I think I am going to like it here!
I have been reading back over some of the posts- and its wild to see some of my life story. Its hard to get used to seeing everyone be so upfront about constipation and gas and bloating and stuff. My husband is the only one I have ever talked about these things with.
But I really like how I dont see a lot of self-pity here. I want to learn how to deal with this issue- not how to let the issue deal with me.
When I catch up- I am going to start jumping in with both feet- hope you guys are ready for me!

Crazies? CRAZIES? WHADDYAMEAN by that?
We're not crazy. We're just a bunch of fun-loving, IBS-suffering wild women (yes, and men too) who've heard it all and learned from it.
Welcome to the Boards of Crazies, Jill! Yes, we talk about anything and everything here -- well, actually in the IBS Diet Board, 'cause here in The Living Room we do wild and crazy stuff -- so don't be shy; ask anything. It's truly how you'll get better; at least that's how I got better.
See ya around!
Bev

Welcome Jill. We're not too bad. remember there is always someone out there crazier than you are. Speaking of, here is a NY City transit story for you. I am on the LIRR going home to Queens on Wednesday. There is a woman sitting in a three seater who starts cursing at several different people because she has to move her bag each time someone wants a seat. Eventually her stop comes and as she is leaving she isn't mindful of her surrounding. She trips over a bag thats near the aisle but not in it. So, she drops a couple of F bombs and gets off the train. Now I have a window seat and I see her come back towards the train. She punches my window and starts cursing wildly again. Funny thing is the woman next to me jumps but I don't even flinch. I just look up and then continue reading my paper. WHen the train starts to go she asks me in an Irish brogue how I couldn't be scared. I just say to her that this is NY and nothing much phases me anymore!
Only in NY Ladies & Gents, only in NY.

Yeah, yesterday there was a young woman who looked normal here on the Upper East Side, but she was screaming obscenities at the top of her lungs at no one in particular.
Only in NY indeed!

Those crazies you and Tommy talked about would SOOOO freak me out! You would NEVER catch me on a metro (is that what you call them? Metros?). And if somone banged on my window as that wild woman did Tommy, I'd pee in my pants.
I'm just a big wuusy. (I said W ussy.)

Subways, dear. Metros are in Paris and Washington DC. In London it's the underground or tube.
And I swear to you, those crazies would run when they saw you coming, sweetie!
Seriously, I learned quick that it's all about body language. If you don't make eye contact and walk purposefully without hesitating, the panhandlers don't even try to ask for spare change and the crazies don't even see you. Speaking of which have you seen the new commercial where Donald Trump is dumpster diving after his new debit card?! Too funny!!

Oh, I SOOOOO needed that right now! I'm ROFLMAO! Tears are rolling down my face.
LS, THAT's the "funny of the day." No, I've never seen that commercial -- but I can't wait! Why is that guy so damn funny anyway? He's such a chauvenist pig. I put him in the same category as Simon. And yet both of them crack me up.
I'm sick.

Hey there are crazy people in small towns too!
Here's a great one...my uncle lives in South Dakota, with no one around...one day in the middle of winter he gets a knock on his door at like 7 am, looked out the window and there is a naked guy crouched down by the door. My uncle opens the door (he's a weirdo) and the young man asked if he could use my uncle's phone. Turns out he was in a car accident down the street....so my uncle went and got him some sweatpants. About 20 minutes later the boy's mom shows up all panicky, and then the ambulances come - and the first thing they do is cut the boys sweatpants off
After my uncle told me this I go, 'Did you ask him why he was naked!?!' And my hick uncle goes, 'I figered (yes - figered in a hick accent - not fiGURED) it was none a my bidness'.
Maybe there are just weirdos in small towns, crazy people in cities....I don't know. I like small towns much better though Much rather have a naked man at my door than a crazy woman punching my window!
