It's Ptaoughmghmn's unofficial job, methinks. To notice, and then draw our attention to, these things.... :lol:

Why yes, it IS Phataughm who has his finger on the pulse of the goings on here in Sillyville! :lol:

Em--good luck at the vet...thinking about you and little Elsie :)

I KNEW it!!!!! I knew there HAD to be a big number coming up.....this explains the basement flood :o

I dunno - I'd need more mathematical substantiation to support trans-continental postal phlipover phluid-ephekt transference. <_<

Particularly for a phenomenon w/out precedence.

Maybe the distance 'tween Patti & Jess equals sillythread post # (14397) minus Patti's personal # ? (11770). That's 2,627miles. Sounds too far. Hmmmmm

Maybe if we find a way to convert your birthdays to angles and multiply the miles by (1 - the difference in cosines)?

I am sitting here so excited for the Silly Reunion, just thinking of the fun time it will be :):)

Any ideas on what else we can do?

Um........Cosine was Jean Valjean's adopted daughter (Fantine's bastard child) in Les Miserables.........now how in hell does SHE figure into this equation? Sheesh...........you math people try and turn all kinds of things into variables.......

Yes, Susie! How's our Menstruating Missy, today? :lol::blink::lol:

I DO hope you're on the upswing.....

I am presently feeling terrific, as Elsie's legs are, at least skeletally, poifect. :)

Muscularly, they are nonexistent. She has very little muscle mass anywhere. This is okay - - we can work on this. She has gone from NO activity to a great deal of activity. It has been an overload situation...we've been expecting too much from her, too soon. Poor wittle fing. So we need to proceed with caution and much less fervour. A long walk every day is enough for now, and work up to short distance running. YAYYYYY!!! She's okay....

He also said that she's quite underweight. I replied, "Oh, gawd. She's put on a fair amount in a week. You should have seen her ten days ago!" He just shook his head. Sooooo glad we have her....and so, he assured me, is our vet.

Cosine...Les Mis...

Cosine is part of that whole ludicrous logarithm thang, isn't it? Sine, Cosine, Tangeant.....

Gaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.........

Such useful, mind-numbing business that I call upon.. ..hmmmm.. ..let's see.. ..approximately... .. NEVER.. .. .to use in everyday life. :lol:

Emily--

Great, great news about Elsie! :D I kinda had a feeling that was it, but it's so good to know for sure!!!

She just needs a little meat on her (perfekt) bones!

I need more data!!!!!!!!!!!

In Chinese Year of the Tiger fashion, what animal year are the two of you?

But then how to relate animals to interstate phluid-effect transfer?

Could the multiple of your post counts = the sum of the # of seconds for the animals to traverse the transfer endpoints?

I must be barquing up the wrong Willow .. . ..Jess not only hasn't yet hit 2000, she's got NEW CATS COMING <probably> & Patti's basement flood was a couple days ago. The synchronicity discrepancy is disturbing.

Patti? I don't suppose #2 all-time has passed you to become #1 while your laptop is doing the road-warrior thing. Unlikely but THAT would be enough to explain it.

<_<:lol:

Ohhhh, poor baby! It's like she's been in a coma or something! Emily, I am SO SO SO glad you have her now!!!

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together. :lol:

I spent ALL MORNING, literally, doing bills and figuring out a two week grocery list, including gluten-free, low cholesterol, low carb, low sodium dinners for four, breakfasts, lunches, non-food items, and I needed to keep it under $250. At one point I found myself actually pulling on my hair... but it's done. Whew. This new twist is gonna take some getting used to. Well, usually I have a bigger budget, but ya know, trying to catch stuff up.

I wish I could come to the Silly Summit!!! Sigh. Must do it again next year. Susie! Tom! Start saving now! And I will too.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we MUST save for the silly confab!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or - next year, in that property next to your house, a big, silly, camp-out? harder but..........w/ yeti's help and many sillies WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW your heinous menu planning - - - :o Um, yeah, I'd have no hair left.......... :blink: Yer a good mommy! :)

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my self-absorbed menstrual maelstrom of woe - - - OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elsie just needs to build up her gams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is SUCH good news! Weezee is so pleased.................. so yeah, just start the lanky girl out on simple, easy things..........she'll be PHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

back to jewelry on the couch.

No word a'tall from the woman to whom I sent my resume yesterday. Becasue, that's right, IT SUUUUUUCKS.

btw-when is the silly summit?

Jestgar Rising Star

Yea!! on the healthy pup!

I say the next silly summit is on the west coast. Cali if it's not too hot, Seattle if it's not too wet, Andrea's house in Oregon if we can't decide (nobody tell her :ph34r: )

Susie said "gams" :lol:

Gotta go--be back later......keep working, Ptaughaum...you're making progress! :D

:o Eureka!! :o

Did the flood coincide w/ the day Sillyville hit exactly 1000 pages behind Rachelville?

As a major participant in both -villes, it stands to reason you'd take the brunt of the phluidation.

In fact, I can't deduce ANY cross-thread ranking calculation where Patti doesn't leave everyone in the dust. :blink:

Susie!! There must be someone you know in Philly who'd put up you two Kisseys for a couple of nights! HEY!!!...How about our own Judyinphilly??! :):rolleyes: Send her a nice, pleading email, and you can ALL come!

Great, great news about Elsie! I kinda had a feeling that was it, but it's so good to know for sure!!!

I know, I know. It's so wonderful. Gus was SO happy to see her return from the appointment...I believe he was worried. :wub:

Hmmmm...I think we need to have both Patti and Jess complete a 72-hour phart chart, with numerical specifics that can be observed along with changes in the interval and/or scale, perhaps altering the visual perception of data. This alteration may in itself explain the phluid phluctuation, as per Hermlicht's Theorum.

:lol:

Elsie sure is lucky to have you, Em! :)

OMG.....I am SO lucky to have found her!! ..And Augustus is one lucky boy. What a girlfriend! :lol::wub:

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together. :lol:

. .. .Maybe there's a bit of relief washing over you as well, Susie? :)

Lisa!! Probably sometime during July 8, 9 or 10..... :):)

EVERYONE HAS TO MAKE THIS!! King Peter, help us find a way!!!

Laura AND Lisa2 MUST COME!

The only problem is that this is during the week...........and hypothetically, I am supposed to show up at work on those days! :(

curlyfries Contributor
I couldn't go out of the house to the grocery or whatever without running into one of "my kids"--who always greeted me with a big hug.

Yeah.... I get kids during school wanting to give me hugs. The girls are OK.....but if a middle school BOY wants a hug,...He's just trying to cop a feel :o<_<

What part of the country are you from, Laura? Do I already know this? I don't remember if I do . . . it's been a long day. No sillies (or yetis) have yet to show up and help me spread all this freakin' mulch. Have had to do it all meself <_< so far.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
