As a woman with Crohn’s disease, knowing where the nearest toilet is is something I have to think about a lot. Sometimes it cramps my style, makes me avoid activities I might otherwise enjoy.
So imagine my relief when I learned that, in spite of the possibility of having to “go,” I can now help out outside.
Yeah, it’s true! You can read about it here. Someone has invented just the thing for folks like me — A special pooper scooper the inventor calls “Loo-cy.”
A motorized combination snowplow and toilet.
Me, I am flushed with excitement over this gadget; because everybody needs to do their civic doo-ty.

There is a conspiracy afoot to have me think about nothing but toilets.

I have the same need except for my bladder since my hysterectomy & it keeps me from doing a lot of things I might like to do. It’s awful being tied to a toilet all the time, I can sympathize with you!
I used to have the same problem with my bowels but found a medicine to help me as long as I don’t get stressed or overtired, etc.
I’m quite a lot of fun to take on a trip – I cannot eat or drink the same day I’m traveling (even to the doctor’s office). Kind of a pain when Winnipeg is 14 hours away!

Truthfully, I don’t always — sometimes it gets me down. But mostly, well, what the heck — poop IS funny. And a motorized toilet/snowplow? That’s a gift!

Elyse, I sooooooo want to see you scooting around town on that. It would be mighty cold if you had to use the “facilities” while scooping though. Beware of frostbite.

I hope it comes with either a heater or a blanket so you don’t freeze your bits and parts off! Great invention.

Ha! Not having a bladder and having to pee every couple of mins. keeps me home most of the time and it’s a big deal for me to go out. I know where every washroom is, in every store and place in the city. It’s so stressful.

Not really sure I want someone using that on the sidewalk… it looks like a human version of a manure spreader… like a big rooster tale of yellow and brown snow is going to go shooting out…

As I recall, there is actually a fertilizer made from human poop — Milorganite(?) poop from Milwaukee.

He had the lid down Elyse – he is an imposter. Ha! It is amazing how modern technology can help people get out and about more easily. As the owner of a colostomy, I have been known to engage in some poop humour. Obviously, since every asshole is entitled to an opinion, with two assholes, I am entitled to two opinions.
As an aside Elyse, I just guest posted over at Cordelia’s Mom and would be bonored if you could find the time to drop by for a read,. http://cordeliasmomstill.com/2015/02/19/the-learning-curve-guest-post-by-paul-curran/comment-page-1/#comment-8942 Thanks so much. 🙂

With a colostomy, don’t you qualify as a two-and-a-half asshole? But given that you are a fellow bowel breaker, you can express all the opinions you like!
