OMG (need green, puke face emoticon here)....

:huh:

I am sitting here, mindin' my own bidness, typing away (a rather dull prisoner) and the news is on in the background. The phrase "world's largest hairball" catches my attention..... :blink:

seems a barber somewhere in the US has been collecting hair for quite some time - they showed his giant hairball, in some kind of netting, taking up the entire back of a pickup truck..............

oh gawd - - I think I could hurl....................

:huh:

Nice poetry Amanda!

Having a bit of a blah day here. (No Susie, not a triple blah, just blah). I have spent the whole stinkin' day waiting for the handyman guy to come. Now the kids will be getting off of the bus in about 20 minutes and I didn't get any errands run. Plus, I don't know what it is but I've been waking up every night at about 4:00am. Then it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half to get back to sleep . . . UGH!!

Sorry for the rant . . .

OK, you guys have stepped all around it (and *sniff*sniff* apparently someone has stepped in it). . . you've been talking about Target and IKEA and Jess wants a way to indulge herself . . . duuuhhhh, shopping!!! credit card debt!!!! come on, you guys can't see the forest for the trees!!!

I will gladly do RS's laundry--or anyone elses, for that matter. I love to do laundry :ph34r: Something about those nice clean piles of neatly folded clothes. :ph34r:

Oh DEAR GOD Patti!!!!! :blink:

Ahhhh...first it was teeth, now makeup, and GASP- don't tell me you skip the 100 strokes of hair brushing too? And the cold cream? Dear God- you ill kempt wenches make me want to let patti do my laundry!

BEV - - don't pretend you haven't already asked her

I think we all need to have Patti teach us laundry, etiquette and manners (even if she's into Dirty, Sexy monkeys??????????????) :P:lol:

:lol::lol:

so......you're saying that Jess just needs, in order to live on the edge and do something reprobate and damaging, to just shop madly and put things on her credit card.......hmmmm....yes, this could work.

However, after hours and late at night, whilst sitting in one's pj's lamenting the day, I think knocking back a few is the most satisfying answer.

;)

In Patti's case, she could just NOT fold the laundry......leave it recklessly strewn all over the bed or something (as happens here).

Patti, you would be in laundry heaven at my house!!!! You are welcome to visit anytime! ;) We will have load after load of laundry for you because it never ends.

The Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

1. You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the product increase as the shopper ascends the flights.

2. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Drop-Dead Good Looking and Help with Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it. Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and have a Strong Romantic Streak!

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes on to the sixth floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner also opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME

WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

I thought that I could love no other -- That is, until I met your

brother.

This one always cracks me up because I dated my hubby's brother about 10 years before I started seeing my (now ) hubby. Actually- it was our third anniversary on Tuesday!

OMG- Carla- MOST EXCELLENT HUMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it! My Uncle Ray will love it!

Gus and Allo and Annie and Jess's dog pic (how are the kitties?) are so cute. Do you all know about my secret love? Simon Kitty? He's 6 and weighs 20 pounds....biggest baby ever but I love, love, love him and Angus does too.....it's so funny. He love nibbles his legs.

I thought Simon would be horrified by a dog and never come out from under the bed but he loves Angus. I'll put up his pic.

And..... a little humoUr:

A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.

"I don't want to know," the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me."

Confused, the father asked what was wrong.

The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech.

At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech.

When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa' speech.

"If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for."

What a lovely big gentleman you have, Bev! Simon is lovely. We have two cats to distract Gus, and they are all rather hilarious together.

A picture of all of them together...now that would be a trick...

Wonder how Richard's painting went today. Wonder where Tom is. Hey! I really wonder if Bob got some lungs!

This JUST IN from Uncle Ray:

Fart Football

An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, "Seven Points."

His wife rolls over and says, "What in the world was that?" The old man replied, "It's fart football."

A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says "Touchdown, tie score."

After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, "Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7."

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, "Touchdown, tie score."

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says,"Field goal, I lead 17 to 14." Now the pressure is on the old man.

He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard. Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally poops in the bed.

The wife says, "What the heck was that?"

The old man says, "Half time, switch sides."

~alex~ Explorer
The old man says, "Half time, switch sides."

:lol: :lol:

Here is my grandpa's favourite joke:

A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "doctor, I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn`t bother me too much. My farts never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I`ve farted at least 20 times since I`ve been here in your office. You didn`t know I was farting because they don`t smell and are silent."

The doctor says,"I see, take these pills and come back to see me next week."

The next week the lady comes back and is terribly upset. "Doctor," she says, "I don`t know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts... Although still silent... stink terribly."

The doctor says, "Good!! Now that we`ve cleared up your sinuses, lets work on your hearing..."

My grandpa has a pretty juvenile sense of humour! He thinks he's pretty funny (and so do I :lol: )!

...Wonder how Richard's painting went today. Wonder where Tom is. Hey! I really wonder if Bob got some lungs!

Since it's my job to check on Bob . . . just checked, no lungs. :(

Yes, I've been wondering about Tom, too. Haven't even seen him on. He's been packing (supposedly), so is he moving? movin' on up? to the east side? to a deluxe apartment in the sky?

And Richard's paintings? Abstract or Realism?

That's a nice BIG kitty you got there, BEV. He doesn't look like he would be afraid of a "little" dog like Angus.

Oh and the humour: :lol::lol::lol: All except for fart football that's :o EWWWW then :lol::lol:

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any formal test results that prove celiac disease, you could just as easily have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, what testing you have had done indicates you do not have celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten is the antidote for both. What muddies this whole question are two things: 1. Lack of official diagnostic data that indicates celiac disease. 2. Your persistence in consuming gluten, even though in smaller amounts. Your anxiety over the insomnia seems to outweigh your anxiety over the weight loss which prevents you from truly testing out the gluten free diet. What other medical testing have you had done recently? I think something else is going on besides a gluten disorder. Have you had a recent CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a recent CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)? You say you don't believe you have any vitamin and mineral deficiencies but have you actually been tested for any. I certainly would be concerned with that if I was losing weight like you are despite consuming the high amount of calories you are.

      Welcome to the forum, @AndiOgris! Recently upgraded guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks to the day of testing to ensure valid testing, either for the antibody testing or the endoscopy/biopsy. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. So, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not your gluten consumption was intense enough to ensure valid testing the second time around. And was the tTG-IGA the only antibody test that was run? That is far from a comprehensive celiac panel. Concerning your negative biopsy, there is the possibility of patchy damage that was missed due to inadequate sampling as you alluded to. There is also the possibility that the onset of your celiac disease (if you have it) was so new that there had not yet been time to accumulate damage to the small bowel lining. Your total lack of symptoms at the time of diagnosis would seem to support this idea. Having said all that, and this is my informal observation from reading many, many posts like yours over the years, I wonder if you are on the cusp of celiac disease, crossing back and forth across that line for the time being. My suggestion would be to keep a close eye on this for the time being. Watch for the development of symptoms and request a more complete celiac panel a year from now. Here is an article that discusses the various antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Note: The EMA test is kind of outdated and expensive. It has been replaced by the tTG-IGA which measures the same thing and is less expensive to run.

      Hi, yes. Much more solid and firm, as opposite to diarrhea like when on gluten.
    • AndiOgris
      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago. I am in my early 40s and did not have any symptoms, but I took a blood test in November 2023 and it came back positive (TTG IGA 23.4 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). I was referred for a gastroscopy to confirm, which was scheduled for October 2024 (I use the UK health service, things move slowly!). The gastroscopy found no evidence of celiac disease.  My gastroenterologist has asked me to retake the blood test, and it just came back negative (TTG IGA 1.6 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). Given the long wait between my initial positive blood test and my gastroscopy, I reduced my gluten intake but never avoided it fully. In the 6 weeks before the gastroscopy and the second blood test, I made sure to eat at least two slices of bread a day as recommended, and often I had significantly more.  So what's going on? I understand that false positives are very rare for celiac blood tests, and usually associated with other serious diseases which I am fairly sure I don't have (my health is generally very good). After the negative biopsy, I thought that (i) either they did not take enough samples, or (ii) I have "potential celiac disease". But now that the second blood test has come back negative, I'm running out of plausible explanations...  Can anyone make sense of this? I have not spoken to my gastroenterologist yet - I wanted to get a better sense of where I am beforehand so that I can ask the right questions. Under the UK system, specialist doctors can be very hard to get hold of, so I need to make the most of my time with him! Thanks!

      Do you mean that your stools firmed up when you began to cut gluten from your diet?
