My friend invited me out for lunch at this nice, clean sit-in place, where I got to order a salad of my choice with two chicken toppings out of a wall-mounted variety. I don't remember the name of the place. However, it was a nice experience. Thereafter, we headed down to one of my favorite dessert destinations, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in McAllen. It had been a while since we just...

DS, I just have to say that if I did not love my friends here on DS I would be gone in a heart beat! I am at my wits end of losing posts! It seems like the Gateway thing seems to be a you problem. How can we fix it? I always make sure that I am online and signed in before I hit send.Welcoming any suggestions other than the ones that I recieved before.


I wear a pad all the time. These are available in many shapes and sizes and with different absorbencies. I wear Abri San Premium 6 (approx. £10 for 34) ref:9378. These are for moderate to heavy incontinence with an absorbency of up to 1,600 ml. Overall, mine measure 63x30cm. The absorbent part is about 55cm. in length and 18cm. wide, widening to 25cm at the front and back. Inside are two elasticated expanding pockets about 2.5cm.deep 18cm. apart extending the whole length of the absorbent area to prevent spillage. The absorbent area is surrounded by a strong margin 2.5cm. wide for gripping to adjust the position of the pad.
The pad is held in place by unisex net fixation pants - Abena Abri Fix large (from £3 for 5) ref:9251 or Allanda iD Expert Ultra Large about £6 for 25. Nurses and carers refer to them as knickers, pants or nets. They are similar to women's full-sided net briefs without gusset; because they are high waist and stretchy they can be pulled up past my navel. They can be washed many times and last more than a month. They tend to be tight around my groin and often the leg band digs into the area between the top of my leg and my pubic triangle: so I buy a size larger than what would appear to be my size from my waist measurement.
