and then Franz retorted....



I have been really thinking about life. I have been thinking about friends. I have enjoyed a slight break, in case you didn't notice. I enjoyed your comments, all of them. Thank you. I concur with you AV. Psam you are a little treasure. If I was to add "little treasure" would that sound homoesque? Targo, is that a word? I think it is time for the doctor vocabulary to make another appearance. Could you? AV, is she around anymore?




I just wanna have a bit of fun. This place, our place, I feel, has become very very serious. I do want to get back to world events in a bit, but first our topic. Second, I will start a photo section. I will post photos I have found that I reckon are a little bit ultra cool.




Now our topic du jour........ dot com and all of that..... sinking sinking sinking into a deep sleep u R.




Colostomy Bags.




I have always wondered, about colostomy bags. I confess, that until I was about 18 or so, I didn't even know what they were. One of my first ever experiences with the above mentioned word went a little like this....
"...so then he came up to me, acting all tough and then started speaking to me very forcefully." my friend said. He was explaining being evicted from his small apartment by his older, beer swilling, dope smoking landlord.

"Well did you do anything? Did you say anything to him?" I asked.

"No I didn't but I wanted to punch him in his colostomy bag!"
"WHAT? What is that?" So began my education as a very sheltered and naive boy about the medical solution to a very big problem.
Cancer of the rectum or Crohn's disease are 2 of the most popular reasons for needing a bag. Chron's is a chronic inflammatory condition within the intestinal tract. It is also a type of inflammatory bowel disease IBD and can affect any part of the gastro tract from your mouth down to your anus. The main symptoms are stomach pain, diarrhea which may have blood in it and flatulation. I have been told that it can be very smelly. So smelly in fact that it may cause people to say..... " man you must need a colostomy bag!" Crohn's disease affects approximately half a million people in North America and more than double that for the rest of the world.

In 2001, just months after the infamous events on 9/11, a thief entered the home of Kath Tozer. It was December and she had wrapped all of her Christmas presents, had her cards displayed for all to see. A burglar who had entered the house was looking for something valuable to steal. An expensive camera case was the target and the thief stole the high priced item and its contents. Nothing else was stolen. I will digress for a tick..When AV, mentioned Psam, our little treasure, I immediately thought of the little treasure's that were stolen. I can draw the parallel. The thief stole an entire camera case full of.... colostomy bags.

Posted above and beside, for your viewing pleasure are genuine colostomy bags. Follow the video links too. I hope we have advertising for the BAG and you then may see some more examples and know how much they cost.

I ask you this.

is this lower?

"EVERYBODY has hemmorhoids!"
This was the wise and all-knowing response given by the doctor to a patient who'd come in and said "I think it might have happened because maybe I have hemmorhoids." It seemed that apparently the poor guy had had blood issue forth from that most revered portion of human anatomy: the anis.
This article makes a guy with IBS squirm. I hope if I ever have to get a colostomy bag, I can at least know that there is a silver lining to my raincloud: it brings laughter and joy to others.

You may be able to change the bag in 10 sec. but will it still plug the toilet?

Sorry Chanks but it's not a word...

Although looking at language these days we see that it's growing and evolving and changing. New words are being created daily and it's taking some time for the dictionary to catch up with us.

So while we cannot seem to find 'homoesque' in the dictionary we all seem to have a general understanding of what the word means.....

I wonder if we know b/c we're family or close enough to each other to be defined as family. Or if we know b/c of how the world is these days... hhhmmm

but really what does that have to do with bags and colostomy bags at that?

it's probably just a lot of 'poo' spewing from my keyboard....
