I should get double points for having to go in the woods whilest battling the viscious "D".....

Oh, THAT doesn't sound fun! :unsure:

No surprise! Last year when we were there I noticed immediately that the men are all very Mayan: stocky and short. The stalls obviously reflect this.... :rolleyes:

Very Mayan indeed!

This is HEINOUS behavior!! Mygawd...do you know them well enough to talk to them about it, as diplomatically as possible?

Heinous indeed. They are not very friendly, keep to themselves type. The type that get into their car IN the garage, then open the door, drive quickly out and away, like they can't be seen. The news papers stack up in the driveway all week. They never shovel the driveway or walk. When I say hi it's like they didn't hear me.

You know, the really FUN neighbors.

Actually, don't care but my heart is a wee bit broken for Brett favre as he is CUTE!

Me too, I luvre me some Favre!!!!!!

Julie- You need to go get this dog. I'm sure that with all the dog-owners on this thread we could disguise him and I HATE YOUR NEIGHBORS- People like that shouldn't be allowed to have pets...never mind childrenm!!!!!!!!!!

I know, and they have 2 little kids!

That's so sweet what your friend did for that other dog.

LOL--yep I am not sure John is into the golden showers.... :ph34r:

I hope that didnt offend anyone.

:lol:

:ph34r: I hope I don't offend anyone by the fact that I understand what Amanda said :ph34r:

*********ROYAL DECREE********

Although passing the test is the "gold standard" for sillyville, it is permitted to join the throng if you:

Can hover successfully, or have ever used a restroom designated for (only) the opposite sex.

Have ever used the phrase "frisk the wookie" or derivatives thereof.

Can quote ANY Monty Python movie or skit.

Can name a movie in which Clint Eastwood sings.

Well, I am only in for #1, the successful hover.

The other skills I am afraid I just don't possess <_<

Julie - we all know you NEED a dog!!! Take the dog. Do a spectacular makeover using your new EM and make him look like a substandard poodle. This will also require brushing his teeth with some tri-headed contraption from Peter. If possible, teach him to bark with an accent (Le Bark). Tell the neighbors "No, I haven't seen your dog. I'm sure he'll end up with someome who will love him and cherish him". . .if only, huh? :(

:lol::lol::lol:

This made me giggle, yeah if only <_<

Does it count if you used the mens room in another country? And a man came in while you were there? :lol:

It happend in Mexico...

:lol: Donna

Now that must have been a pricelss moment :lol:

Hey Jess,

I believe the answer to #4 of Your Royal Decree IS......"Paint Your Wagon".

Between his second visit to Widowdom, my father used to date Tina Louise's (Ginger) mother. Hum, we could have been stepsisters - perish the thought :o .

Strangely, I actually knew that too. My dad is a big fan of Clint Eastwood movies and I always watched along with him because (I'm not sure if this makes me weird but . . .) I've thought he was a supreme babe since I was about 11 years old. (Um . . . Clint not my dad :lol: )

I figured I would show off my kitty, Lucky. He is 2, you cant tell how big he is, He is not a small kitty. I love him to death though, always by my side. He does the oddest things. :)

I am so glad to learn that I have a long lost twin. And I am even more pleased that it Open Original Shared Link.

BAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Big Fat Greek Wedding? You know, the bebopsy? Actually I woke up this morning and told Kurt I had a tumor. He said, "It's NOT a TUMAH!"

No...made me GUFFAW out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I've been offended by lately is something I would not even mention in ANY thread, not even this one :ph34r:

It counts twice and may even exempt you from professional development points :P

and did you happen to be quoting Monty Python at the time? perhaps "please fondle my buttocks" thinking it meant "Yo quiero un cigaretto".

:lol:

2) no worries - stalls all occupado so I went in the sink

Kurt, is that you? :huh:

Well, her head's swollen...from getting the MVP!! I was so proud of her for that one... :):)

She's still got a bit of a headache, but went to school today and seems her regular girly self. Thanks so much, all, for asking about my little netminder...

A terrible thought just occured to me.......is the male equivalent of hovering tea-bagging? We'll have to weigh in on this as I believe that hovering takes much more leg muscle than a momentary (yet unbelievably memorable) tea-bag :ph34r::lol:

<tucking in shirt> wow the ladies' room is inCREDIble at the Fairmont here!!!!!

So I'm in?

I have stayed at the Fairmont in San Jose several times but I never checked out the ladies' room. It was an "approved" hotel for business travel when I worked for Hitiachi and had to visit the Santa Clara office. A nice hotel in an iffy neighboUrhood. Go out the front and turn right--okay. Any other direction, watch your @$$!

I would judge that a classic hover takes more work, muscularly, than a tea-bag. But I asked my DH this last night and he replied, "Whaddya mean, is there a male equivalent? Of course there isn't, at least not for me, because I hover, as well. We don't stand to do EVERYTHING". Ahhhh, of course. Tom, do you hover at such moments?

I have been a member since the Raving Parade we had back in the day. We were in full-Silly Spirit at the time. We had marshmallow floats and all kinds of fun stuff. We have calmed a little since that time.

You know who I haven't seen in the Vortex lately, Daughter of the Light. She was very creative in our parade. Hope she stops in soon.

Yes, it was, lol. While I can't drink much anymore (sorry everyone, lol, it makes me really sick), does it count that I seem to attrack drunk people?

Ah, it happened in Guatemala. Have you ever ridden on a rural bus...it involved a very drunk local who sat next to me, oh, and the really do carry live chickens on those buses. :lol:

It counts twice and may even exempt you from professional development points :P

Phew!

No, no not the EM makeup!!! I vote for the neighbors or goats!

I never watched it when it was first aired on HBO, I am enjoying the reruns in syndication, but somehow I don't think I am getting the full effect with the watered down edited versions :lol::lol:

first off, I like goats. And makeup but I clearly do NOT like Julie's neighbors so I vote that we sacrifice them.

Tell you? Tell you? OK, all I'm going to say is that the latest Internet obsession involves two girls doing something even grosser than what Amanda mentioned. And it has spawned a whole bunch of youtube videos of people's reactions. In fact, my husband showed it to me and videoed by reaction which was as follows "oh m y God, oh my God, there's NO way. OMG- this is so fake. If they really ate that they would die! Do these people not know about E Coli? Oh my God...give me a break!

It is disgusting!!!!!

I meant to weigh in on this earlier.

I'm not entirely certain everyone understands the true nature of teabagging.

Hmmmmmm .. . .for one, tea isn't made from one quick dip. Secondly, . .. ..uhhhhh . .... . . (HubbaHubba?)

But on to the hovering.

As far as I know, hovering is for Harrier Jets, helicopters and women.

Drunk Guatemalans, a bus full of live chickens, a chance meeting in the mens room, this is shaping up to be a very interesting story about your trip :lol:

I have to concur, I like the make up so I just can't part with it. And goats are white and fuzzy and cute, I don't have the heart.

I am watching Regis and Kelly again, and I really feel they are mocking the Yeti.

I think we should start a letter writing campaign. :lol:

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.
    • trents
      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.  
    • GlorietaKaro
      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
    • lalan45
      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.
