Hi Elca!
Perhaps you need to coat those cranky pots with "Freudian Slip!" Oh these
puns are just "kilning" me!
Best wishes, and good humor to all!

If this keeps up, I may take a syenite pill! Oh dear, please extrude the
poor excuse of a joke, but remember what the baker said.......a bun is the
lowest form of wheat. Back to potting while NOT watching the convention.

Dear Milton and others
I'm sure no offence was intended by using the irritable bowl syndrome
ANALogy, but as a sufferer of Crohn's disease, I fail to see the humour in
using a medical condition as a pun or part there of (unless one is a
sufferer themselves). I'm generally not PC (politically correct), but then
were not speaking of polies here. There are many individuals who suffer the
damn inconvience of such uncomfortable conditions and who rather would not
be subject to these diseases bloody inconvience. For many there is shame and
fear of ridicule of having such a condition. Believe me there are many who
rather NOT have to bring up the topic. For example, when going to a
restaurant or wedding etc. where there is a meal involved and having to
request a special plate of food which does not included many of the food
groups which healthy individuals can partake. It is a drag which I would not
wish upon even the most miserable person I might encounter.
I try to take the postive out of my condition and apply it to my passion
for clay. Please take a look at my site The Vessel Online @
http://www.autobahn.mb.ca/~donaldo . These pieces can speak for those
suffering bowl disease of any type because they come from the gut of my
physical state and how it reveals its' terrible beauty.
Sincerely, Donald Burroughs

Dear Donald,
I apologize in advance.
I have found that humor makes my lactose
intolerance udderly bearable.
Before I realized what my problem was I had many
mooo-ving experiences.
I also have to limit my diet. Imagine not being
able to eat pizza with wonderful melted cheeses.
Makes me feel downright un-American!
Needless to say before realizing what my
problem was I could have fueled a gas kiln
myself!

Truly I didn't mean to inflict pain and no, I don't think Crohn's
disease is funny per se; I just found the idea of irritable bowls (which
is what was spelled out on my screen) funny.
It was NOT the condition that I was amused by.
This is not the first time my sense of humor has gotten past my own
delete finger.
I'm really sorry you were offended.

Gail, I'm still laughing from your udderly delightful note! But, don't be
disheartened about the pizza. Our local pizzeria makes it with soy cheese as
an option. Maybe you need to move to Ashland, Oregon.
Warm regards,

with plastic!)

Thanks Gayle
I know what your saying. Its' damn FRUSTRATING these dietary
limitations. I know a good laugh always seems to expell the poison of my
condition as it does others who must suffer. I try not to take myself too
seriously, but IBD, Crohn's, Colitis etc. should not be made light of. Only
a sufferer truly knows his/her the humour(humer) of their predicament.
Sincerely, Donald Burroughs

There is a difference between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the much more
serious conditions of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, these two fall
into the category of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Neither can be cured but
treatment is available and works for many, however some unfortunately require
surgery for removal of a portion of their colon or all. There does not seem
to be enough research in this area. Irritable bowel condition is treatable.
Often with the use of high fiber diet, antispasmodics and sometimes the
additions of mild tranquilizers. There has been a lot of research in this
area of recent and the introduction of new drugs. Probably because more folks
fall into this category. Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis is no joking matter,
it affects every aspect of their lives.
