Lol @ 23.
Interesting list Bob :)

124 miles... holy balls. I did 150 on my dirtbike in one day and I thought THAT was tough. Granted, it was across the Utah mountainside...

it was from Seattle to Port Townsend and back....which is pretty much a relaxing hilly ride.....the worst part was getting back to downtown Seattle and having to ride the three miles back to my house which is all up massive hills :)

Crohn's?

oh...actually it's a bit weird i was originally Chronic Ulcerative colitis....which is basically just like Crohn's but only affects the large intestine versus the entire digestive system....i had it removed in march 2009 and they reconstructed my small bowel to also act as the large bowel....in January of 2010 i was re-admitted into the hospital with bleeding and cramps and they discovered that the disease had actually morphed into Crohn's....which so far has been pretty mild and treatable with meds.....i got the best of both worlds

rough scene dude. my roommate got diagnosed with Crohn's a few years ago after having to fight with doctors for YEARS to get tested. apparently it's not considered a thing to check for in Canada, 'probably just indigestion...'

definitely doesn't seem like fun and it makes me far more appreciative of my own working plumbing. good luck with that. really hope they find a better cure than just hot swapping meds ahead of the eventual stomach cancer 'side effect'. at least that's the Canadian version of treatment.

that sucks....when i first started having symptoms...back in 2002 i took 12 days in the hospital before the decided to scope me and then one day later i was diagnosed....so i kind of understand

thanks man :)....i hope it stays in remission they said if a i have another major flare up that they will have to reverse the "j pouch" and i'll have to spend the rest of my life with a chunk of my intestine hanging out of my abdomen!....i had to do it for three months and it was horrible

ouch, in that case i hope you have better meds than my roommate or a more disciplined diet. he gets flare ups every couple of months, but he usually owns up to causing them himself (sometimes steak just smells a little TOO tasty). he had to spend about a week in the hospital to get his proper diagnosis once they finally decided that it might actually be more than acid reflux.

and yeah, colostomy bags are nasty! i remember a guy who had a motorcycle accident years ago and had to deal with one for a while during his recovery because the handlebars literally tore him a new one. he'd go to the bar and ask people if they wanted to see what he had for lunch earlier that day then pull it open for them. words cannot describe the grossness hahaha
