Dear blueeyedmanda,

I believe the law you were speaking of is in New York. Women are allowed to ride the subway without a shirt. However, they cannot sit on a bench and smoke a cigarette with their shirt off! :lol: I have a site for the state-by-state list.

Some of these will blow your mind. I will post more soon!

Dear Janet,

ROTFLMAO! :lol: Maybe one day a criminal will be dumb enough to call the law enforcement beforehand! There have been some stupid criminals. Take for example, a recent robbery in Kentucky. A man robbed a bank and then left his receipt behind to his account! Now that was hilarious! Also, in Kentucky, there was a guy that robbed a convenience store and left his wallet behind. The police were at his house waiting when he returned home! :P

Dear Susie,

HAAALLLOOOO Susie! :D It is so nice to hear you are doing well! I am about the same. However, I may be making headway with some testing finally pretty soon! It would be about time! So, how are the dingos?

Getting the carpet cleaned here would be nice. The furniture desperately needs it, too! Our Yorkie has ruined three sofas and all of the carpet. Do not get a Yorkie! There is not enough carpet or upholstery cleaner in the world for someone who owns these dogs! I miss my mean little Mini Schnauzer! :(

I agree that black licorice is not exactly the worst cheat in the world. I never cheat, because I become too violently ill. It is just not worth it. If I could cheat, it would be a Big Mac and Fries! Big sexy food, oh yeah!

Sincerely,

Jin

MY FAVORITE HUMOR FOR LEXOPHILES (aka

elye Community Regular

Ah, Bev!

Your list for lexophiles (lexophiliacs?) will be a great time-filler in my advanced class tomorrow...Much thanks!! :D

tom Contributor
LouDeeChris!!! :angry: . . . . . :lol:

Janet!! You're too much! :D EVERY letter part of a name?? :blink: RiDickulous yet FanTABulous! :impressed:

I can't comPETE!! :lol:

:lol::lol: espeSHELLY,

Another!!

Which reminds of some slapstick from this morning. I'm on my new sparse PATio but get up to rePHIL my coffee. I'm in the KITchen (does julie chen make even my 'chen' count? :lol: ) when my phone rings on the patio.

I'm RUSHing over to get to it in time, and . . . ..maybe it's partLEE the sun's fault (my fav THEOry) but I did *NOT* at *ALL* notice that I'd closed the sliding screen door. BAM!!! I ran right into it. Not just a little - I'm sure my crosshatched nose can testify to the force. Well past my not-so-buttonish nose, my *glasses* were jarred.

And the phone has 1 or 2 rings until voicemail takes over. But! . . .. . I hit the door so hard it went off its rails and may as well have been welded shut. <last ring> I'm straining & grunting to get to the patio and it's truly Hope-Les.

Luckily, one bdrm has a door direct to the patio so I got to get out there and see the phone. It said Shelly called. (fyi for some - she was on OMG thread for bit this summer and lives nearby)

First I fix the screen door - easy from the outside.

Then grab the phone and it says I got a msg. It turns out her 2 yr old must have dialed it - the msg is just background of them in the kitchen. And the wee one occasionally saying "teh-di-fo". And Shelly saying "did somebody call?" and "hello?" and putting the ph back down for more background CHADder msg for me. I'm just laughing at it the whole time.

Goofy little Josh wanted to talk I guess. :D

JIN'S HERE!!!!!! :)

Yay! :D

(I've been trying to get Jin here for . . .. months is it? . .. . .and haven't brought it up in a while. Is that it Jin? Waitin for me to shut up about it?)

Bevvvvvvvvv! :lol:

I PM'd you my email! I want MORE RAY!!! (not the eel)

Dear blueeyedmanda,

I have a whole list! I am also working on my "Not So Deep Thoughts--Mysteries of Life". I was thinking the same thing about the riding the subway topless. Of course, I would probably not get any money, because there is not much to see! I am pear-shaped! :lol:

I love Joey on Friends! He is so funny! Once, Chandler was talking to him along with the rest of the group. He said there was no reason to discuss something, because it was a "moo point". They go "A moo point?" He said, "Yeah, it's like a cow, it's moo!" :lol:

Dear Nikki,

It is quite odd you can ride the subway topless in New York. The reason is due to the fact men are able to walk around with their shirts off, so the legislation figured women deserved the same right. I say why not? That makes plenty of sense to me. I do not understand why you cannot smoke and sit on a bench that way, either. <_<

Crap, I just realized, I could not do that anyway! I don't smoke! It sucks being asthmatic! :angry: So many missed opportunities! Why me? Why? :lol:

I am going to humour you all some more. I am going to try and post once a day. Trying to keep up with this thread and the others is not easy! The OMG Thread grows a lot sometimes. Other days it is quiter.

Dear Emily,

Time fillers are sometimes necessary in class! :lol: There were times I got so bored, I would draw and doodle on all my paper! By the time the day was out, I would have much of my notebook filled. I still write and draw all the time. I probably go through a ream of paper per week.

Dear Bev,

I love those jokes! They are all great! The play on words in the first set is awesome! I definitely would love to copy and paste those into a Word document to send to some more of my friends. My father would like those. He is a Lexophile as well. Or, is it Logophile?

Dear tom,

Great play on words! I need to work on some of those! Meanwhile, the great mysteries are my list to create. They will be completely pointless for our own amusement! Between the mysteries of life will be the absurd laws.

I have been anxious to check this thread out for a while. I never thought I would get over here! I am way behind on my e-mails and stuff due to these stupid headaches. Thinking seems impossible half of the time. Mr. Molar is going to have to come out. It is so hard, because he is one of my favorites. :( I know it seems silly, but we have chewed so much together.

Sincerely,

Jin

:lol::D:lol:

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear tom,

Yes, Mr. Molar has been there through it all! Saying goodbye is so difficult! :( He has been there through popcorn, Milk Duds, Tootsie Rolls, caramel apples with nuts, tortilla chips, potato chips, and all kinds of other things! Does he have these happy memories, too? So many questions remain. :unsure:

How can I give him a proper burial? What is the proper way to send him to the great beyond? Do the other teeth need grief counseling to deal with his death? This may especially be important for the molar next to him, because he probably has survivor guilt. He probably wonders why he only needs a filling, while Mr. Molar could not survive. Since they are both molars, this makes the inquiry all the more complex. :lol:

Sincerely,

Jin

Hey, Jin!

So great that you've joined us...please keep us laughing!

People are sporting interesting things on their bodies these days...why not have a hole drilled through the top of your much-loved molar, and hang it from your neck, like a dazzling diamond pendant? If you lose any more, you just keep the necklace growing, like a charm bracelet. A visual testament to the passage of time, and of your life moving onward (of couse, the ones that are full of amalgam should be front and centre...more colour, and character!) :lol:

John and I own all the Friends DVD's and no matter what we can always watch them without being bored. We just get the most laughs out of them. The moo-point. I like the one where they are talking about Watching Die Hard, and Joey says I have no idea what you are talking about B**ch! Funny!

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Emily,

I sure am going to be on here at least once a day! My poor molar maybe should be bronzed or something. His neighbor might be okay. I hope not to lose enough teeth to make a bracelet or a necklace! Maybe I should make a ring out of it! :lol: It is a good reminder of how important dental care is!

The chipping has stopped for now. I think since going gluten-free, that has improved things. Humorous things about teeth are an idea. I am not so sure the other teeth do not want Mr. Molar out. There is no room! Those wisdom teeth are poking through, causing all kinds of issues. They are like "Good, he was taking up my space!"

Dear blueeyedmanda,

I wish I had the Friends DVDs! :( I catch it on in syndication on TBS. There were so many good lines on there! The writing really was hilarious! I did not get to see the one where Joey said that!

I really enjoyed the episode where Chandler was trying to impress this woman he was checking out during a blackout.

It was so funny! He is chewing gum, and thinks he could blow a bubble to look kind of cute. Well, he accidentally spits it onto the wall! Luckily, the woman does not notice.

He thinks "Good." Chandler waits until she is not looking again, and hurries up and pops it back in his mouth. Then, you hear what he is thinking again. "This is not my gum! I am not chewing my gum! Oh my God!" He then starts choking, and she has to give him the Heimlich! :lol: The expression on Matthew Perry's face is priceless!

Health Tip

It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) bacteria found in feces. Body waste. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, beer or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling or filtering and/or fermenting.

Hence: It is better to drink wine and talk stupid than to drink water and be full of s*#t.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I am doing it as a public service. :P

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Bev,

ROTFLMAO! :lol::P I refuse to drink anything but bottled water. Our tap water is so bad here, you can hardly stand to brush your teeth with it! My brother, mom and me cannot drink it. We all get D from it! You can taste the mold. When it does not taste like mold, it tastes like pool water from all of the chlorine.

Who would have thought we were taking in E. Coli like that? :o OMG! That is horrifying. A kilo of poo! Boy am I glad I only drink bottled water! Alcohol makes me feel like I swallowed fire. However, Jack Daniels Steak Sauce is a different story! :P

We all appreciate your Public Service Announcement. :) It is essential to the well-being of our society. Maybe the next time someone says they feel like crap, we should suggest a shot of Jack? Perhaps that is the whole trouble. Things that make you go hmmm. ;)

Good Morning Sillies!

I was going to come up with a really witty post to leave you with but I honostly don't have time. I am headed out on a lovely holiday (or vacation to all you American blokes) with the girls. This time tommorrow, I'll be on a plane to Hilton Head, SC. No kids, No husbands, lots of sand, sun, and overpriced slushy drinks. :lol::lol:

Today is laundry, packing, shopping, list-making . . . it will be my husband's first time of being totally responsible for a gluten-free diet for two kids. :o Plus he's taking them camping with some friends and I'm trying to have as much prepared as I can. You don't realize how much your husband doesn't know until he asks questions like - What do you put in their lunch? What time do you get them up for school? What kennel do we take the dog to? Where does *daughter* go for piano lessons? And the scary one . . . can they eat this?

OK - time to get busy . . . I'll be back on Sunday.

See Ya Sillies!

By the way, I just have to add . . . Why would any female smoke shirtless? Men wouldn't be able to keep their eyes off of her Ash.

I used to watch friends before I met John on TV and then when I finally bought a DVD player when I got my first apartment we would split the money to buy the Season DVDs. I remember having to wait for some of them to be released. Those waits were rough.

The last 3-4 seasons are really funny since you could say more racy things on TV so they would talk about different funny things. I do swear that Ross acted more girly the later the seasons.

TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes, Ross was a girly-man.........so annoying. I never liked him or Jennifer Aniston. Blech! Give me Chandler and Joey (how YOU doin'?) any day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Janet,

That was a good one! :lol: My ash is the trouble spot for me! I am trying to smoke mine off! So far, going up and down the stairs has not helped that. It just bulks that area up. Maybe for Christmas I can get that 6 Week Body Makeover!

Where in Indiana are you? I am in Indiana, too. The Fall Festival is this week. I hope to get the chance to go. I wish I could go on a holiday.

The beach sounds absolutely wonderful! Have one of those over-priced slushy drinks for me! ;)

Dear blueeyedmanda,

I have none of the seasons right now. :( I would buy them all if possible! I admire Jennifer a lot. I may be getting my hair done like hers. My worry is I will look like a Chinese chick trying to be white. That is a horrifying image.

Ross always was kind of girly. :lol: He was more of a chick than Phoebe! Still, Ross was sweet. He and Rachel belonged together. If they had not gotten back together at the end, I would have been so mad!

Dear Bev,

Chandler was very funny. Some of his quips were great! One of my favorites was when he began dating a woman Joey had previously been out with. He was saying how he did not think he was as good in bed as Joey. Monica asked him why, and how he knew that is what they were doing. He said, "Well, let's put it this way, either they were having great sex, or she was agreeing with him a lot!" :lol:

Jin

No she didn't just say that :huh: .

Susie, what am I going to do with you? What's most likely happening here is that you've healed enough so that your reactions have changed. This happened to me, too. ;)

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
