um, ahem, I WOULD like to point out that the math-hating lefties ARE in the majority here. :lol:

Seein as how lefties are special because they are the minority, I think we can conclude that math LOVING lefties are even more special :D:D:D

Math is kewl!!!

although I don't know if I can claim full residency here, just for the record, I am:

-right handed

-and my hair can be all. Curly, wavy, and straight.

Laura, we right handed folks need to stay together. Sillyville is for everybody.

Royal proclamation: Laura (happygirl) is accepted as a citizen of Sillyville, with all that it entails. She must visit regularly, share phunny stories, and laugh along with us.

And while I'm at it, Lisa (curlyfries) has been enthusiastically participating, so I will waive the usual admission tests and welcome her as well.

Welcome to Sillyville. :)

I was almost afraid to admit that I love math, for fear that I might actually be saying something embarrassing! :unsure: Whew! :P

I think mathy thoughts FAR more than needed. We have Janet & Jess on our side btw. (Did I miss someone?)

Isn't there a Sillyville Local Ordinance to embrace embarrassment??

Math is kewl!!!

Morning Sillies.....tis a brighter day today! Jen's eye is better and we actually took a walk last night....a very long walk....my legs are still a wee bit tired today. John is so/so. Turns out his tooth is a root canal that didnt take or something...crazy! Well its back to the grind I will poop in later and talk to you all.

As for math....I need to let you all know I cannot count to save my life....scary aint it? I tried to tell my buddies in the cafeteria the other day that I couldnt count and they didnt believe me....I guess they thought I was joking which I was NOT! I am a very good speller and proof-reader....ask me to do some simple equations or conversions....might as well ask an infant.

Morning, Sillies!

Elsie is sitting with her beautiful white head on my lap. Gus is lying across the room, staring quietly at her, still, I'm sure, trying to figure out what in hell's going on.... :rolleyes::lol:

A couple of accidents yesterday (three)...so our girl is not completely housebroken yet. I think that she spent so much time in a crate before that she needs to learn what being in the real, big world, involves. I'm sure it'll take some time...

King Peter hath spoken!!

Peter, can you do something about yearly pap smears?

I had a thought about the quicksand one, you know you don't hear so much about quicksand anymore. It used to be in a movie or two, and several tv shows...oh, it's the dreaded quicksand, however will they get out....... but no, not so much anymore.

The quicksand would like to apologise for it's absence...it had retired BUT agreed to do a one off episode on 'Dr Who' (shown last Saturday eve)

It dutifully devoured a 'fish monster/creature' with great aplomb.

Righty here. Strongly Right-eyed even

Right eyed :lol:

WHAT? now she tells us......it's FAKE curly.......well this throws off our scientific "accuracy" quite a bit

So, Lisa is a phake curly but a genuine lefty with a penchant for mathS???? :blink:

Reminds me of an epiphany I once had (have I told you guys this already? ), driving on highway 152 through Los Banos (Tom may know this most BORING, long, flat, endless heinous stretch of ugly road through flat, stinky dairy and farmlands - miles of literally nothing) and left alone w/ my dingo thoughts.......I glanced over into a car next to me and saw this lady, maybe in her sixties.....she had solid white hair, forming a frizzy, puffball halo 'round her head, 'twas perhaps two inches in length.

And - this thought flashed into my mind: at what point do we just give up, just let our hair revert to its hideous, willful, default state? At what point do we just give into our slovenly old age, quash our vanity.....quit the coloUr, the styling, the blow-drying, the products, all of it, and let it GO? Let it turn solid gray/white, spazz out, go its own way......... :blink:

THIS cracks me up :lol::lol:

Is Pseuzee phunnier when glutened????

YES, when??? .....at least us curlies will NOT need a perm for the shampoo and set

Can you stop shaving yer legs and grow a full beard (with side burns)?? ...Is that allowed??? :unsure: ...maybe only in England :lol:

Do I get to wear a headscarf???......stockings (not sexy-think American tan)...and OMG!!!!...will I be a fat or a skinny old lady???? :unsure: (they only come in 2 varieties)

<I think I'm going to be fat >

GADS!!!! ...I can't WAIT to be freed from this hellish vain obsessed beautimousness :lol:

Can't wait until Nicola arises and puts in her tuppence about all of this :lol:

:lol::lol:

My tuppence worth......how terribly British!!!!! :lol:

Struggled and hated my hair as a child.

Was teased mercilessly at school......'fuzzy bear' and similar names were bandied about.

Mummy said ''You will appreciate when you are older''

Mummy was right ;)

I LAUGH in the face of the teasers!!! HA!!!!!!!!!

I do sometimes long for silky straight tresses........I am stuck with the same look......and WHEN do I have to stop having long hair???? :blink:

Mygawd, it is a minefield nest-ce-pas????

The lefty thing - I think most of us are a tad ambidextrous as we HAVE to be in this 'righty' world :rolleyes:

I have always known however that 'we' are superior beings!!! ;):lol:

so sweet of you to say, Paddeigh,

Paddeigh :lol:

Gotta go again! :rolleyes:

Nikki! I ponder these things, as well. You can get a pretty good idea, usually, by taking a good long look at both of your parents. I believe I am, at least physically, a fairly equal combination of them both. It's an exercise that I do not do very often....it is a sad place to visit.... :lol:

I LAUGH in the face of the teasers!!! HA!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you do! Nikki, I absolutely luuuuurrrrrrve your crazy, wanton tresses. I covet them... :)

Ryan!! You simply cannot stride into Sillyville with a short post about having a new puppy WITHOUT telling us anything about him/her! Name? Age? Breed? Where have you put her bed? And, MOST importantly - - where is the av of her?! :);)

You got it, Amanda. The students are doing review things, and I don't need to be thinking much to be runnin' wif ma dogs.....

Hi Sillies :D

Just returned from my bi-weekly (is that the right term for twice a week?) Chiropractic appointment. Feels good :D

Yes Ryan, you need to tell us more--and for goodness sake.....pop in more often! :)

Emily and Amanda's shared brain :lol: Never gets old!

Ain't got much else.....Nikki, I was teased about my curly hair as a child, too. Mine was fuzzy, out of control and the bane of my very existence <_< As a teen, I tried ironing it, rolling it on soup cans at night and slathering it with Dippity Do (an early hair gel--very goopy) and wrapping around my head overnight. I have to say it's been nice having straight hair for the last couple of years--I always wanted it and got it. Now, I think I can move on :lol:

To me this implies on two legs.

P.S. I enjoy Susie's Hwy152 dandelion-head lady story nearly as much the 2nd time as the first. No use worrying about whether this or that's been said before. :)

<and I really like saying dandelion-head lady>

P.P.S. So .. ...I thought I was going to quit cigs again - and for good - upon returning from Reno, but was having a crappy Monday and since I knew quitting would mean at LEAST 5 tough days (and maybe 2 wks or more?) I just wanted to have a few good days first.

Is that too much to ask????

Now it's more than 2 wks later & I'm still waiting for a few good days.

Hmmmm not much of a point to this P.P.S., tho it's made me think that if I DID quit on apr28th, I'd probably already be over the crappy part.

<waaaaaaaaaaaaa i like shmokin' too much>

Jeez, Amanda....Thank goodness you've got the brain this week!!

Jack's next query is most interesting: He wants to know who the most interesting character is when you google your own name. He came up with a couple of lawyers, a cardiologist in London, but the most memorable for him is his namesake who is a professional (it is a profession - - who knew?) shepherd in Wales, and is part of a large shepherding-type networking website. :huh::lol:

Nothing exciting fer me - - only a handful that match my exact name, and most of them are Australian...one's a sculptor....

I wanna meet this shepherd! :lol:

Ptaougthmnhmn...sorry about this rough patch for you. :( How frustrating things must be to have a day or two of almost-normalness, and you want to dare the thought that you might be on a roll, and then have a crappy run afterward. One lives in hope......

Um.......My first suspicion, and to suggest it may cause you to roll yer eyes as it's something you have perhaps often thought, is that the cigarettes themselves are a big (the main?) part of why you go days feeling crappy. You are constantly reacting to them, perhaps subclinically, as you react to so many other outside agents. If this is the case, won't you be waiting for-bleedin'-evah for a few good days to quit? Just thinking aloud.....

Gad, I feel for you, Ptaouytghmhnkhm...thank god I got off those things early in life....

I remember Dippity Do . . . Do they still make that?? My mom use to put my hair in pin curls and she always used Dippity Do . . . it was torture at the time (had to sit still) but what a fond memory, now . . . Thanks, Pat-tee

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
