You can practice and get someone's notes on the lecture later.

ROFLMAO

That is hysterically funny!

And the LAPTOP??? Nooooooo . . . . .

Pedicure? Yes. Toenail Polish? No. Enough Said.

The look on your wife's face when you tell her that you can't go away on a romantic weekend with her because you'll miss the Celiac Forum's full moon extravaganza . . . . . . . . priceless.

OMG -- BEV -- just saw your Avatar --- You are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now i am LMAO. If your toenails look like that, your wife must be awfully brave to have married you. Best laugh I've had ALL day. Dude- where do you get this stuff?

Sorry, I couldn't resist :P

Those aren't really my toes BTW! My wife should be used to it though, my father-in-law and 2 of my brothers in law have feet that look like that :blink: Maybe I'm the brave one?

Gross story:

My father-in-law once sat down at the kitchen table (his house) with a pair of those heavy duty Cutco kitchen scissors and gave himself a "pedicure". :o:blink:

Welcome to my world! :ph34r:

To quote Dana Carvey as Bush #1 - "...nawt ganna do it..."

Richard that's disgusting .... actually, you'd like a pedicure ... you don't HAVE to get polish, but you do get a nice foot massage and soak!

Mary made me get a manicure for our wedding. It was weird. I don't like people fondling my hands, well at least strangers.

So here's my random thought of the day....

The kids were watching Toy Story 2 when I left the house this A.M., so on my way to work I'm thinking how cool is Buzz Lightyear, I wish I had THAT when i was a kid. Then i got to thinking what did i really want to have when I was a kid, but never ended up getting...the very first thing that popped into my mind was a box of 64 Crayola's, you know, with the built in sharpener :rolleyes:

We buy the cheap-ee crayons, so my kids will probably want the same thing when they get older (wishful thinking, more like an i-Pod!)

So what funny things did everybody dream about when they were young and impressionable?

Ha! My mom bought me lots of Crayola boxes with sharpeners!! I was quite the artists, too.

I was terribly spoiled ... by all my grandparents and parents ... so I can't think of anything I wanted and didn't have except for an older brother.

I wanted a Barbie Doll and a maxi coat. I did have the 64 Crayola box with the sharpener--always hated to use them--they all looked so perfect and new at the start of the school year.

Silly Putty

I had some when I was around 7yo but it got left in my jeans pocket w/out the case and when my jeans went through the dryer......well, lets just say mum was not very happy with me. To this day she does not allow it in the house :ph34r:

And I always wanted an older brother, still do

I have a Silly Putty story--one Sunday morning when I was maybe 7, everyone was getting ready for church. I decide to try to try transferring the Sunday comics onto my Silly Putty (like they did on TV). So I'm laying on the living room rug, and flatening the putty to get it ready. Trouble is, I'm pressing it into the carpet while doing this--*and it dosen't come up* :o

Suffice it to say the parents were not happy with me--thank goodness we had to get to church.... :unsure:

Of course, that ended the stuff in the house :(

weird but it's nice to know I'm not the only kid that had to grow up w/out silly putty :P;)

I always thought it was more fun then play-doh or clay. play-doh left crumbs everywhere and the color of the clay always rubbed off onto my hands. but silly putty was cool, I always liked to see how far I could stretch it w/out it breaking :)

Does anyone remember the Mayor Art show on television? I was on it one time, and he would pick some kids out of the audience and ask them to tell a joke. If he picked you and you told a joke then you got to pick a game to take home.

I remember having a joke about popeye all ready to tell him and sitting there waving my arm all over but alas he didn't pick me.

I don't know what made me think about that.

Did you ever meet him?

In HS a guy a year older than I am started hanging around our family, his family life was poor ... he was like a brother, and we are still close today. I call him my brother, my kids call him uncle ... one day Morgan realized I have no brothers, then finally figured out he's not really her uncle. It was funny that she had that revelation at 18! I guess I got my wish!

A few years ago I went on tour to Europe w/an orchestra, I kind of "adopted" our tour guide as my "big brother". It was really fun, he'd call me his little sister too :)

Actually I have a pic of us together, I think I'll change my avatar....

No I never got to meet him, the most I have is a few pictures from when he was little. With his mom being Korean (My dad had a thing for forgien women-- my mom is Turkish) and my dad not paying child support he has become lost in the system. If I could ever find him I would love to meet him.

That's a shame that he's lost in the system.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      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 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      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
