How long have you been married?

Close to 30 years to a part-time husband for 26 (he traveled three to four days a week overseas) now he is retired full time. I have twice as much husband and half as much money. B)

My hubby travels, too, but not overseas, just in a five state area. We've been married for 22 years.

Wow, how time flies. Laura, tell that handsome hubby of yours that a nice diamond studded anniversary ring would be quite appropriate, a necessity when you go to all those black tie event in the city. Gotta keep up girl! :P (You get the good stuff in the early years and as the years pass you get the weed-eaters and leaf blowers). ^_^

If the date slips by me, I hope that you have a wonderful celebration.

xxoo

THREE YEARS, NO WAY! (yelling), man I gotta get a life. :o Looking for a project, any suggestions? I am a little depressed this week. I went to Roses to get a shower curtain liner and they gave me the Senior Discount and didn't even ask my age - I don't qualify. So have fun now, it gets a little pitsy in about 30 years.

Guess this whole thread is off topic in so many ways, but fun.

Ann, hope we have cheered you up a bit. Appparently, there are screws loose in many of us and I am first to stand up. :rolleyes:

Close to 30 years

That is FANTASTIC!! I love hearing about longevity in marriages! My parents have been married . . . . forever! Dave's parents were, too. I seriously don't like the fact that I was married only 7 years then divorced. Don't get me wrong . . . being in an abusive relationship is NOT what life is about. And, all my experiences brought me to where I'm supposed to be -- with Dave. I just know that chances are, we're not going to be married 50 years. I'd be 91!! Although, that would still be TEN YEARS younger than my grandmother was!! Okay, maybe I don't feel so bad! I look forward to growing old with Dave. We will be a fun old couple.

Lisa, almost 30 years is great. Pretty cool.

A LITTLE bit goofy?????!!!!! <_<

A horse walks into a bar . . . . .

Bartender asks: "Why the long face?" :P

Just warming up. Haven't gotten to the "hind lick maneuver" stage yet.

ONE BIG MASSIVE ALTOID??????? My question would be "which party will be the recipient of such a curiously strong peppermint? Simply a question, that's all. :ph34r:

BTW: Forgot the rest of the backg-up singing:

Ba Ba Baba, Baba, Baba, Ba; Ba Ba Badag adag adag . . . Oh, forget it. I've been singing these lyrics over and over trying to get them out to write them, then I google'd it and can only get the stupid lyrics, not the backup lyrics for WAY too long. Poop. Sorry about that, for all you "GI" celiacs. You can get me back by saying, "Stagger." :lol:

OK Lisa

Now I understand what a blue moon is. Thanks for the insight! By the way I think you are all hylarious. Enjoy your mints!

Full moons always cause lunar madness and I am not joking. Ask anyone who works with emergency situations like police, nurses, doctors, fire, ems etc., they hate working a full moon. Our last full moon this month we had 5 stabbings alone just to do with my job and that was only for one night. As full moon madness is concerend it lasts for the night before and the night after also. So as the 31 is a Thursday and the blue moon once again the tail end will fall on my watch and it will be 10 times worse than any other full moon. The blue moon months are always worse than a normal full moon month.So, as the first full moon was very bad this month this next one will be just the worst.

I kid you not . . . . on full moons, when I was practicing, EVERYONE would call with some bizarre ache or pain and HAVE to be seen THAT DAY. Since I was out on my own, I needed as many visits as I could get. I would work from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. on full moons -- and the day before, and the day after. I actually marked them on the calendar on the receptionist's desk. ICK.

Yes!!! I am MUCH better off than when I realized we had 2 full moons this month!! Reading all these great posts has mellowed my grumpiness and reassured me I am in the right forum!! I love the far out humor, and downright nuttiness ! It really makes my day. This WONDERFUL group of folks is so neat to come home to every night. And my DH of nearly 31 years has finally gotten over the nightly competition for the forum! :lol:

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1! The reason you are seeing conflicting results when you research the length of time recommended for doing the "gluten challenge" is that the guidelines have recently been under revision. So there are two components: 1. amount of daily gluten consumption and 2. duration of that amount of daily gluten consumption Recently, the guidelines have been under revision because the medical community was sensing the previous standards were too relaxed, particularly in the daily amount of recommended gluten consumption. The more recent guidelines seem to be calling for higher amounts of daily gluten consumption over (perhaps) as shorter period of time. So, it is becoming a daily minimum of 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. Personally, I would recommend that amount of consumption be extended from two weeks to four weeks to ensure valid testing. Your Immunoglobulin IgA at 1.25. Was that within normal range? If that one is low, you are IgA deficient and other IgA test results cannot be trusted. But regardless of whether or not you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same, namely, a gluten free diet. What would you do different if you had a more confident differential diagnosis? And there are other reasons for the development of osteopenia/osteoporosis that you probably should explore. Are you on any serious supplementation for D3 and magnesium?

      The results of my blood tests after 4 weeks: *Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA —->   “<0.5 NEGATIVE” *Immunoglobulin IgA —-> “1.25” *Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG —-> “<0.5 NEGATIVE”

      Hi there, I have been scouring the forums, medical journals, celiac websites, speaking to my doctor and there seems to be a contradiction in the exact amount of time one must do the gluten challenge for a blood test. Let me please express my gratitude for taking your time to help! I will try and keep this short. In a nutshell, I am positive genetically for celiac. Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet. At a very young age, I had infertility, hair loss, low iron, stomach problems, neurological symptoms, continued low bone density etc. etc. all the symptoms that line up with celiac.  I could never get an “official diagnosis” because I was not eating gluten for years.   Recently, I had a bone density scan, and was shocked at the results. I am young and my low bone density is continuously lowering. This lead me  to seriously consider doing the celiac blood test to confirm if I actually have celiac. Years ago, I had an endoscopy and they did a biopsy saying it was negative for celiac - but I had been on a gluten free diet for years. Now, I asked my doctor if I can start the gluten challenge and get this over with. My doctor said two weeks then get the blood test. I have been having 2-3 pieces of bread daily. After four weeks of doing this, I went for the bloodwork - it came back negative for celiac. I am continuing to eat bread daily, it has now been over 6 weeks. I am not able to get an endoscopy. Please, from your experience how long really must I eat bread daily to ensure I do not get a false negative blood test for celiac? I have read up to 12 weeks. One doctor advised this is foolish to even do this gluten challenge as I am damaging my body. My other doctor said 2 weeks eat it, but it showed negative. But with my recent continuous lowering of bone density I personally need to rule celiac out.   Thank you VERY much for your help, I truly appreciate it!!

      Conflicting results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.
