I'm pooping in to comment on naughty pets

"Perhaps Weezee belongs to a small and select international group of pets called 'The magical pets'

Will (me cat) is a fully paid up member......... he can open my bedroom door with power of his wee cat mind....he just stares at the door and it opens!!!!!!!......thus giving him the chance to practice the dark arts of .. trampling over me head , knocking over the glass of water on me bedside cabinet AND batting me earrings off the table and around the room as if they were a live mouse"

My indoor fuzzer cat managed to let himself out the screen door and return to me under cover of darkness with a dead mouse in bed. They are sneaky sneaky critters.

I'm loving the statue head. I happened to pop in a few weeks ago when he appeared and got a good chuckle. Next thing I know, he's got his own modeling career going. He's quite a handsome fellow.

Thank you Dingo Girl for pointing out how grEy it is. The Scot in me can't spell it any other way.

The turkey stealing neighbor family needs a swift kick in the bum and to prepare the meal for granny next year. She shouldn't have to do all the cooking and cleaning at her age.

Soon to be popper-inner

Welcome Whiskers!!!!!

So glad you appreciate our Sam Hill . . . he's quite the travelor that one!! Lot's of kittehs on this thread and lots of alternative spelling . . . when you see something you don't recognize . . . Think FoeNetTickLee.

If you've been pooping in, you probably already know about Emily . . . don't let her scare you away . . . she always takes it up a notch when someone new posts . . . it's just a little test to see if you can handle the wacklness.

Nikkie - Marvelous MathS . . . now take the rest of the day to rest yer brain.

Susie - We had a dog that could open his kennel by the time he was 12 weeks. He also managed to chew through a door. Did you guys know that those hollow core door have cardboard in the cavity?

HEYYYYY.....Whiskers!!! :):) Methinks a Scot! Um.....Scotsman or woman?? .. . I'm thinking feminine. . .. . ..which actually could be male or female. Well, usually only men have whiskers . ......men and my mother's cleaning lady when I was very young....a little one-hundred year-old Polish lady, tight kerchief always in place 'round her head and neck. What was her name? . .... Mrs. Knowski. Yep, she had whiskers.

Mygawd. . . . . ...has she become a forum member??? Whiskers!! Are you Mrs. Knowski?? :o:lol:

Actually, I am certain that she had celiac. I remember little about her, but I DO recall her unbelievable gas, and how she would trudge into our downstairs bathroom and be in there for half an hour.

And she belched a fair bit. Yep, gaseous concerns. And I never connected it to possible gluten trouble until right now.

Imagine if it's her!! What a small world!

Mrs. Knowski? Did you ever read my diary that I had out on my dresser?

Like, ever??

And Yes! Why didn't we think of dusting for pawprints earlier???? [CSI-Clovis is in pre-production, according to the trades]

Speaking of which, I used to watch all CSIs but Miami [how does Caruso even get jobs???], but .. ...I dunno .. ..there are 3 or 4 of each (NY & LV) still on the DVR & I really REALLY do have too much to do to be watching so much tv anyway .. . ...time to nix 'em.

Em, I've made a decision. <fa

Well..... . I'm trying to remember how long she came to our house and cleaned . ... it was MANY years....she looked 100 when she started, and exactly the same when she trundled out our front door for the last time, many years later. Humming strange, Slavic-sounding hymns as she dusted, staring with consternation and probably horror at the back of my dad's closet door, where he would often hang the costume that he was to be wearing for that night's taping - - a sumo wrestler, a nun, a drag queen. . .... .. .Imagine the stories she took home to her husband?

I'm thinking we did NOT pay her enough. :lol:

Um....Whiskers, if you are Mrs. Knowski, please stick around and do NOT be frightened away. If you managed to clean my house for all those years, seeing what you did....hell, this is a walk in the park. . . . . . .... :lol:

PeOter and Jacquie MUST be Corner Gas phans!! Howevah, they are Torontonians - - quite a breed apart, them folk. . . . ... ;):P

Actually, we don't watch much TV at all, and never got into CG (my brother Rob likes it). We do all three CSI shows, despite Caruso/Caine who is one giant pompous ass.

And, Emily, remember that I was born in your sleepy little burg of Ottawa, across the street from the farm. :lol:

One of my grandparents was of Scottish descent. She was born in Canada.

I'll bet you would never have guessed that I have NINE, count 'em, NINE, ten and eleven-year-old kids running around me house....The Ripper's birthday party is tonight (it's on Boxing Day, so we have his party now, before the Christmas insanity sets in).

There is much screaming coming from downstairs.

Livingstone. My great-great-grandfather, James Livingstone, was born on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, in February 1810. He came to Canada with his wife, Mary McMillan, and their newborn daughter in 1843, settling in Wellington County, Ontario, where they had nine more children. James was a cousin of Open Original Shared Link according to family history.

Hi Sillies!

Just pooping in.....

I Bubbled and I Squeaked yesterday!!

Turned out pretty good. I have eaten way too much the last 3 days. Have been bumming around in leisurely loose clothing, and like a bump on a log....or a blob on a log :lol:

BUT, I did get a few things accomplished. Put away all the Thanksgiving decorations and got up all the Christmas decorations (except for outside because it's been cold and snowy :D )...will have to wait for this week when it warms up to finish that part. It's looking quite festive around here :D

Cards and shopping is next, but I ordered a few presents on-line today so I got a good start.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Ripper!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi to Whiskers!!

I was going to say Bev was probably in a chocolate coma :lol: , but I see she pooped in also!

Sooze's CSI and muddy paw prints :lol:

And Nikki is literally Barking Mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend :)

Sounds lurvely!

Went to three stores for me tree. harrumph - did not find it.

because dang, the potted, live, ATTRACTIVE trees are now $50 and up - that is NOT going to happen - I can't even plant it here in Stepford and, even if I could - too much money. Seems I used to get good four- to five-foot trees in Monterey for around $25......those days are gone.

Haven't had a tree in more than - six years? So - maybe a small, already cut tree :ph34r:

Hey, it's not my fault, they were going to be cut down whether I bought one or not, right?

Might be time for the annual viewing of The Holiday <cozy!!!!!!>

so dull here. Really dull. Watching movies, reading the paper, and getting NOTHING done this evening. Blah.

:mellow:

oh - and this is scary -

Someone I met on match.com over FOUR YEARS ago just emailed me tonight. :unsure:what in hell? I didn't even know his name and - he has saved my email address for this long? we had one coffee date......that was it - then I fell madly in love with that man who is obsessed with Bulldog football, some of you may recall......anywho, he is STILL on match. He is a DWEEB (is that mean? :ph34r: 'tis a fact). Oh, he also sent a link to a Kodak site with over 300 photos (I looked at about 12) and - about 295 of those are of his STUPID motorcycle and vast expanses of highway/scenery. Should I just tell him how much I hate motorcycles? (sorry Lisa :lol: ) I mean, is he trying to impress me?

I"m going to take the IGNORE route, no reply whatsoever.

I hate being single. :lol:

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      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

      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.
