I have safely managed to NOT buy a puppy today, so far. :lol:

and BTW I'm so glad the trash was picked up yesterday, the stench of rotting carcasses in there was just getting embarrassing. :lol:

but soooooooooooooozieeeeeeeeeee that's no fun!! :unsure: go buy one!! :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: what was the grand total??

awesome!! just found out how to do a spoiler

:P and i love how it just works around the smileys ;)

oh and if any of u are jewish, HAPPY YOM KIPPUR!! (there's another color associated w/judaism, right?? is it gold?)

Is that a burgling bugler or bugling burglar?

Pffft! :P This from the one who goes to bed at ....9sumfin? :huh:

Soooooooo, my interview was a breeze, as expected. I'm horrendously overqualified, almost even on a slow-brain day.

But part-time is all I'm ready to try.

Not sure when I'll hear back, but should get a better idea tomorrow. :)

it's a burgling bugler of course! ...... unless he's routinely burgling from Wall-Mart... :o *dashes off to check his pockets*

pffft urself!!! puhleezze :P *stereotypical teenage-girl attitude* i don't go to bed until 11:30! what about u? :P

Patti - :lol: Yes, Judith (I LOVE when you call her that) has a mean cat, I think........or is it just aloof? quite a difference, methinks.......but I'm pretty sure that Nikerler has a mean, intolerant cat also......

Aloof my arse........... :lol: The damn cats tries to eat me alive :ph34r:

so much for our 'rescue' cat.............. :angry::ph34r: I'll pay to ship him to ya.......you want a kitty don't you?

I know Judith's cat bites.....poor woman has to be mighty carephul in the middle of the night.

Maybe tomorrow I'll mosey on up to the PC upstairs and try the new phun psymbols. :D

I'll send some photos with the blood running down Jim's arm next time if i have time before i have to find the turequet. :P

PATTI'S GOING TO ...........MOSEY ON UP.........TOMORROW............ :lol: CAN I COME AND WATCH??????????

edit--SEE TOM

HOW DID THE JOB GO.?

WELL I HOPE.

I phorgot to answer this! :lol:

Yes!! I really like that show--so soapy :P Last night, there was a definate emphasis on the "sexy" B)

Julie and other laptop users...........well, you're just all going to have to buy PC's now, aren't you, to join in on the psymbol phun. :lol:

:lol: I guess so, and a perfectly good reason it is to buy one!

I'm wichya Sooz--I'd pay darn near anything for the perfect hair product. I looked into Ouidad, and a lot of it contains gluten. Wheat must have some kinda magical effect on hair :lol: cause it's in just about all the products I'm interested in.

Basically what it's come down to now is something that lathers and doesn't make me sick <_<:angry:

Me too, or three. If I found something that tamed this mane I would drop, well pretty much any amount (within reason :lol: )

Bummer on the Ouidad <_< , Susie peaked my interest in it.....I read something about the wheat protein smoothing out the curly hair shaft er cuticle er sumfin, which is what we curly haired want, smoothness!!

I am forever looking for the right product :rolleyes:

Soooooooo, my interview was a breeze, as expected. I'm horrendously overqualified, almost even on a slow-brain day.

:lol: :lol: :lol: This HAS been discussed here before, hundreds of pages ago........'tis one of me phay-vrets :lol:

TOM! This part-time thing sounds PERFECT !!!!!!!!!! I myself am doing a PT gig for which I'm overqualified - and under-confident. :( But - it's working out PERFECTLY and.........we start our grant-writing in November - hoping to WRITE ME IN for this job on a permanent basis.

Baby steps, my friend....... :)

and yes, I DO go to bed at 9 - sumfin', but don't fall asleep until MUCH later ;)

I believe he was fine once he started going to Janet's house.

*snort* :lol:

what was the grand total??

:unsure: of what? the dead carcasses? only two........... :huh:

and yes, they DO go pppffffffttt to the queen here in Sillyville. Get used to it. :lol:

and, for your FURTHER edification, the correct answer is 20. Twenty emoticons are allowed per post. Ptaughohgm was correct.

Begging your pardon, your majestical Majesty, but I was pftttt-ing Miss PseuzeeQueue, the early-to-bed one w/ the carcassy trash.

Aloof my arse...........The damn cats tries to eat me alive

so much for our 'rescue' cat..............I'll pay to ship him to ya.......you want a kitty don't you?

:unsure: Weezee is REALLY scared of big, mean cats.......Lauren's cat drew blood when it jumped on her arse................. NO BIG MEAN CATS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So no, Judith, please don't ship him to us :lol:

Bummer on the Ouidad , Susie peaked my interest in it.....I read something about the wheat protein smoothing out the curly hair shaft er cuticle er sumfin, which is what we curly haired want, smoothness!!

Julie, does the DRIED WHEAT product on hair make any difference? I'd sure as hell use it....... :unsure: Because, if it's DRIED, and it's on our HAIR, wouldn't it only hurt us if we sucked or ate our hair?

Judith, here it is

It has been a busy day, and when I phinally got on here, there was much catching up to do.

I hope I remember all the questions I need to respond to.

For those having trouble with Alt-7 et cetera, make sure that the <num lock> is on. If it isn't, strange things may happen. When num lock is off, the 7 on a the keypad is <home>. Some browsers (including Firefox) interpret <alt><home> as meaning, "get out of wherever I am, and take me to my home page." If you do this by accident, your <back> key or button will unto it.

Laptop and notebook users can access this functionality, but it is a bit awkward. Your numeric keypad is overlaid on the built-in keyboard. When activated, the keypad is formed by the keys 789/UIO/JKL/M becoming 789/456/123/0 respectively. Activation may vary on some models, but on most the toggle is <shift><scroll lock>. Activate the keypad, hold <alt> and type the number for the character, release <alt>. Enter more extended character codes, if desired, and the hit <shift><scroll lock> again to return to normal. On my ThinkPad, a light with the digit 1q inside an arrow is lit when the keypad is active.

I don't know where Emily's cursor went. Maybe Gus ate it when she wasn't looking. :lol:

My contribution to the menagerie is five cats in all, three at home and two at the store, and one fish. Each of the cats has, at some time or another been my avatar. Our fish is camera shy, and has never been photographed.

I'm outa here again--the season premiere of CSI is on in five minutes. :)

I am having a heck of a time finding shampoo and conditioner formulated for curly hair without wheat proteins (and soy, which I need to stay away from also)...

I also use Neutrogena on my artificially created curls.....the Clean Replenishing moisturizing shampoo. My conditioner is Biolage Conditioning Balm.......no wheat or soy anything, unless it's hiding under some other name.....................................but what the phark is bladderwhack??????? :unsure::ph34r:

Emily 2 dogs

Laura 2 cats one puppy

Are there any Psillies coordinated enough to pull this off???.... . . . . . . . . ....sounds like that extra arm would come in handy. :P

The girl I interpret for joined a girls running club at school. She wanted me to stay after school with her.......it was quite fun. Don't know if I'll be able to get paid for it yet, but I might just keep going either way. I actuallyjogged walked tried to run ran with them. I can't remember the last time I ran....even to get to the other end of the hall......without my legs tingling really bad. I've also been playing basketball with the kids at recess! :D

They think it's a hoot! One girl was shouting to her friends that Mrs. H is trying to play basketball ! <_< ......I showed them!....My team won! :P

Hee hee, well I am extremely allergic to wheat and gluten and slightly to soy and since I have skin stuff going on I am staying away from anything topical as well with these ingredients.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
    • Ello
      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
    • trents
      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response. 
    • trents
      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
