The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[DingoGirl]

Sillies--I ate way too much pizza It was so good, I couldn't stop As if that wasn't bad enough, I topped it off wif homemade rice pudding. I'm very uncomfortable right now.

YUM!!!!!!! this is what I would do, and then would feel positively VOMITIOUS for quite a while.

Not sick--just stuffed.......had to change into me big fluffy robe--jeans got too tight

Paddeigh - OMG. the MOST alarming thing about this sentence is that........you were STILL in your jeans at - well, you're three hours ahead, so, must have been around 10 pm when you changed into your phluphy robe???????????

simply inconceivable to me. I just HATE constrictive clothing..........jeans are like a straightjacket - wear them in public, of course, but the MILLISECOND I get home - - any type of clothing is IMMEDIATELY changed into sweats or pj's or some long, flowing summer gown, period. To have jeans on at home is just.........a particular version of hell, in my opinion.

I would wear sweats/pluphy robe/pj's/boxer shorts every single day of my life, all day long and in public, if I could.

One reason I love my new job: have gone in unshowered at least once, and in sweats a few times

No reason a'tall to even TRY and look cute there

everyone is trick-or-treating! Or - scaring the poor participants (i.e. Bev - - nekkid, smeared with chocolate, pheverish, wearing metallic eyelashes and in a violent herx )

night-night sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taking my Toblerone bar to bed now...........

my two favorite shows coming up:

Wife Swap (a phreak show)

The Ex List (adorable)

[psawyer]

When are you meeting up with Em tomorrow?

We are planning on 12:30, but I am waiting to hear about the fairy ferry'schedule, so it is a bit phluid. Transportation logistics turned out to be a challenge, so we are going to meet at Open Original Shared Link on Bayview instead of at the store. A long, leisurely gluten-free lunch is planned. We wish all the sillies could be there, but I think a party that large would overwhelm the place.

am SO STINKIN' JEALOUS of your ren-day-voo at this phab restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - Wife Swap is unbelievably phabulous

a white/American Rastafarian family living in Florida, $3 in their bank account, four dread-locked little kids who all sleep in one bed, a dad who plays in a band for a living, and........days decided by who feels what whim..........

versus

Marine Corps father and wife/family in a sterile, military home in Texas who assign all chores on a coloUr-coded spreadsheet <shudder>

this wife has never heard of Jah or Rastafarianism, and she is extremely askeert

:lol:

pure, catastrophic, clashing joy

I need a life

Where's Joolie, I bet she's watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

We'll be there in spirit!! Have phun--it sounds great.

A phull report will be expected......

[jerseyangel]

OMG - Wife Swap is unbelievably phabulous

I saw the preview fer that one

We just watched the end of a George Carlin show on HBO--I was on CNN overload and couldn't take one more word about politics

[Green12]

SILLIES, it's after 10 pm here and I am NOT on a chocolate/sugar high....but I so wish I was, harrumph!!!!!!!!

I was surrounded by copious amounts of candy, pumpkin bar, and chocolate cake eating all night long

GAH!

Where's Joolie, I bet she's watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I'm not, goofball! Don't ya remember I had plans?!?!

Please tell me The Ex List wasn't on!! I did a tv schedule search before I left and I didn't see it, don't tell me they cancelled it already :extremelyworriedfacethattheymighthavecancelledthecutestshowever:

(i.e. Bev - - nekkid, smeared with chocolate, pheverish, wearing metallic eyelashes and in a violent herx)

This is exactly how I was picturing Bev today!!!

Sillies--I ate way too much pizza It was so good, I couldn't stop As if that wasn't bad enough, I topped it off wif homemade rice pudding. I'm very uncomfortable right now.

I need to learn to stop eating when comfortably full...... but it was so good

I'm still so freaking phull

Not sick--just stuffed.......had to change into me big fluffy robe--jeans got too tight

Where IS everyone??

PATTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All your posts cracked. me. up. HEE HEE HEE!!!!!!!!

Glad you got to have some yummy treats......even though you overindulged a tad bit, a smidgen. Or a lot

simply inconceivable to me. I just HATE constrictive clothing..........jeans are like a straightjacket - wear them in public, of course, but the MILLISECOND I get home - - any type of clothing is IMMEDIATELY changed into sweats or pj's or some long, flowing summer gown, period.

Omg, SUSIE Q!! I knew we were kindred spirits but this explains exactly why :morelaffyfaces:

I am the SAME way, you just described to a "t" exactly how I am, and how I feel on the matter!

FUN! FUN! FUN! Have a good get together you guys, can't wait to hear all about it

Hope everyone had a good Halloween/Friday evening

[psawyer]

Good morning, all!

A chilly but clear day will dawn soon here in the Great White North!

Must run. So much to do, so little time.

So what do all these mean, and what results mean positive?

The total IgA measures your ability to make IgA antibodies. The IgA test is not a test for Celiac. However, if you are IgA deficient, it means that the IgA based tests are pretty unreliable, and you could have Celiac, and not test positive for it. Also, IgA deficiency is more common in Celiacs than the general population.

If you are IgA deficient, they can run the tTG or EMA via IgG (which is not affected by IgA deficiency)

Of the other four tests, none are perfect. The tTG IgA and EMA IgA are newer tests. Some doctors don't use the AGA tests anymore as they are not as sensitive or specific.

If someone tests strongly positive on the tTG or EMA, its pretty likely they have Celiac. Some people have Celiac and don't test positive on any of the tests, as the severity of damage in the intestines seems to be correlated with some of the bloodwork (meaning, more patchy/less severe/beginning stages of Celiac may not test positive via bloodwork)

Open Original Shared Link has good info on testing.

Next step is often the biopsy - depends on the doctor, tests results, symptoms, etc.

Also, taking gluten out of someone's diet, as you know, and having improved symptoms doesn't diagnose Celiac, but ---- it does take away the symptoms.

Anyone needs to keep eating gluten before testing.

SILLIES, it's after 10 pm here and I am NOT on a chocolate/sugar high....but I so wish I was, harrumph!!!!!!!!

Aw Julie Were you at a party wif lucious looking goodies? Bah!! I hope you were able to bring sumphin yummy fer yerslph at least.

The Ex-List? Is that the show wif the girl from Grey's Anatomy who had to have her whole phace rebuilt? If it is, I think I read it has been cancelled If it's not the same girl/show, then false alarm

Must run. So much to do, so little time.

Hee!! Yes--like getting ready to meet Em

Bunnie, Laura explains the blood stuff so well--I wasn't ignoring yer question, but I never had the bloodwork (till recently ) and I'm just not nearly as well-versed about it as Laura is. It confuses me a little

[Jestgar]

Goin' for my walk in the dark. So wadddya think? Will the cemetery be less cold the day after hallowe'en? Or do they not bury people with a calendar in their hands?

[Judyin Philly]
