In case you have ever had or will have to have a colonoscopy (which means ALL of us)
Barry's colonoscopy journal: ====================== I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis .. Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner.Diddy and Ellen do four shots of vodka in taste test
Diddy was on Ellen today and she set up a taste test for the mogul in honor of Cinco de Mayo. (Video below) Diddy has developed his own vodka for Cîroc and receives half of the profits.

1 lime, cut into wedges
20 to 24 fresh mint leaves

Arnold Palmer or "Half & Half"
I frequently buy the Arizona Tea version of this drink, but it's fun and more economical to make your own. Just mix equal parts of Lemonade and Tea together for a refreshing drink. If you want to make it with alcohol, try adding vodka or your favorite flavored vodka to it.
Cranberry Punch
My family and I made this delicious punch Christmas Eve, and it was amazing! I replicated it in individual serving sizes for a small New Year's Eve get together at my place, and my guests couldn't get enough!
