Lisa - did you miss the question? . . . or are you trying to avoid me? :unsure: . . . are you anywhere near Asheville? (Perhaps organizing psilly ashevilly summit?)

Oops, question. Asheville is all the way across the state from me. Way far away B). It would be fun to meet in Asheville. It's beautiful country.

Morning Sillies!

Another hot day. I am here at work. I have had trouble getting to sleep the last 3 nights so I am dragging, and I am having a hard time breathing. I take Allegra as needed and I notice if I dont take it for a few days I get this way. The trouble is in my chest not stuffiness.....it is very uncomfortable.

Off to start some work....not overly excited about that though.

I've decided to invite Edna over for a while . . . even though she's annoying and no fun at all.

*sigh*

Hey, do you think I can lose 20 pounds before I leave for vacation?? a week from Friday?? :lol:

Easily. Just tuck the scale into the cupboard and start telling everyone that you've lost 20 pounds. By the time Friday rolls around everyone will believe you, and what every believes must be true....right?

Dust, dust, saw bloomin' dust

Hideous wet weather....Al still ill (not eating) AND a incredibly boring 'Annual Educational review' of devil child :rolleyes:blah,blah,blah.....

GADS!!...those 'professionals' don't 'alf waffle on.......I could of said what was needed in 2 minutes flat :rolleyes:

Devil childs teacher is in fact a New Yorker,....maybe I should have asked her to pull my finger to lighten the mood?? :unsure::lol:

Boris is the new squeaky toy of Will, the pecking order battle IS ON!!

MEOW

Like a vampire, Edna has to be invited in - but she ain't no barrel of laughs....it's all about denial with her!! :angry:

Sven is here too, pulling up all the carpet......(Yeti never showed up)

I'm HERE, I'm HERE!!

Gawd, I leave the phorum and head to lands unseen, and just look what happens.... . everyone's connections become tenuous, keys and commands do not respond correctly....and I am no longer even Psilly Regeant!

Everyone, please relax. I will be back in Ottawa on Saturday, and the fine celestial balances will reconnect.

OH! Speaking of Edna, she has been with me throughout NYC and Philly. It is impossible to keep her happy, fully present and accounted for. I keep losing her.....a couple of glasses of wine here, a high-fat gluten-free muffin there..... :angry: Grrrrrrr.......

But Sven and I continue to rendezvous and maintain our strong, lasting love affair. Two great hotel gyms so far, two great runs through Central Park and up the Rocky Museum steps.....

No wonder I'm tired. <_<:huh:

Patti!!!!! Twenty-four hours or so.......

I wonder if we'll really surprise one another? Physically and/or psychologically...

Trying to come up with all the disclaimers and warnings I should be giving to someone about to meet me, face to face, for the first time..... :huh:

I promise... .. .I only scare people away in print...... . .never (well, all right, rarely) in person. :lol:;)

I tell ya, this is a first for me--knowing someone a couple 2-3 years and then meeting face to face. Do you think we'll just sit there like this-- :huh:

Hee hee--you ran up the "Rocky Steps"!! Did you go inside the museum? Love that place!

Uncle Ray says hello!!!!!!!!!

Recent studies had demonstrated that beer contains female hormones. If you want to keep being a man, read carefully the article published last year in Scientific American by Dr. Flower.

To prove their theory, 100 men where given 12 pints of beer each and observed the following:

* 95% started talking nonsense.

* 100% couldn't drive.

* 75% found themselves prettier than their friends.

* 25 % felt the ugliest persons in the world.

* El 90% had tendency of gaining weight.

* 100% had Paranoia and thought others where talking about them.

* 80% started crying without reason.

* 80% wanted to spend their money in nonsense.

* 100% wanted to pee every 20 minutes.

* 75% felt uncomprehended.

* 85% thought they knew it all.

* 100 % experimented lack of coordination.

* 85% couldn't recognize their own errors.

* 75% told their miseries to strangers.

* 80% started calling their ex girlfriends at 3:00 a.m.

* 75% lost all sense of reasoning.

Definitely there are female hormones in beer.....

While I like this idea, unfortunately, it doesn't help my clothes fit any better. Edna's been here for 8 hours!!! That's the longest she's stuck around in a year (not counting the Stomach Flu Edna at Christmas).

Nikki . . . Edna is a vampire . . . :lol::lol: . . . and "slower than dirt?". . . well, what do you think dirt's top speed is? . . . exactly!!

sooo, this may just be a female thing, but:

Ya know how sometimes you go into a multi-stalled bathroom, and there's someone in a different stall, and you start doing whatever you came in there for, and from the next stall there's either dead silence for the duration of your visit, or else there's some gratuitous rattling of toilet paper and blowing of nose, but nothing else?

Just what is it they're doing in there that they think other people don't do in a bathroom?? Reading subversive material? Playing ping pong? What?

If I had more time I'd be tempted to just hang out in my stall and see if anything substantial ever happened next door.

More BeveRAY:

A farmer named Seamus had a car accident. In court, the lorry company's hot-shot solicitor was questioning Seamus. "Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine?" asked the solicitor. Seamus responded: "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite cow, Bessie, into the..." "I didn't ask for any details", the solicitor interrupted, "just answer the question - did you say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine!"? Seamus said, "Well,I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down theroad...."

The solicitor interrupted again and said, "Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the que stion." By this time, theJudge was fairly interested in Seamus' answer and said to the solicitor: "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow,Bessie".

Seamus thanked theJudge and proceeded. "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge lorry and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the oth er. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and

groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, "How are you feeling?"

"Now what the Hell would you say?"

a nano-second poop-in and this is what I saw. :lol:

Jess, clearly you have too much time alone w/ your dingo thoughts in those stalls. Why don't you get one of those fake/joke pigtail-like piles of rubbery poop - or a flattened heap of plastic vomit - and......just plop it on the floor, within visible range of your stall neighbor?

that could be fun..................

exhausted........going to nap now.......................

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac.

Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      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.
