Just back from Las Vegas, and just wanted to inform my silly friends that BETTI the YETI is alive and well in Las Vegas. Yes, indeed. I saw ONE slot machine in ONE casino called Betti the Yeti, so in honor of my friends here in sillyville, I had to play it. True to the gist of what I've read here...Betti the Yeti was not good to me! :angry::lol:

Welcome Back Donna! Sorry to hear Betti was not a good friend.....I have not had luck at our casino either.....

An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to

ask his advice in reviving her husband's libido.

'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor.

'Not a chance', she said. 'He won't even

take an aspirin.

'Not a problem,' replied the doctor. 'Give him

an 'Irish Viagra'. It's when you drop the Viagra

tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give

it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things

went.

It wasn't a week later when she called the doctor, who

directly inquired as to her progress. The poor dear

exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was

horrid! Just terrible, doctor!'

'Really? What happened?' asked the doctor.

Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee

and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight

up, with a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging

fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cups and

tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me

then and there passionately on the tabletop! It was a

nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!'

'Why so terrible? asked the doctor, 'do you mean

the sex your husband provided wasn't good?'

'Twas the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure

as I'm sittin here, I'll never be able to show me

face in Starbucks again!

:o:o:o Em and I better watch out! :lol:

so. Was I too harsh? Should I have gone with him anyway?

I'd have been miffed...you had talked with him about it last night. I'm thinking the two biggest water using items isn't a new thing either...can't have been the first time that issue has come up. I think miffed was appropriate! :lol:

Welcome back, Donna :D

Jess--Considering that you two had spoken about the water situation before and given his snippy reply this morning, I don't blame you for being ticked off. I'm thinking you feel somewhat badly for not going to his hearing with him, but if he felt so strongly about you going with him, I would think he'd have handled his side of the exchange a bit differently.

Is he usually like that? Maybe he was nervous?

Nope! But I did manage to come home with money, lol! And, considering how much the food has gone up in a year or so since we were there last, that's kind of amazing, lol.

We DID play enough to get two free buffet dinners at the Wynn (a most EXCELLENT buffet), which would have cost us $35 each.

He is never ever wrong. I am always inappropriately emotional when he acts like a jerk just does what every normal person would do.

Have fun you two (or is it 'hope you're having fun'?, what time is it there anyway?)

Very kurius

My sweetie proposed to me in N.H. .... :)

Laura and her sweetie :wub:

Oh....I believe I mentioned the free alcoholic beverages from 5:30 to 7;30 in our lovely hotel lounge. Well, after sitting at the bar for a while, chatting with the lovely Americans around me, I brought up....yes, it's true....ANAL GLANDS.

Then the Yeti. (DH and children LONG GONE, as you can imagine)....

I began chortling unabashedly. These guys tried to figure out why I was bringing these things up....then, I am certain, just thought, "Hell, this is one pissed Canuck chick.....Northern yetis and their anal glands?? I am SO outta here".....

And off they staggered to the lovely Australian tourists at the table close to the bathroom... :lol::lol:

:lol:

So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92

years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember

fairies are female.....

:lol::lol:

Ah, yes... That's the Waiting-For-You-to-Leave-So-I-Can-Poop Silence. Sometimes I just wanna yell... "Just poop already! You're gonna give yourself a hemorrhoid!"

yes, the shy bowel, or, more popularly known as our newest ban, Shy Sphincter and the Reluctant Floaters.

Yes, the shy bowel

:o:o:o Em and I better watch out! :lol:

:lol:

Jess, I agree with what everyone else said. Given you discussed it the night before, I can see why you would be more than irritated, and then his reply seemed to be one of that he didn't really care, or worse, you were overreacting. Maybe he just wasn't thinking because of the stress of the interview?

Amanda, I'm sorry to hear you are still having trouble breathing :(

Oh..... ... . . . . :):):wub: !!!

Wow.

So. I have just had the fortunate opportunity to meet, in the flesh, THE most meet-able, rewardingly kind, phunny member of this phorum. Think of everything you would imagine Patti to be like in real life.....well, it's all there: lovely, patient, listens to everything (I mean everything - - oh, gawd...) you say, informative, hilarious....yep, just too much. :lol::lol:

Patti will be first to get the pics up, as I do not have my USB cord with me. Be ready....hold one another... .. .. :lol:

And Mark!! OMG......Charming and hilarious. Jack cannot stop commenting on how phunny this man is - - direct quote - - "Mom, Mark paid attention to everything I said, and he even kept looking at me in my eyes. That is rare, and it made me feel great!" :)

We lured the Pattis from Starbucks to our open house at the hotel, and furthered our amazing chatter on the patio with wine.

Now, everyone...Patti, I know, probably wasn't feeling the best, as she has her blood work tomorrow and mentioned she wasn't 100%. But I just keep thinking, MAN, what in hell is she like when she's ON?

Thanks SO much, Patti, for welcoming me to your beautiful neck of the woods, especially when you likely weren't feeling terrific. :wub:

If you guys ever get even a remote chance to meet this great woman in person, do whatever it takes!

I did NOT wear me bib. But a couple of the pics taken are of just our breasts, and you will have to guess whose are whose. :o

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By trents · Posted

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any formal test results that prove celiac disease, you could just as easily have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, what testing you have had done indicates you do not have celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten is the antidote for both. What muddies this whole question are two things: 1. Lack of official diagnostic data that indicates celiac disease. 2. Your persistence in consuming gluten, even though in smaller amounts. Your anxiety over the insomnia seems to outweigh your anxiety over the weight loss which prevents you from truly testing out the gluten free diet. What other medical testing have you had done recently? I think something else is going on besides a gluten disorder. Have you had a recent CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a recent CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)? You say you don't believe you have any vitamin and mineral deficiencies but have you actually been tested for any. I certainly would be concerned with that if I was losing weight like you are despite consuming the high amount of calories you are.

      False blood test positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AndiOgris! Recently upgraded guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks to the day of testing to ensure valid testing, either for the antibody testing or the endoscopy/biopsy. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. So, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not your gluten consumption was intense enough to ensure valid testing the second time around. And was the tTG-IGA the only antibody test that was run? That is far from a comprehensive celiac panel. Concerning your negative biopsy, there is the possibility of patchy damage that was missed due to inadequate sampling as you alluded to. There is also the possibility that the onset of your celiac disease (if you have it) was so new that there had not yet been time to accumulate damage to the small bowel lining. Your total lack of symptoms at the time of diagnosis would seem to support this idea. Having said all that, and this is my informal observation from reading many, many posts like yours over the years, I wonder if you are on the cusp of celiac disease, crossing back and forth across that line for the time being. My suggestion would be to keep a close eye on this for the time being. Watch for the development of symptoms and request a more complete celiac panel a year from now. Here is an article that discusses the various antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Note: The EMA test is kind of outdated and expensive. It has been replaced by the tTG-IGA which measures the same thing and is less expensive to run.

      False blood test positive?

      By AndiOgris · Posted

      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago. I am in my early 40s and did not have any symptoms, but I took a blood test in November 2023 and it came back positive (TTG IGA 23.4 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). I was referred for a gastroscopy to confirm, which was scheduled for October 2024 (I use the UK health service, things move slowly!). The gastroscopy found no evidence of celiac disease.  My gastroenterologist has asked me to retake the blood test, and it just came back negative (TTG IGA 1.6 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). Given the long wait between my initial positive blood test and my gastroscopy, I reduced my gluten intake but never avoided it fully. In the 6 weeks before the gastroscopy and the second blood test, I made sure to eat at least two slices of bread a day as recommended, and often I had significantly more.  So what's going on? I understand that false positives are very rare for celiac blood tests, and usually associated with other serious diseases which I am fairly sure I don't have (my health is generally very good). After the negative biopsy, I thought that (i) either they did not take enough samples, or (ii) I have "potential celiac disease". But now that the second blood test has come back negative, I'm running out of plausible explanations...  Can anyone make sense of this? I have not spoken to my gastroenterologist yet - I wanted to get a better sense of where I am beforehand so that I can ask the right questions. Under the UK system, specialist doctors can be very hard to get hold of, so I need to make the most of my time with him! Thanks!

      Do you mean that your stools firmed up when you began to cut gluten from your diet?
