But like, ok, if there's a little curly hair on the seat (gack,) do you just leave it there and hover an inch over it??? Static cling could cause said hair to jump to your bum!

:o

no, not bloody likely, as it is most certainly stuck on there with DRIED URINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

...also, I am SO exited that I now know when someone is posting now....keep hitting refresh (are they done yet??? :blink: )....I am such a loser!!!!! :lol::lol:

I take a generous wad of toilet paper and swipe that baby into the toilet. Any stray droplets are similarly taken care of. If I have had to do these things, though, I have to admit I will probably hover over that particular seat.

Personally:

HUGE WAD (lest anything toiletty touch ME :o )

WIPE

HOVER (clutching purse)

SWEATER OVER HAND ACTION TO OPEN DOOR

...repeat wad for taps faucets and exit DOOR

GET HOME, SHOWER, CHANGE CLOTHES :lol:

Alternatively (IN MY CASE) only have 1 cup of tea in the morning (alot less stressful)

Ok, I could handle a sprinkle... I could handle a hair...

But the image of the hair stuck in the dried URINE (not "wee" or "tinkle" but "URINE") made me shudder. :lol: :lol: :lol:

When are we gonna get that green guy? Do we need an organized petition?

Dear Amanda,

I had Mr. Molar extracted last week. He did not want to go! The oral surgeon used a bunch of different forceps to grab the tooth. They had to break him in pieces, and take him out that way. My jaw still hurts, which means I need another course of Amoxy.

However, I have to wait until after Saturday. I am getting my hair done, and cannot have the colon irritation at that time from the antibiotics! Can you say scat bomb? :o None of that. I deserve to at least get my hair done, you know? I am scared, but also excited.

Dear Susie,

I often write poems for friends and family when they marry or when they lose someone. I decided to do a tribute to our beloved Tika. Using Shakespeare's prose is my favorite. Hopefully, I did it well. We will see!

To Tika

Tika with thy soul so pure

Much you did endure

A spirit full of light

Eyes always shining bright

Joyous memories do you bring

To every other living thing

Now beyond this galaxy

You frolick in the Heavens above me

Although your physical body is no more

I know you are with us as much as before

Thy soul lives on in another place

Away from all time and space

Sincerely,

Jin

I'm sorry your jaw is still hurting, but thank goodness that tooth is finally out!!! You totally deserve to get your hair done- can't wait to see a pic.

That's chunder talk.

....and that's highly quotable! Chunder talk.... :lol::lol:

Lulling us into a false sense of security with his 'c.com moderator' title and his cute cat pics....all the while corrupting us

Indeed. We must stay alert...Still waters run deep....

'Twas at the dentist today and whilst he was merrily drilling...I was thinking (as I gripped the arms of the chair in a slightly sweaty vice like grip) ''I wonder if they wipe the arms of the chair between patients''

Mygawd...yes, as this setting could involve blood droplets, as well...HANUS, scary and possibly dangerous, as well... :o

Hey!!! I'm doing laundry!!!

(and quit peekin'!! :o )

Love it. Hubbahubba Tom. :lol: And you're NOT doing laundry, Tom! The act of cleaning clothes creates this name form: TOM . Large, clean blue, and in the font of Lucinda Console...whoever she is. She sounds very much like a cleaning lady...

Excellent, Emily. HOwever, two errors noted: 1, the spelling - in this case 'tis always (h)anus.....and 2, you omitted the very important information about where a woman must put her purse, because as we know, it is NEVER to touch the floor of the stall. (must find a hook, or cradle it in one's arms WHILST hovering, or hang it around one's neck......)

The purse thing can be problematic, true. I put mine on my head, a fine time to practice balance. Quite something, I am sure, to see.... :lol::lol:

But like, ok, if there's a little curly hair on the seat (gack,) do you just leave it there and hover an inch over it??? Static cling could cause said hair to jump to your bum!

Gaaaaahhhh...

One should never hover over anything this hanus, in case of improper form and subsequent touch-down. Must wipe with HUGE paper towel wad... :lol:

Probably?!....Probably??!

Purse on the head snuck up on me-- Out loud guffaw! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I often hang mine around my neck. I am totally in agreement that the purse must not touch the floor! A few times, I tried to make one of my kids hold it, but I can't trust them not to let it touch the floor. They act like it weighs a ton or something, I don't get it.

Probably?!....Probably??!

:lol: Ok, thinking back, I'd say it's a virtual certainty in that case.

Still, I'm sticking to my guns- if the seat is dry and debris-free... I sit my heinie down! B)

I was warned by a number of people before we came across the pond that we would all be blowing black stuff out of our noses after the London subway, but no blackness appeared. By the end of our trip I was hopin' for some North American PB to be appearing, even this way, so desparate was I for some decent stuff... :o<_<

If no hook or little shelf thing, then around my neck. Thank goodness I don't carry a clutch . . . would have to clench it in my teeth.

tom (HubbaHubba) . . . wish I could have seen that when you were posting!! :lol::lol:

Are you kidding???? Now that she can finally read she's curled up with a squirrel martini (following Peter's lead) going through all 500-some-odd pages. Surely, if you listen, you can hear her yelling "MOM!!!!" Whenever you've said something embarrassing about her.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
