Nice!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the REAl story of the three bears:

Three Bears

This should end all "3 Bears Stories!"

Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table, he

looks into his small bowl. It is empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?!!"

he squeaks.

Papa Bear arrives at the table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his

big bowl, and it is also empty. "Who's been eating my Porridge?!!" he

roars.

Momma Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and

yells,

"How many times do we have to go through this with you idiots? It was Momma

Bear who got up first, it was Momma Bear who woke everyone in the house, it

was Momma Bear who made the coffee, it was Momma Bear who unloaded the

dishwasher from last night, and put everything away.

It was Momma Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the

newspaper, it was Momma Bear who set the damn table, it was Momma Bear who

put the friggin cat out, cleaned the litter box, and filled the cat's water

and food dish.

And, now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-asses downstairs, and

grace Momma Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen good, 'cause

I'm only going to say this one more time:

"I HAVEN'T MADE THE DAMN

PORRIDGE YET !!"

A man walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear.

"What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor.

The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."

:lol::lol::lol: excellent

Because if it had 4 it would be a chicken sedan! :P:rolleyes:

....and good work from you too, Bev. and OMG how CUTE is that impish niece????? she has just got a wicked little glimmer in her eyes, does she not???? BEEEE-YOO-tiful child! :)

and here, friends, is what I have for you today: (I am particularly amused by numbers 1 & 6):lol:

1. Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

2. Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.

3. I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with "Guess" on it. So I said "Implants?" She hit me.

4. I don't do drugs. I get the same effect just standing up fast.

5. Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled.

6. I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here.

7. I got a sweater for Christmas. I really wanted a screamer or a moaner.

8. If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

9. I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.

11. I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

12. I am a nobody, and nobody is perfect; therefore, I am perfect.

13. Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

14. How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

15. Isn't having a smoking section in a restaurant like having a peeing section in a swimming pool?

16. Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?

17. Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: "Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been!"

Don't know if you all have seen this yet. It's been around before. Seems most of you are partial to dogs but this is about cats, which I'm partial to. :P

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GIVING A CAT A PILL

Cats were my whole life....always, I was as obsessed with my cats as I now am w/ my dogs.....we always had cats and dogs at the same time in my childhood......but dogs took over my life about, well, nearly 13 years ago. I have had Stinker for one/fourth of my life. :huh: She will probably outlive me.

A man goes to his mate's fancy dress party with nothing but a naked girl on his back.

"So what on earth are you supposed to be?" the host asks.

"I'm a snail." The man replies.

"What a load of rubbish!" spits his host. "How can you be a snail when all you've got is that naked girl on your back?"

"That's not any naked girl, mate," the bloke replies, "that's Michelle."

The difference between a neurotic and a psychotic is that,

while a psychotic thinks that 2 + 2 = 5, a neurotic knows the answer is 4, but it worries him.

BODY MEETING:

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.

"I should be in charge," said the brain, "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen".

"I should be in charge," said the blood, "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."

"I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I process food and give all of you energy."

"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes."

"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.

Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

The Moral of the story?

The a****le is usually in charge !!

Ain't that the truth- :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Speaking of.....

A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured

them against, among other things, fire.

Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars

and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy

the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small

fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason,

that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

The lawyer sued ... and WON!

(Stay with me now.)

Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the

claim was friv olous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a

policy from the company, which it had warranted that the cigars were

insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire,

without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire" and was

obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company

accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the

cigars lost in the "fires".

NOW FOR THE BEST PART.

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested

on 24 counts of ARSON!!!

With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being

used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his

insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine .

This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the Criminal Lawyers

Award Contest.

ONLY IN AMERICA !

NO WO NDER THE REST OF THE WORLD THINKS WE'RE NUTS!

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!
    • Scott Adams
      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.
    • Scott Adams
      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
    • Scott Adams
      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
