     As you get older, your urinary and anal sphincter muscles get weak.   
   That's why there's a market for things like Depends. As Jeff Foxworthy   
   noted, "the kids are coming out of diapers, and the grandparents are   
   going into them".   
      
    GP> Now it's the opposite issue -- I go once or twice a week, & feel full   
    GP> most of  the time. I'vecut back on the real pain killers (Percocets)   
    GP> but I have this as  an ongoing body issue, not just in response to

     I started eating wheat bread exclusively, and I have fig bars here, and   
   a stool softener as well if I need it. But, it's true that many folks don't   
   get enough fiber in their diet.   
      
     Or Facebook recently changed its name to Meta -- and rumor has it that   
   Twitter will become Mucil. So, we'll be on MetaMucil all day...and that   
   explains why social media is so crappy.    
      
    GP> I avoid laxatives, as they can really harm your inner digestive exit   
    GP> processes.   
      
     That is true.   
      
    GP> Or. let's make it topical: do you remember your crappiest medical issue   
    GP>  relating to controlled or not disposing of digestive wastes?   
      
     There are some cases where they've had to do "a fecal enema" because a   
   person's colon was messed up, and they had to get it back into sync, as it   
   were. I don't know all the details on it, but I'm sure it's on places like   
   WebMD.

   ... I was told "Have emergency number on vacation". I wrote "911".
