POeter! Jack is well into the second installment in yer brother's first parallax......this one is Humans. We were trying to recall - - did you not say that some big movie people are in discussion with him about one of his works? This would be truly exciting. . . . .... :)

Rob has sold film rights to some of his works, although none have yet been produced. I don't recall just which ones they are.

The story is hard to put down. Jack has it easy. When he finishes a book, the next one is at the book store. I read them as they came out from the publisher (I did not get advance copies), and so had to wait about a year between books each time.

Rob was not inspired in any way by Sam in the creation of the Neanderthal trilogy. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited. :ph34r:

Several posts were made while I was composing this. :o

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo :mortifiedface:

Thought I uploaded a new av but it failed and now won't upload ANY av!!!!

********* *********** **********

Oh yeah .. ...speaking of Wasilla . ..

Brother Pat's mailing addr was Wasilla, tho technically the llama ranch was a little outside of town.

It's just such an unremarkable little town. For groceries we'd head over to nearby Palmer.

Not to buy meat, tho ;)

I bet I had mooseburgers the first night there, and moose sausage the next morning. Mmmmmmmmmm :droolface:

Sausages made by a pro from moosemeat brought in by the end-user/hunter.

Oy . ...woik wearin' me brain out!

Yesterday I didn't even notice the *&*@^% pull-up resistor I should've removed before even TRYING to get valid data. <arrrrrrrrrrgh!!> :angry:

Ended up looking stupid in front of the boss. :( And so now I've got to 1st make up for that before accumulating more on the plus side. The goal is to make the boss wonder how they ever got by w/out me :lol:;) , but missing that *&^%$#@ pull-up put me in a hole.

OH! OH!! I even - for I think just the 2nd time in my LIFE - had a pen spew ink, whilst in-pocket, making a 4-5" wet spot - not just a stain, oh no. I didn't even notice until feeling wet skin.

So .. . .. ..who's got a phlipover, voodooing their way into my taking the hit??? :wacko::angry:

Morning Sillies-

Time for my morning rant...

This mornings topic: Keeping Communication Lines Open @ your Employment Facility!

Mind you this happened yesterday but I am still pi$$ed off about it.

Let me start off by saying that the place I work leases the computers we use. They have a contract through Dell and we get new computers on 3 year leases which is how we always have pretty current computers. So our computers get switched all the time, usually depending on around the time you started your job since that was when it was typically purchased. So now the only 2 in my office that have not got the new computers are myself and my buddy next to me, we have both had our 3 yr anniversary dates last month.

So here is how it works- when the lease is running out, we get an email from the Heme office upstairs asking if one of our computers matches up to the serial number in the email. So while I was off with my dad an email went around and it didnt match either computer. Monday I come in and I get this strange message about security settings and such- I knew it was legit when it said contact the help desk and gave the ext. # for our help desk. So I called and here the whole security system turned off 10/1/08 on my system. Which was odd....and there were never any messages about it expiring nothing. The help desk was confuzzled as was I. Luckily no viruses came on this computer in the almost 2 months since the program failed. They fixed it and we went to work. At the end of Monday another email came through my office about the lease expiring on a machine...once again no matches. So i called the woman who sends the emails....she basically told me this is not a priority blah blah blah. I explained I was not in a rush but if you keep sending the emails and nothing is matching there is a problem.....She was rude to me---which only adds to the frustration and I hung up the phone.

Yesterday morning- I come in and I could no longer print from our Lab results system to the big copier. I can't use the printer on my desk since I lent my coworker the black ink cartridge....which is a different story. So I once again call the help desk where the tell me the reason things are not working is the lease expired on my computer.....in JULY!!!!! So now I have a computer which the longer it sits on my desk the more money the hospital loses since once it is not turned in after so long once the lease runs out they are obligated to buy the computer....not good. So I had IT send the email confirming the lease ran out. They had to put old versions of our lab system and other med programs we use here on since the machine is not reading the new stuff.....Mind you this computer is only 3 yrs old.....but still. I get off the phone and send an email to the rude lady, my boss and another person in the heme office....as of this morning no responses...the email was sent @ 9 am yesterday.....

When the computer broke @ lunch time again....the help desk said look we really are not obligated to help fix it now- since it is off a lease...so here I sit....with my computer working when it wants to and no help for us......

I just sent my boss another email saying look I need to sit down with you this is important....We will see!!!!

Bye sillies- off to attempt some work!

Tom, you're outta practice. When you do something like that, the proper response is "Wow that's easy to miss, I wonder how many other people totally screwed it up and never caught their mistake"

Jan-it,

Scott switched the board to another server last night, so that's probably why this happened. The change is now complete, so I'm sure if you re-post your avatar, it'll stick. :)

I just tried mine and it didn't work either. Hopefully Scott will be able to shed some light on this.....mine reverted to the kitty picture before on it's own. I'm wondering whether it lost some memory around the time all the Sam avs went up?

My avatar had regressed to one from about a week ago--the Emily & Peter photo. I have just reloaded my Samatar, so we'll see in a moment what shows up.

Edit: The reload was successful and Sam is back.

People. .. ..... . .. .do you really, honestly think that this glitch, this sudden, odd disappearance of all avatars featuring Sam Hill Manhead, was technically generated??

ONLY those pictures of S.H.

Only his.

He's playing with us, I am sure of it. .. ...Something is angering him, causing him to wreak minor havoc into our lives... . . ...

I need to get a new avatar. I am not sure which to go with a new Landen pic, new Silvia pic or something else....

WHAT IN SAM HILL???? :unsure:

I am Askeert NAY bereft at the loss of Burundian manatars!!!!

EDIT:...THEY'RE baaaack!!!!

Just back from the hospital - all went well with Al's leg op - many THANKS to all me sillies for your kind words and prayers :wub:

Al is STARVING!!...impatiently waiting for dinner, no pain (but holy crap!...he's had enough pain relief drugs to knock out a horse!!)

Oddly enough whereas for most the anaesthetic + drugs make them feel sleepy, Al goes the other way :huh: ....goes a bit hyper and is currently talking the hind leg off a donkey :lol:

The nurse comes out tomorrow to change his dressings and to check all is well.......NO school for at least 10 days!!!

OH, and NARY a scrap of gluten-freeness available on the day care unit......they kept trying to force a cheese sandwich on him :rolleyes: (I expected as much and took our own supplies) ...... slightly worrying nonetheless. :(

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By kim-d · Posted

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost all food there have gluten so I was going very hungry. They do offer a gluten free menu with a report though. So I decided I should try getting a diagnosis if I can, especially after reading how it was much harder to do gluten challenge after quitting gluten for a while. I was able to get an appointment for next week, and started eating around 150gr of bread per day to be sure.  First 24 hours I didn't feel any worse so I was starting to doubt myself, but then bloating hit hard. It wasn't anything unbearable, but the problem is I have finals soon and I'm now realizing this is a really bad time to do this. I can't begin studying from pain distracting me. I'm thinking of cancelling the appointment and eat low gluten until exams are over.  I worry about one thing. Before I went low gluten, I was eating a lot of bread already for over a month, which is what clued me into gluten, and I only went low gluten for around 10 days before going high gluten again. I wasn't that worried about a false negative. But if I eat low gluten until my exams are over, it means over a month of low gluten, and I would need a lot more time eating high gluten later to get a correct result.  I'm not sure which one should I do, bear it until my appointment or cancel it and try again when I'm free later. And If I choose the second one, how long would I need to do the gluten challenge for a blood test?
