You've all collectively gotten together to drag me mind into the gutter. There is no other explanation. :angry:

Exactly!! Someone else is ALWAYS responsible. That's why people gather in groups, not for companionship, it's to be certain there's someone around to get you off the hook

:rolleyes:

Y'all are crackin' me up :lol:

Mygawd.....if we were gonna photo shop some other boobs, I think we would have gone for Elle MacPherson or Cindy Crawford...... :rolleyes:

Cindy's so much more about the whole sultry package than the boobs. ;)

Let's say Elle or Jessica Alba or Jennifer Aniston or Halle Berry or Brooke Burke or Heather Graham or Courtney Thorne-Smith or Jennifer Love Hewitt (wait . ..are those fake?) or Catherine Bell or old-school it w/ Adrienne Barbeau!!

(lol that took longer than it appears) :lol:

Dimwitted Elisabeth Hasselback? <beck? back?>

:lol: :lol:

<why am I posting this?> :lol:

Oh my gawd. :ph34r:

I've already abashed myself due to my choice of colloquialisms to describe altering a digital photo.

Among mainframe techies, to "massage" data means to manually manipulate it (as opposed to an existing automated process) to get it into the desired form. OMG, "manually manipulate" isn't any better when the topic is a picture of the sort we are discussing. What a boob I must be. :blink: I should have said that I would alter the characteristics of the photo to reduce the total file size. B):lol:

Well there you go---------I don't speak that language.........thus............my mind goes to the gutter :ph34r:

I should have said that I would alter the characteristics of the photo to reduce the total file size. B):lol:

Yes, but then we wouldn't have all this fun. :ph34r:

If you and Tom aren't on line this weekend.......we'll know where to find you.........in the sock isle at Walmarts. ;)

Got some good news today! My mom had a chest x-ray yesterday, and already got the results today-- it looked clear! This is amazing, because something like 95%+ of Sarcoidosis patients have lesions on the lungs. She's apparently one of that tiny percentage that doesn't.

She still needs to have her eyes checked out, and possibly an EKG... but this is a very positive, encouraging start! :D

tom Contributor

Great news Sarah!! :) :)

And hardy-har-har Judy :lol:

YAY!!

Finally one less thing for you to worry about. You've had more than your share recently. Send the next problem over to LisaGoosey's soon-to-be-ex daughter's mother-in-law.

Boy, am I feeling my age now.....

If we're heading back that far, weren't Farrah's pretty terrific, as well?

I should have said that I would alter the characteristics of the photo to reduce the total file size. B):lol:

Judy!! We're NOT allowed to speak this way! Nikki is current monarch and there is to be NO such technical, science-and mathy type speak here...it is ordained.... :rolleyes:

Tough to get a good....fit.....in such a public spot. :lol:

But if you're there, guys, head on over to the frame department afterwards with some of your crappy photos and join me there........

OUT TO EAT MAYBE 6 TIMES IN 3 YEARS

THIS IS THE 'SILLY' THREAD.............I HAVE TO FIND ME SOME .........SILLY............ :ph34r:

Jestgar Rising Star

well, my roomie has officially been sworn in as a US citizen. I ran into him on the boat as he was returning from the ceremony so I got to watch the whole, slow, dawning of realization that his whole life had changed and he suddenly had options that he had never had before. It was kind of fun.

I took him out to Red Robins (learned unfortunate new things about what I can can't eat) and I haven't seen him since. I suspect last night his work buddies took him out, and now he's at work. He's probably bruised from being slapped on the back so many times (why do men hit to show pleasure?). Maybe this'll take his mind off the fact that everything he owns is covered in fur....

You'll be fine, especially if your bring your own salad. The worst part will be realizing how much the price of a movie has gone up in 10 years :P

Just get an aisle seat, so you don't feel restrained.

Well pholks, I'm back from my ultrasound and the preliminary news is good! :D

Liver looks clear and not fatty (which is more than I can say fer the rest of me :lol: )--no gallstones, just a harmless-looking polyp. The technician was so nice and said that there was nothing there that would cause elevated enzymes :blink: Radiologist will see it on Monday.

I maintain it was the weeks of constant low level glutening. Who knows?

Em--what did you decide to do to hoist the girls fer the wedding? :P

Jess--good news about yer room mate :)

Did ya'll notice that Pataughmn, quiet as of late, snapped back into action with the talk of boobalicious women last night? :lol:

PeOter--I had a feeling that "massage" had some kind of technical meaning as well--but as I said, "megapixel" is about as technical as I get. Too phunny, though! :lol:

It's going up to 96 today :o

Uncle Ray has gone blooming mad:

The Suits

A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.

The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.

The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the Blonde mortician a blank check and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.'

The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly.

She says to the mortician, 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I' m very grateful. How much did you spend?' To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check.

'There's no charge,' she says.

'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says.

'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.'

'So I just switched the heads.'

(BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN!!!)

      @sillyyak52 Welcome to the forum! I'm just about to go away for a couple of days but read this and just had to reply.  I am so sorry for what you are going through... it is really tough. Perhaps finding a short video online which explains the seriousness of celiac disease might help.  Just sit your family down and say, "Please just watch this one video with me."    There is one, here for example, on Coeliac UK, which I think is convincing - What is Coeliac Disease? https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/resources/videos-for-newly-diagnosed-patients/?&&type=r&set=true#cookie-widget I was watching a TV comedy programme we have in the UK over Christmas called Doc Martin.  If you get this programme where you live, there is a case on the final ever episode (Christmas 2022).  The seriousness of celiac disease is explained in that episode,. Perhaps watching something rather than reading would help?  But if you are after something short to read, I am not sure what country you live in but you might be able to find a coeliac charity that produces pamphlets, or perhaps your GP could let you have something?  Perhaps even better, would you be able to attend the GP surgery with your mother and get your GP to explain the seriousness of not complying with the diet?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease just over a year ago. I never had any gastrointestinal symptoms before I started eating gluten free, and the diagnosis did come somewhat as a shock. The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were fatigue, and an ongoing Iron and Vitamin D deficiency that worsened even when taking supplements. I visited my GP with these symptoms, which consequently led to a positive celiac blood test and eventually a positive biopsy. Since starting the gluten free diet, I no longer have any deficiencies or unexplained fatigue. When I am glutened now, I experience bloating, severe constipation (that often affects my sleep!) and an onset of fatigue.  My family does not believe that I actually have celiac disease, and thinks that all these symptoms are a 'placebo' effect of being told the 'wrong' diagnosis. Ever since my diagnosis, they have constantly been telling me that I should seek a second opinion. I really don't see the point of getting a second opinion. I trust that the blood test and biopsy were accurate, and the improvement in my blood tests, fatigue and the symptoms I experience now when I now accidentally consume gluten are enough for me. On top of that, if I were to seek a second opinion now, I believe I would need to do a gluten challenge to get an accurate diagnosis, which I am definitely not willing to do just to please my family.  Because they don't believe in my diagnosis, they think that I take the diet 'too seriously'. They are always comparing my celiac disease to my siblings' mild peanut allergy, and it is so exhausting trying to explain it when they just look at me like I am crazy. For example, since my siblings can eat products with 'may contain peanuts' with no issues, they tell me I am ridiculous for avoiding 'may contain gluten' products when possible.  I am also very careful about cross-contact in restaurants, which they will make similar comments about. I have been told are that "I need to stop being so fussy because I live in the real world". Recently, when I did not want to buy my birthday cake from a local bakery that confirmed their gluten free items are not coeliac-safe, my family told me "Well, who cares? They said it's gluten free. What more could you want? Do you need to take them to court to prove it's gluten free so you'll eat it?" It is truly so upsetting that after a year they have made no effort to understand celiac disease, and why I am so strict or 'fussy'. I have thought about giving them information to read, but my mom never ever reads anything. Not even her own emails, and will often make me read things and summarise them for her. She is honestly the one who is most difficult and very obviously still sees my celiac disease as something that I choose to believe.  How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?
