Hilarious...Nikki's fantastic English idiomatic expressions had me, also, believing that "Parse the Parcel" was indeed a game in the UK where a present is passed around in a circle, and when a player receives the package they must try to guess what's in it and define it via its part of speech. :lol::lol:

Tis the ancient 'olde English' version......but Emily, I'm suprised your hubby's family didn't get you to play whilst in ole blighty - you would have been a winner!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Sillyville Memo in Reference to Tom's Av Caption: Do these come in Yeti sizes?

Poodle earmuffs come in the following sizes: Toy, Minature, SubStandard, and Standard. They are available in a variety of coloUrs with a "dyed-to-match" option available with the white poodle for an extra fee.

The good news is up it I did not clean.

Ahhhhhhh always dreamed/dreamt? of, but rarely attained.

And in a blink, it's gone.

*what's the over/under on how many times since there's been something to clean up?*

Happy day Happy a Birthday for Soughsie!

A Sunday not bluesy; not hangover woozy.

If that baker's cake has gluteny frosting, he

Shall rue the day he crossed us and crossed Dingy.

:lol: a most interesting pentamater for that curious birfday poetry

OMG Sillies, today we are trimming the Christmas tree. My cat has already tried to climb it....which he did not attempt last year. It's been fun. I am putting on the ornaments, John is watching the Giants/Eagles game...rooting for his Giants.

The weather outside is dreary!!!!

OMG this sounds so cozy!!!!!!! can I come?

........and AT LAST!!!!!! I finally have the tree and all decorations up *mumbles* heinous, heinous task, but with a little help from the people under the stairs they made it look like a veritable work of art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh I DO want some of those little people......alas, no stairs here under which for them to hide.............

and you, too, eh? on the backwards hedge hair? Got a case of that meself now......

For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and

masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends

to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear

lodged in his forehead while he is on fire.

:lol: can in fact vouch for this as am, er, a bit hormonal myself just now.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look at those dingo party hats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Our Janet - so clevah. I just MAY have to hijack that one..........

Yep, Emily's hubby is correct, the insurance company said no reimbursement on the yeti damage. We're thinking of suing the metallic glue people to recoup our losses as the warning label clearly does NOT state:not for use prior to applying electrodes. I mean, come on, they tell you not to eat it, not to glue your fingers together, not for use as an antidiarrhetic, and not to be used to keep small children in their chairs. If it was not meant for yeti usage, they should have said something.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Who doesn't like a nice ass Alas?

:lol:

Well....

CHAAAAAA-CHINGGGGGG!! :o:angry::angry:

:angry: oh how I sympathize on teh CHA-CHING.....................

receding gums? on a poodle? :huh: um yeaaaaaaaaaaah, SO? I have 'em too.......um, but what do we do about Receding Poodle Gums :lol: :lol: :lol:

Um, what was the name of our first band? was it BASP? um........what was the name of our SECOND band?

See, I'm closer to 50 now, am SO confused.

OMG earlier there were so many things I wanted to say. Now, I am just freezing cold and want to crawl into my warm bed. :huh:

And I am hungry, and there is no good food here. :angry: harummphffffffffffffffffffffff

Um, Janet, yes, we'll continue discussion of Yeti Confetti on THIS silly thread, that way you must not follow my birthday thread, which now must go dormant. Today was GAIL's birthday, and tomorrow, young Jenn's. (and BTW her mother's death still hasn't hit her :huh: - I worry for the day it will)

OMG wonder what Emily is doing for/at the vet's office for.....um........services rendered.

:P

I want a Christmas tree, and a cat to attack it. Just so NOT Christmas-y without those two things. I didn't even get teh dingos a tree, again, remember, I am a white trash hag mother. :ph34r: my old Cookster Kitty went WILD on Christmas morning, every single year of her 14-year-old life...........ran through the room like a bullet all morning long, in and out of boxes/wrapping paper/ under the tree - - wild-eyed Christmas cat. Very, very cute. :lol:

Um, should I post an avatar of my dead cat? would that be weird? :huh:

:lol:

tom Contributor
Is this yeti-sized confetti? Yeti-shaped confetti? Confetti made from mummified yeti? A Sue-Dough-Nim for yeti skat?

Sue-Dough-Nim! :lol:

Yes, well, but sometimes I venture out into OTHER threads....risky as it is......and then ....... people might start asking me about my GORGEOUS big furry cat.........and then I'd have to say......well, she's dead actually.

I think that is weird.

Well....the bill wasn't quite as heinous as I had been anticipating. Still abhorrent, especially at this time of year. So, my husband is getting receding poodle gums for Christmas. He's got his own, I've got mine, now he can have Gus's. We're the Family of Recession (now that's a band name...). Or perhaps the Family in Recession. Yes, much better. These questionable prepositions--today was a day that I had SO much up with which I found myself putting... :(:rolleyes:

ah, yes, somehow I keep forgetting about the Chicken Butt Cooties. :lol:

OMG - in teh background just now - a commercial - I don't know WHAT FOR :lol :lol: :lol: (had to do it Emily) and they were discussing the side effects..............and the guy says "if you develop severe abdominal pain and severe (? not the right word) vomiting, then _____ may not be right for you......."

YA THINK???????????????????????????

<_<

I always love the lurvely drugs that are promoted - with life-threatening side effects......

OMG Emily - we'll all have receding gums for Christmas!!!!!! :rolleyes: Sorry there was so much up wtih which you had to put today. Here's a harrumph for you. These veterinarians......Nikki's right about the auto mechanic/veterinarian similarities......good gawd.

:angry:

How big are these little people? Could they perhaps live in the bathroom cabinet under the sink? Under the bed? I think a drawer would be far too small. Could you give them a wee bit of room in the guest room closet?

or else - I could just SAY right in my avatar: "My Dead Cat."

Not to deter anyone from future captioning that's "funny, in a sick way", but another response could be "oh I loved her so!".

:P

:lol:

If those little people are scaleable, I might even have room for some!!

If I promise not to light a fire, do they mind sooty walls?

NO, NO.........T'was wayyyy back (don't do it! :o ) during King Richard's reign.....I think it was

Um, should I post an avatar of my dead cat? would that be weird? :huh:

Ummmm, *screwing up face*....it kind of depends what stage of decomposition she was at :huh:

Susie finds this funny, in a sick way.

A certain amount of sick b@st@~d humoUr is required for this thread I've always thought :blink:

OMG YES Janet!!!

You are right!!!

Susie shall have some little people in the guest room wardrobe closet!!!!! :D

If I promise not to light a fire, do they mind sooty walls?

I dunno Tom :unsure: it would make them awfully nervous - their people were forced into cleaning chimneys many a year ago - and the soot is not good (a few are asthmatic :( )

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

So everyone, where is the Yeti going next?

elye Community Regular

And a good, recessive morning to ALL!

Okay, need a word clarification, here:

If those little people are scaleable, I might even have room for some!!

Those infamous little people...able to be scaled? :huh: I need to know the nature of these beings. They have scales? And one would remove them for cosmetic reasons, I should think. You're not planning on consuming them, Tom? Pan-fried with a bit of lemon and dill? :o (Green guy)...'tis another reason to....scale something.

Or perhaps you're wondering if they are scaleable as, for example, Mount Everest is, for a chosen few. I should think that these little guys are NOT scaleable in this manner, and attempting it would kill them.

Not to deter anyone from future captioning that's "funny, in a sick way", but another response could be "oh I loved her so!".

Nah....I MUCH prefer the "This is my dead cat" profile info. Susie, do it. Dunno how many newbies will be reading your posts, though. :lol::lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor

If we can "scale" that Yeti down, maybe he can come by our house for a couple days!

In fact, scale him down far enough, and I'll hang him on the tree next to the Bumble ornament! :o:lol:

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

That sounds like fun, he may like NC. He is going to be Americanized before he gets back across the pond :)

Ridgewalker Contributor

BTW--- I am TOTALLY having a dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards hair day today!!!

Over the weekend, though I decided to do a little mini-makeover. I trimmed my hair, did a pore cleaning mask, and colored my hair (natural brown... it had turned a little brassy at the ends.)

So Sunday morning, I fixed my hair and got ready for Mass, and came out into the living room... and Lucas said, "Mommy you look beautiful! And YOUNGER!"

:o:huh::lol:

He got major brownie points that day...

Ridgewalker Contributor

Oh yeah, he'll come back to Nikki asking her to pull his finger... asking if he can borrow a couple bucks... if he stays in NC long, he'll be wanting grits and gravy for breakfast... and he'll greet her with, "Hey Ya'll! I had a good ole time over yonder!"

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

At our house we say pop instead of soda...He can take that back and he did start to root for the NY Giants with John so he may have picked up rthe habit of yelling at the TV!

*GASP*

Uh Oh, he's become a fan of American Football!!! That's not going to go over well at all.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

LOL---I love John but I hate when football is on...He gets loud and acts dumb, boys will be boys I guess!

Yes!! I've seen that one! :ph34r:

Or do most of them say that?

P.S.

I'm starting to wonder if I'll have an uninterrupted reign. Richard's been AWOL awhile.

I meant to clarify during the .. . .which is it? Inauguration? Coronation? .. . .uhh anyway I accept that I have to step down on any day King Richard posts. I can be Prince or Lord or even a serf!! (Murph the Serf, of course)

      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?
    • 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.
