Actually, I would say the car needs washed, but the kitchen one doesn't sound right. :blink:

Carla: Could it be the kitchen needs cleaning? Or I must go clean the kitchen? Or the kitchen's a d**n mess and I need to get off my a** and clean it. At least that's what I am saying to myself! :P:P:P

I am going to see my mom, or mama for the weekend, so all of you have a great one!

In New Jersey we never say "go to the beach" or "to the ocean"--we say "down the shore". Like, 'this weekend went down the shore.' :)

IN Central California, everyone says "going to the coast" (and could mean any beach in Central coast of CA) and for some reason it drives me crazy....probably because it's SO over-used in Match.com by Central Californians - "love going to the Coast....holding hands on the beach...." BLEH!!! am so sick of that and could throw up every time..... When I LIVED at the beach, in Monterey, we said we were goign to the beach.

I'd have to agree I couldn't find any fault in Renee Zellweger's English accent.

I actually think there are similarities in English + Southern accents.

Heck, 5 minutes in Lynne's company and I would be drawling like a native!!!!! :lol::lol:

I can't remember my linguisitic studies, OF COURSE (yeah, can't remember conversations I"ve had the same day so how could I?? :blink: ) but....as we know the southern US was settled mainly by WASPS....the accent is a fascinating amalgamation of British/Scottish and you can so easily hear it, just as you can hear so much Irish in New England. As people moved West - the melding of cultures made the accent more flat and indistinct. GFP - Steve- where are you?? I'm sure you know.....

oh dear....the dingos have a friend over, the little Westie from next door....Annie was displaying some inappropriate sexual behavior earlier today :o and I can hear them playing/fighting outside - - better check..... :lol:

Hi TAvi!! Yes, a little white West Highland Terrier......this little stinky menace (well - he's not been grooomed recently but he's not alwasy so stinky) drives me NUTS. has NO manners, no training, runs like the devil to try and get out.....knocks over plants.....but my dogs think he's such good, sporting fun.....um, tell me, is this normal....my Annie girl was, um, REALLY attracted to him and....grabbed him from behind.... :ph34r::lol: I have never seen her do this, ever, but apparently SHE really likes this Westie also!!

Tavi.....come and get the Westie.....he is a little devil and I"ll just tell the owner I don't know anything about it..... :lol: Either my dingos are really smart or this dog is just....so stupid.....

If you meet someone who grew up not so far from here -- maybe even 30-40 miles out -- you will hear ALL kinds of southern "hick" sayings!!! Fix'n is a standard. "I'm fix'n to make dinner" "I'm fix'n to whoop your tail" . . . also, if they're fairly southern, you wouldn't wake up "In the morning." You'd wake up "of a mornin'" So, if you put it together, you would say, "I was fixin' to try to get a hair appointment as soon as I got up of a mornin'"

So just exactly what's wrong with "fixin' to to do something"?

Except that around here, it's "fisin' to"....like prounouncing the entire "x" is too much effort so you just say the "ssss" part of the sound. "I'm fisin' to clean the kitchen."

Another Southerner!!!!! So y'all are fisin' to do somethin? That's great! I told my husband that we were discussing accents, and that I really didn't think I had that much of one, that everyone ELSE sounded northern. The man was busting a gut laughing!

Hey Nikki -- I told my husband about the incident when I was a teenager and the English accent. I did it with the same accent. His eyes got a little more wide and he said, "You're GOOD at that . . . . " :lol::lol::lol: I thought it was pretty funny! Then I went on to say that you could pick up a southern drawl within 5 minutes after being around someone with a southern accent, and the discussion went on about southerners / Englanders and their ability to pick up dialects. I told him about the reference to Bridget Jones' Diary. He said, "Oh, yeah."

Don't know what your standard "goodbye" is in England, but ours is just usually, "see ya"!!!!!! :P

Talk to you soon, my friend!

Hey Lynne,

If you want a really cool twist added to your accent, I'll drop you in Newfoundland for a week! After spending time with my relatives even at something as short as a wedding reception, I start picking up the "Newfie" accent!

Hugs.

Karen

In movies New Jerseyians are shown as using the word "joisey" for Jersey and I don't know anyone here in NJ tht speaks that way. And I too would say " I want a large chocolate milkshake" if I were in McDonald's ....so people from Boston order a milkshake in a different way?

I've worked with people from NY who say "laww-ya" for lawyer and "bott-el" for bottle and "soder" for soda.

The idea that English/Scotch settled in south while Irish settled in New England, which makes the difference in accents is fascinating and I can see the melding of the midwest making the flat speech.

I agree I lived in NJ for 20ish years, never once heard anyone call it "joisey" , but the funny thing is whenyou want to order a "pie" in NJ, you dont mean pumpkin! :lol:

Now there's an accent I can't get my tongue round.It's sort of Irish/Americanish???

Unlike anything I've ever heard!!! :blink:

Check this out...

Funny thing is you put us all in a room together we'd probably be saying ''what-pardon-eh,can you talk slower?!!''

See Ya!!! :lol:

Nikki,

I howl every time that commercial comes on TV! My cousins (and I have 102 FIRST cousins!!!) all talk like that. I am quite used to the Newfie accent, but even I can't understand what some of them say!

Hugs.

You know what......people have different patterns to their lives and they change. I used to read much more stuff on this board than I do now, especially when I first went gluten-free. I come on and scan the topics, read what I want and don't get too bent out of shape over any of it anymore. Occasionally there is something I want to reply to, if I feel it would be interesting, otherwise I just read and go. I still am trying to find out what happened to the young man who used to post so frequently and was was past his years in intelligence, I think it was celiac3270. Anyone know?

celiac3270 is still a member and posts every now and then. He is involved with a Celiac teen group at Columbia (I think that is the one). He of course has a very high GPA and is involved in other teen activities. I think he is in charge of the newsletter for the Celiac teen group. In other words, he is extremely busy in such wonderful healthy, giving and intellectual activiites. He is such a wonderful young man and how proud his parents must be.

Yeah, he's really something else . . . . .

A Newfie, huh? I'd have to darken my hair! (well, I'd have to put dark over the bleached out part, and HOPE that it covered the gray!) I could be a Newfie . . . from what I understand, Karen, your family is a tad on the wild side? Hmmmmm.........

Gonna tell you now . . . if you guys got in a room with me, you would DEFINITELY not be telling me to talk slower!!!!! Ask Karen!!

METTA!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D I didn't get to talk with you today . . . we were out all day (started early -- actually went to my nephew's flag football game -- not bad, huh?) and then shopped for Mark's birthday. Having some rumblings from the "fam" . . . . . all-inclusive, if you know what I mean. They're all a little shaken up. I have a feeling that my PT called my mother. I have had more offers for rides in the past 24 hours than I've had in the past 6 months. Wish that getting up early(ier?) had made a difference in my insomnia, but I have an appointment to get that taken care of.

You know what the funniest thing is about you saying that I need to talk louder? Prior to being diagnosed with ADHD and being put on Ritalin, I had only one volume -- EXTREMELY LOUD. I had no sense of voice modulation. I was working for a PT company at that time, and a doctor's office was across the hall. They could hear me all the way in the BACK of their office in their STORAGE ROOM!

My friend from Cuba that I told you about, Madeline -- she was a patient there when I first started taking the medication. She walked in and we walked back to a treatment room, and she said in her little cuban accent (although she's been in the states 31 years -- go figure!) "Leeeen, what is wrong? You're not bouncing when you walk?" I just said, "Oh, I didn't notice." Then she said, "Leeeeen, you're not laughing and joking like you usually do." I said , "Oh, well, I haven't gotten wound up yet, I guess." Then she said, "Leeeen, your voice -- it is so QUIET ---- ARE YOU SMOKING DOPE???????!!!!!!!!" Yeah, well that's a great way to keep a job! I said, "No Madeline, but I did find out some interesting information . . . " then went on to tell her. She said, "Well stop taking that Sh**. I want the old Leeen back." When people tell me to please speak up, it just makes me giggle. Beats the heck out of having them tell me to shut up most of my life!!!

Hi Nikki :)

i've only just picked up on this thread. I too catch accents really easily. I grew up 'down south' so my accent ought to be 'Queen's English' but, since living in the midlands, my southern friends have said I've developed a brummie accent. Surely not!! And when posting here, I have to fight the urge to 'say' hey instead of hi!

Vincent; from I understand it, the reason why you'd order "pie" for pizza in NJ is that word pizza in Italian (might) mean "pie" in English. Now this is the reasoning I got from my Italian side of the family.

Thank you :D ... I've just been ridiculously busy-- I'll be back like I used to be over the summer; I try to read, but I don't have time to post. ;)

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
