Hi all,

Speaking of "Depends", I have BPH and have to urinate frequently.  So, in order 
to not 
break
often when "running" and losing the frrequency, I installed a portable "Contest 
Uninal" 
which I
mounted under the operating table.  This way, I can "hang it'' in a continuous 
manner.  My
XYL then brings me coffee frequently to keep me alert and meals to keep me 
nourished.

I feel this simple mod helps my score.
