Judy! I have often thought of this, wished it even. . . . I often want another arm. The question remains: Where would the best place be for it to function most effectively, to pick up the slack, to be in the best spot to perform what my other arms/hands miss? It's fascinating to ponder. . . . . do I want it out the centre of me back, to do chores and small jobs that can be done with my back turned, not requiring direct watching? To most easily fix my underwear/jeans when they're riding up my butt?

How about out the top of me head? For waving above everyone else at airports, concerts, auctions. . . . . ...

Between my boobs, to separate them (they'd look better, methinks), and to carry that extra grocery bag in front, to shake hands with the third person I meet in a group. . . . . ...

....Dunno. . . . . . must ask The Ripper. . . . . . ... :lol:

as for the arm, i vote for an extra long one in the middle of the stomach with a brain of its own (which always complies w/mine) that allows me to multitask w/o messing both things up :lol:

HI ALL

good ideas for sure

I think i need one in me front somewhere.

yes ask the Ripper......

I sure need an exta arm Dangling ...........SOMEWHERE!

ha just saw a post from Janet...dang you guys are fast.............WELCOME HOME........AGAIN..........JANET :lol:

POOP IN time! I am enjoying having 2 arms for a change (and you guys want 3- ha!)

New queen? Ooh ooh....perhaps we should elect a prince/princess like one of the pups or kitties in the thread. Queen Weezee? King Gus?

An Uncle Ray for y'all:

Five Surgeons are discussing the types of people they like to Operate on.

The first surgeon says: I like to see accountants on my operating table because when open them up, everything inside is numbered.

The second responds: 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians!Everything inside them is color-coded.

The third surgeon says: 'No, I really think librarians are the best; Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.

The fourth surgeon chimes in: 'You know, I like construction Workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine . Plus, the head and the arse are interchangeable :lol:

DD had a biopsy recently of a rash. She's had it for months. Doesn't really look like pictures I've seen of DH, but seems to get worse when she eats gluten. Results came back negative for celiac....not sure if he even did it right......but positive for lupus. The dermatologist isn't convinced that diagnosis is accurate, so he's running blood tests for lupus, celiac, and thyroid.

Mammoth Cave in . . . wait for it . . . Cave City, Kentucky. . . largest known cave in the world.

Each year we pick a different tour to go on. This year we went on the "Snowball Tour"

Duration: 3 hours

Walking Distance: 2 miles

Sells Out at: 38 visitors

Restroom Available: Yes

Description: Descend nearly 200 stairs at the Carmichael Entrance of Mammoth Cave, pass the craggy breakdown of the Rocky Mountains and enter gypsum encrusted Cleaveland Avenue. This tour showcases gypsum in various crystalline shapes and sizes. The beautifully elliptical Cleaveland Avenue terminates in the Snowball Room, viewed by visitors since the 1840s. Food may be purchased from the park's concessionaire during the 45 minutes spent in this room, traditionally a 20th-century underground meal stop. Visitors retrace Cleaveland Avenue, ascending nearly 200 stairs at the Carmichael Entrance.

Elevation Change: 267 feet

Number of Stairs: Approximately 400 (183 are descended on the way in and ascended upon exiting the cave)

Steep Hill Climbs?: The 183 stairs at the exit

Restrictions: General Restrictions apply

Because we were such a small group (we had less than twenty on our tour), our guide took us to see a couple of other things. However, if you ask the kids what their favoUrite part was . . . buying candy and eating it (at picnic tables) in the snowball room. And they were amazed at the restrooms . . . actually, I was too. I thought they would be a lot more . . . um . . . gross? . . . primative? . . . not that I was expecting posh or anything, I just expected more port-o-let-ish. The candy and seeing a bat in the cave were the highlights!! :lol:

Hey! Just got back from Sophie's first hockey game of the season.....they won 1-0. She was very busy in front of the net. Oy, here we go. . . . another nerve-wracking season as a goalie's mom has begun. . .. . . . . . :rolleyes:

And I put that crazy jester to use - - threw him out onto the ice, on skates, between periods to entertain the parent spectators. Wouldn't you know it, though... . . out thundered the trumpeter, competing for attention. There was a brawl. The benches cleared. . .. frenzied bugling and tambourining. . . .craziness. the jester and trumpeter were penalized, and put in the box. Had their trumpet and bugle confiscated. :lol:

Bah. How embarrassing. I do hope, after all of these misadventures wif my monarchical coloUr staff, that I am not Queen again until these gentlemen iron things out, and return to a respectible level of professionalism. :huh::lol:

Sounds like a phab trip, Janet!

Lisa. . . . ....we'll have to keep an eye out fer that DD o' your'n around here - - you may have to start behaving yerself!

Hope you get some answers with these new blood tests.........

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Erica!! Did you pull an all-nighter? About whom did you choose to write? You must tell us all, in precis form. . ... . . .

Well, it's picture day at Jack's school. He's all spiffed up in his uniform, and has said that he is relieved that he does not have zits yet, "like my sister!" Of course, announced loudly, in her presence.. . . ...Then the repeated script ensues:

"Yeah, well . .. ...at least I don't have BABY FAT all over my face, still!"

"Yeah? Well, thank gawd I don't have a huge BUM like yours!!"

"Oh, yeah?? Well, the photo company just may refuse to take yer picture this year - - might cause massive damage to the internal camera computer!"

"Ha! I'll bet YOUR school will refuse to put your photo in their yearbook....too embarrassed!!"

It's something I hear fairly regularly at this time of year. Jack's parting shot will be some advice about Sophie wearing her goalie mask for her shot, as it will look best that way. . . . ..

Gad. :rolleyes::lol:

Morning Sillies-

Welcome to Monday---pretty blah here but hoping for a better week. Last week was terrible between the pink eye thing, Landen being so sick, no luck in the housing area and then yesterday I was mean and said something to Jen which I shouldnt have said and made her cry--plus while making dinner last night I was straining water off pasta and dumped the pot of boiling water and half of it spilled on my barefeet....luckily it looks good today...there is some sunshine!

So I am hoping for a much better week.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By Heather Hill · Posted

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:
