A comical beet story , I came in the house late one night from the field and I was beet and hungry as a bear but the early birds had gotten the worm so there wasn't much supper left on the stove but there was still a big batch of boiled beets left.
I tasted them and they were awesome so I ate damn near the whole kettle full of and called it good took a shower and went to bed.
Woke up early the next morning still half sleeping and took my morning leak I almost fainted and I mentally beet myself up pretty bad thinking I was pissing pure blood and thinking so this is how it's all going to end.
It took me a while to come to my senses and then I remembered eating all those beets and I laughed after I googled it .
An old family friend had passed away when I was pretty young and I remember hearing that he had been feeling just fine but he got up and pissed blood during the middle of the night and that was the last day he was ever in his house, He died a few months later in the hospital.
