But wait . . . according to all the teen magazines on the racks at the checkout, feathered hair is back IN. Farrah Fawcett, you're in style again (especially since she basically never changed it)!!!!!

Okay, I just have to chime in here. Yep the feathers are back! I am not of that generation, I'm generation X, that grew up. I yes occasionally feather my layers, Its back and people are luvin it! OMG! just the other day I saw a girl walking down the street who had "leggings" under a mini skirt, with a horizontally striped shirt! Okay heck no! The 80's need to stay in the 80's!!! I just think back to wham, and maddona. Lol...And I must say back when I was in jr. high and high school, the deal was to have your bangs as high up as you could get them with aqua net? Anyone remember this? You could have had a really good ski-jump with alot of air off of my bangs in the 9th grade!

My little sister had that! We had this fountain here . . . it was in the middle of the river, and it made a Fleur de Lis shape. . . We used to call that hairstyle the Louisville Falls Fountain 'do! It was AWFUL. I have some really "blackmail ready" pics of my sister with that hairstyle. ICK!

So, the chicken was not a good idea after all.... :(

"Loo roll" :D sounds nicer, somehow than "toilet paper" :lol: But sorry it wasn't there when you needed it--that's adding insult to injury!

Hope you're better today :)

Alert! I have recently seen a few women (not men yet, thank gawd) sporting the feathered-back look again. Horrors. Actually, aren't mullet-haired guys often married to women who have the perpetually feathered-back, blonde 'do? I think so...you guys from Alberta? Southern States?

No, to all your questions. When I started my current hair style I was single living in NJ. My wife now has very long straight brown all one lenght. Used to be longer, but she donated 10 or 12 inches to Lock of Love.. its still like 3/4ths the way down her back though. She plans to donate more again.

Fast? Try a more then a dozen years. It is like anything else, unless you put the time/effort in, you wont get the results. :P

Reminds me of about 5 years ago, I was in the washroom at work. It was in an office building that you have a washroom with about 7 stalls to service the whole floor. I was in there and was in such a rush to go (what else is new..... <_< ) that I didn't even look for toilet paper before I sat down. Well, lo and behold, there wasn't any left in there. What did I do? I whipped out my cell phone and called one of the girls in my office to come down the hall and hand me some! Hey, worked for me! :lol:

Hugs.

Yep--tissues! I *never* go out without them in my purse. Saved my butt more than once. Sorry, couldn't resist :lol::ph34r:

In my younger days I worked for a land surveyor. I worked outside year round, in good weather and bad. Now mind you this was waaaaay before I was diagnosed, so it hadn't yet occurred to me to carry a couple of tissues with me into the great outdoors. On this particular day, in the middle of January, I was struck with the urge in the middle of the woods, with about 18" of snow covering the ground. I did quite a dance to get my snowshoes off, dig a quick cat hole and peel off the 3 layers of clothing between me and relief. I didn't have time to plan for "the paperwork"...So I'm out there *ss hanging in the chilly wind wondering how I'm gonna freshen up. I checked my pockets, and cam up with a couple of lint balls, no tissues. I contemplated sacrificing a glove, but it was cold enough that I didn't want to end up sacrificing my finger later in the day. I finally made the decision to "powder" :huh: myself clean. I thought I was prepared for how cold that snow was going to be- :blink: but believe me, there area places that you DO NOT WANT FROSTBITTEN!

From that day on I always carried a handful of tissue with me. :o

Yea, I loved that hairstyle, but mine was a much tamer, shorter on top version. We lived in LA at the time, some girls hair was standing so high I'd hate to be behind them in the movie theater!!! :lol:

ROFLMAO!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

I live in a huge university town with a plethora of fashion-conscious sorority girls -- which tends to skew my sense of style at times (as I discover whenever I actually leave to go up North). Anyway, I swore I wasn't going to do any 80's fashion again, but I actually found myself trying on a pair of leggings the other day under an item of clothing that was too long to be a tunic and too short to be a dress (it was this gorgeous embroidered kimono-type top -- not in my size, however).

Just narrowly escaped buying the leggings, but I'm starting to wonder how long I'll hold out?

I'm with you there. I don't really like how they wore it in the 80's, but some of the ways they're showing today are actually cute. Have to be careful though, I think the look with the short denim mini and leggin's isn't meant for those over 40, even if they're fit enough for it!! But some of the other looks, I think I can get away with.

I've already bought my "skinny" jeans. One benefit to being this thin is that's a style not everyone can (read should) wear. If they add 10 pounds to my look, which is fine, I hate to think what it'll do to the non-celiac general public!

Just make sur that you get the XXXXL shirt (with some phrase in 10" block letters on it - ala WHAM!) and an extra wide belt to match. If you're gonna do it, go whole hog! See above on appropriate hair. :P

Man, spandex leggings got me through both pregnancies, and they were very passe by then (mid-nineties). Just threw a huge, long sweater or blouse over them, and I was good to go. What a practical outfit that was...great for PMS or glutening bloat and/or sudden weight gain. Let's start a collective rally to bring leggings with big tops back!

Now that George Michael and Elton John have ended their feud, maybe George has some free time? He could be your spokesman? He could also advise on how to get that perfect feathered look too! :lol:

Steve . . . . . well, what can I say. You certainly have "the goods" to have someone ask your girlfriend for tissues. You have my utmost respect. Not going to say any more.

Man, I love you guys!!!!!

It's only funny because we can all picture ourselves in that place ... and I don't know which would be worse, that or Steve's place with no TP in a pub!! In Steve's place, I'd have used my cell phone to call for tp though.

When I was sick and we didn't know what it was, we were supposed to take a hot air balloon ride. It never worked out though. I have no idea what I would have done if nature called in that situation! Back then, if I didn't eat, I was okay, so I guess I would have just skipped food for a while!

Just the thought of having to...um...use snow for that purpose is making my bum crinkle. You know, like that feeling when you peer over a ledge at a thousand-foot drop? Bum-crinkling. I dunno how else to describe that. :lol::lol:

I would rather have been where I was. I'm not big on public restrooms. That is another thread (a long one).

Your ballooning story brought to mind a book that my 4yo borrowed from the library "The Flight of the Dodo"- mind you HER MOTHER helped pick it out. It is about a penguin who is moinding his own business one day when *splat* a goose poops on him (This is a children's book! No wonder things are the way they are) he and his assorted flightless friends decide to take back the sky...They rig up a ballon type thing get airbourne and promptly get caught in a storm. Needing rescue (hold on I'm getting to my point) Penguin spots the flock of geese on the ground, and signals them the only way he knows how. He launches a well aimed bit of penguin paste. The Geese are startled and come to investigate, save the day yada yada.

My point is...scratches his head...it's not a bad skill to have? :blink::o:ph34r:

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
