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:

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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:

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<_<

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
