Not much for me to say tonight. We have had two days of quiet this weekend, and now expect to be working every day from now until Christmas.

Sarah, we're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. :wub:

Emily, no snow expected here, but it is bloody cold--expected to hit -15 overnight. Brrrr. That is enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, as they say. :ph34r:

My guess is:

Baked some gluten-free projectiles.

and. from me folks:

FRANK

A man walked out to the street and caught a taxi just going by. He

got into the taxi, and the Cabbie said, "perfect timing. You're

just like Frank."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all

the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things

happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could

have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros.

He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and

you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."

Cabbie: "There's more ... He had a memory like a computer. He

remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which

foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix

anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street

blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right."

Passenger: "Wow, some guy then."

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid

traffic jams. Not like me. I always seem to get stuck in them.

But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to trea

t a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back

even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always

immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He

never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank

Feldman."

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank. He died and I married

his f**king widow."

Doctors' Opinion of Financial Bail-Out Package:

The Allergists voted to scratch it, and the

Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the

Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve, and the

Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

The Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. The

Pathologists yelled, 'Over my dead body!' while the

Pediatricians said, 'Oh, grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the

Radiologists could see right through it, and the

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the

Plastic Surgeons said, 'This puts a whole new face on the matter.'

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the

Urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the

Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the

Proctologists left the decision up to some a$$holes in Washington

Brass monkey balls .. . . . .. :lol:

Hmm....a Burundian brass monkey?

Beaverly Snackle South Tower.... . :lol:

Jack did leave with a li'l suitcase, containing what, I just dunno, as he insisted on packing it himself. Mehopes Will had a peek inside it before they left, as I have a growing suspicion that The Ripper would have prioritized the following:

Four pairs running shoes

One T shirt

One pair underwear

Twelve pairs sports socks

Three baseball caps

And the final thing: his yo yo.

Yep, that's probably the entire contents of that li'l suitcase. . .....I'm starting to feel a bit pleased that I'm not there . . .. . . :rolleyes:

Leeesa missed Michael Bolton! Well.......um.....I would have been somewhat relieved to have missed him, I'm afraid... . . . .. :ph34r: .... . . he don't do nuttin' fer me . .. . ..

He ain't no Frank.......!

But then, no one else is. . . ..

Michael Bolton? I have to ponder this......I would not be sad if I'd missed seeing Michael Bolton

:ph34r::lol:

But - David Hasselhoff - would be very disappointed to miss that one :lol:

Does it have something to do with hair?

NO! it does not! but good guess

**Oh Christmas Twa, Oh Christmas Twa ..**

OK, one guess - shaved your head?

nope, did not shave me head.

well, all right, it's not that exciting, I"ll just tell you all.

Gail came over around 3 for frothy screwdrivers. Oh my, they were delish. Well, we ran out of vodka early on, and we realized we were not feeling quite as silly as we thought we should be feeling, so we drove to Trader Joe's and got some Patron A

Okay, I guess I have to deal with all this interest in my tool.

I possess a wonderful tool. It is 9-1/2 inches long and is steel-hard. It is rounded at the end with a hole in it. It works best with a repeated motion, and it can be operated with only one hand.

Click here to see it. :ph34r:

Hey! Just got an email from The Ripper. Nikerler, if you don't know the accuracy of this "fact" that Jack has told me, please check it out, as I must know if it is true:

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England, but only in tropical fish stores.

      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.
