Not much for me to say tonight. We have had two days of quiet this weekend, and now expect to be working every day from now until Christmas.

Sarah, we're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. :wub:

Emily, no snow expected here, but it is bloody cold--expected to hit -15 overnight. Brrrr. That is enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, as they say. :ph34r:

My guess is:

Baked some gluten-free projectiles.

and. from me folks:

FRANK

A man walked out to the street and caught a taxi just going by. He

got into the taxi, and the Cabbie said, "perfect timing. You're

just like Frank."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all

the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things

happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could

have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros.

He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and

you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."

Cabbie: "There's more ... He had a memory like a computer. He

remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which

foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix

anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street

blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right."

Passenger: "Wow, some guy then."

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid

traffic jams. Not like me. I always seem to get stuck in them.

But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to trea

t a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back

even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always

immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He

never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank

Feldman."

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank. He died and I married

his f**king widow."

Doctors' Opinion of Financial Bail-Out Package:

The Allergists voted to scratch it, and the

Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the

Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve, and the

Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

The Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. The

Pathologists yelled, 'Over my dead body!' while the

Pediatricians said, 'Oh, grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the

Radiologists could see right through it, and the

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the

Plastic Surgeons said, 'This puts a whole new face on the matter.'

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the

Urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the

Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the

Proctologists left the decision up to some a$$holes in Washington

Brass monkey balls .. . . . .. :lol:

Hmm....a Burundian brass monkey?

Beaverly Snackle South Tower.... . :lol:

Jack did leave with a li'l suitcase, containing what, I just dunno, as he insisted on packing it himself. Mehopes Will had a peek inside it before they left, as I have a growing suspicion that The Ripper would have prioritized the following:

Four pairs running shoes

One T shirt

One pair underwear

Twelve pairs sports socks

Three baseball caps

And the final thing: his yo yo.

Yep, that's probably the entire contents of that li'l suitcase. . .....I'm starting to feel a bit pleased that I'm not there . . .. . . :rolleyes:

Leeesa missed Michael Bolton! Well.......um.....I would have been somewhat relieved to have missed him, I'm afraid... . . . .. :ph34r: .... . . he don't do nuttin' fer me . .. . ..

He ain't no Frank.......!

But then, no one else is. . . ..

Michael Bolton? I have to ponder this......I would not be sad if I'd missed seeing Michael Bolton

But - David Hasselhoff - would be very disappointed to miss that one :lol:

Does it have something to do with hair?

Gail came over around 3 for frothy screwdrivers. Oh my, they were delish. Well, we ran out of vodka early on, and we realized we were not feeling quite as silly as we thought we should be feeling, so we drove to Trader Joe's and got some Patron A

Okay, I guess I have to deal with all this interest in my tool.

I possess a wonderful tool. It is 9-1/2 inches long and is steel-hard. It is rounded at the end with a hole in it. It works best with a repeated motion, and it can be operated with only one hand.

Click here to see it. :ph34r:

Hey! Just got an email from The Ripper. Nikerler, if you don't know the accuracy of this "fact" that Jack has told me, please check it out, as I must know if it is true:

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England, but only in tropical fish stores.

      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.  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:

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
