Dodgedude2001:

Welcome from another North American Westerner.
I have been doing dialysis also for 4 years and also still hate it!     >:(
Curious as to why you say it is for older people.
(And what age does older folks start at?)

I say that cuz the rules they have seem to fit older folks better. Like we cant stand, they get made when I hold my holes (on my arm), they get mad when I bring strippers to hang out with me, they get mad when I bring food......stuff like that.

No matter how or what I say about what is old.......Ill catch crap for it, so Im not going to say!! ;D

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
