Sue,
Hope you are doing better? Where did you find my email
address I didn't realize I was listed as a penpal, but
that is okay.  Sorry I didn't answer I haven't been on
either.

Seattle - 3am - 6am

increasingly busy throughout the weekend. Drop by and see if anyone
is there.

expect and what to do. If you're still unsure after you've looked at
them, email me for help.

The channels are open 24/7 for general chit chat or ostomy talk
during the week, and are becoming increasingly busy. If you drop by

Hi Joyce,
   You know I used to believe I was the only one in the world. I am soooo glad I
am not. It is hard for me at times to deal with people whom have never heard of
it before. Let me go back one step.....I am single at 50 and would like to find
someone someday that will ok with it. Dating is ok .....but then you get to the
point to move on a little. I just never know how to tell someone you "Your
rectum is on your side"  If you say ostomy they look at you like you have 2
heads.....Oh well I hope there is someone out there someday. Until then I live
life to the fullest. ITS too too short not to.
take care and hope to talk soon
Susan

I'm seeking the advice/insight of any ostomates who still have the
rectal portion of their digestive tracts. I had an emergency ostomy
5+ years ago when my large intestine burst due to crohn's disease. I
had the majority of my tranverse & descending colon removed, but i
still have the sigmoid colon & rectum (though non-functoinal). In the
past 5 years, I have had occasional discharge from from my rectum,
but more recently it has become an almost daily experience. Anyone
out there with similar experience? If so, please write me at

We have had a Christmas Twig in the Ostomy Chatroom for several years
now.

Sadly, one didn't survive.....it was <ahem> "watered" and then burned
in the great chatroom fire.

Last year Ali came to our rescue and decorated a new Twig. It was
magnificent, and those of us with mIRC were able to add the picture
to the program to help with the festive cheer.

But will the Twig be here for Christmas 2004?
Its future isn't certain......
