Just use wet wipes and you’ll be golden, it’s not the procedure, it’s the clean-out.

Don’t worry about it haha.
I’m actually gonna call tomorrow morning and reschedule. I was reading the instructions and warnings and shit on the GoLYTELY (clever name…) stuff that I’m supposed to drink and it mentions something about how you shouldn’t ingest it if you’re withdrawing from alcohol, which I’d absolutely be doing tomorrow. I drink like 18 or 20 White Claws a day, drank a case of it yesterday…
My plan was just to suck it up and go through the awfulness of alcohol withdrawals for a day tomorrow, but after reading that, I don’t feel comfortable drinking that stuff. Even before I read the literature, I had a weird vision of me not waking up from the anesthesia and the doctor telling my girl that there was a problem and that I’d died.
I know this sounds super-flaky and new-age-y, but I’m pretty psychic, I constantly have visions of the future that turn out correct, so… And about stupid stuff that make no sense, too. Like one time a friend of mine that I knew from Tampa was on her way over to my house and I had this thought that she was going to ask me how tall one of my ex-es that she also knew was. And she did. Or, like, the second time I went to jail, when I was eighteen, we were getting hammered and I was like,”Woooooohoooo! We’re going to jail tonight!” just as a joke. You know, like,”We be partyiiiiiiing!” Six hours later, I was in jail. And not even for drunken behavior or anything, but for something totally random and unexpected.
One time a friend took me to see a Jonathan Wilson show. He’d seen him the night before and on the way there I told him,”I think Jackson Browne’s gonna make an appearance.” There was no real reason for me to think that, it’s not like it was hinted at on social media or whatever. He didn’t play with Jonathan Wilson the first night. And Jackson Browne did show up and played a few songs. My friend was like,”How did you know that he’d be there?!?” and I was like,”I dunno. I have no idea. I just did.” Shit like that happens all the time, where I’ll just have a thought and then that thought happens.
You have to pay attention to the signs, you know? And every fiber of my being is telling me to reschedule the colonoscopy. It has nothing to do with the fact that I’d prefer to not have a camera inserted into my butt. There’s just something telling me to not drink that laxative and to not get put under on Wednesday.

Good morning brotha,
I’d say maybe drink some pedialyte to be well hydrated before starting the clean out drink since you enjoy your alcohol. I hope you do the procedure just to get it over with and don’t have a too much adverse side effects from the cleanse process. Also, if anything is up in that department. It would be a good thing to know about. Hopefully you’re all clear!
Jackson Browne is very nice guy. Worked his shows a couple times. He has a large acoustic guitar collection. Always was an easy day for his shows. Same with Bonnie Rhett. Eats in catering and a very small rider. Many older artist’s know the waste in the industry is rampant and try to avoid it if they can.

No, I’m not gonna do it. I just have a really strong feeling that if I do it tomorrow, something bad’s gonna happen with the anesthesia. I need to get healthy before I go, gotta chill on the drinking.
Yeah, he’s never struck me as an asshole haha. I love Late For The Sky, one of my favorite albums for sure.
You mean Bonnie Raitt? Fucking autocorrect… haha.
That’s because they’re not starving artists anymore haha. They’re wealthy and famous and not struggling and haven’t struggled for years. I’d imagine that when a band or artist starts getting a little successful and their rider expands beyond “sandwiches and a bottle of Jack” the temptation to go crazy would be high, if for no other reason than they’ve been sick of being broke and hungry for years.
I know I was…

Healthcare is built to generate revenue. At 50 years old, insurance will magically start paying for a preventive colonoscopy, so the doctor goes ahead and refers you to his buddy doctor that lives on his street who does colonoscopies haha.
Why do they even want you to get a colonoscopy? Ive always been told to get one when I hit 50, but I’ll tell you this, as long as I feel good I’ll be staying away from all healthcare, they love to go looking for problems!
Nice job trusting your gut.

Yeah, for sure, the insurance industry is a total fucking racket. But that’s not why I’m cancelling the appointment haha.
I also don’t even pay for insurance or any medical procedure; I’m on MediCal, the poor people insurance. I don’t have to pay a dime, as it should be. Socialized medicine: just one of the many, many reasons I love California haha.
I’m gonna be fifty in, like, three months, pretty sure that’s why. And maybe because my primary care guy knows how much I drink, so he thought it’d be a good idea? I dunno. Every time I talk to him I’m pretty lit haha, never remember what we talked about. He’s a great doctor, though. Whenever I have an appointment with him, I’m always like,”Okay, set aside at least an hour,” just because he reeeaalllllyyyy talks to me. Like, forever haha. He seems to care a lot.
I’ve actually said to him more than once,”Maybe you should’ve gone into psychology or psychiatry, because it seems like you really wanna get to know your patients.”
Anyway, I’m not opposed to getting a colonoscopy, I actually really want to get one. But, like I said, there’s just something telling me to not get it done tomorrow. Like, specifically tomorrow.
Who fucking knows? Haha. I’ll get it done soon, though, just not tomorrow.

My doc has offered me the alternative of poop sample analysis. They give you a kit where you wipe, take a smear off the TP, package it up, and mail it to the lab. As long as I don’t have any symptoms, and the lab results don’t show anything suspicious, she said I could delay having the full on colonoscopy. Might be worth asking your doc if that could work for you…

I got that stuff from my doctor, too, although it entailed more than just a wipe. It was like a plastic bucket that fit over the toilet that I’d have to shit in and then scoop the samples out. I couldn’t do it haha. I just couldn’t. I was so. Fucking. Grossed out by the entire concept. I eventually just threw the whole kit in the garbage after looking at it every day for months.
I have a serious aversion to feces. Like, abnormally averse. I’d actually rather get a colonoscopy than have to scoop my own shit out of a bucket and put it in a bottle. I have a really hard time picking up my dog’s poop, gag and sometimes even puke when I do it. I don’t like having anal sex with women unless they’ve prepared for it with at least one enema minimum. “Gaping asshole” porn disgusts me, can’t watch it.
Thanks for the suggestion, though haha. Just even talking about it is making me feel ill haha. The thought of… the process. No. I’d rather just get knocked out and get the colonoscopy.

Anywayyyyyy… How the fuck did we get onto all of THAT? haha… Colonoscopies, enemas, anal sex… What the hell…?
Here are those Malawi Gold x Dragon Energies that I said I’d post pictures of, @syzygy:
#1
#4
#3
Those last two pics are the same plant, just different lighting and angles and stuff. I like how branchy she (hopefully it’s a she…) is.
#5
I’m digging the fuck out of them. I’m digging the fuck out of everything, they all look so, so, soooo much better since they got transplanted. I mean, I don’t think those photos are gonna make you go,“Oh, HELL YEAH. minitiger’s convinced me to grow those Malawi Golds just based on those pics!” or anything. I just figured I’d put it out there.
I do like the vibe I’m getting from them, though. I hope I get at least a couple females, didn’t even realize it was day 41 until I labeled those pics this morning. Guess I oughta start checking for pre-flowers haha…

plant looks awesome. I love the fan leaves.
I’m glad everything is recovering and your plants are taking off.

Thanks, dude. The Mullumbimby/Oaxacans x Dream Lotus are looking reeeealllyyyy fucking promising, too, super-stoked about those. I’m super-stoked about all of them! haha.
It is pretty crazy just how much better the Mullum etc plants look since they got transplanted, though. They looked like absolute shit the day of, but they’re exploding now. I’m really happy about that haha.

They don’t look like the pictures of my friends Malawi that he’s vegging but am interested to see how those turn out.

Alright, alright… Point taken haha.
What do his look like? Narrower leaves? Wider internodes? Or…?
Either way, I think it’d be cool if you checked those out. You’d be getting cuts, right? Doesn’t seem like it’d be too much of a hassle to just veg some, anyway, and if they get too crazy, you know… Trash them haha.
Yeah, they kinda do. Two of them have a sorta “bent leaf” thing going on that I’ve read is a marker of Cuban Black Haze. Not that I think they’re related at all, but yeah, you can see it in that pic of the #5 plant. Whether or not that means anything, I dunno, but it’s interesting, anyway.
Yeah, man, you do you haha.

Hard to tell from the pictures about the internode spacing. I’m guessing they are no more than a month old. The leaves are more narrow for sure though.
It’s a real possibility, but we haven’t discussed that yet. I was thinking of popping a few of my own in case one of us gets unlucky with males.

Oh, right, I forgot that those were seeds you were considering planting. For some reason I was thinking that that Malawi was something that was already being grown and you were just gonna get cuts, even though we just discussed how you should plant those seeds yesterday haha.
In any event, yeah, that’d be cool to see those. I’d like to see them, anyway.
Yeahhhh, I know… Those were just some quick pics I took when I watered yesterday, took some quick ones of everything since I had the camera out. Those are definitely not the “official weekly pics,” though.
