I think we should ALL gather in a pub today in a cold, snowy city wif a big, blazing fire......absinthe and cinnamon bread all around......a big limo w/ tiger pigs to drive us to a chalet wif crutch-tip infused ho'tubs :lol:

We so need to do this, sounds like a date. A silly date!!

So glad you had such a good time on Sat ;) And yes, go into Ulta, even though it's risky for ya, you must try the Brocato line. I am forever thankful to Patti for recommending it.

Emily, I do believe I've seen all kinds of lines for thinner hair, Volumizing is what the word for it is. The act of...... voluming I suppose? :lol::lol: I don't know what I am talking about, it's late. I'm giddy, but yes check out the drug store for some affordable options and look for that "V" word.

Thank gawd my kids don't play soccer or I would suspect you might be talking about ME!!!

:lol: Janet, this made me snort and guffaw!!!!!

Julie....glad you had a nice weekend getaway

eating out does get easier but it's never easy

Thanks Judy Jude :wub: How you doing/feeling??

So, this one time, when I was about 16, a squirrel killed itself on our power lines and took out the whole neighborhood. My 13 yr old neighbor, who was a great friend, decided to ask his mum if we could eat it. So she told him to chop it's head off and clean out its guts, which he did, and we proceeded to have Sparky Stew. Tastes like chicken. (They're from Arkansas, whaddaya want?)

Bunnie!!!!! My lord, now you made my crockpot image a reality :lol:

. . . . ...what exactly does the quintessential Soccer Mom look like? A short-haired van-driver, by the sounds of things. . . .. ....

Double snort!

Double guffaw!

Um, aren't squirrels just rats with bushy tails? B)

Xactly Peter.

My niece sings the cutest song about squirrels...

"squirrel, squirrel, shake your bushy tail" :D

Niikerler- If you find 'em buy me one too- I'll pay you back. I am SO glad that Tel doesn't have shingles- my dad had them last winter and they were SO painful!

Hey Bevel!! :wub: You gots snaugh?!?! I bet it is purty :)

Speaking of your dad, how is he doing? How is the kitteh Angus 2??

They thought gluten was in milk?? Crazy, but I believe it.

Even had one manager tell me...."Oh, my husband had that but he got over it!".....after they poisoned me. (This was in an Outback that has a gluten-free menu). "Oh...you can't have potatoes..right?" I love the way they set the bread directly in front of you after you tell them you can't have it...and the croutons on the salads.....We do NOT go out to anyplace anymore...have not in about a year...I'm too paranoid :ph34r:

These comments are ones for the book Theresa :shaking head:

Speaking of rashes and pain....when DD got tested for Lupus, it did come back positive for the skin version. DD was given topical cream and an oral prescription of some kind. The pills seem to help, but she still occassionally gets a HORRIBLE itch that is so bad it brings her to sobbing tears............and it is not where there is a rash........nothing. Now the derm thinks maybe it's not lupus. Jeez..........the first diagnosis before that was scabies..........WRONG :angry: ....so it's a vicious cycle of misdiagnoses!

Lisa, so your daughter was tested already for the Lupus? I am interested in knowing how they test and what the names of the tests are, if you happen to know.

Where be Tom???????????????????????????????????????

It's good that they get to learn drunken driving skills before developing any silly habits like, watching the road, or, keeping both hands on the wheel. They'll be so much more skilled.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

.... still lafffffing... lafffing... needed that :P

Ju-lee...I sympathize with the restaraunt thing. Around here, when we were attempting to still eat out, I've gotten some really strange comments. Even had one manager tell me...."Oh, my husband had that but he got over it!".....after they poisoned me. (This was in an Outback that has a gluten-free menu). "Oh...you can't have potatoes..right?" I love the way they set the bread directly in front of you after you tell them you can't have it...and the croutons on the salads.....We do NOT go out to anyplace anymore...have not in about a year...I'm too paranoid :ph34r:

I know, right!! They plop the evil thing in front of your face.. you're sittin' there like.. ummm.. kryptonite.. please remove.. dying.. keeling over... heeeeeeeellllppppp.. Or maybe that is just me and my weird imagination.. But I'm fairly certain just looking at the big 'ol bread bun is going to kill my shhhooper powers :D

Oops.. everything but the celiac disease... Ummmmmmm... we're talking about the malicious effects of buns of kryptonite.. what's gluten? who's Celiac? Pssshhhhh, I know nothing....

So next - - a leopard face, this one unsettlingly close. . .. . ...not gonna want to go to bed with it starin' at me, fo sho......will decidedly NOT be a bedroom piece.

oooh....so cool! How about a mini giraffe for me? I am mesmerized by their eyes (yes- they look like they have thyroid bulge :lol: but those lashes!!!!! They look so gentle and the bebes are all legs! :wub: :wub:

This was worth a good <SNORT>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Poor Weeze She needs her "alone time" now. I can see how the wee one would wear her out after a while.

Luckily the kitteh doesn't accompany you on walks!

Children will do that to you. Ask the moms here how many times they hid in the car when their kids were young. :P

I'm sure my dad did!

Speaking of which......Jules asked about me dad and Angus 2 the kitteh. dad is doing well- taking him to NY next time I have to go and he is over the moon! I love that guy :wub: 79 years old and still ready to pah-tay! As far as he and the wee kitteh- it's LOVE! She is back to Hazel though- took her to the vet and it turns out she was a cat up for adoption there first so they all came out looking for Hazel and petting her..........she became Hazel again toot suite! My dad's place (retirement community- story for another day!) has huge windows in the living room and hazel sits on the couch and bats at the snowflakes :wub: :wub:

how about this, my boss has poison oak in his weenis area and eveyrwhere else, too

he's a scritch-scratchin

Yikes- no phun for him- but you should keep count of scritching and scratching for blackmail at a later date!

Pt Deux momentarily..........

Mtndog Collaborator

Part Deux (I love when susie says that):

Good news- thyroid med upped and restarted antibiotic- energy slowly returning (note: slowly being keyword) but made three pairs of earrings and a necklace today. I'll take it! :D

But, am heart-broken. got a phone call today from our friend Mary. She is Kurt's second cousin twenty times removed but a friend. We love her- she's a hoot. She's in her fifties but has the attitude of a twenty five year old-pierced nose, massage therapist and all-around angel. She fought breast cancer last year and it came back and spread to her liver. On Friday she is having 80% of her liver removed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How crazy is that? And then intense chemo with 20% of a liver. Ugh.

This is the second blow in 2 months for us as one of my closest friends from childhood is going through chemo for fallopian cancer that spread to her ovaries (ovarian cancer runs in her family).

So disgusted with cancer. hate it hate it hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Patti, so sorry :( It's the pits, and so frusteratin but so glad you had access to the facilities. Hope your tummy and GI tract settle down soon.

I'm ok now, Julie--thanks :D

This is so good to hear!! I'm happy that Mr. Bevvies Dad is doing so well, ready to per-tay and that Hazel is.... well....Hazel again! :D

Green12 Enthusiast

Oh Bevel, I am so sorry about your cousin and friend. It's just not fair :(:( I'll keep them both in my thoughts that treatments go well and that they kick cancer's arse.

I'm not Bevving your other comments, just signing out for a few, but I will come back!! Just wanted to say something really quick about your friends :)

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat. 
    • trents
      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
