Love the crutch idea.

Cold and snowy and the cats are very angry with me for doing this to them.

Must go plug in my electric kettle and make some tea.

Yes, yes, must chime in....HAAAAPPPPYYYY BIIIIRTHDAYYYY JOOOOOODYYYYY!!!!

Everyone come!!!! I have a big comfy couch divan, a big screen telly, tiger pig's to go all around, snacks and drinks! It would be GRAND!!

Be there in a bit (don't I wish...sigh). I grew up with 7 brothers and sisters and I really miss the group thing, especially this time of year. How wunnderfull twould be to snuggle and giggle under a tiger pig (my son had a ducky blanket) with tea and snacks and psilliness!

I think I'll pass on flashing the biddies to freeze them! Probably would get arrested for not being indecent enough! :lol: Already did the pap thing, our yearly required humiliation. The things that men get to miss! We just are not meant to be pressed into 2 dimensions! If you buy into the theory that causing certain cells to collide in 2 dimensions could cause a black hole.....possibly a gateway into another dimension....well, just think of the consequences. Piles of breasts suddenly appearing in another space-time continuum. What is a "person" in another place supposed to think about that? :unsure:

SamHill Manhead as the Godfather? What is the world coming to? :o

What exactly is an electric (eclectric?) Kettle? Never heard of one. I gave up the kettle on the stove and cheat with the microwave! Wunnerful things..those microwaves!

Peeaterr....love the image of kitty going to the door over and over. Mine used to do the same. You open the door, they look out, look up at you with pathetic confusion. Go to another door, repeat the process. I used to say that my Ivan was waiting for me to open the door to summer. He couldn't understand why I insisted on opening doors to winter...brrrr. I wish I had a door into summer, whenever I wished. I'd be there year 'round :D

Going for a mamogram this afternoon :angry: Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it. One can only hope. :huh:

I've an idea, Tuhreeesah. You're on the right track with the frozen idea - - you really will not feel anything if yer boobs are frozen...... . .Might I suggest standing outside the medical clinic, just before your appointment, and opening your coat, lifting up your sweater and bra, and letting them be completely exposed for, say, three or four minutes. You will be numb for an hour, perhaps, and will feel no discomfort from the squishing plates.

Yes, this is a grand idea. Must remember to re-jig my yearly appointment so that it falls in January instead of August. . . . . ....

NO!! NO!! NO!! Do not freeze the girls before squishing!!!! . . . Hubby was outside this morning, picked up the hose and it broke in half because it was frozen!!! . . . I would hate for yer breasts to just fall off because they were frozen when they were squished . . . twould probably hurt even more . . . um, when you thawed a bit.

Well. . . . . . I am certain that any man you're gonna talk to would give his first born to be hangin' out in that dimension . . .. ...

You guys don't do electric kettles?! Man....I actually don't own one, but they are a staple in this culture.....just need an outlet, and BANG! Tea!

Oh sillies- having an awphul day here.....me boss yelled at me....actually made me cry...but I did not let her dare see it. She is not going to get that satisifaction! She said awful things like I am draggin her name in the mud and I cannot grasp simple concepts and such....I am shuddering thinking about it.....

Anyway- I am no where near ready for christmas, and not very in the mood for it this year. So much to do with the move and all. Plus money is not something we have an abundance of. We were shopping for the nieces and nephews on Saturday and I am still outraged over the prices of toys! Sheesh!

So anyway still in the deep freeze here..... @ 12:45 it was only 22 degrees!

T'ain't right I say!!!....you MUST need boiling water for summat?? :unsure:

I may be wrong, but I've a hunch that tea (& boiling water as well) predates electricity. :P

Given that, even *I* used to have an electric kettle, & I'm not even a tea drinker!! (Hence the used to)

Didn't buy it - 'twere a take-home after running the tests at Underwriters Labs.

Dang phorum wouldn't lemme in last night, so . ... . much catching up to do.

Amanda!! I am so sorry to hear about the confrontation with your boss. . . . . ...there is nothing worse. Her behaviour sounds very unprofessional to me - - you are an adult, and no matter what you have done (if anything), you never deserve to be yelled at. Never. BAH! :( Sooooozie's right, however - - this too shall pass!!!

Speaking of Soooooze.....you and Weeze have some caring and nurturing to do over the next few days! The poor thing - - a painful anniversary, and the loss of her job! Jenn is going to be right where she needs to be over Christmas... . ...... :)

MIL's flight was cancelled from Whitehorse to Vancouver due to the blizzard-like conditions out west. BUT.... . .. . that strong, fierce English tenacity came rippling forth, and she got herself on another flight on Air North. So, she's now sitting at the Vancouver airport, waiting for a connecting flight. . . .

She could be tip-toeing in at 2am. Think I will put Sam Hill right in the entrance hall to welcome her.

:rolleyes:

      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.

      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...

      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.

      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.
