Had to check in again....just can't stay away! So.....I missed something somewhere along the line. Please explain Weenis colony....is that where I am? I thought it was bad that sometimes I'm not sure what day/time it is...now I don't even know where I am!

Welcome Tuh-reigh-suh!!!!

This place is quite addicting.........when school started at the end of summer and I had to go back to work, I had to go through a 10 11 step program to ease the withdrawal symptoms! :P

You are in Psillyville......Weenis colony is a very new development.....don't remember who originally used the word weenis (was it Soozie?), but once a fun word is introduced, it takes on a life of it's own.

Edit: Oops, now I see Em's post.....I was right!

I think weenis colony just started................ yesterday?

<I think I have 'blankie envy' >

Slinking BACK to me couch wiv Tiger Pig, tissues and Lemsip ...UGH!!!!!!!!!

TIGER PIG!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: that did give me a snort...........but what is Lemsip?

Gah!! Needed to hear those words again.....fantastic. FUCUS VESICULOSUS BLADDERWACK....will be my next "thing" I use when it's my turn in hangman.

OMG :lol: Just love that Leesah reminded us of this PHABULOUS term

AaaaHAAAA!!!! and I believe that Julie was the first to guess DENTURES!!!!!

:lol: It WOZ Chow's teef in the ho' tub!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look again, Em, they're there.......oh they're in there all right........

Thanks to all of you for the laughs these last few days. I really needed them. I love the little community that you've built up....will there be a community pool and park in the works? I expect to be peeking in now and again. I promise to make myself known from now on, so you won't feel like someone is reading over your shoulder. As Andy Rooney would say....."don't you just hate that?"

FLOUR GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: Yay, a new Psilly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saw you lurking the other day, SO VERY HAPPY you have joined us!!!!!!!!!!! :)

we ARE completely mad - but so harmless and nice :)

Woops, double posted somehow! :huh: I'll count that as the one dumb thing I'm going to do today.

just the one? :lol: oh - if I ONLY did one dumb thing a day......what a better place the world would be......

Sillyville=a weenal colony

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patti!!!!!!! :lol:

'Tis what we refer to 'round here as The Vortex. . . . ....it surrounds and engulfs all of us regularly. Just plan to be late for things, not get half the items checked off on your daily "to do" list. . . . ...perhaps get fired.......

The tradeoff is splendid..... . ....

this cracked me up :lol: :lol:

I would have to agree on the straightening products, or what I have seen categorized here as "smoothing" products. To this day I am stilll searching for the perfect product for me own hair (and I suspect I will forever be looking for it ) so I don't have any specific brand I can recommend Sooze.....I am currently testing out a smoothing serum by Biolage, but all the brands seem to have a smoothing line.

And Nikki is right, these serums and such you must use sparingly and with caution. They are oils so you could have a greasy mess on yer hands if you over use.

Julie! emotional and luvvy :wub: I know - this time of year is full of expectation and joy - my gosh, it just wasn't that way for me for decades - - SO happy to not hate the whole month of december any more!!!!!!

the hair products :angry:

oh yeah - I've used tons of syrums - - keep thinking I"ll find the Holy Grail that will make my hair perfect - never happens -

HARRUMPH

Heaven help us if Em designs us a Weenal Colony Crest!!!

pseriously :lol:

oh Patti! a crappy cold - poopy cow!!!!!!! get your blankie and your kitty and feel better!!!!!

Amanda - you MUST call in sick to have some quality time with your kitteh!

This place is quite addicting.........when school started at the end of summer and I had to go back to work, I had to go through a 10 11 step program to ease the withdrawal symptoms!

Amanda, I guffaw out loud whenever I see your splendid av. . .. .. .. one of the best. ..

:lol::lol:

Okay, this evening I went to the December meeting of the (Ottawa chapter) Celiac Association. As I was making my way into the hall, I noticed a young woman in front of me lumbering along on CRUTCHES (I will never look at them the same way again).

Well, I realized something. First of all, her rubber ends were grEY.

More importantly, however - - the crutches were aluminum. Mygawd.....that is how behind the times I am, how very out of the loop. Are there no longer wooden crutches anymore? Likely not. I guess that's how long it's been since I've interacted with such things......I have never broken or twisted a leg/ankle; neither have either of my kids. I believe Will briefly hobbled around on crutches twenty` years ago.

So, with the disappearance of wood, so went the brick-coloUred tips. NO other coloUr could have worked with the wood, and brick red would look ridiculous, somehow, with the metallic finish of today's models.

So there. THAT'S why there are so phew brick-coloured rubber crutch-tips nowadays. That bit of out history is gone with the wood, Ptaoughmghmn!!

:lol:

Weenal is a posited adjective form of Weenis, Soooozie's sudden, hilarious term for "penis" (if you have any interest in learning the ASL signage for this word, we have this available in our exhaustive thread, as well - - go back about 300 pages).

Since we, as an exclusive group here in The Pville, have been known to digress fairly regularly into such subject matter, Patti brilliantly referred to us a Weenal Colony.

Who is our Commanding Officer? General? Colonel? I should think it'd best be Ptaoughmghmn or POeter, since they actually own weenii. . . . ...

Well, I don't know about this. Somebody here seems to be obsessed with a certain body part.

The sillies have already seen my thumb and have had a peek at my balls. Tom and I are the only current sillies who possess what all the women seem to be interested in. Do I need to provide a picture of my tool? :D

I don't know dick about what to say next. B)

It's been almost a year since my last perm.......so expensive!

So when I do have the money, will it be highlights or perm?

      Gluten free parakeet food

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

What is the normal range for your daughter’s test?  Antibodies can hang around in the body for a while. Even if her result is not yet in the normal range, going from more than 100 to 9 in a few months is great! Good job, mom.

Her liver, iron, vit d are all normal again and she has grown 2 inches and gained 4.5 pounds in just 4 months! It's amazing. But her tTG is still at 9. Is that normal or should it be zero? Is she still getting gluten? We are SO strict. We don't eat out.  She was previously having tummy pain still. I cut oats completely 3 weeks ago and that is gone.  Can gluten-free oats raise tTG? Would I know based on symptoms? I was going to try her on oats again now that she doesn't say her tummy hurts anymore.  Also, our house is gluten free apart from one loaf of bread my husband uses. He makes sandwiches on a plate then puts it in the dishwasher. Yesterday when my celiac kids weren't home, my youngest and I ate "real" pasta. I was SO careful. All pans went in the dishwasher, I didn't spill any, I cleaned the sink I drained it in. Today my girl has her dermatitis herpetiformis rash back and had a huge hour long meltdown then fell asleep. Just like before diagnosis. Is it that hard to avoid cross contamination? Will one crumb off the plate or me cooking pasta when she's not home get her?  Again, we do not eat out, she's not in school yet, and she doesn't eat anything I don't give her.

      Hi, @thejayland10, Do you still consume dairy?  Dairy can cause increased tTg IgA levels in some people with celiac disease who react to casein, the protein in dairy, just like to gluten.   You might try cutting out the processed gluten free foods.  Try a whole foods, no carbohydrate Paleo diet instead, like the AIP diet (the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself). Processed gluten free foods can be full of excess carbohydrates which can alter your microbiome leading to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  SIBO is found in some people who are not responding to a gluten free diet.  SIBO can elevate tTg IgA levels.  The AIP diet cuts out sources of carbohydrates like rice, potatoes (nightshades), quinoa, peas, lentils, legumes, which starves out the SIBO bacteria.  Better bacteria can then proliferate.   I followed the AIP diet to get rid of my SIBO.  It's a strict diet, but my digestive tract had time to rest and heal.  I started feeling better within a few days.  Feeling improvement so soon made sticking to the AIP diet much easier. References: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth among patients with celiac disease unresponsive to a gluten free diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7759221/   Luminal antigliadin antibodies in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9260801/#:~:text=Luminal total IgA concentrations (p,response to local bacterial antigens.   Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.
