Whenever I'm in a space where I'm around many people, I always wonder how many are ostomates or have IBD. I mean, chances are that a few people out of 100 are in the same boat.

I love awareness t-shirts, although they aren't always appropriate all the time 😂

John that's not a bad idea . I likeep the small pin idea not overly  obvious but able to be seen 

Once again I guess I need to proof read before I push the button 

 Some of those T shirts are crackin, love the No colon still rollin! Yep Robert some thing small and any one with IBD would recognise was along the lines I was thinking

I used to tell people I am Postcolonial.

Some got it, some did not.

( I had UC and had a subtotal colectomy &  an ileostomy installed in July of 2115.  And ... least I forget... major hernia repair May 2017).

I am not sure how to ad that info  to my  'signature block' here .

No colon still rollin!!!!!!!! Your sense of humour takes you along way

A Rose would be a good one. Sometimes Oscar looks like a bloomed rose, sometimes like a rose bud. Other ostomies I've seen look similar to me.

Eventually I'm planning a tattoo... A roll of tp scrolling out with No Colon, Still Rollin around it.

I never would have thought of that, like it. Looks like a stoma and meaning new life

There is a pin that looks like a stoma. about 1/2 inch round..  Try a large support group-I will try to find the info. if u want.  I wont wear it tho..

Hey Dona, check this out: https://www.veganostomy.ca/forum-walkthrough/#Accessing_your_account_settings

Marcie, would be interesting to see that

Thanks Eric,

Lets see if I did it right.

YES!  Thanks, it worked ( that WAS my third try). I am not very computer literate.

Just a suggestion for the rest of our tribe here, it would be nice to have more pictures or personal avatars posted. I think Eric's guide ( referenced above) is very helpful.

I am getting confused with all the pastel 'funny' faces. It would be nice to put an actual face ( human animal or otherwise... like Bago's bucket) to a name. Thanks.

Yep Dona that's a good idea, like you not That tech savey, have way paths I know for work and play so will have a word with the Missus to help me he  he. Only thing is this face of mine really to go Globel !!!

I am sure your skin isn't that blue or your face so round! Even a photo of your cat (?) would be great.

My husband is the tech savey one . He is a retired University professor. He was amazing helping me though my illness and took his laptop to each and every doctors visit. Paid attention, read articles, took great notes, asked tons of questions. As we all know these illness require a very steep learning curve. I could not do those things for myself as I was so sick. I would have literally died without him.

Sounds like ye have a good one, My wife and I hadn,t met when I was ill but she is a real rock, When we met I was wondering when to tell her about Sammy and did so on our 2nd date, she never batted an eyelid. Advance WARNING Bruce Willis has more hair than me!

Not to worry, John.

My husband gave up on a hair style years ago... uses an electric shaver on it now, looks great too. 

One tip I have for any bald guys like me, Never wear a turtle neck sweater you will look like a roll on deodorant!!

Dona, Eric had to help me out on this blog to get into also..  He is just so darn nice!!  I told him that he was born NICE-as no one can learn his like of "NICE" through life..!!
