@DailyDi Sounds AWESOME - my main monitor is 24" and my linux Machine monitor is a 17" - Eventually, wanna put a shelf back up that I took down YEARS ago when I moved, and when I moved back in 2007, I never had it put back up - Since Dad made it, he put it up in 2000, but we had to take it down in 2006, and Dad was 60, now hes 73, so have to be careful what I expose him to: Im sure he could help me though - Nice Setup, and I'm Now a celebrity hehehe Then, I want to see about putting monitors on the wall Take Care, Brian

@DailyDi How do you mount those? Above you, directly on the wall, or in front of you mounted to an arm? Looks like something I'd love to do someday Brian

Preparing to change into a Northshore Megamax now

Try This: I place this here because sometimes it takes a few extra steps to get to chat from the inside: https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/chat/ Brian

@3bsg3 Granted: But as with All Nappy Rash, You need to keep it well protected and keep a "Barrier" there so it will heal: To do this, you may have to go "Commando" for a few hours a day. I wish my feet and legs wouldn't hurt

@DailyDi Isn't it JUST like that? Every time you think you have everything covered, you have something "On its last legs" or Flickering: Hopefully, these monitors are OLD CRT's, but even then, they would have to be replaced at some point - It always seems to happen when you LEAST expect it! Hopefully, you will be able to replace these with newer monitors - I think fixing the flatscreen ones can also be a challenge Good Luck! Brian

@Warmwetandcozy HOLY Smokes! I must say that what you are apparently experiencing is something that is agonizing: However, asking anyone to remove your testicles is the VERY last thing that I would want to do. As others (@Elfy @Alex Bridges) have cautioned, I would definitely want to see a urologist, and any other specialist necessary to see what could be causing the pain. This is especially important if you are not sure what it could possibly be, and you have NOT been evaluated. I would make an appointment with your Primary Doctor, be evaluated, and referred to the proper specialist(s) before I would go and have the testicles removed. You may have something that is treatable, or a problem that is underlying, and taking DRASTIC STEPS like this would ONLY be advisable under a doctors care. You may also want to see an Oncologist (Cancer specialist) to make sure the problem is not related to cancer. You may find that what causes the problem is treatable, without going to the extreme of testicle removals. @Elfy is correct. Doing any of the things he lists above can change your life forever. If you are young, and 23, you should reconsider any decisions that would change your life like this. If there is a UTI here, or any problem that can be treated with medications, including things like Azithromicyn, or others, these will be a fair bit cheaper, and you won't have to go to these extremes - Antibiotics should be tried FIRST! TRUST me - Again @Elfy is CORRECT, and you just can't go in and have a doctor "snip snip, GONE" your testicles - ANYONE who is "transitioning" can tell you this: Its NOT easy, and it should NOT be - as you are making decisions you CANNOT "back out of" This transitioning process takes a LONG time, and is something that should be well thought out and explored FULLY - in ADDITION, ask anyone going through this process, and like @Elfy said, they can probably TELL you that its NOT cheap! As @Alex Bridges says, you should see a Doctor, and get either a script to deal with the problem, and a referral to a specialist to get evaluated! Any problem you could have could be indicative of a more SERIOUS problem - Especially if it could be cancerous - Have all the possibilities checked - You may find that it is a simple problem that can be dealt with - but, you will not know that until you make an appointment with your doctor and have him check this out! Good Luck! Brian

@DL-Boy Guys can get UTI's if they are in a position where they are NOT able to pee the "Normal way" This means they would use a cath, and had a cath in, and then pulled it out. There are people who also can get it if there is a prolonged use of a urinal, or you are bedridden for a while. When I was 30, I had appendicitis, and from the getgo, they had a catheter in me. I had this thing in for 2 weeks and then they pulled it out, and I was able to clear the problem, but this requires you to be able to pee out into a toilet or a urinal. You can also get it after having to do this for a long period. As I stated above, if you are bedridden, you use a urinal and pee in that, and if you cant get to the toilet, you have them measure and empty the results every time. Most guys I know stand UP when the pee, so the pee travels down the pipes and you pee in the toilet. You can, and I have, experienced a UTI because there is bacteria in the pipes, and it BURNS really bad. For that, the doctor prescribes Monistat 1 to get rid of the bacteria. Bacteria can still be there: This is why I think I got a UTI about 4 days after I got out of the hospital in 2002. A cath tube is NOT the "natural way" to pee, and anything that can enter your body (penis) that is NOT natural can either carry the bacteria in, or allow it to build up - which is why I am glad that as soon as practical, they remove the cath, and allow people to use the urinal. Urine is sterile, but can cause issues with bacterial growth, I believe. Brian

Same situation today - Have changed 3 times today since 5AM - will be changing after I shower Brian

@Tusk626 You are Welcome! Just FYI: because of my disabilities, I have incontinence and diverticulitis LISTED on my medical records - Did that because if someone needs to help me with a change, they are authorized to do it, and no one will get into trouble, and agencies will NOT get the wrong ideas - I want to be transparent with those who SHOULD and HAVE to know that I wear/use diapers. If you are going in for a physical, and he is checking the "plumbing," all I would do, is remove the diaper when he asks you to, and then change the diaper when you are finished, disposing of it when you leave: It may take you a while to adjust once you make the transition, but If you eventually want to be using 24/7, you will have to learn to change in different places at at different times. Take Care, and Good Luck! Brian

@Tusk626 I agree with everyone here. If you are going to try to use diapers 24/7, you should WEAR DIAPERS EVERYWHERE and use them everywhere. You should NOT be afraid to wear, but as @rusty pins has stated, you don't want to tell the doctor a "medical lie" because they will know one way or the other. If the doctor asks you a question, you could tell the doctor that you choose to wear diapers to make yourself feel better, or because of a choice that you want to use diapers as your underwear. A doctor will understand - They are required to keep stuff confidential - Unless medically necessary for your emergency contact to be informed. Going 24/7 is a BIG step, and if you are going to do this, you should make the decision, and stick to it - This means carrying your change of clothes, diapers, powder, wipes, rash cream, underpads, etc WITH you - as @rusty pins has stated, you are either all IN or not - just be prepared for your situations, and prepared for times when you will have to change in inconvenient places, or change at inconvenient times: You are making a commitment, so you have to decide: Do you want to wear diapers, or do you NOT want to wear diapers? As far as wearing diapers to the doctors: If you are wearing diapers NOW, you should wear diapers at the appointment. After last year, having diverticulitis and accidents, I made the decision to go with diapers: I am incontinent, so I have NO CHOICE, I have to wear them. I WILL wear them, and my doctor and support teams know that I wear them, and that it is a choice: The choice is MINE, and I want to make it easier for myself, due to limited mobility, safety and comfort. The Doctor KNOWS I wear, and why, because he helped me get the diapers I use, and I told him that the Megamax diapers work for me, so thats what I get. It would be ILL ADVISED to lie to, or hide ANYTHING from your doctor. The doctor works for you and with you, and the only way the doctor can help you to his/her best ability is for you to be OPEN, HONEST and STRAIGHT with him or her. DO NOT hide anything from him/her. Good Luck! Brian

@3bsg3 Could there be a situation that changed the way your urine smells? By this, I mean is there some sort of chemical change that caused the bad smelling pee? There are several chemical processes that go on in your body, and your urine PH or body PH may have changed, which may have caused the foul smelling pee.... Just a thought.... Good Luck! Brian

As of NOW, I am in a WET (8x) Megamax, garywear Brief, black black cargo shorts, Black Shirt, Black Hat. Riding Gloves, and sandals

@Babyspiderboy95 Why Shoes?: I agree with @Alex Bridges babies and toddlers are usually only clad in a t-shirt and a diaper when it is warm outside, and when REALLY hot, a Diaper, only. Because a little one is little, they can get away with being "naked" outside kids playing outside on hot pavement or on hard surfaces would need their shoes - Especially if they are moving around on hard or uneven/hot ground. When I was little, I was clad in Shorts, T-Shirt, a Diaper and my braces and shoes: RARELY did I go outside without shoes on, but that is because I needed the support of my parents if I didn't have them on. Remember, I have Cerebral Palsy, so I needed the support of my shoes to be able to help me move! Why No Pants?: Because they are babies/toddlers/young kids - as I said, they can "get away" with being naked, or the lil' ladies going without shirts, and on a HOT day, the best way to keep them cool is to dress them down as much as possible, and make sure that they are hydrated, and don't get sunburn - It is socially "acceptable" to allow young kids to do that, and in your own yard, who's gonna be the wiser? *grin* Pants can protect you from scrapes/burns, etc, but I'm sure that youngsters LOVE to run naked around the place/yard, and sometimes, it feels good to go "commando" hehehe If you like playing with hoses, sprinklers, water, or in swimming pools being minimally dressed is EXACTLY why going in Shirt/shoes/diaper is awesome - because you are gonna change a diaper if they use it, and you'll change it AGAIN if it gets waterlogged Nowadays, kids that are using pools have "swim diapers" - When I grew up, it was Rubber Pants over diapers, or Rubber Pants used as a diaper when swimming. They are REALLY strict about this, but in my day, I think it was given that lil ones would have accidents, and that's why I was clad that way. You also may see kids that are potty training being taught outside, where they are in their own yards - naked, because you want them to learn that when they FEEL the need to pee, they can RUN to a designated spot, such as next to a tree and GO! Those were the Days Brian

Fraction (because a fraction is simply a division problem: 1 over 2 (1/2) means 1 is the Divisor, and 2 is the Dividend, or 1 is the Numerator, 2 is the Denominator. Another example is 3/15 (or 15 divided by 3, and the answer 5, is the Quotient) Fractions can also be improper or Mixed Numbers (like 1 3/8)
