Well, thank gawd that, according to Jack anyway, those six trillion bacteria are on our feet, not on our arms - -otherwise, you'd be in a heap of PICC trouble, Bevel!

That is so crappy.....more heinous skin stuff for our lymie...... .. . :angry:

Soozie! This gardener's twenty-minute disappearance into his van . . ..... . .... . ..what in hell? How fascinating..... . . was the vehicle....um....moving at all? Like, back and forth, or circularly? Were there any.....noises coming from within? Did he look the same when he reappeared? Where was Stepford during this interlude?

Hmmmm. .. . . . . ..... . . ...must ponder this.. . . .. . ..

Hmmmm. .. . . . . ..... . . ...must ponder this.. . . .. . ..

:lol: :lol:

Okay please note, Em, that 'twas NOT a van. It was a trailer, with a gate that comes down so the machinery can be wheeled out. Curiously, I had just fully studied the inside of it earlier, as was coveting his blower......stood transfixed, in fact, as I stared at it and wondered if it had just too much power for the average citizen (me) to use.

So.....I did see the inside of this trailer......nothing but tools and equipment. Not even a bench or seat. I really expected a huge waft of marijuana smoke to come out when he was done (he works with his 13-y-old son so clearly had to hide his surreptitious activities). I walked out to smell it. Alas....none.

When we had our conversation, it was quite curious......he was sullen and unfriendly......VERY uncharacteristic. I asked if I could write him a cheQUE (for $10), as had done many times in the past. he was silent for many seconds and said no, he wants cash. :unsure:

See, there really WAS a dead body in there cartel going on.......I KNEW IT! :lol:

Never seen such a contraption. Sounds like something assembled on a Ford assembly line by a worker on marijuanna....... . :lol::lol:

Ten bucks? What on earth did he do for ten bucks?? Most pro yard guys won't even come into yer yard for less than thirty... . . .. <_<:lol:

Ah-hah! I have figured out the mystery!

The man has undiagnosed Celiac, he has a bucket in the trailer for his 'episodes', and he was suffering from brain fog and mood swings, hence his surly out-of-character reply!

Or perhaps he's just a smoker and he's tired of getting paid ten bucks a pop. What on EARTH does this guy do for ten bucks a pop?

(Note: I was only able to come up with the above scenario thanks to my boyfriend, who mows grass and keeps a bucket in his trailer for said purposes. He gets half the credit. Their crew really only uses it to pee out of sight though.)

Ya know I DO have a JOB! :P ......one where I cannot just poop into Sillyville......there be spies who monitor the goings on with all school computers :ph34r: ........although I do appreciate your finding me worthy of such a prestigious task. B)

<_< You haven't seen the size of my YARD. He will do my whole front yard for $10. Yup, that's right. I usually do it myself........and I am the ONLY person in all of Stepford who does these two things: hand-cuts the edges of the grass (yup, down on me hands and knees, pholks) and: sweeps it all up WITH A BROOM. People really do stare at me. :blink:

and BTW - nearly EVERYone has a gardener here, except me. <_< But you should see how very pedestrian the yards are. and grass.........why..........why......WHY do people grow grass in a desert......makes me insane......ever heard of DROUGHT-TOLERANT GROUND COVER??????????????

Gads! Balloon shaped sillies with nekkid punctures and ten dollar yards.

I got three pairs of sandally type shoes. I have whiny feet that don't cotton to the average shoe, so I usually end up going to Nordstroms ($$) but at least they fit. And then I got some dressy ones at payless for 8 bucks. go figure.

Nope . . . no mojo yet . . . just gladly reading along.

HOWEVER!!!!! I must share this with me sillies.

I started a new book for book club called The Lace Reader. Listen to all of these coincidences within the first six pages . . . She's originally from North Shores (Bev). Her mom lives on Yellow Dog (Susie) Island. She now resides in California (Susie & Tom). She was just released from the hospital (Amanda) due to a hysterectomy (Jess). She admits that she lies all the time (Emily . . . well, not that "admitting" part). Lord knows what will happen next!!

      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
    • Scott Adams
      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.
