You can quote me.

So they totally agree with you.

Did I mention color was also discussed- green, brown, black?

Sigh?

Since I know you are both amusing and clever, I wish I understood what you were talking about.

Thank you for the compliment.

That's my way of saying this shit is important.

I may chooange the subheading from "bowel changes" to that, instead!

Cause you then deserve 5x the pay/Academic credit for that inclusion.

The mother referred to it as "smellier than normal!"

People get paid for this? I am doing it all wrong.

That was a total DUZY!

when he thought he noticed blood in his. Turns out he ate cranberries last night at a restaurant and that's probably what it was. He used up so much toilet paper pooping twice (it was a big meal) that this afternoon the toilet overflowed and he's cleaning it up now. At least it was just water and paper. Last year the same thing happened but the poop was still there. I panicked and went to get the building superintendent. He looked at the toilet all clogged with poop and paper and said, well, you'd better go and buy a plunger. Of course he didn't have one, that would be too much to ask. Now every time I see him I think, HE HAS SEEN MY POOP and I'm sure he is thinking, I HAVE SEEN HER POOP. It shouldn't be embarrassing, but it is, for some reason.

I learned that toilets have numbers associated with how much capacity they possess for "things to get flushed" size wise, if you know what I mean.

I indulged in "the extra cost" for "more capacity" in our master bathroom. I have not regretted this decision. (but we still own a plunger because, well, you know)

that was really weird

but unappreciated sucks

hang in there & finish that damn paper once & for all!!!

Super late Sunday night.

I had to change my cohort from 271 starting to 134 children (with explanation), but at least my research guy said that was normal.

I need minions. I have no minions.

A three year study of a new vaccine to fight C-Diff, some folks at Stanford asked me to help.

I've been getting injections and keeping a poop diary, actually only if the poop is runny.

I have books and collection kits and, of course, the Bristol Stool Chart:

Although to be fair, when we started no one knew "poop" was going to be such a big deal until the great "Poop Discussion" of late Summer 2012.

Seriously.

I can think of three other types of the top of my, er, bottom of my brain.

The description alone sells it!

...before humanity.

Deaths around the world from untreated fecal matter easily exceed total deaths for AIDS and malaria combined, and neither of the latter two are trivial.

You may wish to read, if you haven't already, "The Big Necessity" by Rose George. It's an enlightening, and maybe scary, discussion of international sewage practices.

I wrote a brief diary on the subject of poop elsewhere: What is the Energy Value of All the Sewage Sludge in Europe?

Don't minimize what you are doing. You are becoming an informed citizen of the world.
