Mornin' Sillies!

I just read The Rainbow Bridge again this morning, and wept anew...what a beautiful piece. I think I am now looking at my animals a little differently...a little longer, perhaps, with my heart swelling a little more. :wub:

On to Silliness!...I'm afraid my silly well is dry at present...anyone? :)

Got this from my sister this morning

Cute

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a new preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God?!"

The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time."

"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"

Huge hugs to you and Annie, Susie. Last year I lost my 13 year old cat who had seen me through a lot of major changes in my life. Sometimes our pets are more than our best friends. They hold our hearts for us.

I, for one, don't think Celiacs should ever have to succumb to a stomach virus <_< --I mean, come on, we get enough of that just trying to live life!!! <_<

Queen Jess--can you proclaim this?

OK

I hereby proclaim that NO SillyYaks (or SillyYeti) will be allowed to indulge in stomach viruses. We already take more than our fair share of toilet time and to take advantage of helpless viruses in order to claim MORE toilet time is just seditious.

And as long as we now have a non-posting advocate:

Tika, I know you have a lot to do with getting settled and all, but I would appreciate it if you would have a word with everyone's pets and inform them that there are to be NO MORE ILL HEALTH ISSUES amongst the furred. We have had enough goo to clean up to last us the rest of the year.

I expect complete compliance by all

Hi Susie,

Good morning after your long winter's nap :D So glad to hear you two girls are feeling better today.

Yeah--Richard....I used to see him reading once in a while, but I think maybe he's left us for good :huh:

AND

In honor of the Tikster everyone will have to use the letter 'R' excessively for the rest of the day.

from wikipedia:

Open Original Shared Link

Dog's Letter

The letter R is sometimes referred to as the dog's letter. This phrase has Latin origins, the Latin R was trilled so it sounds like a snarling dog. A good example of a trilling R is the Spanish word for dog: perro. [2]

I even pmed Richard a few weeks ago just to say hi. Never got a response. He has went MIA since my honeymoon. Maybe I scared him when I went to Rochester for the honeymoon....I cannot keep friends :) I scare them away.

Someone as sweet as you? I don't believe that for a minute :D

I'm sure Richard just got very busy with his new job, and got out of the habit of checking in on the board ;)

Can you rumage up Richard?

I was thinking of Richard with the passing of our Stinker, and the FABULOUS avatar he pimped of her flying through the air with a Superman cape billowing behind her. Susie, you should put it up again. I want to see this super girl again!

P.S LOVE Gus's new haircut!!!!!!! (takes years off him! :D ) ......frankly I love the sub-standard look with curly tail!!!!!!

It is quite a ridiculous, and yet adorable tail. Very hilarious when he tries to wag it, as it doesn't swish...too tight a curl. It just quivers and his bum goes--very cute, perhaps, in a little pug, but just pathetic with an eighty-pounder... :lol:

Sometimes our pets are more than our best friends. They hold our hearts for us.

OMG...Jess...you are making me tear up again...

Very good...we have a royal edict from our Queen. All Hail!

I was wondering, speaking of our Yeti, if he should perhaps spend a little time at Susie's. I realize that no one will ever take Tika's place, but he would be an enormous furry beast that would be there for a hug, or to take a couple of punches if grieving anger sets in, or just to clean up the house, so Susie can rest. Susie, do you have a hockey bag? Let him take care of it. OH! very important....roll up any carpets if he's coming. :lol::lol:

BTW...Went to bed last night, and spent the hour before I drifted off choking back full-blown laughter, thinking about simultaneous naked Sillyville posting. .. .. ..

...I'd still like to know what our names would look like...

:lol: :lol:

Forget it lady, I'm keepin' my pants on!!!

Ohhhhh my . .. .

:(

oh, sweet friends, I have very sad news.....

My beautiful, noble girl is gone. :(

For Tika:

Strength without insolence

Courage without ferocity

And all the Virtues

Of Man without his vices."

:wub:

Ohhhh Susie .. . . .. :(

So very sorry for your loss. :(

Nikki - Rainbow Bridge - beautiful and I'm not ashamed to say I got a little misty.

<but don't tell anyone!>

Susie, I was going to request a tale of Tika. :)

You far exceeded my expectations there. ;)Tonkanese Lizard Stomp :lol: :lol:

And I can just picture you all at Carmel Beach. :)

"Held a job" :lol:

The books! :lol:

She did have a great life and you two were blessed to have each other. <sniff>

Reading about the loss of Tika and the wonderful life she led brought tears to my eyes. :(:(:(

She's not hurting anymore. She had an extraordinary life and human mother.

Keep those wonderful memories and make more memories with Annie.

Hugs coming your way........I know they aren't the same as the real thing, but with the distance they'll have to do. :wub:

I second the notion for the Yeti to pay a very special visit to Susie. I also have gotten her a care package and it contains some great PA wine, and some gluten-free goodies. He can bring it to her doorstep :)

great PA wine,

Is this one of those oxymorons?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      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?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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.
