B)B) BBBBBAAAAADDDDD BOY is different than bad man, lol. My whole "forum universe" has been tilted, I had thought he was a combination of Marlon Brando in "Wild One" and Batman. (Not Michael Keaton batman, Val Kilmer batman). I will adjust, maybe he is Johnny Cash bad. Slightly bad, but nice. :ph34r:

Hmmm, do you own a black leather biker jacket and a beatnik hat?

Hey PyroSteve!

You can't fool us - you're just a cuddly teddy bear underneath that gruff exterior!

wow. instant celebrity--- what's your thoughts on this Steve???? You gain no large paycheck. no real fame & no royalities, so it must just be your charm & wit... Enjoy your fame as I think we all are fickle & it will be onto something else soon....keep posting,venting is good for the soul......

mamaw

I'm all for it .. I mean all publicity is good publicity?

I figured I'd let it run even after mouse probably summed it up best in the second post.

I don't always say things the best way because of many reasons ... I do have work to do between posts for instance ... but also because sometimes a thread needs a good hard shake too. (and my glutened personality sometimes fights through as well)

But its nice to know I have friends who forgive me; because that's what friends do... I don't wanna single anyone out and miss people but its nice when someone says "we don't always agree BUT ...." because that is what friends are there for.

its probably too late and your girlfriend has seen the kitchen...

Lucky she was understanding - I left a pot of chicken stock on last week and went to meet her and forgot and we had charcoal smoke in the appt and neighbours knocking when we got back!

She also sliced her hand on the parma ham slicer at work ... by being distracted so she was more concerned I wasn't hurt.

even if his new hair is a touch...mullettish..
ouch :unsure:

Hmmm, do you own a black leather biker jacket and a beatnik hat?

I've got the jacket ... but not really a biker one.... My friend John, lecturer, poet and ex-lawyer does but then he actualy is a 'real beatnik' in every sense of the word.

Grrrrrr! Just typed out a really long post and hit submit and lost it! Will try this again!

Steve, I don't think your hair looks "mulletish" at all. To me, it looks more like the intellectual university professor type cut......

I hope you didn't take offence to me calling you PyroSteve. I try to find humour in all situations...... as you can tell from my signature! LOL!

Years ago, my dad, who owns a farm just west of Toronto, was burning some leaves/shrubs/brush. He doused it with gasoline, and had a "not too bright" moment. He lit it before he put the gas can down. The subsequent explosion put him in the Wellesley Burn Unit for over 3 months with 3rd degree burns over 40% of his body. He flatlined twice in the first two days. We definitely thought we were going to lose him.

Once he recovered enough to know that he eventually was going to pull through, but had a long, hard battle ahead of him, I decided he needed a bit of humour. I went to K-Mart (this was when we still had those, we don't anymore......) and they had one of those "Create Your Own Card" machines. This obviously was before today's day and age of computer software! I picked the card that started with "Sorry to hear __________________" and you typed in the rest. I typed "Sorry to Hear that you got Blown Up". Needless to say, it was the first time since the accident that he really laughed. To this day, he says that on the particular day I had brought him that card, he was having a really painful day and just wanted it to all end and my card made him turn the corner and gave him renewed strength.

Just a footnote: He has fully recovered, and in true Newfie fashion, has turned a disaster into a plus. See, his skin and complexion now look at least 10 years younger than it did before the accident. We still tease him about his "poor man's plastic surgery".........

Hugs.

OMG!!! you should have put a warning here! I was sucking in through a straw on my smoothie and I about snorted it through my nose when I read this!!! LOL!

That is the funniest card I think I've ever heard of, glad he ended up being ok and had a good sense of humor about your card! You are a trip!

My mom did something to me when I had to have a frontal craniotomy as a teenager (brain surgery)... they cut me from ear to ear and left me with a bald head and a incision that looked like frankenstein... My mom bought me a pair of Zipper earrings to wear and told me to tell people who looked at me funny that I could unzip my head anytime I wanted to... Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

In the course of most of our days, most ppl we meet in our daily offline lives will tend to agree with us over all... after it is normally simular likes/tastes/etc that draw ppl. On a forum like this one where the "comon factor" that brings us together is unrelated (for the most part) to personal tastes, and instead is a heath issue, we tend to come face to face with a lot more drastic differences of opinions/beliefs/etc. I personally feel that is a very healthy thing, esle a person tends to stop thinking, and growing...

Thats just my take on it. :D

I think you're right. I also play the flute and experience this same type thing through music where the only thing many of us have in common is that we play in the same musical group. I found music to be a healthy addition to my life where I could meet people who are very different than I am. Most of my other circles are people with similar faith and ideas to my own.

Hijacking thread a bit to comment on Nini & CdnKaren's posts.

When Walker was about 4 or 5 months old we spent a few days in Calgary (we'd been living in Edmonton) and our niece Riana, 8 at the time, was very concerned because she couldn't find Walker's soft spot. She asked me where it was, and I shrugged and said that I didn't really go around feeling his head and I was sure it was no big deal. She proceeded to have every adult at the party to feel his head, and I was so paranoid that at his next check up I mentioned it to the doctor. She couldn't find it either and arranged for an X-ray to make sure that it hadn't "fused" together (or whatever they call it) too early or his head would grow all crooked and he'd need a special helmet or else surgery.

Now we mention all the time: Remember when you were a baby and had your head examined and they couldn't find a thing?

He always insists that they found a brain.

Another brief hijack...

I was looking more constructively at your haircut, gfp, and it's true, it is not a great example of a classic mullet, but it just needs mussing up, or brushing back of the bangs. Yes, that's it...if we brushed back your hair so we could see your forehead completely--stupendous. ;)

If we begin another thread on hair, we will HAVE to mention Timothy's incredible locks. Vincent, every time you post I am transfixed by your boy's unbelievable hair!

That's what we've all been telling him! I'm sure he's messed it up by now, but we just haven't seen a picture. BTW, I started a hair thread so we wouldn't hijack this one ... go ahead and mention that red hair there!!

You guys have got me laughing so hard I've got tears rolling. Between the Sorry you got blown up card, to the zipper earring, and now the mullet-o-rama, I'm laughing my booty off here.

Did you guys ever notice that the word mullet never appeared anywhere until "they" decided that they were out of style?

LMAO!!!! Okay that mullet has to go! Oh and yah it does seem they didn't have a name until they went out of style, weird :blink: Sheesh back in the day (high school 4 me) everyone had a mullet and it wasn't a big deal, lol, now since billy ray cyrus took it way too far its a big hair cut no-no! Oh how funny.... :D

I still can't figure out what is so wrong about mullets....

Vincent, your's is the most extreme I've ever seen...

Then there's the mullets that are more balanced between top and bottom of head.

Mullets seem like a "compromise" hair style and that sounds like a good thing. Who exactly decided that mullets were "out" of style? Who makes up the rules?

I have family members who for the past 20+ years have been wearing the hairstyle where you cut your hair about 2 inches long and do a "poodle" perm to the whole head. Hasn't this style been "out" for a lot of years, but yet I don't hear a hue and cry over this. Obviously it's a convenient hair style for them. Gee, now if they only shaped it into a design....like trimmed hedges..or even a Mohawk.......

Well,

Live and let live.

I kind of jsut ended up with a mullet. I did cut it once whenI took a job as a manager at office depot. That was umm 1999 or so.... My MIL who does not like long hair on men (of course!) said about me with short hair "Its just not you!" heheh

BTW- The job was a easy, but pay was crumy, not realy worthy of a hair cut! :lol:

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
