Hey Susie:

I am with you, just haven't found that special someone again, or yet, or whatever it's supposed to be. Now the kids are grown and gone, but hey I just got a puppy and she makes me heart sing! She is a cross between a toy poodle and s$#&zu, in other words a little mutt! :lol:

Anyway, I have a job outside of the house, of course with my job I don't actually meet men I would want to take home that don't bore me or gross me out.

Oh, I went on a date with a man from the State but after a few minutes I got the feeling that he was married, just a hunch, asked me back to his hotel, told him he took the wrong girl to the party for that <_<

Well the secret to our martial bliss so far has been he has been ill, so you can't really get upset with a sick man LOL!

Actually, for as different as we are we have a few similarities that keep us in check.

Um, I'm just wondering if I"ll ever meet anyone AGAIN that doesn't............bore me, suck the life out of me, or......gross me out....... :blink: Might require me getting a job out of the house? Gads..........................

Susie...Can't believe you're saying this, because I absolutely have the man for you, and I often think how unfortunate it is that there's no way to get you guys together. He is, I'm not kidding, the best catch I know of. Okay, he's my brother, but I can objectively say these things. I chatted with him last night, and honestly thought, "Yep. He and Susie..." Alas! :(

Oh Em ... ..did you give a good hard look at the [bACK] button? Isn't there something along the right edge?

Both IE & Firefox have the triangle.

I don't see it as paranormal, but if that helps I'll play along!! :rolleyes:

(Is it possible you use a version so old it predates backbutton2.0?)

Yeah, I have that triangle. I was waxing surreal there, and wishing for a big one that I could press when, for example, I walk into a large cocktail party with said dress tucked into my underwear....just wanna go back a couple of pages, quickly, now and then!

Now that word's out about my status as 'very starving artist', I must relay my funniest of art student tales.

As a second-year fine art student, I stood one day in our life drawing class, looking over our model whom we needed to depict in a thirty-minute composition. He was about thirty, nice looking, and of course, naked.

Off I went, sketching out a gesture drawing, then beginning to fill in detail. I remember concentrating on his shoulder area. I suddenly glanced down, and an area that I had sketched in had suddenly...changed. The lines and shape were quite...different....So, without looking him in the eye, I erased this area and continued.

A moment later, I glanced back. Changed again! Back to what I had originally depicted. So I erased the...area...and drew again. Became quite enthralled with his chest, as he had defined pecs. Spent time there, then back...Changed again! Began erasing furiously.

So, my final drawing had nothing but a huge smudge mark from constant erasing in this area (paper almost torn). Long story longer, my prof later claimed it was one of the most powerful visual statements he had yet seen on human sexuality, and how clever I was to take the opportunity to make it with this drawing. "It's all only a smudge mark, isn't it, Ms. Lye?" Gahhhhhhh.....

I need a rewind button, or a back arrow, or a magic little triangle to take me back in time. Often, I could use this...(rubbing chin)..

I'll put him up in my av...gotta find a shot of him. You can tell me what you think. Unfortunately, Brett is very far from California...Toronto to L.A. is just over 3500 km (2100 miles), and I forget where you are in CA. But cyber-flirting is always a great thing... ;):)

Ahhh, puke . . . that is gross. I used to watch Unsolved Mysteries and there was an episode where something similar happened and it freaked me out! Nightmares for weeks. My mom didn't let me watch that show anymore after that . . . but I secretly did anyway!!

I had the interview from hell today with Mr. Fathead Jerk and I sure would have liked to have given him a little spritz of hydrochloric acid. :P Not really of course!

Fortunately Mr. Fathead was only in my life for today. I graduated last year and promptly got sick with Celiac and then diabetes so I am just starting to look for employment now. Mr. Fathead found it preposterous that I had waited over a year to look for employment and didn't think that kind of "lack of initiative" was something he would want in an employee! He wasn't getting the whole I've been quite ill explanation and I didn't like getting into the specifics of being tied to the bathroom, etc. etc.

So he earned the name Mr. Fathead Jerk from me although I was using some other choice expletives when explaining him to my fiance. I think I should count myself lucky that I will not be working for him.

MMMMMmmmmmm, Amaretto . . . it's been a day from hell . . . I'm gonna go get me some of dat!

Alex - definitely better off without Mr Jerk. It's as much an interview to determine if you would want to work there as it is for them deciding if they would want to hire you. Apparently, they failed miserably at their interview!!

Just noticed - there's no post button . . . I'm gonna hit this rectangle where it sorta usta be and see if that works.

      Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies. I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG. I hope you will share the results with us.

      Welcome to the forum, @ellyelly! How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy? Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand. This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels, reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal). ...

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12? B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly. Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing. Are you on any medication for your Gerd? Here...

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies.  I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG.  I hope you will share the results with us.  If your body isn't making a large amount of antibodies, then the intestinal damage would be less as well.  The antibodies attacking our own cells is what causes the damage. Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies besides the ferritin?  Several vitamins and minerals are needed to correct iron deficiency.  Have you been taking any vitamin supplements? Positive on the genes, I see.  Increases the likelihood...  Good job on ramping up on gluten for the test!

      Thanks so much for the link and for your thoughts! I have been on a gluten - containing diet and ramped up my intake in the couple of weeks leading up to the endoscopy, so I’m hopeful that the biopsy is painting an accurate picture.    I don’t quite understand what else might be causing the lymphocytosis and the inflammatory cells/ clusters of plasma cells and struggled to get clarity from the specialist. Perhaps this is common and nothing to be concerned about?!   In case relevant, my mother sister are both celiac, and I have the genes: HLA-DQA1*05:01 = Heterozygous HLA-DQB1*02:01 = Heterozygous Thanks again!

How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy?  Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand.  This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels,  reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal).   If you weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten per day in a minimum of two weeks prior to the endoscopy, you may want to do another gluten challenge with repeat endoscopy. Here's an article that explains, be sure to read the comments.

      Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.  I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results (completed post-endoscopy to provide another piece of the puzzle, I think was just an accidental oversight not doing earlier).  The endoscopy results are as follows: Gastroscopy:  Stomach: Mild gastritis and one 4mm benign appearing inflammatory polyp in the body.  Duodenum: Largely normal but few shallow erosions seen in the duodenal bulb. Microscopy:  1. Sections show specialised and non-specialised gastric mucosa with increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells within the lamina propria including occasional clusters of plasma cells amounting to mild chronic inflammation. No active inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or malignancy is seen. Immunostains for Helicobacter organisms are negative. 2. Sections show small bowel mucosa with normal villous architecture. A mild non-specific intra-epithelial lymphocytosis is noted at the villous tips of uncertain clinical significance. The lamina propria contains a normal population of chronic inflammatory cells. No granulomas or parasites are seen. There is no dysplasia or malignancy. Conclusion 1. Gastric: Mild chronic inflammation 2. Duodemum: Mild non-specific intraepithelial lymphocytosis with preserved villous architecture.  The GI specialist, assuming blood tests come back normal, feels it is unlikely that it is celiac given the normal villous architecture. Suggested continuing on as usual and monitoring for symptoms etc, screening with blood test if required in the future.  Worth a second opinion or does this seem accurate? Anything else I should be considering? I feel a little lost as to how to best proceed! Thanks again.
