(Or, since lots of you on here are stable, what did you used to do when you weren't stable?)
Only asking because, I was on the toilet 2 hours last night, trying my damndest to poo, since I've not been since Tuesday. (Which is really bizarre for me as a pure-bred D'er!)
Whilst I was there I read a bit of an autobiography by a famous UK footballer (soccer), but the moved on to my latest project - since I'm setting up a website I'm teaching myself all the ins and outs, and am reading a 'Creating a Web Site' for Dummies book cover to cover! With time spent on the loo I've already taught myself how to build pc's from scratch, read 6 IBS books, taught myself a whole host of effective, environmentally friendly cleaning methods and got my head into 'decluttering' mode....
So at least all the time stuck on there with D has been slightly productive! Sometimes I take my Ipod in too, put the radio on or take some study in with me.
So just curious how everyone else passes/passed the time?! 
PS - nope, I still haven't been. Feel about 5 months pregnant I have that much stuff stuck inside me! This is a whole new experience...

Read novels, talk to God, watch TV from afar. (I live alone so I can leave the door open).  Many an AI shows were was watched from the comfort of my toilet seat.

Well, if I can tell ahead of time that I'll be in there awhile, I bring a magazine. If I don't have time to plan that way, I either just sit or read anything I can get my hands on - the back of the hair spray can, shampoo bottle, etc.

I don't have too many horrible experiences anymore as I'm very stable. But when I did I always just sat there and waited. I never had any reading material handy. I guess it always happened so quickly that I always had to run for it and never thought to grab something.
Tommy always brings a magazine or newspaper in with him.

Ha, I think it's a guy thing Tina- P, my Dad, my brothers and my boss all read on the loo. (my boss takes his newspaper with him during work and disappears for 15 mins, it's a bit yucky during work to do that I think)
My Mom used to leave trivia books in the bathroom at home and we would all read them. There's usually a newspaper supplement or a Newsweek in our bathroom if I get stuck.

Reading the back of shampoo bottles and stuff, I *totally* do that when I'm stuck in the loo!
I guess I must figure if I am gonna be stuck in their, wasting part of my day I'll make sure it is not a total waste of time and learn exactly what else is in pantene pro-v, or the correct way to apply deodorant. 
If there is something to read in there already, I'll read it but like Tina said a lot of the time it was so "gotta go!" that I wouldn't have time to think about reading material. I also won't go and find something to read and take it in with me if there are other people around - even Adrian - because I just feel.. icky. 
I usually have the radio or TV on in the background when I am home alone, so I can usually listen to that from the bathroom.
I also think a lot about renovating my bathroom... and w hat my perfect bathroom would look like. The number of times I have thought about constructing this hugely elaborate bathrooms, I am embarassed to say. Hee hee.
