I'm still not scared! I run fast...... Besides, who says Yeti's are dangerous anyways?

Sarah, you need to tell me the evildoer's name. I'm gonna do a voodoo hex! Make his penis fall off. Or just become horribly diseased.

Question. I have (rather abundant) cleavage (snicker) so does that mean that I AM or AM NOT under the rule of the cleavage queen? Is she called that because she has the power to endow cleavage? (Or remove it?) eek

Is there a metric equivalent for cubits? Is a cubit already metric? Is it, in fact, a unti of measurement at all?

A Cubit is actually a unit of measurement. According to wikipedia, The cubit is based on measuring by comparing

Hi All Sillies!

It is only 10 and it is already hotter than hell. I think this is the last hot day though. I hear rain is coming.

We are doing our mortgage appointment this morning to see how much we can get approved for in a loan. Very stressful. I cannot be happier when this is over.

Where is our Tom.....I miss him!!!

It seems like it's just random enough to be voted on as the official measurement of psilliville.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Nothing we do will ever match! It's perfect!

Relax. Ample cleavage = ample saggage. Be happy with what you've got.

:lol: Well, our yeti is a love. And tolerant? Gad...... . the things we've put him through.. . ....

Howevah, word was yesterday that he may have gotten involved with a chupacabra. . .... things may be a'changing with his personality.

I miss him!

And I miss Patoughmghmn! Actually, I'm concerned about that one. Hope he's managing okay.... . . . .. :(:unsure:

Sarah, you need to tell me the evildoer's name. I'm gonna do a voodoo hex! Make his penis fall off. Or just become horribly diseased.

Penises (er....excuse me...penii) falling off....... . . :blink::lol:

Perhaps another way to measure a cubit? Less variation with this....appendage....than with forearms?

No, phorget it.... . . . .methinks there is great variation.... .. ..... :lol:

I would also like some cleavage. Push-up bras help, but I just don't get the real deal. I'd have to have them pushed up to me mouth, and well, there ain't enough there to get remotely close...... <_<

Ryan! Nacho cheese! :lol:

Whenever I think of nachos (or when I make them), I ALWAYS think of our Sarah and the chip-up-her-nose introduction. :lol: Happier, happier times....... . ...I MISS SARAH IN SILLYVILLE!! :wub::(:angry:

Here's a bit of silliness that occurred today. I finally decided to bite the bullet and go to the doctor. My dad and the boys have all caught this cold from me and are already getting better, while I'm still hacking up a lung. Turns out I have bronchitis, borderline pneumonia-- that's not the silly part. (Duh.) My immune system is probably in the toilet right now, and my blood pressure skyrocketed back into danger territory. Not too surprising, hopefully it'll even back out soon... Anyway, the silly part...

My doctor has had the same nurse for quite awhile now-- a tall, blonde girl named Jade, very sweet, she's my buddy. But my doctor also always has PAs doing internships, nurses and EMTs doing workshops, all that kind of stuff, so there's often new people in and out.

Well, I'm sitting in the waiting room today, and the door opens, but it wasn't Jade who called my name. No, indeed, instead it was freaking Matthew McConaughey's clean-cut brother! I'm not sh!tting you, you guys, this dude was a total doppelganger, same voice and drawl, and everything! I thought I was gonna have a heart attack.

There I am, schlumped over in a chair, wearing my ratty old patchwork overalls, tank top underneath, and sandals. Eyes bleary, hacking up phlegm and trying not to pee myself every time I cough. He calls my name, and I have to stop myself from gesturing vaguely toward my face, saying, "Moi?" Hehe...

He took my vitals, and when he got to my pulse, he said, very concernedly, that it was really fast. I couldn't help it. A hoarse little snicker popped out before I could stop it. Oh well.

I just had to tell you guys about it. He was HOT.

They should do a re-check with a slatternly nurse, just to see if it's him, or you.

Sarah . . . so good to hear from you . . . and you deserve a bit of eye-candy if anyone does. Hope they gave you some good drugs for yer bronchitis . . . and that coughing/peeing thing only gets worse as you get older. They say bowling kegling is good for that though!!

Not only are you looking at other men, but you're looking at YUMMY other men! I'm just glad he wasn't your ob/gyn or proctologist ;)

Ohhh! Au contraire............. . . .....I think having a clean-cut Matthew, speculum in hand, holding cervical office may just make it all bearable! :lol:

OMG--I gotta go in a minute and get dinner but when Matt was born (24 years ago yesterday), the resident on the floor where I was was a guy I went to high school with :o Gawd.....and he didn't look like MM, either <_<

So, we were making small talk about who'd a thunk it while he was checking me out (I wanted to die, I was so embarassed but tried to act like I was cool with it) and he told me that another girl from our school was just down the hall having just had a baby.

Haven't thought about that in years :lol:

Due to Tropical Storm Hanna the beach trip for this weekend has been postponed. After a 3wk period hiatus and unprotected sex.....Jen talked to her 20 yr cousin who had casual sex again last night. Jen was pretty much telling her about her Phloosy behaviour only she used some not so nice words to describe her. SO anyway after Jen spoke to her she asked me to bring down my preg tests. We get stock piles of them from the hospital since all these drug companies send them for the research trials but my hospital does its own test for pregginess so we dont use and the company never wants them back. So I had a bag of them. Turns out she is not preggy...which is good!!!!

The Fun and Craziness never stops around here :o

Hey All my US sillies-- if you are bored tonight, check out the Stand up To Cancer TV program starting at 8, it is being shown on ABC, NBC, and CBS. It is all about cancer treatments and clinical trials and research and stuff. It is a nationwide event. Its been a big conversation at the med center of course but maybe if any one here is interested just to see what its about :)

Hehe, I have to admit, I never did have a problem LOOKING at the "menu." But this one was swoon-worthy. And NICE. And no ring. Can't help but be uplifted there...

Sigh... I was thinking last night, how my feelings have evolved over the past three weeks. At first I was just so horribly shocked and wounded, I kept thinking, "I can't do this, I'll never be able to get through this." And that was just looking at the fact that I would be apart from him.

I had NO IDEA how much worse it was going to get... The selfish cruelty, the heartlessness... that now finally, in an odd way, the worse he gets, the more I'm able to be glad I'm away from him. It would have come out one way or another eventually, I guess.

I keep thinking about an email Lisa (H) sent me- and I promise I'm going to write back- but... maybe this can be a fresh start for me, and the boys, too.

It's hard, and I'm mourning a lot of things right now, but...... despite being sick as a dog, this has been a decent day. :)

BTW, if I disappear for awhile, it's just Hanna. The rain kills the internet connection here. My parents have that Wild Blue satellite, and it stinks.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
