EDIT

If you want to see some amazing talent, google this lady from the 'I work in a bakery' thread

I don't have a website, but you can find some of my competition cakes online by googling my name, Lori Cossou. I've also been on food network, so you might see me there occasionally. (I hope it's okay to put this info out. I'm new to this and don't want to get into trouble!) Thank you for your help and you're interest in my art!

Boy you guys are 'chatty' today......lots of time to catch up on the 'silly news'

I feel compelled to add that since that photo I've lost like 25 pounds, cut my hair and had it highlighted, and discovered that monks are all talk and no action :P

cangrats..........Jess

Well then, Miss Jess, we need a new picture and as for the monks....it's their loss :D
it's their loss :lol::lol: Good one Patti

Yes!! This is a terrific spectator sport. Patti and Mark entered this Olympic competition as a pair, and won a gold medal. :lol:;)

I still have the shot of me by my toilet. This could be Olympic, I'm certain.......somehow....

:lol::lol:

Sillies I swear I am hair-challenged....I wanted one of those curling irons with the spiral thing on it for making curls in hair, my sister uses one all the time and the curls stay put and she too has thick hair like me. So for my birthday my mom got my the curling iron. Last night I tried playing around cause I wanted to do something new for work today......yep didn't work out. I cannot ever make meself look like the chicks on the box.....its frustrating....

and I had the worst gas pains today......I was at work and no matter what bathroom I went into people were there.....there is nothing worse than a trapped Phart! I finally found a private potty and sqwatted and let it go! I know what a mannerly girl, but you got to do what you got to do!

From me mum . . .

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

NICKNAMES

If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.

If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS

A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does..

DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

I would love to but that would just make me want to eat cake, and I can't eat cake. POOPY COW!!!!

Morning, Sillies!

Just made my bi-annual appointment with my endo.....fantastic man who I've been with for 25 years (he must be retiring soon - - gad) and I've been told that he is now practicing in his house. :huh: So his wife (a nurse, and his secretary/assistant for a number of years now) gave me the address to their home and instructed, "just knock on the front door and come on in. Jaan will be in the living room, just to the left of the front hallway"..... :huh:

I wonder if his examining table is in there, between the buffet and love seats......

Do they have all the eye charts and detailed posters of the gastrointestinal system hung around the fireplace? Cannot wait to see this........ :rolleyes::lol:

:lol::lol: Julie, I was thinking just the same thing....it has struck me as rather amusing. I've always thought this about the luge... .. . what were they thinking, thirty years ago?

Let's have ONE guy, and make him LIE DOWN on the sled. Wait! Better - - we'll also have a DOUBLE, where TWO GUYS lie on the sled, one above the other!"

Morning Sillies...Lucky went for 2 days without throwing up, but then threw up overnight but when he did a huge hairball came up, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that this was causing it.

Another Tuesday...blah!

It was still cool and chilly like out this morning.

We did a drive-by at the other house last night, it does have potential. John said he would need to get them down to 90,000 in that range but it is do-able. Now there is outside work that we saw that needs to be addressed as well. Hopefully this could work out.

If not there were other potentials we did see last night.

Amanda! House-hunting is SO exciting...and this one looks great, because the main criteria has been met - - there will be room for us Sillies to descend on you and sleep over for a weekend. Now, Susie having her own room may be tough to deliver.......as will the Roman slave-men.... :lol:

I barely comprehend that you can buy a big, two-story house for $100,000.00 where you are. This house, if it were in our suburbs and needed that work, would be asking about $275,000.000. It is CRAZY here. Thank gawd we bought all those years ago......

Good news about Lucky! Gus is fine, now. I am noticing my post count, however...... . . and I have FOUR animals here who can suddenly be producing vomit........(Gad, and TWO kids!!) :huh::lol:

I might ask you all for decorting ideas....

Roman Slaves...sorry no slaves or Bedays...the toliet besides the toliet that rich woman have in their homes to wash their Hmmm-Hmm's after they tinkle....

I can try for some skee-ball machines in the basement though, its a stretch....If I have a big yard I might want a trampoline though. I have always wanted one of those. Might break a bone one of these days but still love those things.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      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!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      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?

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
