Towns do have ordinances about putting effluent in storm drains but I don't imagine too many people have been arrested for peeing in a sewer. Nor do I. Of course, I don't know too many people that actually pee in sewers. Parks, forests, back yards, alleys, parking lots, yes. Sewers? Not so much. ;-) |

Smoking was advertized as a healthy activity. Because of my exposure at a young age, I'm horribly allergic to tobacco smoke. o_O [8~{} Uncle Allergic Monster |

I can't wait for the drug commercials to feature LGBT doctors. o_O Oh yea, I know, it's racist to notice things like that. ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Racist Monster I sure hope my LGBT doctor doesn't want to do a colonoscopy on me. -- . I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy on the same day hopefully in that order. Then I had a second colonoscopy months later. Doctors were trying to figure out where the blood was going. I was anemic and had a low red blood cell count. I explained to them that I was too old to have a period so they went looking. It turned out that I had a bleeding ulcer and didn't know it because there was no pain or upset stomach. I seem to be OK now. ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Ulcerated Monster I would have been due for a colonoscopy this year but had the Cologuard test instead. It not only checks for blood but more importantly cancer cells. I was clear of both. I had the FOBT but it turned out negative which is why doctors shoved a camera up my tailpipe. My bleeding stomach seems to have settled down except for the food poisoning I experienced last year. There is nothing in the world like extreme barfing. It can completely empty your stomach in under 3 seconds. ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Barf Monster The Cologuard does more than check for blood as they look for cancer cells. http://www.cologuardtest.com/ Previously I had a virtual colonoscopy which I did because I am on coumadin and stopping and starting is a pain and probably costs more as I would need to transition through Lovenox. The virtual was extremely interesting as it involves the same clean out plus some contrast agents and they check you in a CT scanner. Not only reports on the colon but all the organs in the vicinity. Unfortunately it is only recommended for 5 years vs the usual uneventful colonoscopy which would have given me 10. The Cologuard calls for three years but now over 75 I think they may stop testing. At my age, anyone that gives me a three year warranty is giving me a potential lifetime warranty. |

Errr.... a sewer is precisely where your pee goes anyway, so you did good. Not necessarily. In many municipalities, any sewer that you could pee into is not the sewer you should be peeing into. Then it isn't a sewer. A sewer is for human effluent. If it's a for rainwater, it's not a sewer. Where exactly do you go to get all of your incorrect information? Sewer takes in a lot of different systems, but they all come under the same overall term. Sanitary sewers usually carry the effluent from toilets. Storm drains usually carry the water runoff from rain. Combined sewers do both. Maybe in America you confuse the terms, but in the UK a sewer has a clear meaning, it's dirty foul smelling waste that needs to be cleaned before putting it into a river. Towns do have ordinances about putting effluent in storm drains but I don't imagine too many people have been arrested for peeing in a sewer. It's easier to arrest someone for that than to investigate someone's private property to see if they bothered putting the pipes in the right place. Although.... it's not illegal to pee on open land, which will end up in the same river. -- "Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics." - Fletcher Knebel |
