Yes sillies I can be a little gutter girl (mind in the gutter) The board is acting funny tonight and I cant get mine fixed...I do hope it gets fixed soon.

OMG did I tell you about my one coworker who sits next to me? about a month ago she blurted out her salary and it was well more than the rest of us was making and the catch is she is a secretary. Anyhoo she barely does any of her assigned work, she spends most of the day on the phone or doing her bills and things for her 3 grown adult kids.....today she disappeared for almost an hour visiting a friend who works on the 6th floor, and then came back and spent the remaining hour of the afternoon on the phone giving her 25 yr old son love advice which I think is strange....a few of us have complained to my boss but she sees nothing wrong with it. To make it worse.....we are good friends with her and now that you know her salary it makes thing even more obnoxious....ugh! the drama of my office!

Thanks! It helps that no one heard all the affronted mutterings under the breath while I typed away...

Amazingly simple home remedies

1. If you're choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments about lifting the toilet seat with the female members of your household by using the sink instead.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers - simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough.

7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

8. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

And I suggest you go back and read the first few pages, maybe you need a refresher on bashing, because there was definitely name calling, and bashing going on. Closed minds are just that, closed. Exploring things only makes us more informed, no body is forcing anyone to take anything.

AND little missy, if you disagree with her then YOU are on of the close-minded sheep NOT taking this wonder drug.

They're in Kenya. The wife, Michelle, used to work in the lab next to mine. Extremely nice person, but not overly given to oddness. I've never met the husband, but he is NOT what I expected her to be married to. It would be like Ursa being married to a combination of persons on this forum... :huh:

Gawd--we had to run out for a little while, and I came back to drama :o Sarah, you are a brave soul with a ton of restraint :D The other night I posted to Alex that many times I'd like to comment on things but don't dare. I'd get too upset and I hate getting into arguments.

I remember one time, I got me butt reamed--but good--for somephin' I said on the subject of communion wafers.....never again <_<

You guys are too phunny with all the commentary :D

Me buttons were all back in place when I got back, too, so that's good B)

I think the print screen helped explain what others were seeing. Within 5 minutes of sending it, all was resolved.

Patti - I think we have all learned that lesson, one too many times. ;) I do remember those threads :)

I think Scaught just considers Laura computer-savy and the rest of us are not . . . we just didn't know what we were doing . . . but if it didn't work for Laura, then something must have been wrong. We call that being the teacher's board administrator's pet. :lol:

After being called "board administrator's pet," I have severe emotional scarring.

I'll now need to be seen by the board's counselor.

Patti, are you available to help?

Arrrrggghhh!!

Caught by a cross-over poster :o

Sounds like someone who is planning to change their wardrobe :P

You might want to dig around the yard just in case Weezee buried some negotiable securities, matured bonds or Krugerrands.

:wacko:

My great-grandma used to bury her money in the backyard........she didn't trust banks.

Crap-ola!!!!! :angry: I lost the other quotes!.........stay tuned..........

Lisa, can you explain to me how I can unfurl the garden hose when I pull it out to water the plants and NOT have it all tangle up, so that I don't have to walk all the way back over and UNtangle it? <_<:huh::lol:

Sounds like a problem for me hubby. If you were to ask HIM, he would tell you that the trick is not in the UNfurling, but rather the FURLING of the hose <It's a poifektly good word, so leave it alone :P >....DH is a stickler for how a hose should be wound....that also goes for extension cords, ropes,.....

OMG LIsa!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

I'm totally loving your self explanatory signs!!!!!!!!

....but WAIT!!..........there is someone who I can try these out on!!!

......one of the evil pheral pharkwits is deaf (remember them???, the gang of teens causing trouble in my street)

...will he understand me???....Is ASL different to BSL (that's British Sign language :rolleyes: NOT the other words that BS are associated with :lol: )

Maybe Lisa could teach me

''Kindly bog off to yer own street'' :unsure: (maybe with more profanities ? ;) )

I do believe BSL is different, but there is probably enough similarities that he would get the drift.......although I'm sure we don't have a sign for *bog off* :unsure: ........or were you wanting something a little stronger? :rolleyes: ..............I know how to call him a peabrain :P ....................not strong enough, huh?

Pythagorus' wife conTINually accused him of a porn addiction.

<_<

I wonder if he got in trouble in school for continuously drawing va-jay-jays in class..... <_<

Wow, another beautiful day shaping up here, today... :)

A heads-up: I am heading over to the home of one of our Gang of Four this afternoon, the ones with whom I loll about in hot tubs and drink champagne through the lunch hour. Today we're going to be sitting around a gorgeous pool with unbelievably landscaped grounds bursting with flowers, bonsai and vinery. So, who knows what my posts will contain afterward....... <_<:rolleyes:

Gaaaaaahhh.....Something else to niggle at my brain......for, like the words "ravel" and "unravel", I believe "furl" and "unfurl" are in fact synonyms. This happens rarely in our confounding language, an opposing prefix adding nothing to the meaning of its root word, but there you are.......not certain on this one.

Now isn't that just fascinating?? <_<

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Furl? :huh::lol:

      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.

      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.
