Well, finally got some GOOD news today. They tested my immune system a month ago for how much the Lyme is impacting it. A normal person is 2-17%. I came in at a whopping 2%. Hey! I'm almost normal.

Wow! This is Great news, Bevel!! :):)

Well, duct tape will NOT keep my boobs up. I need a little portable shelf er sumfin'.... . . .bit o' scaffolding... . .

How about wires?.... . .Brackets?.... . .

Here I was traipsing through Sears and Walmart, when I think I should have headed straight fer Home Depot....... <_<:rolleyes:

:lol:

So I was thinking about your dress with the low back challenge.....you just have to duct tape in the front, not all the way around. Yes, hoist them way up and then slap the tape across securely to hold em in place, across and up and down...I think it will work ;) ....you'll need an assistant of course, if DH isn't available maybe Gus could lend a hand

Indeed, sillies seem scarce today. While I'm keeping abreast of the discussion, I don't think I will be able to add any, um, support to a decision regarding a bra. :ph34r:

:lol: Peter!!!!!

Well, you could always have DH lend his support . . . holding them up from behind . . . that aught to get them talkin' . . . where are you going? . . . a church picnic??

Great news Bev - - YaY for YoU!!

Sombody asked . . . not sure who . . . but we are headed to Fripp Island, SC. Spending the night in Ashville along the way. We rent a house (just off the beach) with another family . . . old friends from Cincinnati. This is our seventh year. The first year, my daughter only wanted to play in the dunes (which is forbidden) and didn't like the ocean (too noisy). It's gotten better.

Take care sillies!!

Did I ever tell you guys... I was late for my own wedding? Because- get this- I was in the bathroom taping these circle thingies on my boobs. It may actually have been duct tape.

My wedding planner was my mom's best friend, and she (best friend) kept saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Finally my mom took her aside and said, "LOOK... it's not like they're going to start without her!" Bless my mom. :wub:

Morning, all!

Wow.....no one on yet? What's everyone up to this am?

Judy! I wanna see yer pic, too....sounds beautiful!

Julie - - I took your advice, and pushed 'em way up, but wrapping them wasn't gonna work, so I put all of this duct tape just underneath said boobs, acting like a push-up kind of shelf. In fact, I had a look at those stick-on things at Sears yesterday, and it is the same principle.

Well.... . . .no. Made things look.... . .somewhat... . .strange.

This is an interesting problem.

:huh::lol: Well...... . To ME. Like diphthongs and schwas, the fascination may not be shared too extensively. :rolleyes:

I need a structural engineer to help me out, here.

Who would be able to solve this situation?

There are those guys over at Home Depot.......

Peeeeeeeeeee-tur! Oh, Peeeeee-tur!?

This came to me from DH: :lol::lol:

Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns:

(Walter is the male version of Ann Landers)

Dear Walter: I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.

When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve years.

When I confronted him, he admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago, and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Distraught in North Carolina

Dear Distraught: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

Walter

Speaking of this, Patti has sent me the infamous BOOB pic, to see if I can load it as an av. Like you, Patti, it's not happening, and I have it modified to an email size....cannot remember the pixel #, but it should be working......

Gawd, a successful display of this av may warrant me my first warning....after all, it is very sexually alluring....four of the greatest boobs around....... :lol::lol:

Ok, I don't get any more technical than that :P

Where in hell IS everyone?? Summer holiday, er, vacation, I guess.

Morning, all!

Wow.....no one on yet? What's everyone up to this am?

TRYING TO POST!!!!!:exasperatedface:

It happened to me again :angry: I was up at 7 this morning, typing away, and when I was done, lost the forum, lost my post! Y'all are really missing my me best witticisms!

I went to the middle school on Tues. to pack up my stuff.....just a deskful.....and by the time I got back had a heinously sore neck and headache. I always wondered if the school was making me sick.......been under construction for over 2 years. I've heard that sometimes drywall compound has gluten in it. I'll be going back on Mon. when school starts to say good bye to everyone and do a *sick building* challenge. <_< I no longer will be at a year-round school, so will be going back to work Aug 8. ( no construction at this school ;) )

Besides being without income.........and now having 3 more weeks to scrape by than expected......this summer has been good to me. I lost 9 more pounds, for a total so far of 20......yes 20 pounds :D I have also gone off my blood pressure meds....( me doc doesn't know it yet :ph34r: , but who needs him?)......last reading it was 108/61!!! Lots more energy and feeling better until the Tues. fiasco.

((((Gasp)))))..... . . . ...Laura was able to re-size someone's BOOBS?? Mygawd......I need her contact information............. . . .. .

Is she the one in charge of the double D's I never got???

I'm sure someone has had their name coined into this situation (perhaps MOI :rolleyes: )....when you come on suddenly, complaining about how you've lost a huge, HILARIOUS post that there is no possible way you can duplicate, so everyone will have to tolerate your second-rate replacement post.....Think henceforth we are now calling it a LISA. :lol:

Lisa!! GREAT news about the weight loss and bp! Good for you! :):)

The very same. Laura, it would seem, has the breast market cornered........ . ..

In all likelihood, yes. The forum software can automatically resize any photo to the max avatar size (150 pixels by 133 for landscape), but the maximum file size you can upload is 50Kb. The higher the resolution of the photo, the more bytes it takes. If it is a high resolution one, you would have to shrink it to no more than 50Kb before uploading.

You have my email. If you send it I will massage it for you and send it back. :)

      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.
