Hmm mine is very borring. :) When I was in 9th grade I had to write a story about an alien that visited the Earth, so I named him by randomly iserting and removing letters from my frist name and came up with "Vydor". Later I wanted to regesiter on an astronomy forum, but my name was to short, so I added "Scope" to the end of it (which is comon slang for a telescope amongst cool ppl :P ).

I think my real name is more intresting cause if you translate it to its meaning, rougly you get "Victorus Conquer (of) Goldfish!" So all you ppl's with Koi pounds watch out ! :lol:

I like to paint and draw (watercolor, pencil, colored pencil and ink). Other artsie names were already taken so I ended up with this one. I kind of like it.

My mum can never remember whether my name starts with a K or a C, so she will use both, even in the same card. So it had to be Kaycee.

I just can't figure out what my mums problem is, she named me, so why or how can she get it wrong?

Cath (I think that's right)

I am mildly dyslexic and have never been a good speller. I named my son Jeffrey (or was that Jeffery) and for the life of me I can't be absolutely certain how I spelled it for his birth certificate. I often called him Jeff-er-ee - so that confused me even more. Yeah, can relate to your mother's spelling problems.

I oculdn't really think of a username, so I just chose beaglemania. Which obviously means I'm crazy about beagle puppies!!

Aeon - I've always loved the ae combination character too. There was someone on a message board that I used to go to named Maendi, which was her real name. I never did figure out how she pronounced it though.

Jules - I LOVE (!!!) the squiggles. I wish I would have thought of that. I may borrow the idea someday.

I've used Nantzie as a username since the dawn of time; since around 1995. It comes from my childhood. A friend of mine and I were being goofy with our names one day. She decided to be Melon-E and said I should be Nan-Z. We decided after saying my name a thousand times (like ya do...) that there was definitely a T in there somewhere and it evolved from there. I like it because I never have a problem finding a username that nobody has taken. B)

I've thought about figuring out a different username. Maybe I'll change it to Naentzie or ~Nancy~ someday. :D

Nancy

Naentzie! Oh I love it. I can just see the vein sticking out in someones forehead as they try to figure that out. :lol:

I have homeschooled a couple of times, but public school is a good fit for us at this point! :)

It is kinda fun to watch someone's eyes roll up in their head when I give my email address to someone already. If I throw in the ae, I can only imagine...

Reminds me of that Steve Martin movie with Sarah Jessica Parker. Her name was SaNDeE - "Big S, small a, big N, big D, little e, Big E, and then I put a little heart at the end." Sounds like a username to me...

Yea, us, too. It seems that most large families have homeschooled at one point or another.

Can you tell I like jeans. I must have about 30 pair. I won't buy sweats cuz they only look good the first couple times you wear them then they shrink and look sloppy. I have two sisters with the same obsession and we always talk about making a trip to Chicago and spending the whole day trying on jeans and eating.

Melannen is my name in Sindarin Elvish (according to Open Original Shared Link). There were a couple translations of Jessica (my real name) to choose from, but I liked Melannen best. Literally translated it means "Beloved One".

when my husband and I were dating, he suddenly called me snapple one day. I looked at him and very stupidly asked "Are you thirsty?" he said no, so I asked him what he meant. He told me he called me snapple because of their slogan "made from the best stuff on earth". I don't care who you are, that will make you melt ( I know I did). Anyway, I used it because I figured there were a ton of Kates out there but no snapples. Plus, it still makes me melt when he calls me that.

Mango, I know what a mango is, and I know what a tiki is, but is it the same tiki as in a New Zealand souvenir?

My real name is Nancy, but my daughter calls me mumsey. She loves British literature, and likes they way they refer to mother as "mum". Now that she is away at college, and look forward to her sweet little voice on the phone saying "hi mumsey".

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
