Howdy Gang,  Well, I keep my word, so as I promised in my earlier rant post...........it's time to unveil my latest CNH (that's Cool New Hat for you slo folks out there).  Now here's the dope on this head topper.......I had no intention of buying another CNH........especially so soon after getting my previous authentic fake rattlesnake CNH a few weeks ago.....but as soon as I walked into my local CVS pharmacy......BAM! There she sat on top of a pile of similar relatives just making eyes directly at me.  I was almost st...

So we're seeing firsthand all the effects of a pandemic on our modern society.  I find it rather amusing that "normal" people are so inconvenienced by simple requests to not socialize, isolate oneself, wash your hands often.......pretty minor stuff in the grand scheme of life.  Compared to us ostomates these people are just plain wimps.  If they could walk in our shoes for a few days, week, month...whatever.....imagine how much calmer the world would be today.  We all take for granted things that don't directly affect u...

Hi everybody, I hope you are keeping warm, safe and well. We have a situation here, and I may need some help in a hurry, please. Let me give you some background. Last week my brother's partner was taken into hospital for urgent surgery. She was weak already: the operation took six hours and she needed 16 units of blood after a near-fatal hemorrhage. She had a hysterectomy as expected: they found a large tumour, the cancer had spread to the intestine, so she had (we guess) a Hartmann's procedure, leaving her with a stoma. The tide of the ...

Went for a ride this morning, saw a self isolating goat .... true story.
