Well now..... B):o:P:lol: .....

Don't reckon I could GET me leg above me shoulder....must try sometime :rolleyes:

Hee--I just came in from re-potting some plants, reworking the window boxes and generally sprucing up the porches. Can't stand working outside whilst it's humid, so lots of things needed doing.

Worked up a sweat, though--must shower.....be back later

It's easier in the tub.... :lol:

wish I'd gotten something accomplished but got hooked on google ASL sites.

Good Sunday morning, all!

back AT CHA!

Mom and Dad are coming over for dinner

Flugtag Competition:

a lot of 'em scurry away after reading a page or two..... .

not me i think it might just take me a bit of time to get used to who said what due to all the quoteing. and knicknames ...

so i guess for johnsmom to be shorter i'll go by jo. funny 'cause my mom's nickname was bettyjo. anyhow to whoever wrote good you can have your folks over ...i say ditto that my mom has passed on and i'd give my left arm to have her back over for dinner just once...

i try to just check in here once a day holla back folks and tell me are you guys in here all day? do you check hour by hour? is it the winter weather keeping you indoors??? what oh yeaha it is july i MeAN aug. the height of SUMMer... catch my drift ??? or are we all so " what i like to call on a short leash with the toilet and the jump up and run away gas... "

is it just me or anybody out there also got the runaway gas thing go'in on? some days i laugh cause who wants to cry over it ( sort of like crying over spilt milk) ha ha ha ...crying over spilt gas.... ha ha ...any how you got the ole picture of linus from peanuts in your mind and his friend was pigpen? well some days this gas cloud i am living in , if it was visable ,, i'd be hard pressed to see to drive... and i saw on mith busters A person tested it === you can NOT gas yourself to death. it is true a guy camping in a small tent who said even if i ate a pork -n-beans and cabbage dinner and went to sleep for like 10 hours? He said he nearly gassed himown self to death so mith busters checked it out and said NO_ WAY!

i was so relieved that i had tuned it that day.... now thats one less thing for me to worry about... sillie willies but if a group of us lets say gig ( gluten intolerant girls ) all went camping and we all ate that almond rice bread any body ever try that? whoooa a a a you could kill at least one of us from how much gas is created by it...

hay anybody up for this lets all list off major gas offen dors AKA ( gassers ) .. like now for me it costs 73 $ to fill my tank with real gas at the pump . but .... if we could run a car on the phart kinda gas what would we feed our silly cows to produce enough for a trip from ca. to ga. ? it's like the whole i'm going on a trip game....

and to whoever said 66 for the outside temp. i think it was patti in pa. you would hate me i'm in hawaii and we just had a few 85 and 90 days in a row just beautifull. so sunny and just the perfet gentle breeze and blue sky w/ pillowy clowds

and to the one ellie i think who said flugtag? what? is that like annother word for flag football?

and judy i think in media pa. what is____ mld ____ MLD ? is that something from pages back that i missed or short for something like in the movie american pie 2 where the mom thinks shes walked in on the son like playing with himself so she lists offf all sort of nicknames for it like happy me time... did you see that ? i t was SUCH a funny seane ......or was it something short for meds like mind loseing drugs ?

and somebody was leg up over the sholders like tring to heal from a surgery... that reminds me of an old joke that went around===== so what should girls put behind their ears to attract boys? their ankles...

and i hear there is a phart chart somewhere. you should have interviewed me before i went gluten free... this is just my friends way of saying about his wife (not me) ....shes got a mean tail wind ... they were all sailboating people but he was talking about the same pharts we are i think. i was off your charts for sure if there were trophies to pass out on that one like the gloden globes 20-20 would be in my drive way to interview me on how i like being nominated...

and to lisa i think contibuted the signing story i had to laugh twice at that one .. i sort of collect little stand up comedy bits.. and i have a few on the list of what pasteer did last sunday... also i'll add this one you might enjoy...the little ole lady is in church and whispers to her hubby '" i just let off a few silent ones they're maybe gona stick up the place here in a min or 2 what shall we do ? " and he says i think YOU' d better get a new hearing aid battery!

i'll leave you gals to it then or gals and guys i should say

folks i'm out ta hae a fo now,,,,,,

but i'll check in 2 or 3 times a day for a few days and see if keeping up gets easier..

annother hay anybody question .....dose any body work ? i mean like in an office or store ? hows this affected your job life. did you quit ? do you feel like quitting...?

love and aloha, jo

Ummm....yeah that's *silly*, but it looks like she is gonna hurt her nose :o . Different regions have slight variations to the same sign.....and sometimes totally different signs. For me, *silly* is also made with the *Y* hand.......thumb and pinkie up, all other fingers down.............put hand directly in front of nose, thumb almost touching and wiggle hand slightly by twisting wrist.

Sorry Jan-it....that sounds darn (sorry again) unpleasant :(

Phunny how we take sumphin like a shower for granted--until we can't take one :P I was lucky--after my surgery last year, even though I had an abdominal incision, I was allowed to take a shower as soon as I got home (2 days after the operation). I couldn't wait! ;)

Pheel better :)

When I was in the hospital years ago, I asked the nurse if I could wash my hair in the sink.......Nope!..........so I waited until the changing of the guards the nurse shift changed...........and I did it anyway.............I figured if I got caught, I could claim that I didn't know! :rolleyes:

johnsmom Newbie

after the changing of the guards, I did it anyway. I could claim that I didn't know!

you go girl ! I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT ... I BEGED FOR 3 DAYS then a friendly nurse by funny coincidence named ( nurse betty ) my mums name was betty and she said if i don' t tell she can wash hair in the laundry room just like being at the hair cuttlng shop just get wheel chair ready and wait and don't tell. so she washed my hair and i promised to be her friend for life witch i still am and all those days prior to meeting her when all my office stopped by to look in on me and me with my hair so greesed down and groossss .... just scummy.. and not even being able to want to look any vistors in the eye for how pittyfull i felt. it almost made me want to be a nurse just to be able to offer a bit of compasion... BUT NO .... ithink i won't quit my day job

johnsmom Newbie

drainage done by a Pt or me. ? sorry i'm so slow so who is a pt ... like a doc or nurse or personal care giver ...when my mum was ill they always refered to me as the primary care giver... i felt very special ... i miss her more now that i'v been chatting with all you gals...

wish i lived in pilly we'd go out to lunch and a chick flick ... i got some free popcorn coupons and at our theater.. i can get um to keep comming .. if we had a gig .. group here in my town i'd have you gals up to my place and we'd do resapie swapping and this thing they call 5 course meals ... where you do like soup then hop in the car and salad is at my house and then orderves at likepatti's and main dish at lisa's then deset bck at stop one whee all our cars wee all this time... it's kinda fun.

(Hope I broke up the scream enough)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-GGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Those ignorant annoying self righteous .. .....

I hear ya .. ..& not just the scream. The 'Big Conspiracy' theories, oversimplified opinions, etc etc drive me bonkers.

Saw one poster - methinks in the very thread that led to such a scream - attempting to support a position w/ links to a site full of reeeeDIKulously sensationalized alarmist propoganda. <aaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh> (muffled scream)

Amanda, I gotta agree w/ everyone's comments on the babysitting.

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's my baby!!!!!!!!

Awwww now inn-nat sweeeet <cyber cheek pinch>

:lol: Yeah, but if you scream like THAT, all should be forgiven. ;):lol:

:lol:

<_< Blech...

blech . ..better today, I take it. :hopefulface?:

so i guess for johnsmom to be shorter i'll go by jo.

OK, jo it is . ....but .. ...how can we play w/ it foe-neddik-lee??

GI jo gets a new meaning don't it?

...any how you got the ole picture of linus from peanuts in your mind and his friend was pigpen? well some days this gas cloud i am living in , if it was visable ,, i'd be hard pressed to see to drive...

:lol:

and i saw on mith busters A person tested it === you can NOT gas yourself to death. it is true a guy camping in a small tent who said even if i ate a pork -n-beans and cabbage dinner and went to sleep for like 10 hours? He said he nearly gassed himown self to death so mith busters checked it out and said NO_ WAY!

:lol:

yeah, jo fits RIGHT in!

... that reminds me of an old joke that went around===== so what should girls put behind their ears to attract boys? their ankles...

Ahhhhhh a classic!! :lol:

And another :lol: for "shes got a mean tail wind"

but now being cookie disabled my self as a fellow gig ....

:lol:

I think PT is Physical Therapist, btw.

All right. Jess, you have been Silly-Instructed NOT to scream with such ferocity (font size 8, er sumphin'), as it completely strrrrrretchesssss all of our screens, and there must be constant, exhausting scrolling back and forth. Well, Ptaoughmghmn! There is also to be no quoting of said screams......here my screen is back to, like, a kilometre wide!......I think I need some gravol......

Had a lovely dinner with my parents, and it is true....I am SO unbelievably blessed to still have them both here, both in their eighties, and both mentally sharper than anyone around....sharper than ME, fer sure.....

My dad is fading physically, however. :(:( Parkinson's. His gait is very slow, his tremors are quite bad down one side, and yet here he is....this old man, shaking and trundling along, and when he opens his mouth it brings tears to my eyes, because the room is suddenly filled with his booming broadcaster's voice, crackling with wit and energy.....such a dichotomy. It is searingly painful to see him decline quickly in the ravages of his illness, and have his sharp, cool mind raging against it all....

Sorry....I digress from all things silly....Mom and Dad just left, and it's all fresh in my heart......

Jess! Don't you dare jump in here with something meaningful and poignant! Gimme a page or two, because I actually think I could use some of your wise, beautiful words.... . .but not immediately...... :):)

I finally got up the nerve to try to update my av by myself. It worked!!!!!!!!!!!Someone once mentioned being interested in other people's artistic-type relatives. This is my dad. He is an artist............mostly paintings and sculptures. He used to play the sax.............don't know how long it's been since he last picked it up, though. He looks like a genuine Florida beach bum!!!!!!!! He used to scuba before heart surgery but still likes to snorkel....plays racquetball and sails. He was a wonderfully smooth, mellow voice ^_^

Oops Ehmuhlee . ..thought the well-placed hyphens in said screamquote would ameliorate the stretchification .. ...

Sad about yer Dad's physical side.

Wish I could see mine more often. He lives in South Carolina, near Augusta GA. Great golfing for him there, but too damn far.

<<<<whoa!! Was jus' gonna write "I think I'll call him ring him up" ( ;) to the Brit) then the ph rang and it's HIM!!>>>>>

Glad you had the "lovely dinner" tho, Em. :)

Does he live in FL or is that beach bum remark entirely attire-related?

I just think that amazing people sometimes forget that they are amazing, and need reminding. If you read my other posts you'll discover that I think that 90% of the population can just sniffle themselves into a gluten filled pool of misery for all I care - but some people (highly over-represented on this thread) are far too important to me, and for them, and only them, I will willingly offer a small piece of my soul for them rest on while they are repairing their own.

:wub: :wub:

and that small piece is hugely appreciated.

OMG :lol:

still 2 or 3 pages behind - just a poop-in - entertained by Jess's huge scream that re-formatted the pages :lol:

and checking on gia-knit - SHE MADE IT!! haven't read all details yet - hope yer feeling okay

I"m off again......keep running around to visit people so as not to have to be here :(

love you sillies!!!!!!!!!

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
