I have mellow yellow jellow, broth made from free-range chickens, lemon sherbet without dairy products, Gatorade (without red coloring), Pedialyte, Sprite soda, white tea, and, I found to my disgust, Mountain Dew soda. And water. I take four (4) Biscodyl tablets (a/k/a "Black Draught") at 8 a.m. and the fun will start shortly thereafter. At 4 p.m. or so I have to drink 2 quarts of polyethylene glycol in two hours, and between the two events I have to take a "Reglan" tablet.

The city is putting an extra shift on the waste water treatment plant.
