.....this is when I jump on his back, curled up like a bug, and cling to him for dear life........'tis quite funny to everyone, esp. to David.....as he was crouched down, looking at sumfin' on bottom shelf, I attacked :lol:

If one can imagine, DH does this to me.. .. . yes, all 180 pounds of him, on my back. Curled up like one mother bug. Also quite funny to everyone... .. .although I'm failing to find as much humour in it the older I get. . ... :lol:

Sounds like a scene out of the Pink Panther with Peter Sellers & 'Cato' :lol:

:lol: 'tis not unlike that! Must point out, though, that June Bug is accompanied by the warning cry: "JUNE BUG!!!!!!!!!!!" and then the pounce....... :lol: I invented it while Kissey was rolling out his sleeping mat and bag in teh tent.............he can't shake me off, no matter how hard me tries :lol:

Much has transpired in the last two days with regard to our staffing challenges. I can't share anything in a public space, but something I did not expect has developed. Don't rule out silly Peter in Philly just yet.

ooooooooooo intrigue

Ya know, Phataughm, I've been thinking along this line for you too. I also wonder if you might not have yet another food intolerance. I had months and months of feeling better and than not--and it's so disheartening to have this happen over and over again. I ended up having to cut out quite a few foods --just about every plant protein known to man. I know your diet is very strict already, but could there possibly be something you eat often that has turned into a culprit now?

Just thinkin' B) Stupid leaky gut :angry:

Yeahhhhhhhh I do wonder about that.

First I've got to get back to practicing what I used to preach over on OMG - not having ANYTHING that I'm not positive is 100% safe.

Maybe 2 or 3 wks w/out trying any tests of the maybe-or-probably-safe stuff will get me back to happy & silly. :)

Thx for bringing up your thoughts. :wub:

It may soon be time for me to try some of the testing done by the OMGers.

You know, life just wouldn't be right if we weren't gettin' slapped around by Nikki once a month . . . :lol::lol:

Yes, and we got a bonus :evilcackle: this time

Well, if you kept doubling back you went twice as far as everyone else!

So . .. .Janet, Lisa, Jess . . ..am I the only one that starts thinking of the equations for this?

well, must forage around for dinner now........sick of it........wish I could just eat pop tarts fer dinner, like the good ol' days :lol::huh:

I made a mistake and panicked that I wouldn't have enough time to fix it now that the edit function is a time limited offer, so I decided to just erase it all. ;) See below!

Scott claims a longer time, but my empirical investigations indicate that you have as a minimum two hours to make corrections. Welcome back, Alex, and I am waiting to see what you almost posted before chickening out. :lol:

~alex~ Explorer
Actually, I've glanced again at that photo, and I look quite like a cow, I believe.. . .Extremely unflattering. :rolleyes::angry: Perhaps when one is caught running, it's an automatic ten-pounds-go-on kind of illusion. Hell, I hope so... . :lol:

Au contraire, quite svelte I think. A little like Open Original Shared Link maybe. This adds credence to my "Skinny Mirror" theory. The theory goes that the way you see yourself in a skinny mirror (eg. those deceptive mirrors in fitting rooms that make everything look good on you) is the way that everyone else sees you in real life. So basically we all see you as looking ~10 pounds lighter than you see yourself looking in that picture! B)

Who knew you were so buxom -- :lol: I like that word. But nah, I prefer the picture of the tired runner who ran back and forth to cross the finish line with her son. A MUCH more attractive photo! :)

We went to see Indiana Jones tonight. Pretty good -- but not really my kind of movie. I can only willingly suspend my disbelief so much!

That's good to know. I guess 2 hours would have been enough to go back and make all of the necessary corrections! I wasn't sure what kind of time line we were looking at. I was afraid if I took too long it wouldn't let me submit my modified post.

Hmmmmm........theoretically, one could hypothesize that Emily could have traveled as much as 3 times the distance of said Ripper. Let's see....if we knew the time at which they completed the race....... and the speed at which subject Emily traveled.....let's assume for the sake of argument that Ripper traveled at 2 m/s...( speed =distance/time)......he would finish the 5k race in 1.44 hrs.....if Emily finished at the same time, traveling at 4 m/s,.....(distance=speed x time).... she would travel a distance of 20.76k........however, if you take into consideration that Emily's speed fluctuated, as she would most assuredly would want to decelerate to Ripper's pace on occassion.......

Don't forget that as she was returning to the Ripper, he was moving forward, so each double-back did not constitute a full double distance.

I think the couch is calling to me now........ :ph34r: A short Sunday nap..........chores later.......SOOOOOO much fun going to Lowe's after a couple o' mojitos........ :lol: I even did June Bug to David......this is when I jump on his back, curled up like a bug, and cling to him for dear life........'tis quite funny to everyone, esp. to David.....as he was crouched down, looking at sumfin' on bottom shelf, I attacked :lol:

Across the pond, I believe this maneuver is called the "Piggy-Bat".

curlyfries Contributor

My original calculations were based on the guesstimation that Emily was running twice as fast as the Ripper was walking and he ran a straight 5K, and she continued running the entire time that he was walking, whether she was doubling back or running in circles or whatever. But obviously there's a flaw in my theory :unsure: I said I love math.....that doesn't necessarily mean I'm always good at it :lol::lol::lol:

Just for you Ptaurghauomn :D

that reminds me of Jin's Pudding Explosion circa aught-six.

:lol::lol:

...but really......WTH is a magic bullet??????? :blink:

(Hehe Knic "not now Cato!!")

*giggle* :lol:

Heeheehee :lol: :lol:

Has Phatorghmn got a tad of mojo back??? ;)

A floored flawed mathS lover?!?!? :blink:;)

As of Saturday it is illegal to drink alcohol on public transport in London so (naturally :rolleyes: )

:lol:

*snigger*.....look at the faces of the couple sitting down!

Earlier on

everyone in the partay mood :o:lol:

Kind thoughts for my feet please sillies....as I have to go to the bank sans automobile......3 mile trip - and you know what happened to me poor tootsies last time :rolleyes:

Morning, Sillies!!

Ahhhhh, what a perfect flurry of late-night posts for me to have missed - - could honestly feel my stomach tightening as I skipped through the problem-solving equations and hypotheses of the two travelled distances from our race... .. .honestly, you number people!! :lol:

Actually, at the top of our pic the time is shown as we crossed the finish line - - 44:10. :) Another fact to consider in your calculations: I'm fairly certain I doubled back eight times.. . ..but no idea how much farther ahead of Jack I had gotten each time before turning back....

Gaaaaaaahhhhhhh..... ... .my braaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnn.............

Across the pond, I believe this maneuver is called the "Piggy-Bat".

:lol::lol:

Yes! Nikki's av - - it's the Kisseys out shopping!

Nikki! We were typically mystified and properly shocked as the niave little Canadian tourists that we were....each time we boarded the subway in London last summer, to see beer flowing freely, lots of soccer-singing, hands up skirts, staggering and bellowing (and honestly, this was not midnight - - it was late afternoon!).. ..

Nikki...........now that I ponder this, I remember getting on at Camden Town and sharing the car with a loud, wanton woman, wild, curly hair flying about, dancing on the seats, blistered feet causing her to swear like a trucker.... .. .

Could it have been?.... ... ..

:lol::lol:

      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.
