Oh man that's wrong. but......... and good thing we are in confessions: back in '95 I was backpacking through turkey. When I left Istanbul on a bus I must have taken a stomach virus with me. It was horrible. I was on the bus for seven hours just writhing in discomfort. The bus finally stopped and I ran out clenching my sphincter and holding my backside as I ran to the depot toilet. i got in there and it was full up of course. in the sink I went right in front of everyone. I couldn't have cared less at that moment. The relief was of heaven..... that isn't the end of my bowels stories in turkey but I'll leave it at that for now. 6 Link to comment

Cramarossa Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) The confessions thread is so lit right now ahaha. Speaking of bathroom confessions: Back in high school I had a friend whose family owned a vacation home they were remodeling up by Seattle. The used to let me tag along and stay with them during the summer. There were remodeling the main house, where the dad stayed, and we teen girls (me, my friend, and my friend's sister) all stayed in the freshly remodeled living space above the detached garage. Even though the living space was fixed up, plumbing still hadn't been installed. We were supposed to go to the main house and use the old, filthy, moldy (hence the remodel) bathroom there. All of us were kind of skeeved out by the bathroom in the main house, and one night it was pretty late when we all needed to pee and we didn't want to walk across the dark yard (there had been some break-ins/suspicious persons) to get there. Since there was no plumbing in the living space we decided to just pee in our Vitamin Water bottles. Problem was that only one of us had finished our drink at that point. We ended up taking turns peeing in the bottle, one after another. I was the last one to use it. It was warm and wet to the touch Bonus confession: Both of the other girls got super sunburned that trip (I didn't; melanin FTW!). I gleefully helped them peel their dead, flaking skin off. I just helped my bf peel his sunburn off too. I love doing that. I have kind of a problem. Edited August 5, 2016 by ThrustyPrusty89 Link to comment

I just love holding the skin up to the light and looking at the patterns, etc. I always loved looking at skin cells under microscopes too. Probably why I majored in biology and have an interest in dermatology. 1 Link to comment
