:o:huh: ...uhhhhh hallucinogenic drugs plus high places are pretty far down my list of things to do before i die...right towards the end...just above scaling a razor ribbon topped eletrified chain-link fence...naked...in the rain...at night...on national tv...in Alabama

*yawn* been there, done that.

:lol:

Susie--

For recaps, go to "Pick a Show" and scroll down. The forums are pretty funny :P

OMG! excellent, thank you Pah-ti.

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 !

hmmm...I think your theory fits, Scott did ask yours truly - that's right - a few months back, to be a moderator. :o

:huh:

shocked the bejaysus out of me....I pondered it for about a day and did decline. told him that I needed to be free to be as silly as I want.

Did not tell him that I have hardly a SHRED of common sense. :lol::wacko:

She was young and needed the money ;)

Patti....did those hallucinogens arrive ALREADY??? :lol:

PATTI !!!!!!!!!

Are YOU taking Susie's drugs??? .......

Merry Mirth Makers

:lol:

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:

OMG - I have nearly a full bottle of SOMA in my cupboard....from the heinous back debacle of July....hmmmm, forgot about those!! Will pull them out for painting assignments and carpet shampooing. ;)

Tom - sillability index. :lol: Once you're moved, you may find your mojo in San Jose. MOving is THE most heinous thing imaginable.

You TOTALLY editted that in. That was NOT there the first time I went by.

Looks like you've put a lot of thought into that list :lol::lol:

Good Call! I'm sure you would be expected to actually read some of the serious posts!

So, how does our Grand Poobah notify one if there's an offer of Moderatorship on the table? (I would be under that one, too...) Does he call in the early evening?..I've been screening calls big-time lately, and one persistent individual whose ID is "unknown source" has been trying to get through. Can't have been Bob Goulet, as he is clearly not speaking right now. Perhaps...hmm, no, it can't be. There have just been too many posts of mine in the last couple of years that Scott would flag and say, "Uh, Patti...(or Bev, or Ursula)..make certain that I never consider that individual as moderator material".

HARRRUMMMPPPH.....

(You probably have to know lots of MATH to do that job, anyways! Icky-poo!)

Well....long before the daily addiction to the silly thread....I WAS quite a serious poster! and, ahem, you may find this hard to believe...but I still DO sometimes venture out of this realm of madness and write something of......just the slightest usefulness. ( <---- <_< questionable)

Our Grand Poobah uses PM's. Never called me--nope, not once :unsure:

What? Who, Scott? really? are you kidding me? Scott and I.....well, I'm not sure if I should tell you guys this but he calls me daily...wants my thoughts on this or that....keeps asking me to write a book, "the Celiac.com Chronicles," has asked that I travel along with his family to many an exotic gluten-free locale (Finland, Italy)....I tell ya, sometimes I just don't answer, he really just wants too much of my valuable time....but we teleconference frequently with all kinds of Celiac experts, they work it around MY schedule.....

*snort*

:lol: :lol: :P

off to the store. I think there is a bag of Nuggets in my future. :ph34r:that part is true.

Ah, this does not surprise me. I was expecting I might hear something like this. You see, just after I arranged that initial meeting all those years ago with Scott regarding my plan for a website for celiac patients and insisted he run with my idea, he told me he would go ahead on one condition: that I stay with him as the CEO, a second-in-command, if you will. The pleading...the grovelling...it is difficult to recount these things, to remember Scott as being so...needy and unsure. I was forced to tell him that I had another life I had to carry on with, and that he would have to find someone else to write the prototype for my book...you guessed it..."The Celiac.com Chronicle". I assured him that there would be another equally capable individual, somewhere. I also informed all of the gastrointestinal researchers that I could no longer head up the teleconferencing (I still do the odd flowchart for them). So, in a nutshell, Susie, you have to start screening your calls, like I do. I'm SO glad he's found you! :lol:

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK- Susie- That's IT! Scott told me I was his one and only.......don't tell me he showed you his gluten-free ganache mobile? The EDIBLE one? If he did, it's over between he and I and you and he and he and you (but NEVER you and I cuz friends is more IMPOTENT!!!!!!!!!!)

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd :lol: :lol: :lol: So YOU were the one!!!! :o I knew it...I just KNEW it!!! You know I don't really mean to brag or anything but Scott (and all the medical experts) do say that my flow charts are WAY gooder than yours. Now now, don't be upset, it's just the facts, as they are. My flow charts are - well I don't know if I should give this away or not, but since it's trademarked, I suppose I can.....my flowcharts are Tollhouse-cookie-scented. And I do mean the REAL ones, w/ gluten, not the ersatz facsimiles.

*snork*

I wish I was half as creative as you . . . but I will settle for only slightly off my rocker.

oh you are FAR more than slightly off your rocker, my dear.

Plus, remember, you're gooder w/ numbers. :blink:

:o He told you about the ganache? HOw DARE he!!! I must speak to him at once......calling him now.....

Mmmmmm......It's not the thought of impending tornadoes. I'm just always ready for a lockdown. I'm...not at liberty to say any more...at this time... :huh:

:lol:

OMG Emily, it's true, isn't it!!! you ARE in the Witness Protection Program!!!! :o

must go now and shampoo CARPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: OMG the evil shampoo machine is here, must do some now and the rest tomorrow, when you can expect me to be complaining about my BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Ah, Tom! We're so glad you're back... :)

Gah...All the tables Bev and I have been up on, the ones I've been under...I forgot about being under that #!!*#!*@ ganache mobile. Susie's washing Scott's hair,...well, 'tis a might better than washing Mr. Simmons'. Didn't you volunteer for that one, Bev? :o

Okay, well, Susie, you may have configured smelly flowcharts, but you must remember that I mastered visual mapping of athletic T-bagging. And I presented such while up on a table!

Witness Protection Program....jeez...what gave me away? Canada's been a very welcoming new start for me... :lol:

You painted sheets? Like bed sheets? What kind of paint did you use? That sounds like fun.

Acrylic. It was for sets in the play, but i still managed to get some in my hair... go figure...

Hehehe... cool. B)

^_^ <---- Thoughtful face?

:wacko: <---- Or maybe this is my thoughtful face!

I think I'm going to paint some sheets. Maybe next weekend.

I do believe I have had a bonafide case of brain fog today. The high point was when I was having an interior debate about... something... "Should I or shouldn't I, should I or shouldn't I...." ...and then realized I couldn't remember what I was trying to make a decision about.

      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

      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.
