hi rusfox. thanks for the encouragement! i guess i should have used a collander, but i thought most of the stones usually float? i only passed maybe 5 or 6 tiny little green things, because i saw them floating on top. either way, you're right. no pain! no doctors! no drugs! good stuff. even though this flush was a little weak i am determined to get that gunk out of me! flushing here i come :)
