Hi again Nancy. Also I think zip-lock freezer bags would NOT go unused on a camping trip!

Nancy, Welcome. A good dog and a plan to go camping this summer sound like just the ticket. You will find lots of us here that are very happy to be al...

WOW. That is an amazing story. You are very lucky to be here and have a great life once again. We all come here from so many different directions I am...

Thanks...I will try to clean up after myself sooner! HA.

P.S> I think I put this in the wrong place too! I think what is happening is I write a post before I have logged in. Then when I try to post I am ...

Eric, Is there any way to remove a post that I have already made? I put one in the wrong thread, and I also posted one in the correct thread ( error ...

Thanks so much, it sounds encouraging. I have a solution that mostly works, but I am looking for THE ONE. Be well.

Hi Eric & fellow Ostomates. I was wondering if it would be good to start a forum along the likes of HOT TIPS.Where we could share the things we ha...

Hi Cassoday, NO harsh judgements here! We have all been there, done that and if we haven't its probably just a matter of time. We are still learning ...

Ha! Yes.. of course...I try not to do it in public, however. At first, and when I had a series of leaks, I was obsessively checking around the wafer f...

A survey could be very useful. I found that in the health care industry ( I am in USA) people have deep knowledge of very narrow areas. I never could ...

Thanks for your reply. I just stopped eating papaya ( too bad, its yummy). I have been afraid to try it again. Maybe sometime! I also wonder about ac...

Hi, Has anyone ever noticed an adverse effect from some foods on wafer/ring as to appliance adhesion? I was just wondering. It seemed to me I had a l...
