POeter! Jack is well into the second installment in yer brother's first parallax......this one is Humans. We were trying to recall - - did you not say that some big movie people are in discussion with him about one of his works? This would be truly exciting. . . . .... :)

Rob has sold film rights to some of his works, although none have yet been produced. I don't recall just which ones they are.

The story is hard to put down. Jack has it easy. When he finishes a book, the next one is at the book store. I read them as they came out from the publisher (I did not get advance copies), and so had to wait about a year between books each time.

Rob was not inspired in any way by Sam in the creation of the Neanderthal trilogy. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited. :ph34r:

Several posts were made while I was composing this. :o

Gawd, I'll say! Every time I look at Jack, he's reading the book. Walking home from school, eating supper, sitting on the toilet. . . . ...... . . .. :rolleyes:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo :mortifiedface:

Thought I uploaded a new av but it failed and now won't upload ANY av!!!!

********* *********** **********

Oh yeah .. ...speaking of Wasilla . ..

Brother Pat's mailing addr was Wasilla, tho technically the llama ranch was a little outside of town.

It's just such an unremarkable little town. For groceries we'd head over to nearby Palmer.

Not to buy meat, tho ;)

I bet I had mooseburgers the first night there, and moose sausage the next morning. Mmmmmmmmmm :droolface:

Sausages made by a pro from moosemeat brought in by the end-user/hunter.

Oy . ...woik wearin' me brain out!

Yesterday I didn't even notice the *&*@^% pull-up resistor I should've removed before even TRYING to get valid data. <arrrrrrrrrrgh!!> :angry:

Ended up looking stupid in front of the boss. :( And so now I've got to 1st make up for that before accumulating more on the plus side. The goal is to make the boss wonder how they ever got by w/out me :lol:;) , but missing that *&^%$#@ pull-up put me in a hole.

OH! OH!! I even - for I think just the 2nd time in my LIFE - had a pen spew ink, whilst in-pocket, making a 4-5" wet spot - not just a stain, oh no. I didn't even notice until feeling wet skin.

So .. . .. ..who's got a phlipover, voodooing their way into my taking the hit??? :wacko::angry:

Morning Sillies-

Time for my morning rant...

This mornings topic: Keeping Communication Lines Open @ your Employment Facility!

Mind you this happened yesterday but I am still pi$$ed off about it.

Let me start off by saying that the place I work leases the computers we use. They have a contract through Dell and we get new computers on 3 year leases which is how we always have pretty current computers. So our computers get switched all the time, usually depending on around the time you started your job since that was when it was typically purchased. So now the only 2 in my office that have not got the new computers are myself and my buddy next to me, we have both had our 3 yr anniversary dates last month.

So here is how it works- when the lease is running out, we get an email from the Heme office upstairs asking if one of our computers matches up to the serial number in the email. So while I was off with my dad an email went around and it didnt match either computer. Monday I come in and I get this strange message about security settings and such- I knew it was legit when it said contact the help desk and gave the ext. # for our help desk. So I called and here the whole security system turned off 10/1/08 on my system. Which was odd....and there were never any messages about it expiring nothing. The help desk was confuzzled as was I. Luckily no viruses came on this computer in the almost 2 months since the program failed. They fixed it and we went to work. At the end of Monday another email came through my office about the lease expiring on a machine...once again no matches. So i called the woman who sends the emails....she basically told me this is not a priority blah blah blah. I explained I was not in a rush but if you keep sending the emails and nothing is matching there is a problem.....She was rude to me---which only adds to the frustration and I hung up the phone.

Yesterday morning- I come in and I could no longer print from our Lab results system to the big copier. I can't use the printer on my desk since I lent my coworker the black ink cartridge....which is a different story. So I once again call the help desk where the tell me the reason things are not working is the lease expired on my computer.....in JULY!!!!! So now I have a computer which the longer it sits on my desk the more money the hospital loses since once it is not turned in after so long once the lease runs out they are obligated to buy the computer....not good. So I had IT send the email confirming the lease ran out. They had to put old versions of our lab system and other med programs we use here on since the machine is not reading the new stuff.....Mind you this computer is only 3 yrs old.....but still. I get off the phone and send an email to the rude lady, my boss and another person in the heme office....as of this morning no responses...the email was sent @ 9 am yesterday.....

When the computer broke @ lunch time again....the help desk said look we really are not obligated to help fix it now- since it is off a lease...so here I sit....with my computer working when it wants to and no help for us......

I just sent my boss another email saying look I need to sit down with you this is important....We will see!!!!

Bye sillies- off to attempt some work!

Tom, you're outta practice. When you do something like that, the proper response is "Wow that's easy to miss, I wonder how many other people totally screwed it up and never caught their mistake"

Jan-it,

Scott switched the board to another server last night, so that's probably why this happened. The change is now complete, so I'm sure if you re-post your avatar, it'll stick. :)

I just tried mine and it didn't work either. Hopefully Scott will be able to shed some light on this.....mine reverted to the kitty picture before on it's own. I'm wondering whether it lost some memory around the time all the Sam avs went up?

My avatar had regressed to one from about a week ago--the Emily & Peter photo. I have just reloaded my Samatar, so we'll see in a moment what shows up.

Edit: The reload was successful and Sam is back.

People. .. ..... . .. .do you really, honestly think that this glitch, this sudden, odd disappearance of all avatars featuring Sam Hill Manhead, was technically generated??

Only his.

He's playing with us, I am sure of it. .. ...Something is angering him, causing him to wreak minor havoc into our lives... . . ...

WHAT IN SAM HILL???? :unsure:

I am Askeert NAY bereft at the loss of Burundian manatars!!!!

EDIT:...THEY'RE baaaack!!!!

Just back from the hospital - all went well with Al's leg op - many THANKS to all me sillies for your kind words and prayers :wub:

Al is STARVING!!...impatiently waiting for dinner, no pain (but holy crap!...he's had enough pain relief drugs to knock out a horse!!)

Oddly enough whereas for most the anaesthetic + drugs make them feel sleepy, Al goes the other way :huh: ....goes a bit hyper and is currently talking the hind leg off a donkey :lol:

The nurse comes out tomorrow to change his dressings and to check all is well.......NO school for at least 10 days!!!

OH, and NARY a scrap of gluten-freeness available on the day care unit......they kept trying to force a cheese sandwich on him :rolleyes: (I expected as much and took our own supplies) ...... slightly worrying nonetheless. :(

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
