Wearing a diaper as an adult is embarrassing. Diapers are not perfect. They have weaknesses. I was in my thirties and working full-time as an I.T. Manager. At work, I had been up and down the ladder running cable throughout the building. It was my job as the I.T. Manager to not only care for…

My phone likes to bring up “Memories.” It does this by bringing up a picture with the title, “On this day in the such-n-such year.” (It uses the date on the image.) I smiled at the sight of the picture. I then forwarded it to my two best friends, who were also in the picture.…

People like me think about things more than we should. We think, and we worry.We worry about things that probably would never happen. For instance, I’m always scared that the power will go out while I’m in the restroom changing my colostomy bag. Once you take your bag off, well, you’re wide open. I’m scared…

Over the years, I have enjoyed Gardening. —Small Gardening. I would get on my hands and knees and plant the Vegetables that I wanted to grow, and then, each day, I’d get the Weeds out of the Garden and Water the plants.Now, do not think that I’m talking about a Big Garden. No, that’s what…
