I don't know why y'all think it's uptight, odd, anal retentive or whatever. All I know is that you will never. NEVER see my banging on doors or searching feverishly for facilities while in the midst of going about my daily activities.

Aren't you a medical professional? It just blows my mind that you think most people should be in complete control of their bowels 99% of the time.

I don't want to argue, and I'm sure I'm probably the target of Snarkorama 2011, on some other board out there.,.:;"',.:;'.,... I would log on and read it, if I cared. But.I.don't.

I don't think the fact that I like to drink two cans of TAB, and usually poop after that, means that I'm constipated. I mean, isn't that half of the reason that people drink coffee? Because it makes them go?

But she had the same points as I did! And if you'll recall, she's on "that board" too. So because I debated you first, I'm wrong & picking on you? WTH? It's honestly not personal for me - I really do just disagree with you on a lot of things. Apparently it is personal for you.

And if you can't poop without assistance, you're constipated. Could you poop if you didn't drink it? I know caffeine is not artificial like Ex-lax or PeriColace, but it still stimulates the bowel & it's still giving you help. Like, your body needs roughage & fiber & water for proper nutrition & to poop properly - it doesn't (or shouldn't) need caffeine. Same for people who smoke to poop.

I drink coffee cuz it warms me up, it tastes good (although I tend to put sweetenrs & flavors in mine, so that helps) and gives me a bit of pep. It honestly doesn't make me poop. I mean, I can go even if I don't drink it.





Can we get off of pooping now? Please? I think we've established that most people much prefer to go at home, but things do happen. Also, that we agree you should take measures to minimize other people's olfactory discomfort if you do have to go in public. That about it?

I've got a good one for you all. Apparently, it's become popular with the younger crowd (like, teens & early 20's) to clean the inside of their vaginas. As in, cram a soapy washcloth or baby wipe up there & scrub-a-dub. Please, if ANYONE here is doing that - STOP IT! It's not good for you & will actually promote infections. Washing your external genitals really is enough. Kids of like how you're not really supposed to be cramming Q-Tips in your ear to get the wax out.
