Well, being a PD patient, it is that time when I have to do my 3-4 month adequacy to check for my urine output. There is nothing more exciting than carrying a brown jug with you all day and trying to find discreet places where to do it. In these days of homeland security, if someone sees me with a brown jug, they could very easily report me for being involved in subterfuge. Try explaining to a cop what you are trying to accomplish. Typically, I have to find a building that doesn't have much activity and sneak to the back of it and urinate into the jug quick enough and hope no cop sees me. Again, I couldn't think of a better way to spend a day! Does anyone have similar experiences especially like me where I am on the road all the time?

It is so mind-bogglingly idiotic that I think that even Seinfeld wouldn't believe it!

Of course there are but I don't feel like walking into a crowded store with a brown jug. You see my point!

If you were female, you could get a really cool tote to carry it in.  Fashion accessories rule!!
