- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Green tea can be high in oxalates and most likely was responsible for my first kidney stone.
But when think the comic is pointing out hypocrisy as opposed to the heath benefits of one product vs another
I remember when I was young I worked outside in the heat and drank just iced tea all summer long.
That also led to 12 hours writhing on the floor of the ER and my first experience in understanding how death can be preferable to life. The stone passed fine eventually once it got to the bladder, but the path from the kidney to bladder was some of the most violent, life-shattering pain I could have imagined.
I relate so much except mine shattered and I required a ureteroscopy to go pull out the 3 fragments, after 48 hours of intense pain.
You can look up ureteroscopy as a procedure if you like, but I can assure you it is just as much fun to have done as it is to spell
I think I'm good on that. They gave me all kinds of warnings and preparation for crazy shit they were prepared to do if it was "bad" but I don't remember a word they said, either before the morphine or after, for opposite reasons.
If you drank it with milk you'd have been fine
Thanks .. I'll let my self know that 4 years ago.
You are welcome
