My wife is sending me out to buy laxatives.

[rug]

I love marriage.

1. Could be worse. Could be nipple cream.

:thumbsup:

I hope she feels better, soon.

[rug]

3. She wants extra strength.

:scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

5. Is she sick? Because seriously, that's not the way to

um, get things moving. Unless a doc prescribed it. She'll be tethered to the toilet for days.

[rug]

7. That's a thought.

I'll just get regular strength and see what develops.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Has she tried

warm apple juice? That generally always works. Coffee and tea as well.

I feel for her. I was miserable with this particular ailment when I was pregnant with TM. But warm apple juice, surprisingly, does work.

10. Good suggestions.

On my way before the store closes. I'll keep you posted.

21. It could be a lot worse than nipple cream, believe me...

Back where I grew up in Central PA,
I once saw a young Amish gentleman
in the "12 Items or Less" line toting
a "value pack" of super-sized MaxiPads
the size of a small hay bale.

His eyes met mine briefly, and his eyes said:
"Please, just kill me now".
I didn't grant his wish, of course....but I sure as heck
EMPATHIZED with his plight.

And since then, every time I've ever had to buy something EMBARRASSING,
I just think of him, and I breeze right through it.

2. What about the tampons?

I too hope your wife feels better soon.

[rug]

4. Thank you. I haven't mentioned tampons because i don't want to start a flamewar.

[Roon]

6. TAMPONS?!?!

That's satan's cotten finger!!!!!

[rug]

8. I knew it!

[Sanity Claws]

11. What about magnesium?

A 250mg tablet of magnesium will do the trick. If it doesn't try 500 mg the next night. I think it's a lot gentler on the system than laxatives.
Of course, prunes and raisins are a lot nicer on the system too.

[Arugula Latte]

12. Hopefully they won't have to do a price check for you.

[tekisui]

13. What are you doing here talking about it?

Time is of the essence.:)

[LeftyFingerPop]

14. How dare she. I would not take that kind of shit sitting down.

[dysfunctional press]

15. on a related note- preparation h is one of the most commonly shop-lifted items...

and why would anyone go the check-out with anything except magnum xl condoms?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

16. No shit?

Hey, ya know SOMEONE was gonna say it... :evilgrin:

[MajorChode]

25. Yes, but surprised it took all of 16 posts

[gmoney]

17. My girlfriend swears by Starbucks for its laxative effect...

Might get her a Vente while you're at it.

[SoxFan]

19. Captain Crunch.

Seriously. Even worked on MRE cheese.

[latebloomer]

18. I'm sure she's very happy

that you're sharing this with us.

:D

[rug]

20. And the winner is . . . .

Thanks for all the suggestions. I always said the Lounge knows its shit.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Again, tethered to the toilet. That stuff works. Almost too well.

[rug]

23. It guarantees results in 6 to 12 hours.

I'm sleeping on the couch.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. You're welcome to drive down to VA and spend the night here. LOL.

[grasswire]

26. prunes

[RT Atlanta]

27. Turbo Lax!

28. Hope she's ok.

Laxative NOT necessary; stool softener IS.

docusate sodium over the counter; 3-4 per day. Check prices + house brands. 'colace' expensive, as are other 'name brands.'

Recommended by my ob at hospital.

[rcrush]

29. Get that Jaime Lee Curtis yogurt that makes you poop

Eat like a gallon of it.

30. My wife's cousin works as a RN

At the hospital where she works they use a 50/50 mix of prune juice and Sprite. She says it works every time within an hour.
