Oh Bev!!! Hope it ain't the pernume-numes (as my son used to call it :blink: ) ...big {{{{hugs}}}}}

Patti, Bev and Amanda (and any other board moderators that might be peeking in), at the next "staff" meeting with Scott, can one of you make a motion to have the green guy emoticon added? Has he ever mentioned it during a meeting? Is it in the meeting minutes? Do you guys have gluten free donuts at your meetings? Does he fly you all in? Is it all teleconferenced? Is it "offsite" at some great place like San Diego, well, not there, maybe Key West? Do you have a dress code for when you are online "moderating"? Like everyone wears a powdered blue shirt with their name embroidered on it? Do you get overtime? Double time on Sundays? a 401K? Do you have ergonomically correct desk chairs? Free coffee or do you have to chip in every time you take a cup? Do you get free samples from all the advertisers? Business casual or blue jeans? Who's most likely to get drunk at the Christmas/Holiday Party and dance on the table?

OK - just wondering what all is involved in being a moderator?

Given some more thought to the whle moderator question... perhaps the big cheese has slected our moderators witht he whole "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" mentality...HE (capitalized to show respect) is really keeping a close eye on a select bunch of known table dancers and trampoline bouncers...it makes me feel better to think this is true...anybody see my hallucinogenic meds? :huh: My model glue? My whiteout? Something!Please! My cherry flavored highlighter !:wacko:

That statement REEKS of someone who is trying to divert attention away from herself. Hmmm . . . there must be some photos floating around.

THEY (capitalized to show distrust and contempt) don't call them "drugs"...I have heard that THEY take a daily SOMA supplement...just a rumoUr as far as i know :huh:

Ahhhh . . . only 50 more posts until I, too, can captionalate my avatars!!

Hmmmm . . . . .. .interesting . . .. ;)

Hi all,

I've been ~ a zero on the sillibility index for a while. Tried reading some awhile back but couldn't even crack a smile. :(

Wasn't worth trying again while it only reminds me that I should be LOL'g.

Starting to feel better now. Not quite sure why so much badness, but changing a buncha things and being almost all packed seems to have helped. Freakin' back killin' me all the time from packing. :angry:

Trying this "Moving POD" biz instead of a truck. It comes tomorrow & I start the drive Mon or Tues. Prob Tues. :unsure:

I think I'm taking a circuitous route thru Vegas to Reno to play H'ween w/ 2 little ones who've never previously carved a pumpkin w/out me.

THEN off to SJ!!!! :) :) :)

P.S.

GEORGE: Oh, Noooo, I'm so sorry. It's the MOOPS. The correct answer is, The MOOPS.

Richard! I've heard it too :unsure: (Sssch!)

...but have you heard???......Bev hasn't really got a Pneumatic chest...sorry...Pneumonia...but overdone the SOMA (The flashbacks are giving her some trouble)

HARUMPH!!! It's just not fair!!!!!!!!

I NEEDS ME SOME SOMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

I totally understand. It's like being sober when everyone else around you is drunk. Next time, toss a few back before you start reading. We'll all be a lot funnier then.

P.S.

GEORGE: Oh, Noooo, I'm so sorry. It's the MOOPS. The correct answer is, The MOOPS.

My first thought: Do we have any regulars on this thread named George? Maybe before I started? . . . but I figured it out!!

Sorry about your lack of sillibility as of late. I'm also right in the middle (literally--the movers were here and did about 75% today--will be back in the AM) of a move myself. I've been escaping here and getting lost in the silliness.

Hope it all goes smoothly with the POD--yes, go through Reno and have some time with the little ones. It'll do you a world of good ;)

:D Moops :D

Just saw the one where Jerry and George meet Elaine's dad--hilarious :lol:

Hey! I wish to quell this heinous rumour circulating: Parties do not find me on tables...anymore...(yes, I was young and needed the money)..now I'm likely under them. :o:lol:

Hallucinogenics and moderators. Now that would be quite a combination. Imagine what kind of posts we'd be getting to read. No substitutions, for sure. Ah...but Scott likely has mandatory urine samples collected. Was this the...problem, Richard? :lol:

      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.
