The secret to ripping up carpet is to do it in 3-4 foot strips. It's so much more manageable that way ;)

:unsure: Yes, I do know about that part.....but then how do I dispose of it? and will anyone think I am.....disposing of a dead body???????????? :o:lol:

Sounds good! What color should the flags be?

they are multi-coloUred, with Care Bears!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I've made a few calls and a pulled a few strings and I've managed to get use of an old Open Original Shared Link. We will have to provide our own singer (the former Miss America has a previous committment) - I believe Emily was up for that. Plus, we will need to provide our own machine guns as the orginal float was never equipped with them.

I refuse to be the one that has to walk behind the yeti with the trash can and the giant pooper scooper.

Susie . . . Female Comebacks = :lol::lol::lol:

Also, time for a new av - this is the back of my daughter's head - of course, taken by my son so he could show her what her hair looks like back there.

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!

I have to tell you, I have been on c.com for nearly two years, and I have never, ever, ever laughed as I just did. I mean, a huge *WHOOP* and *GUFFAW* leading into a deep belly laugh that went on for nearly a full 60 seconds, and I am STILL LAUGHING as I see the words, and imagine other newcomers seeing this sentence:

Plus, we will need to provide our own machine guns as the orginal float was never equipped with them.

:huh:

I am quite serious when I say that I am STILL laughing, and tears are forming in the corners of my eyes....in fact Annie just arose from a deep and contented lazy-arse sleep and walked over, placing her head on my thigh. :huh:<------- Annie's face

I must thank you for the BEST laugh EVER on this forum.....(oops - EXCEPT for summer of 2006 w/ Cecile and all others and all shenanigans on OMG - :lol::ph34r: )

yeti poop scooper :lol:

Um BTW your son is a future film director I think. With his deranged yet wildly clever photos, and such superb syllabolic play as "burrito eater," there can be no doubt. :lol:

TriticusToxicum Explorer
:lol::o Thought about this option. The thing is, it involves meh...mmeh....measuring and cutting things to fit - you don't EVER want me doing that. :huh: I am sure I could enlist some help but dang, the thought of ripping out and getting rid of carpet is just beyond egregious and repugnant and really just WAY too taxing......

here's something.

Female Comebacks

Man: Is this seat empty?

Woman: Yes and this one will be if you sit down.

Man: So, what do you do for a living?

Woman: I'm a female impersonator.

Man: How do you like your eggs in the morning?

Woman: Unfertilized

Good stuff :P I've never heard any of them before :ph34r:

Now for something completely different...Open Original Shared Link funny, and yet

:huh:

This has been a public service announcement sponsored by the coalition for stalker-free internet. it's 1:45 do you know what you kids are up to? :huh:

Back to the sillies!

Yes, I do know about that part.....but then how do I dispose of it? and will anyone think I am.....disposing of a dead body????????????

...if they are 3' strips...not likely...a dismembered body perhaps :ph34r:

Janet, is that your daughter's REAL HAIR!!!??? I thought it was a wig! I'm going to have to print that out and take it to my hair stylist! I WANT IT! LOL

Patti, we need a twirler, do you still fit in your sequined leotard? How fun!

Susie, I think you could do the Pergo yourself. From what I've heard, it's pretty easy. We just put the old carpet out by the curb, but you might want to call the trash people and check. If someone thinks it's a body, they will be sadly disappointed once they check it out!

it is laminate flooring, quite good quality, that looks like wood floor. Very attractive, my mom had it in Monterey......quite dingo-proof, also. ;)

beyond egregious and repugnant and really just WAY too taxing......

"Repugnant"! A wonderful yet woefully underused word.

Female Comebacks

:lol: Saw one like this also.

But some faves of mine missing in your list are:

"Haven't we met before?"

"Yes, I'm the receptionist at the V.D. Clinic."

"I know how to please a woman."

"Then please leave me alone."

P.S. Ahhhh Pergo ... . .. I had just started choosing which style to put in my condo when celiac started taking over ... .. :(

Susie, surely we can use your old carpeting in our procession...is it a royal scarlet colour, suitable for rolling out in front of our King and Queen?

And whoa, guys....Care Bear Float, yes. Machine guns....welllll...uh...no. C'mon, ya think we got Mr. Heston as our Grand Marshall? sssshuuuddddder...

Ridgewalker Contributor

Hmm... I don't twirl anything... I only play CDs.... <_<

I have been in a couple parades, as a Girl Scout, and all I had to do was walk. Yeah, that's right... I was a Girl Scout!

Maybe I can make a big Celiac Awareness CareBear for the float. Bet I could do that ;) It'll be a green bear, and have the No Wheat symbol on it's belly!

Charlton Heston. :lol: He can come if he's Celiac. But we'll need someone else there to lobby for the proper CONTROL of our machine guns.

Tassels? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dlp252 Apprentice

Did someone say mojito?! Throw in some chocolates along the way and I'm there. :P

Green12 Enthusiast

What kind of crazy parade is this??

Machine guns, Care Bears, tassels and Charlton Heston??

Oh heck if chocolates are involved, I'm in.

Daughter-of-TheLight Apprentice
I most humbly accept until page 300 and will sit on the throne in my Yeti proof house. The only things I will command my subjects to do are as follows:

drink mojitos

drink vodka

drink champagne (Moet and Chandon Nectar Imperial!)

trample on trampolines

twirl tassles with bawdy debauchery (or in the men's cases do something wiith your ball bearings)

no pap smears

no testicular exams

and...

KEEP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Your loyal Queen Bev of the Order of the Twirling tassles

-.O

I'm a minor, your highness. All my beverages are Virgin... And I plan to keep it that way! The last one I will keep until... PAGE THREE HUNDRED!!! Or later, on whoever the queen is next. I was NEARLY the queen. if only i'd double-posted...

Daughter-of-TheLight Apprentice
Ahhh, the Kingdom doth prosper, and grow! Daughter of the Light, please come into our grand Processional Parade...I believe you would add much interest with your propensity for dancing. You could appear in the middle, performing your Danzon, or a merengue, which I noticed you mentioned in your last post. However, methinks you should be performing something more like a dirvish, as this all has a very Medieval feel to it. Hmmm....we could even have you on a large Carebear float, if you wish...

AND ALL HAIL OUR RIGHTEOUS QUEEN BEVERLY!

Nay to Papal Smeareths!

...and ALL balls bearing! :lol::lol:

Ohh, may I? And can I have a Lord Of the Rings float instead? And Can I have machine guns? (Maybe a Russian nine-pounder... hehehe) I can swing, tango, waltz, salsa, do the rose ceremony, danzon, merengue, line dance, square dance, and even do the electric slide and the cotton-eyed joe if you wish! I really need to get on here more. Then I can treat you to my... many book quotes? *giggles evilly*

tom Contributor
. . . And Can I have machine guns? (Maybe a Russian nine-pounder... hehehe)

Although it was pages ago that I called "shotgun" for whichever vehicle has machine-guns, I know in my heart that I must yield to DoTL. ;)

Not sure about the ammo procurement on a Russian gun. Maybe we could just shoot probiotics and magnesium capsules. And CANDY CORN!! Bet they fly well w/ the right rifling to provide good rotation.

Ridgewalker Contributor

ooooooh, candy corn! :P

Your dancing is certainly allowed, Light. I AM starting to be a little concerned about the, uh, over-use of machine guns. :unsure:

Um, can we get a veto, Queen Bev?

Yes, surely we will dispense and hurl benign objects and lovely, happy candies and sugar-y treats. Every one will love us. And NO mojitos will be Virgin.

:lol:

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
    • Cathijean90
      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
    • Scott Adams
      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.
    • KDeL
      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
