Nancy,

  So true. They usually ask you about "The 3 P's" -- peeing, pooping,
and procreation. While the latter is not always necessary and available,
the first two are priority. Man, I'm using a lot of P words here -- but
that is my P-rogative. <BG>

  Years ago, folks would talk about their bowel and bladder habits, and
not say a word about sex. Now, it's the other way around! Plus, colon
cancer is the second greatest killer (for men and women) right behind
heart disease and breast cancer (men get breast cancer as well)...but
unlike so many other cancers, it's also one of the most preventable.

  We've discussed it before, with the colonoscopies and the PITA prep
work (literally)...but I'd rather be told "we found nothing" or "we
found it early enough, that you have greater than a 90% chance of
survival". I sadly hear too many stories of folks who waited too long,
and get told "You'll be dead in 2 weeks".

  That's like the joke where this plane on an international flight, has
the pilot (the captain) from "The Flight Deck" come on the intercom, to
chat with the passengers. He starts with a calm demeanor, then suddenly
screams "Oh My God!! No!!"...and the audio dies. Moments later, he
apologetically comes on, telling the passengers "I am so sorry for that.
One of the flight attendants was bringing me a cup of coffee, and she
spilled it in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!!".

  A passenger yelled back "You should see the back of mine!!" <G>.

  I think next time, I'll take the train. 

Daryl
