Mortality

[Jogeephus]

Our mortality is something we don't think about very often. Or at least I don't. Not till yesterday anyway. You see, yesterday I had to take a leak and as I stood over the bowl I noticed my urine was blood red. Now I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure this isn't a good sign. Not wanting to worry my wife and I wasn't about to bother my doctor on the weekend I took the wait and see approach. Been feeling fine so no need to rush things right? But I have to admit it got me a little worried.

Nevertheless I went about my business and forgot about the whole thing till that night. That night I had to do some throne sitting and when I finished I noticed the water in the bowl was red. Under closer examination I noticed the turd was blood red and was leaching red into the water. Again, I am no doctor but I don't think this was a good sign. Again, I didn't want to bother anyone with this but it got me to thinking about all my plans and goals I had yet to acheive and how little time I might have left on the earth. I thought of the people I had wronged and owed apologies. I even thought of those who had wronged me and who I should grant forgiveness. With some deep reflection it became obvious to me that there was a lot of sfuff I still need to do on this earth and the time is running short so I best get to it and make the most of each and every day. Then I thought of all the beets I had eaten and how maybe I shouldn't eat beets all day - good for you or not.

Red Gatorade gave me that same scare a year or so back. It'll get your attention real quick

That one will give you quite the burning sensation too.

I'll never forget the terrified sound of my 10 year old boy, hollering from the bathroom "MOMMA, COME HERE......................"
He had eaten blue "frosty/freezy thingy". It was an awesome sight, although I can imagine how red would be much more thought provoking. You had me worried for you for a moment.

 

[dieselbeef]

hahaha..my 6 yr old did the same thing..

 

[Deepsouth]

You have a wife! :shock: I've heard it said there's someone for everyone, I guess that's true.

You're not kidding there. When I first saw it I hadn't thought anything of the pickled beet root and I had some real concern thankfully in the end its pretty darn funny.

well i'll never find out, i dont get within 50 ft. of pickled beets.... beet eaters are a select group of people..... you dont know who, are why they love them.. i can't walk up in a group of folks and pick out a beet lover

:lol: let's hope you are making the most of each and every day. The red prickly pear does the same thing.

In my student days a boyfriend and I went to watch a movie. So we were sitting there(not the back row) with our popcorn and slush puppies intently watching the movie as I recall, when he whispered in my ear "My pants are wet, we have to get out of here". My thoughts were "No, you can't be serious" but he was adamant that we leave. Got to the foyer/lighted area and low and behold the front of his pants were full of blood :shock: . We didn't know what was happening but rushed to hospital as fast as we could. He apparently popped a blood vessel, had to undergo further tests as something like that could be related to cancer. What a fright we got!!!!

 

[dieselbeef]

wow..that mustve been some date...

 

[Jogeephus]

I hope he was alright. That would be scary.

Ala, I'm not really a beet eater but I do love my pigs feet and had some beets left over and didn't want to waste them so I ate them all. Not bad once you get the first three down. Here is the prize which should be ready in a few weeks.



And no, I didn't pee in the jar even though that's what mine looked like.

i can handle some pigs feet.. though its been awhile...

Its gotta be a guy thing. For all the beets, salsa and freezy things I've consumed throughout my life, I have never seen any color changes in the bowl. I feel left out. Unless the color change is determined by the amount of "dye" consumed.

Anytime we have had beets with our supper, my husband has never commented on different colors being in the bowl.....hmmm...

Prett scary I would think, if you didn't know what it was.

I like pickled eggs, and onions. The blood thinner Coumadin and aspirin will make the bowl turn red also. I don't think the wait and see method is the way to do it myself. Sure glad it wasn't a big deal Jo.

I was on some heavy antibiotics one time that were the same size and color of a B vitamin complex supplement that my wife was taking that her doctor suggested. She brought me my "antibiotic" with dinner and I peed florescent orange for two days. It even had a distinct smell to it. That first morning pee scared me half to death. Thankfully I brought it up and she told me what she thought might have happened as her doctor ad prepared her for the shock.
