t man, you have a wedding to help plan - you don't have a minute to waste taking a dump - after the big day ....... maybe ;-)

My phone always comes to the bathroom with me. Id say about 50% of my healingwell posts are from the toilet! And I get some good texting in as well. Sometimes I read the news or buzzfeed.

I also have a Mind Puzzles book in there (sudoku, word problems, etc) and usually snag the newest magazines from work for the weekend so those are in there too.

Even if I dont have to take long to go... I usually sit a bit to avoid the dreaded "double poop." Hate getting up and washing my hands and opening the door... just to shut it and pull my pants back down.
also... the bathroom has become my sanctuary. Ive spent so much time in there... sometimes I let my legs fall asleep. Like if we have friends over and I need a break... bathroom is the place to go!

Hahaha... not quite sure I'd feel up to planning with all that needing to get out!

So I just accidentally discovered my new favorite thing. Watching roller coaster videos on the toilet is awesome!

Crossword puzzles.
The sunday one is hard enough that it takes me about a week to finish it. They are supposed to be good for your brain! Funny, I've noticed my mind is sharpest late at night.

Also, mail order catalogs. We get tons of them. Brainless.

Thank God for smartphones. I can't imagine going through life without one, but especially having UC! It really helps me pass the time. In fact, I created my twitter account *while* on the toilet one day!

Hang in there!

My first flare was when I was in college (shared multi-stall bathrooms), and my second flare was when I had 3 roommates, so it wasn't until my third flare when I was living with my partner that it was easy for me to bring in anything with me.

It's almost always my smartphone. Solitaire, Minesweeper, Tiny Tower, Furdiburb, and currently Tiny Rebel's Doctor Who Legacy. Or I'm using Feedly or checking Facebook or Twitter, or I'm using Gchat.

It's such a bad habit now that I will absentmindedly bring my phone with me even now that I'm in remission, and I'll get caught up in a game even though it's only taken me a few moments to use the toilet. Whoops.

My poop almost always just rockets out of me, usually not enough time to read or anything. Even when I was going 10+ times a day it was in to the bathroom....explode....wipe, out....repeat every 5-10 minutes until empty. Lol.

Well right now sitting at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City NJ. Nice place to take a dump.

Why, that sounds lovely!

I'm finding it is best for me to use the toilet and get back out. Too much pushing is messing with my train wreck bottom!

Old Mike, maybe they have slots in the bathroom stalls so you can keep playing while you're in there? Those casinos do think of almost everything...

I can imagine what might be on the slot buttons if they had slots in the stalls.
But the regular slot buttons probably not a whole lot better.
Made it home now.
