Wasn't it Friday just last Friday?

I leave you all with a wise quote to ponder during your weekend...

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

Here I go...

Picture a night on the town, two guys and two girls, or just a bunch of girls... One of the girls needs to go the "powder room" and summons another girl to go with her. However, if one of those girls needs to do the unthinkable, a social faux pas if you will, and needs to go “number 2"... what happens then???

Girls don't go "no. 2" right?? WRONG!!!!!!!!

I'm here to tell you that contrary to popular belief, we are not the only species on the planet that does not need to... how can I put this in polite, graceful terms...well, I don't know any other good alternatives to the commonly used words to describing "getting rid of our waste" other than to call it going "no.2"

This topic is not one that is easily brought up amongst people gathering for lighthearted cocktail hour conversations.

Ex: A girl (and this could really be a guy or girl, but I'm a girl so this is my vision), pretty cute, with moderate style (on a good day), standing with a martini in hand. Looking around anxiously for a friend, a spouse, a partner... anyone of familiarity who will understand and sympathize with the "digestive issues" that she's been dealing with all day, all month or all year! But no one will really dive into these conversations the way she wants to... nobody wants to hear how she had to go "no.2" about 4 times today because she over did it with last nights Laventina's pizza, or that her stomach talks just about as loudly as a 5 year old in a library or that she's terrified to use any other "throne" except for her home sanctuary because like I said earlier, girls don't go "no.2"!!!

So this is me, I'm the girl at the cocktail party with a martini in hand, looking for someone to talk to about the "digestive issues" and minor phobia of bathrooms other than my own that bombard me on a daily basis.

I'm willing to go out on a limb, which actually feels more like hanging off a high rise balcony, and bring my story and daily experiences to the public. I know there are many others out there dealing with these issues as well. I’m putting this out there to help others feel more at ease in discussing their own daily struggles, or not so daily struggles, with digestive problems and all the subsequent "gifts" that come along with it.

Follow me on my quest to take this topic to the depths it deserves, because after all Everyone Poops.
