…I’d forgotten I’d taken a multiple vitamin earlier in the day, and next time I pee, I’m momentarily alarmed because my piss looks like plutonium flavored Kool-Aid…
I always dislike that first morning piss when it’s all concentrated and dark. I know it’s just because I’ve been sleeping and haven’t had any liquids in several hours but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s bad to have urine that color. Irrational I know. But still.
I hate it when I forget I ate beets and become alarmed by orange/pink urine. Or the next day magenta poop makes me think I am dying of some kind of hemorrhage.
HA! That reminds me… Last year my husband had to be rushed to the ER for an unrelated matter (he’s ok now) and was asked to give a urine sample. He forgot to warn the staff that he’d had beets the night before. You should have seen the look of alarm on their faces when he handed them the cup!
You eat beets?! :eek:
Taken directly from the garden, boiled and eaten still hot with butter. Yummy!
Yes, chuckle. Love them!
On purpose?
Did your pee teach you nothing?
And forget??? That’s like saying “Until I pooped fur, I forgot I ate a live badger”.
Had some homemade birthday cake that went overboard on the food coloring a few months ago. She dyed the batter and the frosting vivid dark blue and gold for a UoM fan, that made everyone’s next morning a wee bit startling.
Beeturia? Am I the only one thinking band name!?
Meet the Beeturia
So that’s why my pee has been a little funny this week. But I don’t care because I loves me some beets.
Last week I had the best salad ever. Mixed greens with red and golden beets, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, and warm goat cheese.
Now I’ve got to go get some fresh beets, thank you so very much.
Do you ever serve them with the leaves? They’re really good that way.
I wanted to buy some fresh ones last weekend. The supermarket had them for $2.99 a bunch. How big was a bunch? Three. That’s a buck a beet. Screw that!
When my kids were tiny, they used to *“scare dad” *by putting a beet, or even a can of beets, in my bed (they were the only food they’d seen me afraid of). But for them to SEE me be scared, they’d have to try to convince me to go to bed at 7. So i’d start yawning, go upstairs, pull back the covers and… AHHHHHHH! Much giggling ensued, especially because I was too scared to touch it, so I couldn’t get rid of it…
And how long have I waited for a Beets ‘n’ Pee thread? Decades, man…
Can beet pee be as bad as “I ate my fill of asparagus” pee?
Why don’t you try them and let us know how they compare?
Last time I had beets I put a post-it note on the bathroom door to remind me so I don’t freak the fuck out after pooping.
The note said, “Beets, fool. Not blood”. Confused the heck out of my husband.
I always knew there was something unnatural about beets. It’s probably why Dwight Shrute grows them. As a rule, I don’t eat anything magenta.
And hell yeh, asparagus piss? Smells like egg farts. I don’t eat beets or asparagus, but mostly because they taste ugly.
Grape pop makes my poop green. I SAID, IT MAKES MY POOP GREEN!
Although, I kinda like green poop, so it doesn’t count.
