Well, finally got some GOOD news today. They tested my immune system a month ago for how much the Lyme is impacting it. A normal person is 2-17%. I came in at a whopping 2%. Hey! I'm almost normal.

Wow! This is Great news, Bevel!! :):)

And my antibiotical break has been extended for at least 2 more weeks!!! After that- you don't wanna know. I'll just concentrate on the good for now :D

Well, duct tape will NOT keep my boobs up. I need a little portable shelf er sumfin'.... . . .bit o' scaffolding... . .

How about wires?.... . .Brackets?.... . .

Here I was traipsing through Sears and Walmart, when I think I should have headed straight fer Home Depot....... <_<:rolleyes:

:lol:

So I was thinking about your dress with the low back challenge.....you just have to duct tape in the front, not all the way around. Yes, hoist them way up and then slap the tape across securely to hold em in place, across and up and down...I think it will work ;) ....you'll need an assistant of course, if DH isn't available maybe Gus could lend a hand

Indeed, sillies seem scarce today. While I'm keeping abreast of the discussion, I don't think I will be able to add any, um, support to a decision regarding a bra. :ph34r:

:lol: Peter!!!!!

Well, you could always have DH lend his support . . . holding them up from behind . . . that aught to get them talkin' . . . where are you going? . . . a church picnic??

Great news Bev - - YaY for YoU!!

Sombody asked . . . not sure who . . . but we are headed to Fripp Island, SC. Spending the night in Ashville along the way. We rent a house (just off the beach) with another family . . . old friends from Cincinnati. This is our seventh year. The first year, my daughter only wanted to play in the dunes (which is forbidden) and didn't like the ocean (too noisy). It's gotten better.

Take care sillies!!

Did I ever tell you guys... I was late for my own wedding? Because- get this- I was in the bathroom taping these circle thingies on my boobs. It may actually have been duct tape.

My wedding planner was my mom's best friend, and she (best friend) kept saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Finally my mom took her aside and said, "LOOK... it's not like they're going to start without her!" Bless my mom. :wub:

Morning, all!

Wow.....no one on yet? What's everyone up to this am?

Judy! I wanna see yer pic, too....sounds beautiful!

Julie - - I took your advice, and pushed 'em way up, but wrapping them wasn't gonna work, so I put all of this duct tape just underneath said boobs, acting like a push-up kind of shelf. In fact, I had a look at those stick-on things at Sears yesterday, and it is the same principle.

Well.... . . .no. Made things look.... . .somewhat... . .strange.

This is an interesting problem.

:huh::lol: Well...... . To ME. Like diphthongs and schwas, the fascination may not be shared too extensively. :rolleyes:

I need a structural engineer to help me out, here.

Who would be able to solve this situation?

There are those guys over at Home Depot.......

Peeeeeeeeeee-tur! Oh, Peeeeee-tur!?

This came to me from DH: :lol::lol:

Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns:

(Walter is the male version of Ann Landers)

Dear Walter: I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.

When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve years.

When I confronted him, he admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago, and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Distraught in North Carolina

Dear Distraught: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

Walter

Speaking of this, Patti has sent me the infamous BOOB pic, to see if I can load it as an av. Like you, Patti, it's not happening, and I have it modified to an email size....cannot remember the pixel #, but it should be working......

Gawd, a successful display of this av may warrant me my first warning....after all, it is very sexually alluring....four of the greatest boobs around....... :lol::lol:

Glad to see Judy getting sillier by the day! :lol:

Yeah Em--what is UP with those pictures????? I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't get them to work. It's that Pentax camera :angry: I knew I shoulda brought the Sony, but Matt had a lot of pics on it so I thought this would be simpler to load onto the computer.....maybe it's the higher megapixel?

Ok, I don't get any more technical than that :P

Where in hell IS everyone?? Summer holiday, er, vacation, I guess.

Sillies!! Haul it back in here at once! That is an order! :D

Morning, all!

Wow.....no one on yet? What's everyone up to this am?

TRYING TO POST!!!!!:exasperatedface:

It happened to me again :angry: I was up at 7 this morning, typing away, and when I was done, lost the forum, lost my post! Y'all are really missing my me best witticisms!

I went to the middle school on Tues. to pack up my stuff.....just a deskful.....and by the time I got back had a heinously sore neck and headache. I always wondered if the school was making me sick.......been under construction for over 2 years. I've heard that sometimes drywall compound has gluten in it. I'll be going back on Mon. when school starts to say good bye to everyone and do a *sick building* challenge. <_< I no longer will be at a year-round school, so will be going back to work Aug 8. ( no construction at this school ;) )

Besides being without income.........and now having 3 more weeks to scrape by than expected......this summer has been good to me. I lost 9 more pounds, for a total so far of 20......yes 20 pounds :D I have also gone off my blood pressure meds....( me doc doesn't know it yet :ph34r: , but who needs him?)......last reading it was 108/61!!! Lots more energy and feeling better until the Tues. fiasco.

((((Gasp)))))..... . . . ...Laura was able to re-size someone's BOOBS?? Mygawd......I need her contact information............. . . .. .

Is she the one in charge of the double D's I never got???

I'm sure someone has had their name coined into this situation (perhaps MOI :rolleyes: )....when you come on suddenly, complaining about how you've lost a huge, HILARIOUS post that there is no possible way you can duplicate, so everyone will have to tolerate your second-rate replacement post.....Think henceforth we are now calling it a LISA. :lol:

Lisa!! GREAT news about the weight loss and bp! Good for you! :):)

The very same. Laura, it would seem, has the breast market cornered........ . ..

In all likelihood, yes. The forum software can automatically resize any photo to the max avatar size (150 pixels by 133 for landscape), but the maximum file size you can upload is 50Kb. The higher the resolution of the photo, the more bytes it takes. If it is a high resolution one, you would have to shrink it to no more than 50Kb before uploading.

You have my email. If you send it I will massage it for you and send it back. :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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

      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.
