The very best way to handle bathroom breaks?

[PEPG]

Good advice. I recall taking a trip to the head near the mid-point of both sessions, just as much to rest and stretch a few minutes as heeding the call of nature. We were not in the most comfortable room in the world, and I have a hard time sitting for hours on end under the best of conditions. One thing I did have to remember was to not take my blood pressure medicine that morning; it is a diuretic.

I took "bathroom" breaks - two in each session - regardless of whether I needed it or not. I definately needed the stretch and to walk away from my tiny table for a few minutes. It also gave me time to suck down a red bull.

As I noted on another thread this morning, I was in a meeting yesterday with a guy that had a colostomy bag. No restroom breaks required and you could eat chili cheese hot dogs if you want. The only drawback is that there is no sphincter so you have no ability to hold back the runs, and the colostomy bag is not sound proof as I witnessed during the meeting.

I was rolling and finished the morning in about two hours. So I had plenty of time to spare. But on the other hand, I didn't want to take a break and was glad I didn't have to.

you took the test on ecstasy!?! that is impressive!

Do those things have blowoff valves or made like an accordion to accommodate the expansion of gases?

I assume you can manually let out some of the gas if the pressure gets too high. But that would essentially be a fart valve. And I would assume it would smell a lot worse because the air has been in there with the contents of the bag for a while. The guy that has the bag is going back in for another surgery next week to get reconnected and plumbed back up normally so the bag will go away.

Could we install a mini HRSG in there and call it green energy?

Poop bags aside...

I think, if and when you use the restroom during the exam, you should announce in a very loud voice:

"aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, it buuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, it buuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns."

OK - so I meant "drink a red bull beverage"!

Man - I am getting hammered today. I took some crap on the 'weather' thread earlier today.

At least I won't be getting hammered tomorrow!

After a while, you learn to phrase what you say so that it cannot be misinterpreted by our dirty minds. Or you learn to make clever use of emoticons so that we know that you are thinking as dirty as we are.
