ERRRTCH! WRONG!
It is PROPYLENE glycol.
Ethylene glycol will kill you just like a dog.
They also prescribe magnesium citrate for prep.
There are several, some nastier than others, but none of them are Ethylene glycol.

Did not know that about the Kennedy car. They should have just retired/memorialized it. Yes, creepy that other Presidents had to use it.
Not creepy at all. It was on purpose....think about it.
Creepy for the next guy that wanted to mess with the CIA and the FEDReserve.
Now you understand why taking your newborn to the village witch was such an important rite of passage in the olden days.
I'm guessing they did it as a reminder of what happens when you fuck with the deep state.

So much truth here! Too many of the “Classics” either bored me to tears or depressed me a lot. Tracy Hickman, James H. Schmitts, Louis L’Amour, Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, and others kept my love of reading alive
^^^This! Hidden in plain sight inHarry Potter were the histories of WW2, King Arthur, socialism, British being gits in general, and endless life lessons like loyalty, friendship and “Who Dares Wins.”
Don’t care what they are reading if it gets them immersed in books!
Except Twilight. Twilight is still ghey!
Sirhr
Reading was so important to me as a kid. I read Watership Down and all of the Chronicles of Narnia in 3rd grade. Where the Red Fern Grows, The Hobbit, Robinson Crusoe and many others followed.
I searched out and bought some nice copies a couple of years ago for my grandson to have when he is older.
Here is a portion of them. Most are excellent condition former library books.
My 10 year old (5th grader) is a 4 time million word reader. He’s reading books that my high school sophomore nephew hasn’t read yet because his reading level isn’t as high lol. We encourage reading as does his school. Kid got up at 6 this morning and read for an hour
Read “Where the Ref Fern Grows” probably a dozen times growing up. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, Swiss Family Robinson, Ole Yeller, Savage Sam and others were staples, as well. Around age 10 I found a book written by a marine who served in the 1st Division on Peleliu and Okinawa. After that I devoured books on American wars.
Yep
Does take a good bit of Ethylene glycol to kill a human. Eith the 50/50 premix, woukd be a lot to drink. And a miserable way to go. Will knock out the kidneys first so you can suffer on HD if you dont die.
Have had more than one who tried.
We give em a med called Flumipizol (sp) and emergent dialysis.
They do fine health wise.
Then the trip to the psych hospital.
Been a while since I have done that, but remember it well.
My last pooh chute scope, the prep was a breeze.
Clear liquids after midnight.
Around 1400, took a couple laxatives and then drink some powerade mixed with the Miralax (propylene glycol brand name)
Easy peasy by 2100, no wet farts in my sleep.
Drink a little more the next AM, few farts you knew not to trust, and doc said it was clean as a whistle.
Propofol was great. Out quick and zero hangover effect (hate benzos or any opiate)
Funniest part of that trial was when Mark Richards was repeating that to the jury, but was using the hard "R".
Made for some very good sound clips.
I cancelled my appt. Didn't want to, but the prep was (excuse the pun) asinine. Starting diet 5 days in advance, no nuts, no red meat, no this, no that. 2 days in advance, drink the prep juice, shit yer brains out. No food after that. Night before, drink the second dose of prep juice, shit yer brains out. No food. Basically starve you to death for 3 or 4 days ahead of time. No thanks. Will probably find another Doc with better prep.
Doc who probably believes in all the Seattle BS.
Not necessary per my doc, who’s office has 6 busy GI docs and 4 NPsand all use the same prep protocol.
Nurse who called me and emailed instructions did say a lighter diet day before going clear liquids was a wise choice.
So I had green chili all 3 meals that day!!
Wanted some burn to go along with 35 trips to the crapper!!
and plan for an entire package of wet wipes (get the water only kind, the ones with a cleanser in them burn!!)
Have had more than one friend with colon CA. Most recently our shared friend FM.
Worth it to avoid that IMO.
Yep, you're describing the prep thatI'm accustomed to having. I'm going to go back to my old Doc that used the old prep method. It was bad enough.
I will add Anne McCaffrey (Dragon riders of Pern), Lois Mcmaster Bujold (vorkosigan series) , Terry Pratchett (Discworld) , and W. E. B. Griffin (brotherhood of war and corps series) to a list of great authors. For someone that is still writing, Jim butcher is pretty good (Dresden).
Elsewhere on the internet and personal email is under something book related. Once upon a time (2011) I was curious about my reading speed so I tested it over a month. Working 40 hours a week, a Bible study class a week, church for 3 hours a sunday, and a date in that period.
11645 pages in a month including both the Brotherhood of War and Corps series by web Griffin.
Have McCaffery and LMB on the shelf along with David Drake, David Webber, Eddings, J.T. Edson, Greg Walker, Dan Ringo, Ian Fleming,and others.
One set of shelves in the Crap Room (pardon the mess).
Looking at this, I see some old friends that I need to revisit.
. This doesn’t count the longer sets of shelves in the two bedrooms or the two 3’ x 6’ freestanding bookshelves in the living room that are full too.
Some of you may also see some old friends too.

I got in trouble in AP English for pointing out that most of the "classics" were considered classic because they were bland and didn't piss anyone off. We never read Voltaire or Twain's nonfiction books in high school.
This isn't 20% (still working on bookshelves); variety keeps things fun (and yes, I do have Gould's Structure of Evolutionary Theory next to Dune, Proust nestled up to Warhammer 40k, and Nabokov swapping bullshit stories with Clancy and L'Amour somewhere).
Not a single one of you mentioned David Gemmel? For those not scared to try a new author, give his books a bash.
I’ve read his Jon Shannow books. An interesting alternative reality series.
