Although you need to take both bottles of SUPREP, you should not take them close together. Instead, you’ll take one the night before your exam, and the other the morning of your exam. Taking them at the same time increases the risk of vomiting.   Ask your doctor for a recommended time frame for taking the medication. It’s best to take it well before bedtime, as you’ll need to use the restroom often for the next several hours. However, everyone’s experience is different. If your colonoscopy is scheduled before 11:00 a.m., then you’ll likely take your first dose between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. If your appointment is after 11:00 a.m., then you’ll likely take the first dose between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Then, finish your morning dose and accompanying water at least 4 hours before your appointment. SUPREP must be diluted with water. Do not simply sip from the bottle, which increases the likelihood you’ll experience nausea or vomiting. The medicine must be diluted before you consume it. Your packaging will give you the proper ratio of water to SUPEP. In most cases, you’ll add 10 fluid ounces (300 mL) of water to 6 fluid ounces (180 mL) of SUPREP.  Your SUPREP kit should come with a mixing bottle that has a line at the 16  fl oz (470 mL) point. This allows you to pour your SUPREP into the bottle, then add water up to the mark. It's best to use bottled water to dilute your SUPREP. You might experience nausea and vomiting because you’re intaking too much SUPREP at one time. Your body may start to reject the medicine, causing you to vomit. You can avoid this by slowing your pace. Sip rather than taking big gulps. If you feel a little nauseous, take a break before drinking more. It’s best to rinse out your SUPREP mixing container and use it to measure out two 16  fl oz (470 mL) glasses of water. Although this is a lot of water to drink at one time, it’s essential for ensuring the medication doesn’t make you become dehydrated.  You might become dehydrated because the SUPREP causes you to have diarrhea so your colon will be empty for your test. When you have diarrhea, your body loses fluids. You need to drink more fluids to replace what's being lost. Drinking cold water after the SUPREP can also help you avoid nausea and vomiting. It washes away the flavor of the medicine and helps soothe you.

Summary: Split your SUPREP into a nightly and morning dose. Mix your SUPREP with water according to your label’s instructions. Drink the SUPREP slowly. Drink 32 fluid ounces (950 mL) of cold water over the next hour.


It is important that you don’t ask your parents for a party at a bad time. Don’t ask them too early or late in the day or when they are busy or distracted. Ask your parents for a moment of their time when they don’t seem too busy and seem like they have time to talk. Try saying something like, “Mom and Dad, do you have a minute to talk?” Your parents might not want to give you a party for no reason, but they might want to give you a party if they have a good reason to. You might want the party for your birthday and have not had a birthday party in a while. The party might be so you can get closer to new friends or get out of your shell.  For example, “I have made new friends at school this year and I think having a Halloween party would help bring us closer together. Would it be possible for me to please have a party on Halloween?” When you ask them, be calm. Don’t cry, whine, or scream. Keep your tone calm and your behavior polite. It is a lot harder to say no to someone who is being respectful and friendly when they ask than someone screaming and crying.  Say something like, “Is there any way I can please have a party for my birthday this year? It has been so long since I have had one. I would really appreciate it.” When you ask your parents for the party, offer to pay for some of the costs. Your parents might want you to have a party, but are just not able to afford it. Point out the general cost of how much you think it will be and offer to pay for some of the costs. They might just appreciate you acknowledging that the party costs money and not make you pay for any of the party. Say something like, “I calculated it and I think the party will cost around 50 dollars. If I pay the 25 dollars that I have from babysitting, can you pay for the rest so I can have a party?”

Summary: Find a good time to ask them. Come up with good reasons for the party. Stay calm and be polite. Offer to help pay.


You will need to check on the fuel and wood chips to replace them. Remember that each time you open the smoker, you will let heat escape. (0.45kg) of meat. If you believe your smoker cooks at a hotter temperature, you will want to aim for 1 hour per lb. You can also cook longer at a lower temperature.   It is better to under-cook than overcook, because you can always reinsert the meat into the smoker and cook it more. Overcooking is common with small off-set home smokers. Remember that some woods can give meat a redder color, so it will be harder to tell when it is cooked.

Summary: Check on the meat only 1 to 2 times per smoking session. Smoke approximately 1 to 1.5 hours for each lb. Rotate the meat every 2 to 3 hours. Mop some marinade on the meat each time before you turn it. Check on the meat at least 1 hour before it is scheduled to be done. Remove the meat when you have checked it and it looks done.
