:angry::angry: - THOSE are NOT BRICK coloUred!!!! . . . THOSE are Cinder Block coloUred!!!! . . .

Aaaargh so close!!! Didn't think crutch :angry:

I think brick-coloUred tips must be factory-equipped, and replacements aren't. :P

So . . . I'm calling a do-over and changing my guess!!! . . . Is it a cinder block???

:lol: !

Hi Judith!!!!!!

My 'moody' cat is a female, spayed AND has ALL her teeth and claws (read: dangerous!!!)

To be honest , she would be better suited to live in peace and quiet with some little old lady doting on her :lol: .....but THAT ain't happening!!!.....Too much noise and people aggravate her :rolleyes:

The other cats are VERY wary of her!!

I'm a old lady. I can be doting and I have a BIG lap..........will you please trade cats with me?

:lol: chortling away to self whilst Shane is at a meeting -

:angry: (mad at self) Yes, the combination of the licorice scittie dogs and the potato chips is combustible :ph34r:

hope your explosion has occured while Shane was out of the office. :lol:

feel better sooz........what a combination of food i must say :ph34r:

Glad we got the 'rubber protection device' figured out :lol:

You may be right . . . . perhaps you guys would have simultaneously guessed correctly at about question # 5, had I not claimed that they are brick-coloUred. Indeed, must be a Canadian thing, as all the ones I've seen through me life are brownish-red. Perhaps a Commonwealth phenomenon? Nik?

Sure there's all these newfangled grEy, black & brown tips NOW, but I recall a lifetime of brick-coloUred crutchtips too - why doesn't everyone? :unsure:

well......I think it would have been really quite normal to find a condom in yer tub, in any condition.........seriously. not so weird, right? but - the rubber tip from a crutch :lol:

WHAT IN HELL??????????????

What I am now thinking is that it was in the tub before or during the time it was being filled with water? Did any of those workers have crutches? that you know of???????

and BTW - I used crutches once in my life, circa 1988......I DISTINCTLY remember the dull, beige-ish yellow on their tips..........I think Ptaums' outta his mind :blink: Or - maybe it's a regional thing? only yellow-coloUred tips in CA? :lol:

Emmm......I had a vision......Tis all clear to me now.......One of yer dogs has been accosting disabled and injured pholks and stealing their crutch tips. A groomer with a broken leg once clipped her topknot too short, and she's had her panties in a bunch over it ever since. If you excavate your yard, you will find that there are a multitude of these rubbers on your property. The one ended up in the ho'tub because on that day, she had just had her nails done, and she simply couldn't ruin a good manicure.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

this sounds good...............

but - another theory - - -

there was some sort of skirmish with a person on crutches and that victim's malfeasor, somewhere around Em's house/yard.

The victim flailed his/her crutch wildly and.........the tip of it flew over the roof and ended up in the tub. So, then, this person STABBED the perp with the naked, metal crutch end. Hence, you must alert the Canadian Mounties - and I mean RUN, DON"T WALK - to look for an evil-doer, in their CSI undertakings, with a perfectly circular one-inch diameter scar somewhere on his body (most likely his head, as this is where ALL rubberless crutch violent crimes are dye-rected). :lol:

And while yer at it, please ask Mr. Cho, he may know something.......why don't you march over there during his morning constitutionals tai chi, with the crutch tip in hand, and DEMAND he tell you what is going on.

:lol::lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Oh!

and Em, DO NOT forget to tell the Mounties that........there is a deranged, crutch-wielding LUNATIC - nay, MURDERER - loose in the city!!!!!! I forgot to tell you that - most likely the crutch victim is now killing people, because, in case you didn't know, that is ALWAYS what happens in cases like those. :lol:

And take that crutch tip in whilst you're telling the story, they'll need it for evidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take Sam Hill with you also - - his grEy coloUR really gives him away and....I just know that he's involved in this somehow.

:lol:

oh but wait - -

this is how you must preface your story:

"I found this brick-coloUred crutch-tip in my hot tub, and I just KNOW that someone is dead"

:lol:

OMG. . ....this is fascinating. The difference in rubber crutch-tip coloUrs, through personal memories, regions of residence........ . ..

Okay. Ptaoughmghmn, Leeesa and I have clear memories of brick-coloUred tips (hell, I have one drying out on my counter!). Who else? I have never, ever seen black tips....this would be bizarre to me. :lol:

Ohhhhhh. . ....... . .Leeeesa could be onto something. :lol::lol:

I will check my crutch tip for gnaw marks. Gad, i may have to dig up me yard. . . . ..

Actually, all kidding aside.......a dog chew toy is a GREAT idea for the odd crutch tip that turns up. It's useless without the crutch, but man, it's hard rubber, too big to choke on....you could break up little dog bickies and put them into the hole end, as we do with.. kongs.... . . .

Hmmm. Yes.....What else can I use this useless li'l thing for now?

Decidedly NOT as a necklace pendant.... . . . . ... :lol:

      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.

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.
