Who knew my last post about aging (without the slightest hint of grace) would touch a nerve in so many people?!
Thanks to everyone who forwarded the post and left a comment. Ya'll crack me up.
Here's what I've pondered most of today...
Why in God's name do I insist on waiting to go to the bathroom until I hurt so much that I'm certain my bladder is hanging out of my "down-there" parts?
I'm a big girl. I know where the bathroom is.
I can feel and acknowledge the tiny twinge that indicates I've fully digested my two liters of Diet Coke.
But I choose to ignore the signs.
Rather than act like an adult and take care of my business, I allow myself to become distracted as the pain grows, requiring me to clamp my legs together as if my life depends on no air seeping through.
My feet tap, I hum, swivel in my chair and only after I'm certain I can't possibly walk to the bathroom, do I even attempt it.
Why?
*she says, crawling to the bathroom*

Wow...why do we do this? I am guilty of it just the same.
One word, procrastinate
I remember when I used to drink Diet Coke, I always felt like it made me pee a lot. I know, I'm weird :)
You guys got some kind of outhouse down there or somethin'?
Have you ever noticed that the closure you get to the toilet the worse you have to go ? Or maybe it's just me :o)
I first noticed this phenomenon while I was in college, living in the dorms. In fact, some friends made up a pee scale to calculate the urge. 0 is just peed, 10 is currently peeing. The bathroom was no longer as accessible; a long trip down the hall, turn left, choose a stall. I found myself waiting until 10.1 before I made the trek to the community toilets.
Now, the same thing happens to me while I'm at home. No idea why. Someone should research this.
i never hold it. i pee 17 times a day. as soon as i get the urge i have to go right then. i can't wait. i blame that on the 4 kids i've had. i know that if i wait i will regret it.
well.. a couple friends and I were talking about ways to beat the potty while on a long roadtrip.
Friend A suggested panty liners.. Friend B suggested Pads.. then TOOT head here said "I know! Tampons!!"
And they glared at me.. only to have Friend A shoot me back with "it's the wrong hole silly!"
Oh well... to pee or not to pee! hmmm...
Happy Thanksgiving Heather and Apes!
