P.S. The tea leaves say I'm gittin' me silly back Sunday!!!!!!

<very strange as I don't drink tea or have any leaves>

I missed this until I saw Emily quoted you . . . This sounds like a teaser, Tom. You got sumptin goin' on Sunday that you need to tell us ABOUT.

Okay, so this make-up mineral thread lets grammatical impropriety slide? Bah! A hex on the lot of them!!

...But hey, if they're funny over there, why don't they just join US HERE in the funniest place on the planet? Why settle for second banana? We need a spy to head over there, route out the wittiest creme de la creme, and spirit them over here. Tom, you'd be too conspicuous as a male on a cosmetic thread (unless you can convincingly play metrosexual)...

Hey! We should get our Good Queen Jess on this! She needs to appoint someone....

Good Queen Jess IS on it . . . or rather in it . . . or amongst them . . .

And I'm afraid if we sent Tom to the all girl cosmetic thread with the pillow fights . . . we would see a lot more of tom(HubbaHubba)

MYGAWD...I now have my sure-fire ticket across the border if I don't have my passport renewal done in time. It'll be like this: "No, officer, I do not have a valid Canadian passport on me...but I have something even better...you know that Wegman's flyer that came out last week? The lovely lady featured on the back page, quoted and photographed? I like, know her. We speak, often, online." ...And through I'll go...

:rolleyes:

I will always help you cross the border!!!

Tom-sounds good, we watch Friends over and over on DVD. We always find something new to laugh about.

You didn't think I actually wore makeup, did you??? Did you forget I'm a scientist? Look through all those stereotypical scientist photos you have lying around the house: bad hair, big glasses, not a spec of blush or eyeshadow - all those are true (as are the nerdly, unattractive male scientists. not a great hunting ground).

As the ruling monarch I feel it's my duty to ensure that no other thread is as entertaining as this one.

Oh No!!! It just dawned on me. It's all starting to make sense. They're holding Richard hostage. I imagine that anytime soon, we'll see a ransom note . . . demanding an outrageous amount of money to fund their make-up addition.

LOL Janet "sharpie mustache" :lol:

This is a fascinating proclamation, Tom...Did I miss something? How do you know this? Your wittiness will be completely back on Sunday? Is it on your calendar? I didn't know your silly had ever left.... :huh::D

Oh Em .. .I KNOW you can tell the difference betw my last couple wks and the times I'm makin' up silliness left & right.

I missed this until I saw Emily quoted you . . . This sounds like a teaser, Tom. You got sumptin goin' on Sunday that you need to tell us ABOUT.

Well, I'm being optimistic about Sunday. But 3 days of safest foods should do it. I hope my problem isn't one of the replacement vitamins, reluctantly bought when I couldn't get the same ones I'd been taking.

Been feeling like such a dullard lately.

Gotta get back to waking up *HAPPY*, feeling like my brain is whirring at max and wearing that involuntary perma-smile.

And I'm afraid if we sent Tom to the all girl cosmetic thread with the pillow fights . . . we would see a lot more of tom(HubbaHubba)

See? I don't even have a comical reply for THIS!?

...We may never hear from him again....

Here's one - what DID they use to poke the naked guy? Chopsticks? Straws? :unsure: both?

All I can say for sure is that there are posts of your'n that leave me truly guffawing, and the remainder, where I smile broadly. Ah, Ptaum...even your murky times where the brain isn't crackling are still passibly witty...That said, I CANNOT WAIT TILL SUNDAY! I've got it in my day-timer...! :lol:

OMG...I was checking out the Mighty Mineral Thread, and I cannot believe it. You guys were not kidding--it IS fifty pages of chatter on cosmetics! It really is...brushes and powders, ordering and coloUr palettes....

Wow. I'd never stand a chance over there.... :lol:

Yeah, I pooped in over at the Minerals thread way back in the day-- when it was like 5 pages long or something. And I actually ordered a sample pack! It's good stuff, but I couldn't keep up with the girly girls over there. They are way outta my league.

A funny from last night:

Lucas brushed his teeth and I asked him if he did a Good Job. So he gives a big toothy grin to show me-- and Ezra immediately throws his hands over his eyes, keels over, and starts yelling- "My eyes! My eyes! Too shiny! Too shiny, my eyes!" :rolleyes:

Those are the ones you need to write down. I keep a paper throughout the year for whenever I hear something good. Then I put the creme of the crop in the Christmas letter. Much more entertaining than some of the travelogues and resumes that we recieve in some of our Christmas cards.

You haven't scared me off yet! I've been feeling yucky/in a funk this week and I hope my absence doesn't make me lose my status as a Sillyville member.

All of everyone's funniness is definitely helping with the yucky funkiness. I think silliness can cure all ails. :D Have a great weekend everyone!!

Look everybody . . . I went fishin' over in the cosmetics thread and I realed in a babinsky!!!

Welcome to our Madness, Donna. It is a vortex of silliness. Nothing is sacred here and you are likely to be corrected on your spelling and grammer but making up words is totally allowed!!!!

You only have about 550 pages to read to get caught up . . . better get started.

Now that you've come once, you have to keep coming back (we're addictive). :lol:

And Donna, just in case you wondered who Richard is . . . he is the founding father of this thread . . . been missing for a little while now. Have you seen him?

Well, hell....We just spent nearly ten discussing how one arranges oneself in a public bathroom stall.... :lol::lol:

I actually used to hang out here in the beginning of it all, but I can't keep up with you all. :blink: I need the slower paced much more mangeable little OMG thread. :lol: Well, that or the pure nonsense makeup cult thread. :P

      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.
