Morning Sillies-

twas starting a reply and then my boss came and asked me to take a walk with her :( but it was all for a good thing--I didn't know that until we got to our destination. The Clinical Trials office has finally gotten its own lab and I am responsible for it. We will start using it in a month. One of my coworkers is my backup. So we went up to see it. This has been a long day coming and I am so excited it is here. There is a lot to do between now and then but oh so nice :):):)

Nope . . . I do believe that Oracle Peter was correct . . . Gus ate it!! . . . and just like most dogs, when they eat something they shouldn't, he barfed it back up. Now keep it someplace safe, because just like most dogs, just because they threw it up once doesn't mean they won't eat it again!!!

Ah. . . . . but wait! You may be onto something, Janet, but ya got the wrong dog. I am taking Elsie into the vet today for something revolting that's happening to her left eye - - conjunctivitus, I'm guessing....and as she is the one who eats amazing things, brings them forth and consumes them again, there may just be a connection. . . . hmmm .. . . .cursor gone, Elsie's eye starts running....cursor returns, eye holding its own, perhaps a little better. Must ask the vet.

"All right, Dr. Kline, I think I may have things figured out. The cursor on my PC suddenly disappeared a couple of days ago, and within hours, Elsie's eye began to look red and inflamed. . . ......She very likely consumed my cursor (she does eat bizarre items, so it makes perfect sense), and had some type of allergic reaction. The cursor's back, and the eye isn't weeping nearly as much"........ . .

Yep, this all phits perfectly. But mygawd, the implications...... . .I may have to designate our house a cursor-free enviornment. . . .......

:huh:

That would be the Official Emoticonstabulary, out of the UK . . . Nikki may have more pull with those blokes.... . . ..

:lol: Read that as I'd have to pull these blokes (ye olde English way of saying you've been 'lucky in love' ;) )

....e.g.

<man says to women in a bar>

'Get yer coat luv....you've pulled'

Wow. . .. .here I was simply suggesting that you may have more influence over their ERP (Emoticary Regulation Policies)..... . . but it looks like I've inadventently suggested that you sleep with the lot of 'em in exchange for a larger emoticon quota.. .... :lol::o

Um. . . ....

Would you consider moving in that direction?........ :lol:

Sounds to me like Elsie has a cursor intolerance.

You might want to get her tested for cursory disease BUT you must throw the cursor back to her if you do....it's VITAL she keeps eaten them until she's had the tests.

I hear ya, Nik. I suppose I now have many questions for the vet..... . . are there traces of cursors in other things? Can a cursor cross-contaminate other computer icons that she may ingest? If she's sensitive to one, may she have other intolerances? Could she react to a @, or *, or the troublesome + and = combination?

Must write these queries down . .. . ....

WHAT one????

I luv CSI

I think I have errant teen fatigue

Well, OMG, I SWITCHED, totally cheated on Grey's last night (I am sooooooooo sick of the stupidity of it, when I saw that there was going to be a bleedin' FLOOD in the hospital <_< I watched CSI, every minute of it, didn't even channel flip! Quite a good show......believe I am breaking up wif Grey's for good....... :o

Errant Teen Fatigue.......oh dear, Nik. :concernedface:

I believe this calls for me latest fave, FRESH-SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE (from me trusty old juicer) with vodka. Be here around 6. <----- note how we can cleverly thwart the Emoticonstabulary now wif our little ALT smileys.........

SoohZeigh, you've had some fantabulous pics of WheeZill up lately . . . my complimnets.

So . . . do you think they're all there (OBX) now? . . . :wishingIwastherebutcan'tpossiblyswingonemoretripthisfall:

Making cupcakes for Skeeter. She's got three birthday parties within an 8 day period to attend!!! Jeesh!!! All of them serving pizza and cake. She gets to pack a lunch (so to speak) and gets a gluten-free cupcake with pink icing and sprinkles.

Brief vent. Went to my dermatologist. 9am appt, should be the first of the day, right? The assistant takes me to a room about 9:10 and says "Just so you know, he's not here yet. But he'll be here in 10 or 15 minutes." Excuse me???? I have to show up on time to my job! (OK, I don't, but just for arguments sake...). So asked if this is common? Today only? Always on Friday? She said, pretty much every day :o !!

WTH! I don't think I need an MD that doesn't feel the need to show up promptly for his own office hours! :angry:

Ok, thanks. Feel better

This one I can relate to--my GP in Jersey did the exact same thing. No point having the first appointment because you'd end up sitting there for 20 minutes or so until she arrived and got herself together. Aggrivating :angry:

If they know they won't even BE there to see patients by a certain time, here's a thought......don't schedule them!! :huh:

Thus the true reason behind all the colorful pictograms.............Elsie's cursory disease has given her a bout of D and she has shat rainbow heiroglyphics all over Sillyville! :o

..........Did she also happen to injest some Skittles?

But it has been quite entertaining, I have been GOL (giggling out loud) catching up on the last 5 or 6 pages, hee hee

Amanda, exciting news about the job :D

What else?

Janet, I want to come live at yer house. Fresh gluten-free baked goods on demand!!

Emily's missing cursor, cursor intolerance, cross cursor contamination :lol: Ouch, that sounds a bit painful with Elsie's eyes, hope those drops help :)

Excellent vent Jess!

Manchester!! I knew there was a word I needed to add into my vocab...that and "squicky" was it Patti?

Ugh, was bored to tears last night with Greys, I think I am packing it in as well Susie. How can something that was so good turn to such CRAAAAAAp?!?! I recorded CSI and have yet to watch it, as well as Eleventh Hour with Rufus Sewell (sp?) , yer countryman Nikki :D I have a slight crush on him, I know he was the awful boyfriend in The Holiday and played some pretty crooked characters in Helen of Troy, Knight's Tale, etc, but there is just sumfin about him....

      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.
