WOW!!!! I'll say! I was expecting to see some great handyman type projects, but your dad is a talented artist!!!!!!

Sarah!! What incredible work your dad has done! He is a gifted artist. Makes me want to give myself a shake, get up off me idle arse and begin creating artwork again.....sigh.......

I know. ^_^ He's awesome. I will get after him- when he puts up some current pics, I'll let you guys know. He landscapes, he's a builder, he writes music, sings and plays guitar... all really well. Why didn't I get any of that? <ahttps://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_blink.png' alt=':blink:'> He's also a good writer. A snippet from the essay on Open Original Shared Link:

(written in the form of a press release/question and answer session)

"You can see just below the watermelon filled belly that Tiki Man has huge feet. Oh yes, yes, what is it?"

"Stynky Fet, American Podiatrists Association. He only has four toes."

"And?"

"Well, that's quite unusual isn't it? I mean five toes are the standard and it seems to me that he could keep his balance better..."

"Excuse me, Stinky Feet. He only..."

"That's Stynky Fet, Sir...

"Oh, sorry Stinky Feet Sir. He only has four toes because of the size of his feet. They are wider than his body. If he had a fifth toe, it would stick out so far on the side of his foot that he would always be stubbing it on something. Makes sense doesn't it Stinky?"

"Stynky!"

"Of course."

What a dad, Sarah! What does he NOT do? You must put up a pic of him....I am fascinated by and infatuated with all artisans....... :D

OMG yes!!! and do provide an illustration as well, for the illiterate people you come across!

Hmmmmm....yes, the illiterate individuals..... . . . .could provide an illustration, or I could now use American Sign Language. Only thing is, I only know "penis", "vagina", "lesbian" and "helicopter". Well, I could just start up a line of conversation where I only need to use those words. Not a problem. :blink::lol:

Got this from my mom over the weekend, and it made me do this. :blink: Then I tried it a couple more times. :blink: :blink: Except I didn't care if anyone watched me attempt this. B)

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this!!!

It is from an orthopedic surgeon............

This will boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.

It's pre-programmed in your brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

:lol:

I asked for you, and you came.....THREE TIMES!!

So sorry to hear about your Jenn. :( Not certain how far San Diego is from you, but you'll still be in the same state. So you will have some...perhaps lengthy....commutes to one another. But doable! :D

Any news from the eye doc?

Oh yeah! :foreheadsmack: Yeah, we found out that Luke has 20/20 vision. :huh: Why he leans so close to what he's reading, I don't know. The eye doc told him to quit it. :lol:

Edited to add... He did it again. Changed the post format... header is to the side again. You know, I liked it better that way before, but I feel like I need some kind of warning for changes like that because I come on here and it's suddenly different, it FREAKS ME OUT.

Morning, Sillies!

Hot and beautiful here today...low humidity.....Yippeeeee!

Aren't we calling that a Lisa?? . . . and WHAT would we do without her??!!!?? Quite an education we're getting!! No wonder she works in the school system!!

I know!! And the way she explains everything so perfectly....I can picture exactly what my hands should be doing as she is explaining each of the gestures for words. Teacher extraordinaire......

Lisa, can you explain to me how I can unfurl the garden hose when I pull it out to water the plants and NOT have it all tangle up, so that I don't have to walk all the way back over and UNtangle it? <_<:huh::lol:

Sign for the day: FART

Make a fist with thumb alongside index finger ( not placed in front of fingers like you normally would) This is the letter A, so we will refer to this as the A hand. Bring your A hand around back, with thumb pointing at ......well...you know. Then open hand spreading out fingers to the #5......Hey...this could come in handy.......we already know what #1 and #2 are.....now we have a #5!!! By the way....... in ASL, facial expressions are important. So when you open your hand, blow air out of your mouth by going *Puh* :D

:lol::lol::lol: :funnypictureinmyhead:

I could make up any outrageous thing I want to, and all these sillies would be dutifully doing bizarre gestures while sitting in front of their computers......such POWER! :D .........what a headrush!!!!!!!!!

BTW.......I unpacked my book of Signs of Sexual Behavior .and it says Va-jay-jay should be signed pointing down so as not to confuse it with *triangle*...............yeah, cuz I always confuse mine with a triangle :unsure:

I'm pooping in and out . . . MIL is due to arrive tomorrow morning. I am frantically trying to clean the house and make it look like "yes, this is how I always maintain my home". I'm pretty sure I don't have enough time for that :P

      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.
