Hi

Does anyone use the Coloplast 11474 and 10512? I have been using a 1 pc. But would like the convenience of just removing the bag because after one day of wear it just smells.

Harold and the twins Mick and Vic had been friends since childhood. Harold was well liked in town, but Mick and Vic were well known jerks who were not in good favor with the townspeople. Harold was often asked why he continued to remain friends with the obnoxious Mick and Vic. Harold could only reply that he knew they were a couple of jerks, but he got along with them since they had known each other for so long.

One dark and rainy night, Harold was attempting to run across a highway when he was hit by a semi-truck. The truck driver stopped and immediately called the sheriff who quickly responded to the scene. When he got there, it was an absolute mess. The body was so mangled that the sheriff could not recognize who it might be. About that time, his deputy arrived and took a look for himself. He was baffled as to the identity as well. 

The sheriff had the body taken to the county coroner for further inspection. In the bright light of the morgue, the coroner told the sheriff and his deputy that he couldn't be sure, but it looked a little like Harold. The deputy knew that Harold was friends with Mick and Vic, so he suggested that they be called to respond and see if they could help with identification.

Mick and Vic were in their usual state of obnoxiousness, but reluctantly they agreed to come to the morgue. Once there, the coroner took them in one at a time to view the remains of the body. Mick went in first and immediately turned the body over and declared that this was not Harold, because this body only had one asshole, and Harold had two. Vic was then brought in and the exact thing happened again with Vic declaring that this was not Harold, because Harold had two assholes.

The coroner asked how they could be sure that Harold had two assholes and Mick replied, "Because every time the three of us went somewhere, somebody would always point and say, 'look there goes Harold with the two assholes!' ".

I have posted this before but noticed the original clip doesn't function, and even though it's a PSA for road safety, I often return to this to remember to chill and "enjoy the ride" of life!

hey guys, 

i do hope you are all well.. I’ve had my bag for a year and a half and I must say it hasn’t impacted my sexual life too much but what it has done is prevented that personall connection needed.. sorry if if I’m not being clear, let me try and explain.. ok, so I’m with my man and we have enjoyed a sexual experience but when he wants to lay and relax I have to jump up and ‘ empty my bag.’ Or if we’re getting ‘frisky ‘ I seems to ruin it by having to go and ‘empty ‘ my bag.. do you think it would be easier to been in a sexual relationship with another ‘baggy’?!? .. and another issue I have is sleeping over as I need to burp my bag and yes it smell toooo gorgeous to mention... NOT.. y’all know what I mean by that smell from burping your bag.. I think I might just stay single .. I feel a wee bit sad actually about it all.. FFS 

Hi, I am new to this site, and joined because I have a permanent end ileostomy due to a small bowel transplant in 2009. Since then I have had 8 additional related surgeries and am now being scheduled for a complete proctocolectomy in May. I am trying to find the right post op pillow, with a budget of about $65.00 USD. I have read a lot about how not to use a donut pillow, and I can't afford a ROHO so I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. Also, other any words of advice/wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In the forest, an old beech tree and an old birch tree resided next to each other. In between them a smaller tree had sprouted some years before. The beech and the birch had been arguing all that time about who the smaller tree was descended from. Finally, they decided to contact a woodpecker to get a third opinion. They explained the controversy and wondered if the woodpecker could help them out.

The woodpecker agreed since he was a professional at judging different species of wood. First he pecked a sample from the beech tree and immediately compared it to the younger tree. Next, he tapped a sample from the birch tree and again made a comparision.

The beech and the birch asked for his verdict. The woodpecker said,"Since the smaller tree is a female, it's definitely not a son of a beech, and it's also not a son of a birch. But I will say," the woodpecker continued, "that's the best damned piece of ash I've ever had my pecker into."

Assistance Dog
At a risk of upsetting site gods ..

Hello world,
Some may know, some not, my partner Sue died last Oct.

About 2 months before Sue's demise I/we got to know a, just, post op colo rectal, late stage, aggressive cancer survivor, Stephanie, she has an 80% chance of it returning.

Stephanie is on here, mao

She is a very sharp and astute Lady with a zest for life and Sue knew of
Stephanie, albeit briefly.

Stephanie and I were almost symbiotic in helping each other through the last crappy 6 months, no pun.

She has started a crowd funding page to pay for an assistance dog, it is
not a high target and the dog would be of immense help to/for her.
Read more of why on the fund me page.

Whatever you choose please share to try and help.

There are 2 links:

This one to the fund me page, which for those techy folk with
social media could share, Please do. The dog pic is generic/library ...

NO ADVERTS!

This is to Stephanies own website, chronicling her journey, she, given the
subject, is a very engaging writer, a few on here are comparable and it may make just one person go seek medical advice sooner...

The total she is trying to raise is not an insurmountable sum shared between many.

Even if you choose not to donate Please share links.

It's a beautiful sunny day in yorkshire, uk, and today the swallows have arrived back from their annual African holiday.

I hope you're all as well as can be.

Thank you for reading.

We are on the bus heading back to the hotel and I smell bad gas and thinking it is me I just want to get off the bus, but we wait till it is our stop and rush to our room. I check myself and all is tight. What’s relief it was not me. Funny how easy it is to get in a panic. Having a really good time.

The following are excerpts from a Pastor and me.

Right now there hundreds of radio frequencies in the air. Hundreds of television signals all around us. Yet we are not recieving any of them. The reason , we are not tuned in . If we were to get a radio turned in to the desired station, we would hear it loud and clear.

To often we're not turned to that frequency. We have to pay attention to what we're feeling on the inside. . You may have an uneasiness when you don't feel good about something. That's not just your nerves, thats the little voice saying "Go slow, be careful there's danger up ahead."

It can be be a prompting , a suggestion, all of a sudden you have a desire to check on your child. Or to call your parents and check on them. Trust your gut. A better way to put it is trust your sensor. There are times you'll get an intuition or hunch. You know something just can't explain it and you don't have the facts to back you up. You just know what you know.

When shopping at the mall or any place else, when one don't feel good about a purchase, no big deal, we put it back.  At the office, we feel an uneasiness towards a certain person, we back away.  At home, we feel a prompting to spend time with our family and we obey. At night we hear that suggestion , turn the television off you need your rest we turn it off.

Pat attention to what your feeling. Don't ignore the impressions, the promptings. It's a still voice that only you can hear.  If your going to hear the whisper, you'll have to be quiet and listen. when you feel uncomfortable don't over-ride the alarms. Pull back and see what is being said within yourself. Could it be you are being given a way out, to protect you from danger? But you are overriding the alarm.  Again, that person or entity you feel an unrest or uneasiness toward them and the alarm starts going off. They may appear nice, friendly and kind but you can't exactly put your finger on it, something is not right.

Alot of people are not who they say they are. They might seem fine on the outside, but they may have deceptives motives. They want to be your friend for what you can, may or will do for them. There takers and never givers. Once they use you up, they move on to the next person, this thing can go on and on. No matter how good you look or how fine she is, or how much money he has. He may be tall, handsome and rich, but if you hear the alarm going off, you need to be smart enough to walk away. All that glitter is not gold. Don't override the alarm. If they not the right person for you, that means that the creator has someone better in store for you.

They may be a good person but just not good for you . You must trust your sensors and not override the alarm. The creator will lead you down the right path. If you don't have peace before making any decision you won't have peace afterwards.

Are you turned in to the right frequency?

Respectively,

Angelicamarie

The hourly wage 33 cents

A gallon of gasoline was 25 cents and a loaf of bread was 5 cents.

The average price for a new car $500,00

the median home price was 3,200

My dearest great aunt passed a way in 2003. During the time since her birth and death, the following events occured or things were invented.

1917:Radio tuner

1923:Self Winding watch

1929:Car radio

2001: 911, the attack on New York, USA occurred, I mentioned this in respect to all those who perished and the fact that my dearest aunt lived only miles and minutes from the attacked area. I am so thankful that she survived. As you see from the dates and things listed above, my great aunt lived to see some great things and horrible events happen. But most important, she lived to see me enter adulthood and marriage and see my babies. RIP Aunty, she was and still is my special person.

Sincerly,

HERNIA PREVENTION.

Hernias can be prevented
and many theories they’ve presented
as to how and why and where
you can avoid them with great care.

First and foremost, you don’t move
unless a medic will approve.
Don’t lift a kettle, boil an egg,
raise an arm or shake a leg.

Do nothing that you did in past
and never anything too fast.
If you lay flat on your back
and do not move you’ll be on track.

In fact, it’s better you stay still
as if you’re terminally ill.
Then this regime can circumvent
the upcoming hernia event.

You are perhaps allowed a smile
but only for a little while.
Just make sure that it’s not bigger
than a titter or a snigger.

Whatever you do, do not laugh
for that could be your epitaph.
As laughing can exert the strain
that could create hernia pain.

But worst of all, please do not cough
for that could start a hernia off.
And if you sneeze I am afraid
a hernia is the price that’s paid.

It’s best if we all go to sleep
and then I think we may all keep
the dreaded hernia at bay
until we want to wake one day.
