Well, 'twas a long day but a good one.

How about those Blue Jays? They whacked the Reds 14-1 tonight. A new (old) manager and some new coaches, and the bats have come alive.

Yesterday, we interviewed a candidate for a job with us, and made an offer which was accepted. He started this morning. There will be three of us to unload the truck in the morning. He will only be with us for the summer, as he will be going back to UWO to finish his degree in September (one semester to go).

He lives in walking distance and worked in this store for two summers while it was a corporate store, and also has experience with the company in store layout design. Minimal training is required, although he has been away for two years. Some things have changed, and we do some things differently than a corporate store does. But a break in our favoUr in the near term.

The death of George Carlin on Sunday is sad. He was so phunny. He could take anything and find something phunny about it.

We saw him perform in Toronto in the early 80s at what was then the O'Keefe Centre (now the Sony Centre).

A phunny thing happened in the lobby. A phormer high school classmate was also there and recognized me. We had not seen each other in about ten years, but he came up and said hello. We shook hands and chatted.

Larry King had a tribute to George Carlin on his show last night, and as we were watching, Jacquie mentioned that we had seen him live. I asked if she remembered who spoke to us in the lobby that evening, and she had forgotten. It was Open Original Shared Link. We both attended Open Original Shared Link. He went on to play Dr Fiscus on St Elsewhere, and other things.

George Carlin had a record called Class Clown released in 1972, about the time that the class clown at Northview was Howie. The story about him placing a chocolate bar in the school pool and causing it to be drained is a fabrication of his comedy routine. It never happened, at least not at Northview.

An early morning coming up, so I will be soon to bed.

Dude! You went to high school with Howie Mandel?? That's supa-cool.

To weigh in on the cup conversation... I've got the single Ds going on already, and don't want the doubles, thanks anyway! :lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor

Oh mah gah! I found a phunny on my local news website!!! Open Original Shared Link I found the 4th paragraph particularly amusing. :rolleyes:

Single D's would be fine for me, I don't need the double .... heck, C's would be fine. :)

Jestgar, you sound like you have experience with this stuff ... I think one time we were talking about trading because you didn't look smart with yours and I don't care about looking smart. :P

Tom, isn't that every man's dream ... to have a pair for a whole day?! :lol:

Morning, Gang!

PeOter and Howie! Of course, he's a big star in the States now with Deal or No Deal, but I always just loved him as our Toronto Howie, the hilarious stand-up comic whose routines used to kill me. Now he's...I dunno....just another big, slick game-show host. He just isn't so PHUNNY anymore....

I guess back then, PeOter, he had his incredible, wild, black afro going big-time...too phunny.

:lol:

So we have a few rather chesty Sillies, here...Sarah, too! It's not that mine are that small, they're now just....considerably lower, I guess.... :(<_<

jerseyangel Proficient
We shook hands and chatted.

Wow--Howie doesn't shake hands anymore due to his germ-phobia--I've seen him talk about it numerous times on talk shows.. You got in before the cut-off :lol: Very cool you two went to school together!

Sarah--phunny article! :P They didn't have a clue :lol:

Is anyone else having this problem? Since yesterday, if I hit "quote", my screen immediately pops back to to top of the page. I have to keep scrolling back down. I can still quote, but it's a real pain. :angry:

Hate that "quote" thing..... <_<

Double post--what the heck is going on :unsure:

Morning Sillies!!!!

Emily you beat me here :):) By a whole 3 minutes lol!

I missed the Boobies talk...so I can add in now, I got C's....which I think are too big for me

We are having a potluck lunch today at work, I made my famous chicken scampi and homemade lemonade. We have not done this in awhile. Awhiles a good time though.

Last night Jen and Landen were invited to a BBQ supper by one of her coworkers. So she was not going to go since she had not been feeling the best but in the end decided to go. Well, she and Landen were the only ones out of 15 that showed up. The woman had made all kinds of food, hot dogs, hamburgers, salads....and no one ever showed, no calls, nothing. They had all said they were coming. When Jen thanked the woman for having them over, the woman thanked her for coming so she did not have to eat alone. Isn't that sad? It is one reason I don't ever want to host a party at my house. If no one showed up I would be so sad....I told Jen aren't you glad you went now, probably made the womans day.

I guess I better start some work.

Bye Sillies!

jerseyangel Proficient

Amanda--That is so rude that no one bothered to call that woman to tell her they couldn't come. Things can come up at the last minute, but for all 15 to just not show....I feel really bad for her.

I hope she never invites any of them again! <_<

Have a nice lunch today! :D

If this weren't a public forum I'd tell y'all about how much fun I'm having at work with all the low cut tops my friends talked me into buying.

I think you have to kick a$$ at what you do to get away with stuff like that.

Tom!! :lol: :lol: :lol: for several of your comments.

Just popping in to say hello. I had another 2 rough days with my reaction, it traveled from my throat to my tongue, not fun at all :( ..........don't have much silly-ness in me.

I'm too far behind to go back but I noticed poop and boobs and Howie Mandell have been some of the topics of conversation, typical Sillyville stuff :lol:

Janet, I did read you didn't have such a great zoning board meeting. I'm sorry the outcome was not what you were hoping for :(

Jestgar Rising Star

Sorry you still feel bad, Julie. Hope it clears up soon

...I noticed poop and boobs and Howie Mandell have been some of the topics of conversation, ...

:lol: :lol:

Why does this always seems so much funnier when someone sums up past posts?

jerseyangel Proficient

Jess--Yes! The sum-ups are always most phunny :P

Julie--I'm just so sorry....take good care :)

Ridgewalker Contributor

Julie, I'm soo sorry you're having a hard time!!! I don't know what an angioedema is, I'm going to have to google it, but it doesn't sound fun at all. :( (((HUGS))) :wub:

Bev, how is your PICCless self feeling? Hope you're doing ok!

Gotta run for now, I'm taking the Pod Brats who stole my good children to the library. Later!

Ridgewalker Contributor

Aaaaaaannnnd I'm back! My car battery is dead, dead, dead. Ugh. My friend is on her way over and we're gonna try to jump it. :ph34r: I hate doing that. Car batteries scare me. She said she knows how to do it. :unsure:

If it doesn't take long, we might still make it (with all 5 eager children) to the library in time for the animal expert lecture. If we don't make it, we're gonna have 5 unamused children. :rolleyes:

Jestgar Rising Star

If you've got enough rope to make harnesses you could hook them all up to the car and have them pull it to the library.

I hope you make it ..... this is a perfect example of when it's a benefit to look stupid and maybe have DD's. :lol: :lol:

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Thank you for the information ill will definitely bring it into practice .

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
