The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

OK. It's Sat morn and I'm not awake yet. The only glasses I can find slide off my face when I look down. I am computer (almost) illiterate. And you want me to go to page 1512. How do you do that? One page at a time? Does this silver man have anything to do with a garage in Washington left perhaps by a man in a trenchcoat who refers to himself lovingly as Deep Throat? If not, Please instruct. I had a grin on my face yesterday - could that be the beginning of an attack of funny?

It certainly could--we tend to have that effect on people :D

To get to a certain page, look to the bottom left of your screen and you'll see a box that says "2267 pages" (the page we're currently on). Click on the dropdown in the box and you can just type in the page you want. :)

And you want me to go to page 1512. How do you do that?

At the top (or bottom) of the page on the right, the current page count is shown. To the right of it is a triangle pointing down. Click the triangle, and a window will open where you can type in the page number to which you wish to go.

Well, I learned something new. After reading about him for 4 pages, I feel like I know him. And I already miss him terribly. Where can I get my own Sam Hill Manhead? My Dh doesn't have a parking garage where he works (the barbarian) and, besides, what are the chances of that happening twice? Seriously, I need someone to walk with. I could put him in a little wagon - he could protect me from the wild dogs that roam the area. And all the young girls in the nieghborhood would secretly think of me as a cougar (which I am). And the money I would save if I saw a shrink! I could just talk to him! Is he silli? Is it too soon to be thinking about the "L" word?

I woke up Mark :P who tried to swat it with a rolled up newspaper, but only succeeded in knocking it to the floor--where it ran under the bed. Then it just disappeared :huh:

Dear gawd........ .. . . ..this would NOT be good fer me, either.... . . ...and imagine Soooozle? Methinks she would be awake ALL night. .. .. .. :lol:

Our Ranger is digging up some silly, yet Jyesss seems down a quart.

Eat, and things will be all better. This, unfortunately, seems true for EVERY situation. <_<

We go and get J3 tomorrow morning.....haven't seen him in two weeks. Bet he's taller (even standing legitimately)..... . . He is growing SO quickly right now...

Ranger Soooozun! Yes, I hear you on the immediate connection, the magic one feels upon first encountering SHM. Jus' somethin' about him. . ........and you're right, the chances of it happening twice - - something of this calibre, slim to none.

I think we need every Psilly to put up their avatars in which he has appeared, so that you can really get a sense of exactly how much he has infiltrated our lives. My pic is stored in my other computer, so I will get onto it next post and put it up.

Since my kitchen is in disarray, my dryer is also not hooked up so I've been line drying. I switched out my sheets and made a discovery - flannel is not meant to be baked dry on a clothes line. It was like sleeping between sheets of sandpaper.

On the up side, I figure this whole body exfoliation woulda cost me a fortune at a spa. :mellow:

Gah! Well, we must recruit Jyaghnutt, the creator of most of these amazing pictoral accounts of Sam's whereabouts. Hopefully she kept copies of the ones she made.....

JAHNUTTTT!

I did read about that. Maybe next time they measure, you could put Sam Hill Manhead on his head and maybe they won't notice a kid with a head on his head and measure him taller. I think I' getting fixated. Seiously, it's rough being 13.

Does he take the heighth thing seriously, or does it not bother him?

HEY! We never thought of that as a practical use for SHM! For those guys who are short and want to appear considerably taller........he could be an extender! Put him on yer head, wrap yer shirt around yer real head and neck........VOILA.

The bonus: He has a much better-looking face than many short blokes I know.. . .. ..

Okay, Soooozun and Shroomie! Head back to page 1512 - - mid-November 2008 - - the sudden introduction of Sam Hill Manhead into our lives. . . .......

:lol:

Reading it again, I remain fascinated in where he came from..... . . ....why he was there, right when DH was unlocking his car.... . . . ....what does it meeeeeeean?

..

The appearance of Sam Hill Manhead is mysterious indeed, and never has so much care been put into selecting an appropriate name :lol: Do ya think some woman who didn't appreciate what she had knocked 'im off 'is pedestal?? :lol: Her loss, our gain! Thanks for digging that out, Em. It plugged some other gaps too!

Last night just as I was going to sleep, I turned and saw the biggest black bug on the wall, up near the ceiling :o I woke up Mark :P who tried to swat it with a rolled up newspaper, but only succeeded in knocking it to the floor--where it ran under the bed. Then it just disappeared :huh:

Oh man, I can so relate to that one. As a certified arachnophobic, as a teenager I snuck in after curfew to find this humongous spider on the wall above my bed. Plucked up my courage and took a thwack at it and lost it!! It fell between my bed and the wall (onto very dark stained wood) and vanished. I could nae ask for any assistance, so after searching all the bedclothes I quietly slid the bed out into the middle of the room, lifted all bedclothes clear of the floor, and laid awake in terror all night. Never did see the bugger again.

UNLIKE the spider I found in my friend's guest bed. Thwacked at that one and lost it too, and just had a feeling that I had nae seen the last of it. Fortunately I had been a little dephobia-ized by then so that when it reappeared I did not die like I might have before. Took a sweater out of a dresser drawer and put it on; little while later I scratched a tickle on my arm, but it did not go away. Premonition hit and I walked (did NOT run, but uncalmly) into the bedroom and pulled the sweater off inside out and THERE HE WAS. I made sure I despatched him that time.

To get to a certain page, look to the bottom left of your screen and you'll see a box that says "2267 pages" (the page we're currently on). Click on the dropdown in the box and you can just type in the page you want. :)

Now I knew that, one of the few things I do know so I had to tell ya. :D

Since my kitchen is in disarray, my dryer is also not hooked up so I've been line drying. I switched out my sheets and made a discovery - flannel is not meant to be baked dry on a clothes line. It was like sleeping between sheets of sandpaper.

I do believe you have just discovered why Nickerler is always ironing :lol: :lol: Ya gotta iron out the sandpaper!

OMG........ . . . :lol: I remember this.... . .... how he was staring lovingly, possessively at you, Patteigh....we all commented on this. . . . .

Ah that chiselled chin, that straight nose, that loving gaze...whatta guy! Pity he does not have the appropriate appendages!! :P

Good lord Em, why did ya give 'im away??

Amanda has a Maine Coon too!!! Aren't they just the greatest, and yes, they do lick you like a dog, make you a member of the Maine Coon tribe. Miss Em does not walk on the keyboard; she lies beside the computer, always likes to be close, but parks right in front of the screen so you can't see a thing (yeah, 15 lbs plus and takes up the whole screen) when she wants something (like dinner :lol: ) She's bossy too; herds us around when she thinks it's time for us to go to bed. Yeah, I'm missing her!

Damn, I had this post all planned out and then Clay insisted he had to use THIS computer for IMPORTANT business (like psillies are unimportant :o ) and everything has gone out of my pea brain. Oh well, there wasn't a lot in there anyway....

Why do we have to get cold when you gets cold, Soozle? It's not going to get above 70 all day today in the glorious Sierra Nevada :( And just when the smoke cleared from the NorCal fires too. Why does California have to blow everything in our direction??

Sorry about your 'puter woes :(

Yeah, isn't Soozun a kick in the pants!! I's going to have to find more psilly.

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster.  Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long before this.

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      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?
