You gotta figure . . . on all my other posts on the other threads, people have got to be thinking . . . WTH is that in her avatar! :lol:

LMAO :lol: what an av!

AHOY ME HEARTIES!!!!

This morning I started to make my smoothie that I eat every morning ... Wild Oats was out of vanilla whey powder, so I have chocolate ... I added a banana and frozen strawberries instead of my usual raspberries ... I put the hand blender in and apparently hit the start button too soon and chocolate smoothie went all over everything.

:rolleyes: Don't you just hate it when that happens?!

I decide to wash my terrycloth robe

This would not be a decision I'd take lightly (and definitely not when herxing!)

My dressing gown as we quaintly call them is thick towelling with a hood and takes bloomin' days to dry ..hours in the dryer.....still damp...Heinous chore <_<

NIKKEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!! You must come for an emergency hair consultation and intervention!!!!!!!!!!

SUSIE !!!! You know I'd be there if you weren't the OTHER SIDE OF MY MAP!!!!!!!! :lol:

Do you remember the beanie hat you had to buy when you dyed your hair & it went green???......time to find it again :rolleyes:

...Yep, it's tout de suite. We anglophones often shorten it to "tout suite", but I don't think the French much like this.

The French don't seem to like anything much ......if you aren't French :lol: (but wait :unsure: ......do the Canadian French have a sense of humoUr????....Sacre Bleu!!!!!!!!!)

BTW I say toute suite and sod the French :lol:

Hehe . . . . . . . .will today become "Talk Like A Pirate About Susie's Hair" Day? :D

Avast ye saucy wenches!!

Bev!! Mention a soy plank agin & ye 'll be kissin the gunner's daughter! Arrrrrrrr!! :angry:

:lol::lol: You're really quite good at the 'pirate talk' Tom!!!!!!!

Begad we be needin' t'punish the blaggard responsible fer that bilge-sucking hair!

By gad we do...arrrrrrrrrrrrr

:lol: invert the troll's hair the other way - I am sure you math geeks have a name for that triangular shape - and that would be more like it.

Isosoles??????? ha ha total guess - I am inumerate ......is that even a word ???

MUST find new stylist THIS MINUTE. The man who colored my hair......I am not kidding - he has become one of the most hated stylists in Fresno. :angry::angry::angry:

You MUST promise NEVER to go back to this EVIL man!!!!!!!!!

Walking the plank is too kind for this swine who created the inverse orange triangle!!!!!! :angry:

Ok, must tend to poor coeliac child who either:

Has a bug or

Has been hideously glutened (when, where???? *sigh* ....who knows????...but he can't seem to get a clear run of even a week lately without this happening) .......... poor chap doesn't know what end to tend to first <_<

I thought I hit quote on Nikki's dressing robe comment ... mine is terrycloth, but it's lightweight, short, and has no hood. It actually washes up nicely. It's still in the 90's here (33 degrees C) ... Way too early in the year for the heavy robe!

Orange pyramids.....

You will all be very proud of me, the pathetic li'l struggler in math, with this:

<h1 style="margin: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 6px;">How many oranges in total would there be in a pyramid if the base of the pyramid has 36 oranges and the top of the pyramid has one orange?</h1>

Owwww....my braaaaaiiiinnn......

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Omg, if you put an orange pyramid on your head you will look like a cheese head!!!!

I am now cracking myself up!

Oh, drink a mojito for me ... and I think I can speak for Bev, drink one for her, too.

WTH? Miss herxing Lyme Brain actually tries to solve it?

Marge has an incredible head of blue hair that goes staight upwards for several feet. Like the Grand Poobah hats minus the horns. Now, you guys have tolerated my math ignorance, please bear with me for more ignorance: what's in a mojito?

CarlaB Enthusiast
91. Man, I hate math.

How did you get that? I thought it was the area of the base (36), times the height (6) divided by 3?

Nevermind, you can't do it that way. Are you helping someone with their homework???

tom Contributor

"Oh . .. . . My . . .. .. Gawwwwwwwd" is right! Where to start?

Why, w/ the math of course!

Owwww....my braaaaaiiiinnn......

O = sum of n sqrd, for all n from 1 to L, where L=length of one side of the base.

Yup 91.

<and nosoyboy is left trying to figure out why the 108 & 72 happen to differ by 36, the original # in the word problem>

OwOwOw!! now MY brain hurrrrrrrts!! :o

So Scupper THAT mateys!!!

Marge simpson rocks the blue hair. It is huge though.

DingoGirl Enthusiast
what's in a mojito?

:lol:

an old Havana, Cuba drink, now quite popular in all parts.

White rum, fresh-squeezed lime, simple syrup (sugar and water), and lime sparkling water. YUM!!!!!!!

Aye, we be one saucy wench down . . .

And I think next summer I should be able to try these magical mojitos.

Soozito? Does the James Fenimore Cooper reference signal the end of summer?

(Avast!! Splicin' the mainbrace w/ a matey & some grand grog!)

This lovely libation wasn't yet popular when I was last a drinker.

But . . .uhhhhhh . . . . . .isn't fresh mint smooshed around in the glass w/ a mini baseball bat essential? Muddle mottle huh wth IS that word?

WTH??? STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

:lol: Once the math starts, it gains momentum (p=mv), and just gets harder to stop. The one to blame is the one who started it.

Spent almost 2.5hrs hangin w/ that new forum member, tvhealthfood. The TV is Tri-Valley and he owns a health food store.

Holy crap he knows a TON about health issues!! Spends a lot of time researching.

Plenty of fun talk, too. The time fuuh-Lew!

He has that thread soliciting questions. I wish I had a Q. Maybe I'll just snatch one from the omg thread, tho he's pretty skeptical about the *most* alternative topics.

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
    • trents
      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
