I knew that whatever followed yesterday's story would be a letdown and I was right. No offense wiper. It's a tough subject to be entertaining on.

I liked this report, it got me thinking as TBW's reports usually do. Some stories are SHIT stories, and others take a different route and provide us with the fiber to think about the conditions surrounding our daily ablutions.

I'm kinda wondering after reading this Wiper if not only was this gentleman giving advice to these women on good health but also showcasing that he's in full control of himself and a suitable partner for any intimacy some of the ladies may be looking for.

Usually I don't go for the sex angle but let me explain. We know that as we age things slow down but for a great many seniors they still are sexually active, it's part of good health and provides a great deal of personal satisfaction.

My grandfather was dating a woman while he was in his early 80's, this caused a great deal of discomfort for my MOM, because she'd never suspected that her Dad could love anyone else after her Mom passed away.

Gramps tried to keep things as private as possible but it got to the point that when he was visiting once he said rather bluntly "If I didn't have someone to share what I feel you might as well put me into a home" (his paramour was in her 80's as well). Mom finally saw the light and embraced her Dad's partner as one of the family.

Fast forward 10 years and Gramps was still living in his own home, entertaining his "partner" regularly and enjoying what life has to offer, when he finally had a heart attack at 92 it was his partner who was there to comfort him in his last moments, they were in bed together, all in all not a bad way to go.

Edit: His partner died a few months later.

I can vouch for the "Dried Plums" marketing initiative. The Missus brought home a bag of prunes from Costco the other day. as I was busily munching down my share of "nature's candy" (yet another marketing initiative by some trade association), I noticed that the bag was labeled "Dried Plums."

Although I have no problems witht he urinary tract, I'm still going to have to try the cranberry juice thing just to see what it does to the urine. I wonder whether the smell of the urine would be more tart? So, I suppose that I'm going to have to post a Piss Report soon.

I love TBW's thought-provoking submissions....
I also love cranberry juice (especially with vodka in it!) but I HATE the way I can smell it in my shit the next day. Really, it's a gross odor.

Bunga: you bring up an interesting angle, to be sure. In answer to your conjecture, I would have to say that it is highly likely that the gentleman was preening his feathers in front of the hens, so to speak.

How do I know this? Well, when my father moved into the complex a few months back, my brother and sister-in-law (who live nearby and can visit him far more often than I can) reported to me that all the women in the development were buzzing. "A man is moving in!"

Statistically, the ratio of women to men in this and many other senior complexes may be something like 3 to 1 or even more weighted toward the females. The fact is still that women outlive men, and there are far more widows out there than there are widowers.

At any rate, the cranberry magician in my report was certainly putting on quite an act. And I would not be surprised if it was indeed code for, "Ladies, I'm available, alive and kickin'!"

Fibrous food's and beverages are usually a well supplied part of the diet at nursing homes. The powers to be would much rather only be purchasing oatmeal and Tang, but the high turnover rate in healthcare employees who have to "dig Out" compacted fecal material makes the money they have to spend on a proper diet for the elderly cost effective. It's a bunch of crap anyway you look at it.

Nothing like a good, informative, TBW Poop Report.

I found out last week at that you should not expect to sleep well after eating a whole cup of raisins. Therefore, this report does not surprise me in the least.

But raisins in moderation, scattered throughout bran cereal, should accomplish their mission.

Thanks to an operation for a prostate problem I am unable to completely empty my bladder and must use a catheter several times each day. The initial distaste for doing this is simply caused by the fact that you are sticking something where you would prefer not to be sticking something.

Urinary tract infections are also a worry. Cranberries contain a sugar called
D-Mannose which makes the bladder walls slick and lets the urine flush bacteria right on out.
I use D-mannose whenever I think I am getting an infection and it seems to be quite helpful.

Much better than taking unnecessary anti-biotics.
