reading too much into this and if they ask if you drank alco. last nite...hmm, what IF I need to start this all over again and drink these 2 liters another day? Nope.

I saw the kit the doctor provided my friend who's having it done Friday. It's a 4 liter bottle! If it were any bigger, he could cut off the top and use it for a wading pool. I hope that stuff tastes good. If not Scotch, then Vodka perhaps?

You know, just b/c people in the street keep saying your friend "is full of it" didn't mean that the DR. had to go overboard w/FOUR LITERS. NO WAY any person can get that down. Serious.

The kit came with the bottle and a packet of stuff taped to the side of it. I guess as long as you're "cleaned out" that's the whole point of it. Buy some Georgia-Pacific stock in the next week or so! I have a feeling I'll be using a lot of their product in a couple of weeks!

FOUR LITER BOTTLE???? Holy sh*t what are they trying to do, drown someone from the inside? I'd rather shoot the guy a surprise than put myself through that.

I'm sorry but that does not look like my idea of a pleasant evening.

I was raised, somewhat depressingly lol, that doing crap that sucks really badly is just what you have to do in life. I'd call it a 70/30 split, if you're lucky. You gotta do crap that sucks 70% of the time to have fun and relax 30% of the time. Right now for me it's more like 80/20 if not 90/10. Oh well, hard work *supposedly* pays off. We shall see.
