Happy Thanksgiving!

Continuing the theme from yesterday one last time this week and bringing our long disused blog mascot front and center, I wish all my readers a happy Thanksgiving!

I think front and center is the last place Ene-man would be at home. Center, yeah, but front? Not so much. :)

Count on EneMan to be there when it counts!
He won't let you get caught sitting down on the job!
He may be bringing up the Rear, but EneMan's got your back!

That turkey (indeed, the "feast") looks a bit small for the number of people. Do you think Eneman curbs their appetites? The notion would suppress mine.

But, seriously, is there any indication that a person can spend less time running to the toilet in prep for a colonoscopy if one restricts one's intake of solids in the days preceding the prep?

Joe, no, not really. Especially with the amount of fluids you need to take, most of the trips to the toilet is for fluids. Also there is a multi-day prep period which does involve restricting certain foods, and not eating any food for a period before the colonoscopy.
