This topic is all about finding humor and light-heartedness in the everyday experiences of living with an ostomy, especially when dining out or going about daily life. The original poster shared a series of funny photos and captions to bring a smile to fellow ostomates and help them feel more comfortable with their situation.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Humor as a Coping Tool: Many people find that laughing at themselves and sharing jokes or funny images can be a wonderful way to relieve stress before heading to work, dining out, or traveling with an ostomy.

2. Travel and Menu Awareness: One member, who spent a decade in Southeast Asia, along with others, shared amusing examples of mistranslated menu items like "Cold shredded children and sea blubber in spicy sauce" or "Prawn cock and tail." These examples highlight how translations can sometimes lead to confusion or laughter. The practical tip here is to not rely solely on English translations when abroad. If you have dietary or output-related concerns, it's a good idea to ask the staff to clarify ingredients.
