Today was not exactly what you would call fun. Yesterday was rather less so. If I say polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution, does that give anyone a hint what I was doing? Oh dear. No fun at all. Why does so many in my vicinity have so many health problem right now? |

Nope, glycol is found in anti-freeze, I doubt you were drinking that. And yes I just looked it up, no comment. CA HSR built a foundation, is laying Track!

This is polyethylene glycol. I know what it says on the data sheet from the pharmacy.

Polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution (PEG-ES) is a completely different thing. And you have to drink that. https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601097.html |

The moment a motorcyclist was knocked unconscious on his bike travelling at 225km/h before it crashed into side of the racetrack. :-O Not fun. Almost been taken out by bits of debris coming out of a trailer & a couple of utes myself. Grant Darwin NT |

Poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG) should never be confused with ethylene glycerol. Ethylene glycol (EG) is frequently used in automotive anti-freeze, and is toxic PEG is a polymer made from EG, and has a wide range of uses, including anti-foam in soft drinks and "texturing" soft drinks - it is classified as "safe" when used as a food additive, but in bulk quantities the lower molecular weight polymers are toxic. EG is a liquid, PEG ranges from a viscous liquid to a waxy solid depending on its molecular weight.

Okay, so everyone seems to have figured it out. They removed four small polyps and some samples for biopsy. No results of analyses yet. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I had my last colonoscopy the end of March, no polyps and I choose to not have anesthesia. Fascinating to watch on the large color monitor. Too bad they didn't make a DVD. |

Quadruple Axel. That's a term in figure skating when you jump and manage to do four turns in the air before landing. My second name is Axel. I have sort of done that stunt. No. It so happens that once I sat at a table together with 3 other guys. We all shared the name Axel. Me, a friend of mine and his father and his son. What are the odds for that? |
