No bowel problems here. I'm lucky there. I go about 1/2 hour after I get out

of bed probably 360 days every year. For a few days last week I felt as

though the doctor may have left an old tree branch in there though

.............. everything still worked, but it was uncomfortable.

Thanks Jack, after reading this list I'm starting to feel kinda normal now.

As a matter of fact my father's name was Jack and I have a brother named

and yes I suppose I would still have some relatives back in England

because many years ago my Great great grandfather was convicted of

manslaughter and sent to Australia along with a few others !! But none that

we know of and my sister has been working on our family tree for years now.
