Wow, that is surprising!! My guess (and just a guess) would be that someone famous made a comment about an ostomy. Or maybe a popular TV show or movi...

There was cake!! I don’t know if it is my favorite, but it is pretty darn good. I made the rum cake I first made on Thanksgiving. My favorites are ye...

Laurie, I was thinking the exact same thing. French wouldn’t have surprised me, because, you know, Canada. But Italian... Color me impressed. 😂

@glenn-giroir I’m sorry you had a family member minimize what you were going through. I always think of family as a safe space, but I know that isn’...

Any friend of Tony’s is a friend of mine. 😀

@goatherder Oh goodness, I have a lot of leak stories, but probably the best (most embarrassing) was pretty recently. I had surgery in October. We w...

Hi Margaret, I am a big fan of marathon. And I have used it on red weepy sore skin without having any trouble. But I didn't remember the instructio...

We went to a wildlife park with lots of animals roaming free and a goat tried to eat my husband’s jeans. He had a rip on the knee and the goat just st...
