Judy! I have often thought of this, wished it even. . . . I often want another arm. The question remains: Where would the best place be for it to function most effectively, to pick up the slack, to be in the best spot to perform what my other arms/hands miss? It's fascinating to ponder. . . . . do I want it out the centre of me back, to do chores and small jobs that can be done with my back turned, not requiring direct watching? To most easily fix my underwear/jeans when they're riding up my butt?

How about out the top of me head? For waving above everyone else at airports, concerts, auctions. . . . . ...

Between my boobs, to separate them (they'd look better, methinks), and to carry that extra grocery bag in front, to shake hands with the third person I meet in a group. . . . . ...

....Dunno. . . . . . must ask The Ripper. . . . . . ... :lol:

as for the arm, i vote for an extra long one in the middle of the stomach with a brain of its own (which always complies w/mine) that allows me to multitask w/o messing both things up :lol:

HI ALL

good ideas for sure

I think i need one in me front somewhere.

yes ask the Ripper......

I sure need an exta arm Dangling ...........SOMEWHERE!

ha just saw a post from Janet...dang you guys are fast.............WELCOME HOME........AGAIN..........JANET :lol:

POOP IN time! I am enjoying having 2 arms for a change (and you guys want 3- ha!)

New queen? Ooh ooh....perhaps we should elect a prince/princess like one of the pups or kitties in the thread. Queen Weezee? King Gus?

An Uncle Ray for y'all:

Five Surgeons are discussing the types of people they like to Operate on.

The first surgeon says: I like to see accountants on my operating table because when open them up, everything inside is numbered.

The second responds: 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians!Everything inside them is color-coded.

The third surgeon says: 'No, I really think librarians are the best; Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.

The fourth surgeon chimes in: 'You know, I like construction Workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine . Plus, the head and the arse are interchangeable :lol:

DD had a biopsy recently of a rash. She's had it for months. Doesn't really look like pictures I've seen of DH, but seems to get worse when she eats gluten. Results came back negative for celiac....not sure if he even did it right......but positive for lupus. The dermatologist isn't convinced that diagnosis is accurate, so he's running blood tests for lupus, celiac, and thyroid.

Mammoth Cave in . . . wait for it . . . Cave City, Kentucky. . . largest known cave in the world.

Each year we pick a different tour to go on. This year we went on the "Snowball Tour"

Duration: 3 hours

Walking Distance: 2 miles

Sells Out at: 38 visitors

Restroom Available: Yes

Description: Descend nearly 200 stairs at the Carmichael Entrance of Mammoth Cave, pass the craggy breakdown of the Rocky Mountains and enter gypsum encrusted Cleaveland Avenue. This tour showcases gypsum in various crystalline shapes and sizes. The beautifully elliptical Cleaveland Avenue terminates in the Snowball Room, viewed by visitors since the 1840s. Food may be purchased from the park's concessionaire during the 45 minutes spent in this room, traditionally a 20th-century underground meal stop. Visitors retrace Cleaveland Avenue, ascending nearly 200 stairs at the Carmichael Entrance.

Elevation Change: 267 feet

Number of Stairs: Approximately 400 (183 are descended on the way in and ascended upon exiting the cave)

Steep Hill Climbs?: The 183 stairs at the exit

Restrictions: General Restrictions apply

Because we were such a small group (we had less than twenty on our tour), our guide took us to see a couple of other things. However, if you ask the kids what their favoUrite part was . . . buying candy and eating it (at picnic tables) in the snowball room. And they were amazed at the restrooms . . . actually, I was too. I thought they would be a lot more . . . um . . . gross? . . . primative? . . . not that I was expecting posh or anything, I just expected more port-o-let-ish. The candy and seeing a bat in the cave were the highlights!! :lol:

methinks u spies right! i'm a terrible... wait, no, i guess an amazingly fantastic procrastinator... but i can never get any big project (like, i dunno, say, an essay?) done until i'm under serious pressure and deadlines, and u would think that it being due tomorrow would be enough to freak me out but noooooo :angry:

Hey! Just got back from Sophie's first hockey game of the season.....they won 1-0. She was very busy in front of the net. Oy, here we go. . . . another nerve-wracking season as a goalie's mom has begun. . .. . . . . . :rolleyes:

And I put that crazy jester to use - - threw him out onto the ice, on skates, between periods to entertain the parent spectators. Wouldn't you know it, though... . . out thundered the trumpeter, competing for attention. There was a brawl. The benches cleared. . .. frenzied bugling and tambourining. . . .craziness. the jester and trumpeter were penalized, and put in the box. Had their trumpet and bugle confiscated. :lol:

Bah. How embarrassing. I do hope, after all of these misadventures wif my monarchical coloUr staff, that I am not Queen again until these gentlemen iron things out, and return to a respectible level of professionalism. :huh::lol:

Sounds like a phab trip, Janet!

Lisa. . . . ....we'll have to keep an eye out fer that DD o' your'n around here - - you may have to start behaving yerself!

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Erica!! Did you pull an all-nighter? About whom did you choose to write? You must tell us all, in precis form. . ... . . .

Well, it's picture day at Jack's school. He's all spiffed up in his uniform, and has said that he is relieved that he does not have zits yet, "like my sister!" Of course, announced loudly, in her presence.. . . ...Then the repeated script ensues:

"Yeah, well . .. ...at least I don't have BABY FAT all over my face, still!"

"Yeah? Well, thank gawd I don't have a huge BUM like yours!!"

"Oh, yeah?? Well, the photo company just may refuse to take yer picture this year - - might cause massive damage to the internal camera computer!"

"Ha! I'll bet YOUR school will refuse to put your photo in their yearbook....too embarrassed!!"

It's something I hear fairly regularly at this time of year. Jack's parting shot will be some advice about Sophie wearing her goalie mask for her shot, as it will look best that way. . . . ..

Gad. :rolleyes::lol:

Morning Sillies-

Welcome to Monday---pretty blah here but hoping for a better week. Last week was terrible between the pink eye thing, Landen being so sick, no luck in the housing area and then yesterday I was mean and said something to Jen which I shouldnt have said and made her cry--plus while making dinner last night I was straining water off pasta and dumped the pot of boiling water and half of it spilled on my barefeet....luckily it looks good today...there is some sunshine!

So I am hoping for a much better week.

      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.
