PUMPKIN OSTOMATE

Hi Eveyone

now that halloween is upon us all the goulish posts are showing up on Facebook

My niece from the Carolinas who i  haven't seen for years shared someones post

of a beautiful big orange pumpkin with a colostomy bag attached to its side which is half full of pumpkin seeds

when i first saw it i thought  Hmmmmm not very funny! but after looking at it again it made me laugh

I'm sure my niece has forgotten that I have one....she is a nurse so is probably very aware of ostomies and she is a lovely person

who I know woulnt want to hurt mine or anyones feelings....I put a LOL and laughing face on it and wrote a comment which says

" OUCH if that was how my ostomy worked I would be in Hospital with a blockage" LOL

I knew she and all her friends and other members of my family who might not even know I have an ostomy would see it

Someone must have really put some thought into that and I have never seen an ostomy joke before so think it is quite unique

How do you feel about it..what are some of your thoughts?

I really needed to share this with you and hope it puts a smile on your face...

cheers!

Ange,

I saw a similar post and couldn't help feeling that the pouch could have gone to someone who needs supplies. Seems kind of a waste. 

Yes I have seen that. Lots of pumpkin 🎃 pics and jokes floating around.

Hello Ange. 

That sounds like a laugh to me! Humour is a 'funny' thing, and not everyone views it in the same way. I have found that most humour is in some way detrimental to somebody, so if one takes exception to it, then there will not be much to laugh about in modern societies. 

Best wishes

Laughter is the best medicine in whatever way, shape or form, the ability to not take life seriously with a positive attitude is one of the best ways to enjoy this life in my opinion.  

Dame Edna Everage — 'Never be afraid to laugh at yourself. After all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century.'

yep and this is pretty much the way punkin comes out too! :-)

Sorry folks...........I think that's hysterical.  I wouldn't have even gotten that a few years ago, back when I didn't know anything about ostomies and now, unfortunately, I fully get it.  I think if you can't make fun of yourself, no matter what the condition, you're ready for the glue factory. 

I had a co-worker (Military guy) send me an email today after I responded to his email yesterday about a technical problem we were having with one of our weapons systems.  I explained what I was pretty sure I knew what the problem was and explained.  In his reply he said that he agreed with my reasoning, but that if I was wrong and this turned into a long troublesome investigation (as most in the past have) that he'd punch me in the stomach.  Locker room talk, so don't get excited, but I replied back something to the effect;

I guess you've never seen my stomach.  With my ostomy bag........if  you hit me in the stomach it would sort of be like kicking me in the ass at the same time.  So go right ahead, but I'm not cleaning up the mess!

We both saw the humor in that and got a good chuckle out of it.  Life sucks way too much at times not to lighten up whenever you can.  So good for the folks who make ostomates out of pumpkins. It sucks that I get the humor in that, but luckily there's only a very small group of other folks who can fully appreciate the humor in it.............but I for one do. 

Awesome sauce!

I also saw this post I wonder if who ever did the post had an ostomy or knew someone who did.

Hi Mark

I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of the pumpkin has an ostomy and used one of their own pouches.

take care

Angela

Hey Bob a pumpkin ostomate would be a great tattoo for you....but you could only show it off at Halloween...I remember your post about
how you were thinking about getting an ostomy tattoo....LOL

Cheers!

Ange

I think you might be right Lovely.

One more

Genius. And gross too.  Placing the bag near the chin on the first one made no sense to me. Their artisic juices were flowing..but ..we osties get it.  Funnier would be attach a left and right bag to the pumkins ears. But maybe it would look like a dog instead?? The last picture says it all.  Thanks for pisting all pics. 

JUST FOR LAUGHS.

I write this verse for those who may
use humour in communiqué.
Witty gems that are so funny
cannot be bought for vulgar money.

Give me just one laugh a day
to keep my sadder thoughts at bay.
I would go that extra mile
to bring forth a deep-felt smile.

Sometimes it’s easy to be sad
with all the problems I have had.
But when I read those jokes out loud
it tends to lift the darkest cloud.

Jokes can lift emotions high.
They make me laugh or sometimes cry.
If they are wicked or filthy
they tend to make me feel guilty.

I feel I should not laugh at jokes
that ridicule less able folks.
For I have seen the darker half
of these things that make us laugh.

I never seemed to have the mind
to laugh at things that are unkind.
What some humour does for me
is simply raise my empathy.

I am confused to be amused
with all of my emotions fused.
That which should not make me smile
will steal my self-respect a while.

Nonetheless, I giggle too
at humour aimed at me and you.
Out goes all my good intent
as it gives way to merriment.

But I can’t seem to help myself.
Humour creeps along with stealth.
Even under saddest cloud
suddenly I’ll laugh out loud.

So I pay tribute to the ones
who produce the jokes and puns.
They bring me pleasure midst the pain.
A laugh is treasure found again.

YOU’VE GOTTA LAUGH.

Here here!  Well said by the Rhyme Guy!  It's good to see some things are timeless. 

Thanks Bill!

Hi Guys,

  Here's a few more I found while dinking around on the computer.........enjoy!

bob

I would never think of doing something like that I just don't have that much imagination. LOL

I've seen a few of these and I think they're pretty funny and amusing and also very creative. I'm not offended at all. We have to laugh at ourselves. I have been doing drawings of ostomates for years, sometimes trying to incorporate different holidays or events into design. Attached is is my Halloween drawing for this year. I hope you like it!

PJT........that's pretty darn cool!  Nice work!

regards,

bob

Thanks Bob.

Wow!! awesome
