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.

Darn, I got stuck with Lays. Apparently, we can't get them until November. So jelly, bud, but please enjoy and be safe.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

We made it...no major damage...still without power. They say it could be till Wednesday, but the generator is running everything we need for now, and the BBQ is feeding us. Even friggin Fiona couldn't keep me from my coffee. Life is good. Sally K, is everything okay on your end?

Same as you. Living here on the edge of eastern Canada, one is always prepared for crazy weather!

I sincerely hope our Canadian friends are not too badly off today after the storm.
In Ireland they're called "crisps". If you ask for chips, you will get a plate of French fries.
Irish "Tayto Crisps" are the best I ever tasted!! Don't know what they add? Spices etc., but they are amazing. Very unusual flavor.
