Hey, Sarah was lurking last night, but no appearance...SARAHHHHH....

Please visit, and we will make a verb out of you. ;)

:o why you silly, saucy minx, I would nevah - WE would nevah - skim over and ignore you. :huh: You're even the phunniest, maddest one WITH YER LYME BRAIN and no sodium in your body!!!!!!!!!!

I second this...How you can remain so amusing, Bev, while feeling so sh!tty, is remarkable. Madame Silliest!....

There is a main cabin, two smaller sleeping cabins, a cook shed, an adobe pit cooking area, and an outhouse on 60 acres tucked well away into the mountains.....

Susie!! It truly does sound tranquil and magnificent... :):)

OMG!!! You MUST meet up with Ptaum! Now that will be an av-worthy moment...

No one PLAAAAAAAAANS these things. Pffft :rolleyes:

(And btw .. . .. I took Janet's comment to be w/ our Dingo on the OTHER side of the camera)

I don't care who it is. . . :lol::lol:

Grandparents' cottage on Lake Michigan had an outhouse. As a little kid it was SO scary to go at night!

Great grandma's house didn't have an indoor bathroom until the 70's sometime. (Outhouse had wasp nests which is what creeped me out!!) She fell taking her garbage out (she was still living by herself and she was in her 90's) and broke her hip. While she was in the hospital, her children had a bathroom installed . . . toilet and shower. Grandma was pi$$ed . . . said they ruined her house.

so as the battle for space heats up in our office, my cubie mate has come up with a great space saving idea which will get us into a small office, but an office nevertheless, we will have a door! It is a very good idea :):) Keep your fingers crossed as we have our room battle!

Good Friday morning, all.

Well, I don't need to worry about my name being turned into a verb. That happened long ago. But it seems to have limited scope. I mean, the supply of something can weaken or disappear as it peters out. But I have never heard of anything petering in. :angry:

More snow is coming this afternoon and through tomorrow, but the total amount predicted seems to be getting less as the storm gets closer. Still, eight inches is a lot added to what is already on the ground.

With the winter we had so far, my husband would go nuts to get just 8 inches of snow here.

OMG - the av photo - - okay - so we'll just give any old curmudgeon we find in the hills some o' the phaerie - take HIS photo in the outhouse (i've been informed that the outhouse is completely fetid and rank and so will NEVER be going hear it - pooping and peeing freely in the wilderness, thank you.... :blink: )

your great grandma's bathroom - ruined the house :lol: Nutty!

MORNING SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amanda - a closed door, you say? MORE TIME FOR SILLYVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Peter :)

How's our Patti today?

OMG - DingoBrain has SOOOOOOOOO much to do today to be ready to leave by 3. Gads.....I'm such a disorganized mess when faced with these things......can someone send Yeti over along w/ Patti's closet organizing lady? I'm sure she can help................. :huh:

*************

okay all - I got permission to copy and paste Sarah's response to me - here it is:

Hey, lady biggrin.gif

Yeah, I'm ok, it's just been kind of a hellacious month. The kids and I have all been pretty sick, one thing after another all overlapping. Then I got badly glutened by some generic sinus medicine... like the debilitating, vomitting-like-Linda-Blair type. It actually shocked me, that it got me so bad.

The kids have been cranky and tired... Plus, my husband works like 14 hours a day, then comes home and works on the computer for a couple more hours, sooo...

Every once in awhile I've found myself slumped on the couch, staring at my train wreck of a house, thinking "Will it ever end???"

We're all slowly, but surely getting better now. This has actually been the 1st time Luke's gotten sick since last spring. I think that going gluten-free really helped boost his immune system over the summer. I'm hoping that's what it does for Ezra this summer.

But now that we're getting better, I've been catching up on household stuff, paperwork, phone calls, errands... all that crap I procrastinate with even under the best of conditions! laugh.gif Which reminds me, I have to make an appointment for Ezra's kindergarten screening! ohmy.gif Already...

But yeah, if you could update the sillies for me, that'd be great. I've been missing you all like crazy! And thanks for your email! Mine's ridgewalker@wavingalien.com

Love and hugs,

Sarah

:lol: Yep...sounds good. Her name verbalizes very well....I've Sarahed a few times today, as I've been too busy to post...

Good one, Amanda! Cubicles are yucky.

We're getting about 40 centimetres in the Ottawa valley--15 inches. :huh::wacko::wacko:

Ah, well....great skiing ahead! (If we can get through to the hill!)....

she's right, you know. You had better check. May have to sing a release to get cowbell for the weekend.........and dear gawd, what if some sort of cowbell emergency arises in this man's basement? and you've got the bell and the thingy? what then? :huh:

???? I thought you hated musicals!

We need to be more inventive on this thread, right now the newbies are only petering in; we need to aim for a tidal wave.

Susie,

Thanks for the update on Sarah. Poor thing--I knew she was ill, but didn't realize how heinous it all had gotten for them. Glad to hear things are finally turning around.

BTW, Missy, I loved your piano story! :D So very touching--yes, I do believe you are a woman who knows when something (or someone) is "right". ;)

I need to get my sillie back....I wanna play with all of you, but still so tired :D I'm here reading, though, chortling and chuckling :P Bah--I'm boring myself now :lol:

I know exciting!!! And our way of feeling somewhat accomplished!

:Good one, Amanda! Cubicles are yucky.

Ours aren't too bad since it is just me and her in our own little area but we sit next to our makeshift kitchen, and we have the fax distraction and people walking in and out. If all works out the change will take place next week or so. We have a new nurse starting the 18th and at the moment no where for her to sit so this change will be happening real soon!

How are you Patti? Flu still kicking your butt?

Sarah how are you!!!!!

Emily I will go skiing with you!!! I love fresh snow too, got room for me in your home?

GAD - everyone's going away this weekend.....except moi of course.......

:lol: BUT HEY!!!! EXCELLENT plan, I have signed up for Airmiles (I will gain miles through grocery shopping at Tesco AND ebay)

OMGAWD!!!! EBAY??? TESCO????? Loads of points miles.

Yep, don't book the wedding just yet Susie!!! :lol: .......should have enough points to get a (one way :lol: ) ticket to somewhere in the Americas in around 2010 :lol::lol:

Glad our former Queen Sarah is still alive :) .....gawd, I remember how tough life can be when the kids are little :rolleyes: {{{hugs}}} to Sarah

Great grandma's house didn't have an indoor bathroom until the 70's sometime. (Outhouse had wasp nests which is what creeped me out!!) She fell taking her garbage out (she was still living by herself and she was in her 90's) and broke her hip. While she was in the hospital, her children had a bathroom installed . . . toilet and shower. Grandma was pi$$ed . . . said they ruined her house.

Well now, I grew up in a Victorian house (Mum + Dad still there)......they didn't build them with bathrooms :rolleyes: and the loo was outside.....gosh!, it were like a Dickensian childhood ;)

When I was about 10 yrs old we had a shower fitted in my brother's bedroom :rolleyes: (t'was a strip wash in the kitchen before the shower OR a trip to my Nan's house who actually had a bathroom)

...and finally a year ago my Dad finally agreed to have a toilet fitted indoors as my Mum threatened him that if she trod on one more slug/snail/hedgehog in the pitch black darkness she would have another heart attack!!!!! :lol: (my Dad = resistant to change)

Well, I don't need to worry about my name being turned into a verb. That happened long ago. But it seems to have limited scope. I mean, the supply of something can weaken or disappear as it peters out. But I have never heard of anything petering in. :angry:

Oh for Pete's sake!!....not MORE snow?!?!

Susie, Kissey AND any old curmudgeon they find in the hills some o' the phaerie :lol: .......MUST see that photo!!!!!! :lol:

Right......off to Ebay.....spend some money earn some airmiles :lol:

BTW Patti - I note in your av you have wooden slats for your window blind (as do I) and as you are such a neatnik I wondered what's your secret to cleaning them???

They really are dust magnets <_< ....I love the way they look--but cleaning them is a darn (sorry Janet) chore. I quickly vaccum with the attachment, and then go over them with a Pledge Dust/Allergen dry dust cloth once in a while. I love those cloths--do you have those in England?--no polish or anything is needed -- the dust just sticks to them.

Yes! Yes! I was thinking along these lines before I got to your post.

Thank you for the update on Que Sarah Sarah- she's been really taking it in the pants this winter :(

Oh...before I bev myself, Kurt found a VERY funny website. Here's Open Original Shared Link

Has anyone seen Julie (besides in my avatar with Gene Simmons)?

I mean, the supply of something can weaken or disappear as it peters out. But I have never heard of anything petering in. :angry:

Well, I think my brain is petering back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh, I forgot--I wanna be a verb, too :unsure::PB)

Well, now we can't ALL be verbs can we? We do need other parts of speech to have a language here. :P Although I do think Patti'd (taken by surprise, caught off guard by a funny comment) is excellent!!!!

I don't know why but this made me laugh! I've never thought of Nova Scotia as sounding exotic :lol:. It is very nice though except some places have a very strong fish stench.

You may have all seen this before (maybe someone's already posted it here) but my dad sent it to me and I thought it was totally amazing: Open Original Shared Link

Another not so good night sleep last night (only got about three hours :angry:) . I think I may start losing my mind from lack of sleep. Saw my doc today for an unrelated reason and told her about the sleep problem. Apparently I have a bit of a fever and have lost some weight so she decided to do a thyroid test to make sure its not too high since that could cause the fever/weight loss/insomnia. I think the weight loss is just from the virus I had a few weeks a go but the fever and insomnia I'm not sure. We shall see. Hopefully it clears up on its own. I got some Gravol for tonight so hopefully that will help!

I hope everyone has fun on their trips!!! :D

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️
