Susie--You poor thing! What a heinous thing to befall our fair, young lass :o

You take care, and get lots of rest--and some of Bev's drugs wouldn't hurt, either! :P

I can't wait to see the "after picture" once you're up and around again B)

Go Patti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you used heinous, befall, fair and lass in one sentence. I do believe I have died and gone to Ireland! :lol:

Miss SusieQ- So sorry. Wish I could help you about but those drugs are in very short supply! :( And I'm trying so hard not to use them. Today my right arm feels like it's broken- OUCH!!!!!!!!!

OK doggie funnies from my uncle

Ten Peeves that Dogs Have About Humans

1. Blaming your farts on me...not funny.. not funny at all !!!

2 Yelling at me for barking.. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG, YOU IDIOT!

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out

every time we go back!

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9.Dog sweaters ? Hello ???, Haven't you noticed the fur?

10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.

Now lay off me on some of these thing's, We both know who's boss here!!! You don't see me picking up your poop do you ???

All of you well spoken, illustrious folks are a tough act to follow! I'm just trying to keep up :P

Those dog-isms are too funny! I'm thinking Angus is in agreement? :D

I am indeed well aware I'm out of my league here :lol: ..or is it my mind?? :blink:

The HELL u say!!

I was just tossing in a line from the great song I just heard is all. I'd hoped that putting that much space betw 'content' and "lyric" could be a fast'n'dirty substitute for a change in signature.

I guess I gotta take a brit's word for it on 'sod'. But I've run into so many awful errors on wiki that I wish you'd posted just about ANY other source! (Tho sodomite gets a passing mention, I'd thought it euphemistically vulgar beyond the impression on wiki)

:lol: Patti said dog-isms :lol:

I guess I gotta take a brit's word for it on 'sod'. But I've run into so many awful errors on wiki that I wish you'd posted just about ANY other source!

Just for you Torm ( I know, the joke's wearing thin but it makes me LAUGH!!!!)

These are very accurate descriptions:

sod * Noun. 1. A contemptible or objectionable person.

2. A pitiable person. E.g."He's just had his car stolen and his wife has just run off with the milkman, the poor sod." This use is also be found with the expressions 'poor bastard' and 'poor bugger'.

3. A thing or action that is difficult or problematic. E.g. "We had a sod of a journey, getting stuck in a traffic jam at Birmingham for over 3 hours."

* Abb. of the word sodomite

.

sod about / around Verb. To waste time, to idle away time. E.g."My son needs to find himself a job, he's been sodding about playing computer games for the last 6 months and sleeping 15 hours a day."

sod-all Noun. Nothing. E.g."I've done sod-all this vacation, but I still feel like I need a holiday."

Adj. No. E.g."I've done sod-all work this vacation."

sodding Adv./Adj. Used as an intensifier. E.g."It's always that sodding idiot who wakes everyone up at a god awful hour."

sod it! Exclam. A exclamation of contempt or frustration. E.g."Sod-it! I'm giving up."

sod off Verb. Go away, leave. Usually used in the imperative. E.g."If he doesn't sod off in the next 2 minutes I'm going to hit him."

sod this for a game of soldiers ! Exclam. I give up! There's no way that I'm continuing with this. Or sod that for a game of soldiers. Cf. 'sod this for a lark'.

sod this for a lark ! Exclam. I give up! An intolerant, impatient exclamation. Cf. 'sod this for a game of soldiers'.

sod you ! Exclam. General exclamation of dismissal, rejection, hostility.

I just have to pop in to add something, that is rather funny to me.

So, I pop over here and read occassionally, and laugh (of course :)).

All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo.

I just realized today that it was tickle me elbow.

I guess I'm kind of slow sometimes ;)

:lol:

Thanks for the laughter---we all need it!

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Well HELLOO LAURA!!!!!

(...are we recruiting from OMG?? :unsure: )

All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo.

:lol: ....he's so cute and furry :lol: ....go on!! tickle me Elmo!! :lol:

Blame it on the Lyme Brain!!! :rolleyes:

jerseyangel Proficient

Elmo was always my favorite back when Matt used to watch Sesame Street. :rolleyes:

Gosh--that was over 20 years ago :o

AndreaB Contributor

I guess this is the side thread. We don't want to get too silly over on OMG afterall.

Don't know if you guys remember we prolific people were logging in 10-20 pages a day. :o

....*I* can actually visualise you doing the 'inverted' comma waggle with your index fingers whilst sounding exactly like a teacher :unsure::unsure:

Hehe that cracks me up far more than anyone here would expect. :lol:

For the vast majority of my life I didn't do much usin'uh them $2 words.

A friend, who was maybe the smartest person I've ever met (Yale Physics), and I would occasionally venture beyond bar vernacular - ok he did often, me occ. - and he had some comment that made me reply "hey w/ my usual crowd, if you're using a 4 syllable word, it better be m*the*f*c**r!! ". :huh::lol:

So a comparison to a teacher cracks me up.

:)

tom Contributor

Bugger!! double post.

So I'll take this opportunity to call all the sodding definitions grammatically, if not gomorrah-cly, correct.

2. A pitiable person. E.g."He's just had his car stolen and his wife has just run off with the milkman, the poor sod." This use is also be found with the expressions 'poor bastard' and 'poor bugger'.

Isn't "poor sot" in use for this also?

As for the rest, save the lark section, aren't they all examples of euphemistically replacing common vulgarities used in exactly those contexts?

<omg I'm sodding professor spice here now> (please don't make that stick. It's only there for a laugh. Saxy is much more fun)

um, halloo, WHAT??? Listen you'd better take THAT kind of talk to the Smarty Pants thread, pal. ;)

HI LAURA!!!!! So nice to see you here!!

Elmo or no, just a buncha nonsense here, really, but we really do crack ourselves up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And yes, we are recruiting from OMG. :rolleyes:

back to the couch and the cool, darkened room. :)

Now, see - I love this!! You peeps are sounding more British everyday ;)

Beautifully executed Torm!! :D

Ahhh, no - actually a sot is a person who is very intoxicated by alcohol.

Suzeeee referred to my husband as a sot a couple of pages ago as he had been knocking back copious amounts of vino!! :lol::lol:

STOP!!!!

:lol: now THAT is funny! nothing to follow......you're overthinking. Tom uses too many big words, that's all. ;) He's forcing us to stretch our addled brains.....we're REALLY not used to that over here. :lol::lol::lol:

All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo.

Omg I now have to tell a little story that should elicit some "awwwwwww"s from this estrogen-filled bunch.

There's an old girlfriend of mine who I'm still close with and she has two daughters I love dearly whom I've known all their lives.

When the elder Nicole was 2.5-3 or whenever a kid 1st discovers they *do* have at least one small bit of power over adults - namely tickling them - was the xmas that tickle-me-elmo was hot.

She took to it like celiacs to a gluten-free bakery's grand opening.

W/ me she quickly, and I mean VERY quickly, became so giddy in just the anticipation, that she'd be two notches from uncontrollable giggles on approach. And how am I supposed to NOT laugh w/ this alligator-armed finger-wigglin' mini-cutie w/ the rapid-fire giggle slowly stepping my way ???

I ask u that!

One time, I'm on the couch and she's acting stealthy tho in plain view. Still 2 steps away, we're already both giggling away, and her grandmother was there and SHE says "why do THEY need a TickleMeElmo, they've got a TickleMeTom?"

They STILL call me TickleTom and maybe always will. Hehehehehhe. I mean, I get *mail* addr that way!

It HAS made for some uncomfortable moments to get introduced as that - even once to their school vice principal!!!!

Can u imagine how their friends' parents & other adults 1st look at me when they HEAR THIS???!!! Gets quickly cleared up of course.

Cute story. :D

No matter who writes it, I'm not sure I'm comfortable w/ stories that have references to possible pedophilia. <blegh>

Might be editing time.

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging. 
    • trents
      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.
    • Maura Gissen
      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again? 
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
