Commenting on someone's post about a 17-yo getting up to go to the bathroom. It is not unusual at all. Not everyone has the same bladder capacity or control of their bladder. My granddaughter wet the bed until she was about 10, if her mom didn't get her up to go to b/r at least once, and sometimes did anyway. I don't recall sleeping through the night without having to get up to go to the b/r at least once myself. So, I don't think it was unusual... she could have drank beer or soft drinks just before going to bed, too.
As to having the general discussion threads, I like them, and was disappointed when they were discontinued in the CA forum. It's nice to have a central place where you can talk about anything without being bashed for being off topic. The only problem is, I miss so much because I can't stay logged in 24/7 and the threads move so fast, I can't keep up!! So if a subject gets repeated a lot, that's okay, it means some of us don't miss as much!
