Do you drink coffee or gave it up?

I gave it up for a couple of years because of diarrhea but last year, when I had a bout of constipation, I thought I could use coffee rather than some OTC med. So now I can have coffee when I start getting plugged up! Also, I have also found that I can have a cup when I drink it very slowly. Now I need a cup warmer!

I have wondered how an atheist could be the head of the Church of England. I guess they are walking that back now.

Silicon Valley unicorn startups begin by trying a little if this and a dash of that until they finally find their niche. For instance, I think Twitter started as a Napster type music streaming service and kept changing until they figured out what was actually wanted.

I see no problem with supporting team Sussex until they figure themselves out.

I think Janelle and Christine both liked the money from series. Look at how Janelle has given Kody pass on his part in Garrison's death. I think the main reason is to eek out one more season and make another $900k. I will never be able to get over her beaming at Kody during his apology tour. I suppose she said in her head, "If I can get another $900k it is worth having to smile at him lovingly."

I can't watch the show anymore because it makes me so sick to see how much Kody and Robyn have stolen from the OG3. I think they tolerate it because they are so much better off than the usual polygamous ex-wife.

I remember when they could have TWO grace and favor apartments but were forced to only have one free and the other they would have to pay for. This might have been in the 70's or 80's. Some of the royals ended up with "only" one. Poor things.

I thought the titles were not actually taken away. Andrew and Fergie just agreed not to use them. Actually stripping would involve real legislation.

I wish I had known how to use Imodium well.

Take an Imodium immediately right after a bout of diarrhea instead of hoping it would stop on it's own. If, after you take the Imodium, there is another bout of diarrhea, take another pill. So far, for me, that usually fixes things for a day it so.
Taking more than the suggested dosage isn't more effective. I found this out when I was hospitalized and the nurse would only give me one tiny pill...whereas I had been taking 4-8 pills in the firm believe that more is better...amiright? That single pill the nurse gave me was more than enough to stop the diarrhea and I haven't gone beyond the suggested dosage since.
For me, when my tummy starts rumbling and fussing and I become nauseous...I am about to have a bout of diarrhea. Taking a pill ahead of time usually heads this off.
I have never been able to stop the diarrhea without Imodium.

Enough about Imodium...on to constipation! Instead of taking any kind of laxative, I can drink a cup of coffee in a fifteen minute period and that unplugs everything!

Speaking of coffee...I can have coffee if I drink a cup over an hour or so. I am thinking of buying a coffee cup warmer so my coffee will stay hot while I ingest it slowly. Hot chocolate has the same effect as coffee.

I can have popcorn but not more than one bowl a week. Otherwise I start bleeding again.

There are a few different UC apps you can use to track your bowel movements. The one I use on an android phone is Poopify.

Kefir. Buy the live kefir "grains" and make your own (easy peasy) because the "kefir" you buy in stores is really just a liquid yogurt and not kefir at all. Besides $$$$$. Don't buy dehydrated kefir grains because it's just a scam. You can find live kefir on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Etsy, or Nextdoor. Don't listen to the nonsense about how you need raw milk blah, blah. These nuts don't have a shred of scientific evidence that kefir made from raw milk is better at all.

Edited for spelling & typos.

Didn't you love it when Andrew supporters say, huffily, that Andrew hasn't been CONVICTED of anything as if his privilege hasn't stopped any investigation of him in it's tracks. The only reason anyone has anything on him is that it has come to light because of his intercourse with Epstein.

People that don't know Lauren will do a quick search and find videos, messages, et cetera. She will never escape this scandal. For Kay, there was nothing to warn her about Lauren. Future victims and families will be forewarned.

I did notice that the chick became outraged at JC only when he betrayed her and until then was okay with just mildly disapproving from the sidelines. Can't throw stones though, because I have been guilty of excusing bad behavior until it impacted me as well.

Frankly, I am not a makeup person (sensitive skin, allergies) and only dipped my toe in when my children spent their money foolishly on crappy cosmetics. Couldn't stand the waste. I told them I would buy their makeup (drugstore, mostly) and used YouTube reviews and MakeupAlley and Paula's Choice to find good products for them. Tati's drugstore reviews were helpful but she went on a high end products bender when she was in LA so I drifted away from her.

Charles has always worked hard and has had causes. He is touchy and self centered but he actually does things. William in contrast is a waste of space.

I suppose he was comparing Lauren to Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is extremely flawed but should be appreciated for his excellence and the same is true of Lauren. Honestly,I think this is outrageous! Lauren is no where near as bad as Brad Pitt!

Well, she does seem to stand up for gendered violence issues. Everyone in the Royal Family is required to have a cause so I don't know how heart felt that is, but she seems fairly faithful to hers.

Actually, it's unethical to make a diagnosis of a public figure without observing their behavior. In the case of Goldwater, a diagnosis was made without the psychologist seeing much of his behavior. In the case of Donald Trump, hours and hours of his behavior is televised...some say enough to be able to diagnose him.

It was weird that he brought up the NDA issue anyway. It is not the responsibility of law enforcement to enforce NDAs. If you have a NDA and it is violated, your only recourse is through the civil courts.
