  1. Thanks DCB. Yep, every 5 years. Good news is I lost 5 pounds leading up to the procedure due to the colon cleanse (TMI?). Bad news is I put it all right back on with the first post-procedure meal.

  2. “Who doesn’t like Marlene Dietrich? She is totally off limits for the “GOTD”.”

    DCB, Didn’t know what Marlene Biff was talking about. I don’t think of her as a gay icon. Is she???

    As for the lawyer, I generally like to give people a second chance; I am anal when it comes to appointments and being places on time, but I know I’ve forgotten appointments (never with a client though, more like bringing the dog to the vet).

    If you trust the initial referral and got a good sense of him by phone, give him a second chance. If you had any doubt going in, find someone else.

  3. “Biff, it all sounds pretty bad, but worst in this order: 5) waiting (makes me crazy(ier)); 4) bathroom all night; 3) drinking the liquid; 2) the procedure; and 1) not eating for 2 days (which, God knows, I can afford to do).”

    CGar, that’s pretty close to what I would say. But I would put the procedure at the end (no pun intended) as the least negative part of the experience. It was totally painless as I was knocked out and didn’t feel a thing. In fact, I had an excellent, deep 20 minute nap.
