Beets will scare the bejeezus out of you as well. "OMG, bloody stool!!"

Not.

Had that happen to me with red wine when I drank a bottle over the course of a day
Then again with blueberries this year..had to ask my husband ….hey….sooo…the bathroom situation ……he cut me off and said.. wheeeeeew….. yours dark too? I said.. yeah..

Then we cut back on the berries.
We enjoyed the great flow it gave us, but the color…?
Stop..

Someone said beets?
I love those things!!!
I've never noticed…

So, did you take the day off before and after?
Of course after, right?

It was a Saturday morning. I worked the Friday and did my prep after work. Then Saturday spent the afternoon eating like a freak.

The record is in hours? I did both doses per the directions, and didn't get any movement worth mentioning for at least a day.....

Well you may be the winner then. Usually its 30 minutes later or less and all hell breaks loose.

I have chronic constipation, from the massive amounts of diuretics (read: vitamin pee) it takes to keep me alive.

After giving up on every oral prescription that my doctor has tried, Poop Like a Champion every morning did manage to get things moving...slowly...for almost a week...before it too stopped working:

Having given birth to 5+ pound concrete-hard deuces every few months, I don't wish my level of constipation on anybody.....

I've done that with more than labels. But yes, labels are way too small.

And that's still giving them a break... I'd like to take them further back when you were given a tennis ball and your only online game was playing "Wire Ball" or "Step Ball"... Lets see how many of you know what that is... It might have been a Philly or New York thing.. I'm not sure...

The killer for me are the surface-mount resistors and capacitors being used these days. Reading the numbers on them is nearly impossible without using a microscope. I finally broke down a few years ago and bought an "old man" soldering station with a 3X lighted magnifier:

We played "stoop ball" which I think is the same as step ball, but not wire ball. I think that involved throwing the ball over powerlines.

Can you imagine shoving kids now out the door to play and saying come back when the street lights come on? They would stand in the yard like lost puppies.
