Incredible! Yes, it is back to what it was. The top post on page 1200 is back to Susie's post.

I have no idea what happened.

we always LOVE and WELCOME any intrepid newcomer to our madness. :) We are madly goofy, and welcome ANYONE who wants to play.

Sillies, this is our beloved silly spot of friendship, goofiness, laffs and support.

AS YOUR QUEEN, I

HEREBY DECREE

that we get back to the spirit of things. Remember why we are here.

I would advise, if things upset you too much on controversial threads, do as I do, and STAY AWAY. Yes, the calm voice of reason should always prevail. But, people are going to believe what they want to believe, most of the time. Add your two cents, and move on. Do as Sarah did - and write to an offending company. WRite a couple of impassioned, informed posts.........and step away.

Or..........hell, stay there and fight. I don't care. :lol: Do what you need to do and do what is right.

But HERE?????????? BACK TO SILLY!!!!!!!!!!! BACK TO LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!!!!!! END OF DISSENSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

end of monarchial rant. :ph34r:

Well said, Queen Souczle! :D

:ph34r: Are any of us aware of what we talk about on here :blink:

I definitely am not :lol: A lot of it is way over my head!

And, obviously, mine too!!! :lol:

I was just wondering if the mystery of the wandering posts had something to do with the ones we lost in the abyss???? Have some of them lost their way? We need to tell them to go to the light!

Hi Sillies---Im back and tired! All the running around with Alan has worn me out, we were to the park and then picked berries, we wrote with the chalk and then ran around some more.....oh I am simply throwing in the towel. Crazy

The drive back was tiring and there was a lot of traffic which is odd for that stretch of road. Anyway you guys were busy posting while I was gone. Sheesh!

ANyway--here's Alan

Morning, Sillies!

Well, we're up to 7 medals, now.....rowing and swimming. Okay, we're on a roll.......!!

We are heading up to a gorgeous cottage today, my childhood friend's family cabin on Ashby Lake (doesn't it sound so exotic and nice?) There is an old aboriginal ghost that haunts the area....some time I'll have to tell you guys a few of the incredible stories the family has about seeing 'ol Charlie Antoine....and hearing him........ :unsure: He apparently has never been happy that my friend's great-grandfather built this cottage on his land, at the turn of the century.

Quite something.

Well, he'd best not appear to me today. All the yucky stuff that's been happening around here the last few days, I'm liable to fall down weeping in front of him......"Charlie, I know you spirits are busy, but please, please, just sit down, stop throwing things around the room and moaning loudly and speaking in tongues.....I need to unload some stuff on you". :rolleyes::lol:

GO OH Canada- before I forget, last night as I was reading this thread my almost five year old niece was sitting next to me (watching Aquamarine- GREAT movie- mermaid in real life!) and I was cracking up. She wanted to know what I was laughing about 9oh gawd- she doesn't even know what a UTERUS is :lol: :lol: so i showed her the Black Knight/French Taunting/Killer bunny videos on YouTube. She was laughing so hard I thought she was gonna pee her pant.

Julie- This morning she was peeking over my shoulder as I typed and she saw your picture. She said, "Who's that? She's sooooooo pretty" Then my 2 year old niece said "I wanna see" and she just went "Ooooooo she's pretty!"

Yes!! Yes!! Argumentative posts are to be recited in iambic pentametre. I will score it, put it to music, and my uterus will sing it. Actually, if you women take the time to sit quietly, and just.....listen..........perhaps you will hear strains coming from within, as well. Then we could have a chorus..... . . . .

Iambic pentameter, I can do

I will write for your uterus to sing

It shall be argument, melodic too

Throughout the land uteruses will ring ;) (penisuses?)

Hmmm to coup or not to coup, eh Soup?

This is MOST excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe five new renumerative nee-mullet-sites-hijacked-to-porn posts have appeared???? :unsure:

I'll go look. :wacko:

Ptaum- rocking the thread with verbiage!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back, Laura!!! :)

Yes, alas, the gents are uterusless. Certainly, you guys can come along and conduct wif yer batons......a fine suggestion!........ :lol::ph34r:

They may be uterusless but certainly not useluss or eunuchs :lol: :lol:

Amanda!!! What a beeeeeoooo-tiful boy Alan is!!! :)

Morning All---waking up late here!

I am sitting here watching Grounded for Life...and I am starting to get into this show, it is funny.

Alan's in foster care since his house got condemed. He and his mom were staying with friends, the friends were smoking weed and his mom called the cops...well child services took her kids...but only since the house got condemed. He is funny, he told me he wants to take me home.

Mornin all

I got a Roomba! :D Those vacuum dealies that wander around your house and vacuum?

It's wandering around now, banging into chair legs and stuff and distressing the cats exceedingly. It's pretty noisy, but normally it'll run while I'm not home, so I can deal with that.

Emily, has Canada gotten a medal in furling yet? Or is that a winter sport. I can never remember those off-Broadway sports. :huh:

:lol: :lol: I suppose I'll have to name it eventually. I'll wait a while and see if something strikes me.

I got it about half price from the Amazon outlet store. It's refurbished, so I'll try to use it a lot for the first few weeks to make sure it has no issues.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      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?
    • Cathijean90
      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?

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.
