Patti............

It was, in reality, ME. I have found insurmountable powers here in the United States, what with our dollar at parity and my fellow citizens snatching up Florida condos with lightning speed....

Phillies are looking at me with....what, curiosity, certainly, but I believe it could also be respect, er sumfin......

Oh....I believe I mentioned the free alcoholic beverages from 5:30 to 7;30 in our lovely hotel lounge. Well, after sitting at the bar for a while, chatting with the lovely Americans around me, I brought up....yes, it's true....ANAL GLANDS.

Then the Yeti. (DH and children LONG GONE, as you can imagine)....

I began chortling unabashedly. These guys tried to figure out why I was bringing these things up....then, I am certain, just thought, "Hell, this is one pissed Canuck chick.....Northern yetis and their anal glands?? I am SO outta here".....

And off they staggered to the lovely Australian tourists at the table close to the bathroom... :lol::lol:

Ah--the disclaimers :lol: Glad I'm not the only one thinking this way! I'm afraid you'll be thinking "what am I doing here with this old hag" :lol::lol:

Oh, please........ <_<

Patti is going to be an absolute beauty queen, you wait.....

Here I'll be, some hungover, exhausted, sweaty, water-retentive middle-aged Canuck....

You wanna talk HAG......... <_<:lol:

Yes, I DO think we'll sit like this :huh::huh: at first. Then, I'll lose all decorum and be all over the waiter....or coffee/tea server....and we'll quickly dissolve into this B):lol: ....

I have a bruise for you to look at, Patti....don't know who it quite resembles as yet..... :huh::lol:

Woo-hoo! A new bruise! I'll get a picture and put it up as my new av.....everyone can try and guess which celebrity it looks like :PB)

I was wondering what you were doing whilst the thunderstorms were passing through before.....little did I know you were holding court in the lounge--regaling tourists with tales of The Yeti! :rolleyes:

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding

anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table.

She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being

loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my

darling husband.'

The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen

Mary II appeared in her hands.

The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but

an opportunity like this will never come again.

I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than

me.'

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.

So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92

years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember

fairies are female.....

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?

Ah, yes... That's the Waiting-For-You-to-Leave-So-I-Can-Poop Silence. Sometimes I just wanna yell... "Just poop already! You're gonna give yourself a hemorrhoid!"

Love you sillies to death, not kidding! Your support has just been incredible.......my friends are SOOOOOO jealous, BTW, that they don't have this support group (I told them they're all probably celiac in denial anyway so, why not join us?)

YAY!!!!! And you got engaged in Nag's Head, the same place Brian and I went on our honeymoon! I :wub: the Outer Banks. Laura, do you live in NC, and I missed that?

Hi Everyone.

Patti and Emily I am so excited for you. Even if work was ok, I wouldn't have made it to the summit. My chest is worse today as is the breathing, hopefully will get into the Dr's later. I feel as if I have been coughing for a week when I hardly coughed at all.

No other new exciting news. Let us know how the silly summit is?

jerseyangel Proficient

I hope you can get into the doctor today, Amanda. :) We'll miss you today, but certainly understand. We'll meet up sometime.

Feel better!

Just back from Las Vegas, and just wanted to inform my silly friends that BETTI the YETI is alive and well in Las Vegas. Yes, indeed. I saw ONE slot machine in ONE casino called Betti the Yeti, so in honor of my friends here in sillyville, I had to play it. True to the gist of what I've read here...Betti the Yeti was not good to me! :angry::lol:

Welcome back Donna!! Fresh from being mauled by a yeti :P

Ok guys, I need a judgment call on my behavior.

My room mate asked me to go with him to his citizenship interview and I agreed. So this morning I get up, get my coffee, and am in my room finishing my coffee when I hear him start the wash machine. He knows I have to take a shower 'cause we discussed that last night so I'm kinda miffed. I go back to his room to talk to him but he's in the bathroom and he has this thing about being talked to in the bathroom, so fine. I think, well maybe the cat threw up on his bed or something so I look in the washer, and no, it's just his clothes. So I turn off the washer and get in the shower. He comes out and turns the washer back. So I hurriedly finish my chilly shower and go back to his room and asked why he turned the washer back on while I was in the shower. He said " Oh, I didn't know" :angry:<_<:huh: Then he proceeded to tell me I shouldn't be mad because he didn't mean to do it. I tried to tell him that whether he meant to do it or not, it still wasn't very nice and he should apologize. He disagreed. So I said fine, you're mean, I don't want to go with you to your interview. And he left.

Now on the one hand he's really nervous about the interview and being in Seattle (we live in a small community), but on the other hand he planned to walk on the ferry and take a taxi in Seattle to the place, so there was no direction finding involved. And he's a grown man.

so. Was I too harsh? Should I have gone with him anyway?

      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. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. 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.
