70's guy living in The Villages, Central FL, to exchange conversation with others (especially women!) about life with an ostomy bag. I did stand up for 15 years in So. Calif. and I've learned to apply my comedy talents (some will debate the word "talent") to my life as a "bag man". I'm open, honest and would like to share experiences.

Not my style. I did "short story" bits. For 15 years I was at every comedy club in So. Calif. Worked with some famous comedians.

“Every morning with my coffee, I read here and feel wrapped in warmth - I hardly post, but it still feels like family.”
“Our oncologist literally wrote down the link; they said more patients need this website.”
“This place pulled me out of the dark. I went from lurking to living again.”
“At 3am, someone’s awake somewhere in the world. I’m never alone here.”

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.

Glad to have you aboard, Jack... this place could use a little stand-up. Not saying, taken as a whole, we're not funny... we're a friggin' riot! But there's always room for improvement. Because if we can't laugh at all this crap (pun intended)... we're probably gonna cry. And no one wants that!
Here's one for "X"... how do you make a hormone?
Don't pay her.
Hey, I never said I was a comedian... that's Jack's gig! Feel free to jump in and help me out anytime, Jack. Anytime.

Here's one:
A little boy wakes up three nights in a row when he hears a thumping sound coming from his parents' room.
Finally one morning he goes to his mom and says, "Mommy, every night I hear you and daddy making noises and when I look in your bedroom you're bouncing up and down on him."
His mom is taken by surprise and says, "Oh, well I'm bouncing on his stomach because he's fat and that makes him thin again." And the boy says, "Well, that won't work!"
His mom says, "Why?!?"
The boy replies, "Because the lady next door comes by after you leave each day and blows him back up!"
