I can't tell you where I met him yet, but it was last summer......and you guys will die.

....desparately trying to think back to last summer..... :huh: Don't keep us hanging too long on this one..... :P

My grandma used to call her umbrella this...but she said BUMBERSHOOT. We'll have to confer with Nikki, as I vaguely remember it being an English expression.....

Yep--you all are right on the spelling--I just wrote what I remembered her saying. ;)

...omG the sudden panic when realizing the tub had been 'filling' for 20-30min!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily the bathroom floor is a bit concave. Maybe 70% of the floor had an inch to inch & a half of water.

Coincidence...I think not :)

So......I think they've gone from thinking I'm a lesbian now (Gail and Jenn have sleepovers here to get out of their various oppressive housing states) to just a plain old SLUT :blink::lol:

Ha--way to keep 'em guessing :lol:

Well we just got back from the Hospital and she is sooo cute! Lydia that is. She has a head full of dark brown hair. I love her.

She sounds adorable! :D

I JUST this very second.........after ALL THIS TIME...........just this VERY millisecond looked at Janet's user name - which I've always pronounced and seen as "Darn two-ten."

and JUST this minute........I realized that it's "darn tootin" and I am the biggest loser lame-brain that there is.

Not the biggest loser--I never got it till now either :ph34r:

Gah!!! :lol: there's no K in that word!!!! I must speak up lest all of Sillyville adopts it erroneously! (You already got Julie!)

The site has Skijoring, but I've heard of it as both Skijourning & Skijorning before.

Tom, do you not realized that the mispelled words, or typos, make the phunniest of words in the Vortex, crikeys the OMG thread has an entire dictionary of made up words.

I like Skijorking much better, that extra "k" gives it a little extra something. :D

Julie- I've been thinking this for awhile- I think we're related :P:D I love being an auntie too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister and BIL and FIL all refer to me as Auntie Mame....they were all over Sunday for Kurt';s birthday and somehow I went from sitting on the couch with the adults to upstairs judging the booty shaking competition on my bed with four kids. (ROLL EYES) (ROLL EYES)

Do they call you Auntie Bev too? I'm Auntie Julie :D

I think we are related, must be our childhood enthusiasm.......er immaturity?? :huh:

A friend of mine called me the kid whisperer, because they just flock to me. I guess I speak their language and apparently so do you Auntie Mame :lol::lol::lol:

I have nothing to say, I just wanted to be # 10,000 to reply to this topic!! :D:lol::D:P

SO glad you jumped in misdiagnosed, you missed it by that much!!

Is this your first niece/nephew Amanda?

and JUST this minute........I realized that it's "darn tootin" and I am the biggest loser lame-brain that there is.

This fact escaped me too, I hadn't picked up on that until you brought it up :ph34r:

Janet, such a clever girl :lol:

Hmmm, this throws a little curve in trying to figure out your last name.....you said it was a play on your last name......

Darn Tootin?

Darn Right?

You are correct sir?

Tom's bath flood coinciding with the 2000 post???........yes, it's only after the event you piece it all together......

2,000 posts....These things happen.

PEOPLE!!!!!! The rollover of the MSD (most significant digit) (or for the math-impaired, the two) can and will happen NUMerous times.

The matched 1999 is a singu-frrrrreakin-larity!!!!!!

(I'm afraid that'll be TRULY understood only by Janet, Jess & and mathletic kibbitzers)

The flood was yesterday, on 1999.

Today's 2000 has been uneventful thus far.

Well ok, I did almost get a drop of yolk on my fav sweater an hour ago.

I sh*t myself when I farted and I\'m worried it will eat through the chair!

*snort*

:lol:

I'm glad it wasn't old hat to y'all.

When I read through it I had tears not halfway thru & and it just builds & builds.

Still, the I need to wipe my ass w/ a snowcone is my fav sentence, but the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Tom! the fluids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink: dear gawd, man, drink more of the phaerie! gitcher paints out! cut off your ear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now why didn't I think of that??

Commencing a small tipple.

Oh! Misdiagnosed.....ya missed it by ONE! But you can still stick around. I mean, you don't simply lurk around on threads, just waiting for big numbers to come up, now...do you? :huh::lol: Have you heard of the Yukon Quest? How do you feel about Susie finding new love? Do Tootsie Rolls ever get lodged up your nose?

Well, without restarting the debate about when the third millennium began, the claim was to the be 10,000th reply, not the 10,000th post. The second post is the first reply, and so forth.

And to the dogs I go.

Mackey left Braeburn just 19 minutes ahead of Anderson. Both had the obligatory eight hours of rest there. One hundred miles to go for them. Third place is up for grabs. Brent Sass blew through Carmacks without resting. Michelle and David Dalton left about four hours later, five minutes apart, after resting.

Go, Michelle!!

Actually my second niece. My own sister gave birth to a baby girl last April. In June, John's sister announced she was pregnant too. Although, I hope by saying this no one judges me....both John and I were both a little upset by both of the births....neither is married or has their life together both young...John and I are married and trying and having difficulties along the way.....We were both very happy on the days of arrival for both babies but the first few weeks after the annoucement it was rough for us....please dont judge me...

Mygawd......you guys are really ON today......just had SEVERAL snorting guffaws over the last two pages.....good thing I wasn't sipping absinthe as it woulda gone through my nose and I do not think that would feel right.......

TOM - - your av :lol: :lol: :lol: TELL ME that was a pose......he did NOT pass out near the toilet.......good gawd.............

....desparately trying to think back to last summer..... Don't keep us hanging too long on this one.....

:unsure: I am a little askeert.......was never goign to mention a boy again to not just my sillies, but to my Real Life Peeps until it was a.......... "done deal" pretty much. But I am goign to burst........and of course, all my peeps wanted to know where I was on this three-day weekend..............

we must all PRAY for continued blessings from above. This one's a KEEPER, there is no question in my mind. He was actually - - if I may be so bold in saying this - CUSTOM-MADE for me by God.

But I'm even MORE askeert that he just bought a motorcycle. :( I am terrified of them, and now am filled with worry when he drives it......we MUST say collective silly prayers and ask that it be........stolen? flooded out w/ someone's numerically-significant post and washed away? or......that he just gets a huge and compelling urge to sell it (he says he'll use it for the summer and be done). This is too much worry for Dingy....... :huh:

Oh my, all of this activity when I'm temporarily down for the count. So much has happened while I was sleeping. Very lovely and exciting Susie. If anyone deserves this happy development, you do. We are all cheering you on! :D

We were both very happy on the days of arrival for both babies but the first few weeks after the annoucement it was rough for us....please dont judge me...

I think your reaction is very natural and completely understandable. I believe I would have the exact same feelings if I were in your position. I sincerely hope that you two are next! What a lucky baby that will be to have the two of you.

I think I may have pink eye. It's all goopy and running and red. I am a basket of bacteria! Good thing Ryan has a superhuman immune system. In the last year I've been coughing, sneezing, puking, excessively pooping ( :ph34r: ) in vicinity and nary an illness on his part. All my immune system does is attack my intestine and pancreas - I'm jealous :P ! Lets hope any kids we have inherit his smart immune system and not my confused one.

I showed Ryan the Yukon Quest website and he's gotten very into it as well. He's been given me updates and reminiscing about his childhood trip to the Yukon.

Hi Alex! Hi Laura! hi Judy!

This reminds me of an actual true story . . . I guy that I worked with was living with his girlfriend. She apparently made some screaming hot chili. I don't know if he loved it that way or was afraid of hurting her feelings . . . so he apparently ate a lot of it. Later that night, he sat on the toilet with his insides screaming for mercy. Apparently he passed out from the pain, fell off of the toilet, his private parts were caught on the seat as he fell . . . and lacerated his manliness. He had to go to the emergency room for stitches.

If this is true...ow ow ow :(

I have nothing to say, I just wanted to be # 10,000 to reply to this topic!! :D:lol::D:P

(almost) NICELY done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Hey! What's fluttering through Stepford's li'l mind at this point?...."Heavens...look at what debauchery is going on over there now....No more pop-ins from me, guaranteed...and no more dog-sitting at THAT slutty thing's place!" :o:lol:

That's because she found this video of Open Original Shared LinkMOO HOO AH HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. . . you're a SLUT EXTRAODINAIRE!!!

But NOT, I repeat NOT, a skank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Skijorking much better, that extra "k" gives it a little extra something. :D

Do they call you Auntie Bev too? I'm Auntie Julie :D

I think we are related, must be our childhood enthusiasm.......er immaturity?? :huh:

Hell Yeah?

Me too...I like pronouncing it SKI-YORKING which I suppose gives the image of a bunch of yorkies skiing :lol: :lol:

My niece just started school this year and yesterday she insisted on calling me Miss Auntie Bev :lol:

Immaturity-YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everytime I see Janet, I want to yell "Damn it Janet, I love you!" What is that from? It's driving me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH!!! Btw .. .new av is roomie on absinthe night :lol:

No......no weigh :P

What's to judge, Amanda? It's only human to have those feelings :)

Absolutely!

Go MICHELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Welcome, @Morgan Tiernan, The best thing to clear my dermatitis herpetiformis is to take Niacin, Vitamin B 3, the form called nicotine acid, the kind that causes flushing of the skin.  Flushing Niacin clears my skin quickly.   Yes, the flushing might seem really strange, but it opens the tiny capillaries in the surface of the skin which helps remove the antibodies that gather in those pustules.  The flushing lessens the longer Niacin is taken, but still works at keeping the blisters away.   Be sure to take a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamin , Vitamin B 1.  Covid, shingles and other infections like strep throat deplete our Thiamine quickly.  Having frequent infections can indicate low Thiamine.  We have a higher metabolic demand during infections, physical trauma or surgery, emotional and mental stress, and while physically active like dancing.    Thiamine has anti-virus and antibacterial properties.  The eight essential B vitamins work together.  Taking Benfotiamine in addition to the B Complex is safe and nontoxic.  Excess B vitamins are easily excreted because they are water soluble.  New Celiacs are often low in vitamins and minerals due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D can help calm the immune system.  Following a low histamine Paleo diet , like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sara Ballantyne, a Celiac herself, is also very helpful.  Steroids lower histamine, but the low histamine AIP diet is safer.   This research may be old, but Flushing Niacin does work!!! Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/ P.S. Wearing natural fibers helps my dermatitis herpetiformis.  Synthetic fibers keep sweat next to the skin, causing further irritation.  Natural fibers wick moisture away, keeping skin dry and exfoliated.
    • Morgan Tiernan
      Hey @Rogol72! thanks for your very helpful response. Those videos are great and super educating! I’ve forwarded them to my family members too as often it can be very difficult to explain to those around you just what you’re going through. Though, I’m fortunate that they’re super supportive and keen to help me get to the bottom of the problem. Interesting how you mentioned soaps and shower gels irritating too! Is it better to rinse off the sweat straight after exercising just with some cool water? Additionally, is minimising soap in those areas during showering helpful too? Or is there a particular soap that may be helpful! I have some more questions about dapsone too, if you don’t mind me asking. As mentioned in my response to Trents, I take prednisolone for when I am glutened or when my symptoms become too unbearable. With oral steroids it’s usually a 4 week dose as I have to reduce my dose to slowly come off them. How long can you take dapsone for? Can it impact your immune system in the same way as oral steroids (I have to be super careful I don’t pick up any infections whilst on my steroids as my immune system is compromised.) Yes, I’m from South Wales in the UK. Though my grandfather is Irish, explaining my surname (very well spotted!)
    • Morgan Tiernan
      Hi Trents, thank you so much for your help and support. Yes it’s not ideal from my surgery practice. This is just one of the many problems I have experienced with them, we’ve had to pay to go to a private consultant now instead (I’m from South Wales in the UK, spot on about the spelling of “coeliac”! I completely forgot there was another way of spelling it around the world!) The dermatologist I have been seeing over the last few months has been amazing. And thank goodness for places like google and forums like these, I don’t think I would’ve ever thought it could be gluten! Interesting about the iodine. I’ll definitely start to limit this out of my diet. It makes sense as the places of irritation are places I sweat or pressure points (wrists, waist etc.) Dapsone was mentioned in my last appointment also. He’s reluctant to put me on it just yet, probably just until this biopsy is done so we can confirm for definite. At the moment I’m being put on prednisolone (oral steroids) every time I either become glutened or my symptoms reach an ultimate. I think he’s said if I need to be in them for any more than 3 times a year, dapsone will be more considered. I’m keen to go on it as every time I come off the prednisolone I can see the blisters creeping back. I’ve got loads that have burst on my hairline. I also start to get flaky/peeling skin as well which I’m not sure is related?    As well as limiting iodine, is there anything else that might help irritation with sweat? Is it better to wear more loose fitted clothing? Can I apply something to stop the irritation of sweat whilst i’m exercising?    Thanks for all your help so far! I will keep you all updated on my journey! 
    • Lynnard
      Thank you - that makes perfect sense and I understand. celiac disease is an autoimmune disease which will cause further damage while gluten sensitivity is different. Based on my symptoms and bloodwork, I am almost certain I have celiac disease.  I kind of hate to hope for a positive biopsy but a negative one would be frustrating for sure. Regardless, I have done a lot of research on gluten-free diet and am prepared to begin a new lifestyle journey - with a lot of questions along the way.  I appreciate your information and advice!
