Professor Ted is me....my initials are T.E.D. Some of my co workers call me Ranger Ted at the Park Service :P

What I meant by like units, 2 of the same species, being alike but not identical, means it could be male and female, (or 2 males, or 2 females if you prefer....but 2 of the same sex are identical in anatomy as well as alike). I guess I didn't make as much sense as I thought I did :lol:

Good evening me Psilly Peeps!

Woot, me Steelers won the SB :)

All this Male Merging talk is so very phunny :lol:

Soozle has a new chest :lol:

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikki has snaugh!!!!! Pretty pretty shiny sparkly snow!!!

I should call to see how many nanoseconds until THEIR Flash Read-Enable Latch falling edge shows!! :lightbulboverheadface:

------------------\____/------

Say what?!?! Watch your maths mister!

Well, yeah....that too. And extreme fatigue. My chiropractor keeps it manageable most of the time. That and good vitamins and a high protein diet have allowed me to cope without my meds.

Diet has helped enormously with my fibro as well

I have made a snowman wiv Al, but (you must understand 'we' don't get much practice).....it is CR@P!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

This cracked me up :lol: Surely it's the thought that counts!

John and I are "trying" we wanted to wait till we got to the house and no longer at the apartment before we embarked on that journey.

:D:D:D

Well......A "merge" by definition is a bringing together of like things......A company merger is the combination of 2 or more companies into one, a municipal merge is the amalgamation of two or more cities into a big metropolis.... therefore, male merging would involve two males. ........

:rolleyes:

Well natch :lol:

Baby update . . . I have heard that my friend's baby boy is responding well to the synthetic surfactant (to help lung development). If all continues to go well, he should be able to go home in about a week. My friend was finally allowed to hold him. :wub: Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes.

Very good news :)

Soozie is collecting butts!

This sentence cracked me up too, so very easily amused (or immature, not sure which?!?!)

Amanda--I've meant to comment on this all day.....how great that you are "trying" :D

Julie said "sparkly" <eyesglazeover> Love that word :D

Nik--we saw yer snaugh tonight on the news :)

Big news: Our house sold today--after 5 days on the market :o:o:o We had 4 showings, and as of this afternoon, 4 offers. We've switched into high gear--they want to close March 17. Oye. :huh: I was sure this was gonna take at least a couple months, if not more. Our tentative plans were based on that timetable, so now we have to find a place to live. Matt is still deciding what he's going to do--stay or go with us.

I'm actually getting excited, but then I get teary all the time when I think of moving so far away from my boys. All these emotions are incredibly exhausting :( I can't thank you all enough for being there when I need a "sanity break"--seriously I don't know what I'd do wifout me sillies :D

Patti, great news about the house. These days it is very much a buyer's market, so to have multiple offers is amazing.

I used to have butts, of the sort to which Suzie spoke, but I quit producing those in April of 1990. Hmmm, must sit down and ponder this. Perhaps approaching the problem from the other end will provide an answer. ;)

Amanda, I seem to recall what might have been a similar topic when I made my first psilly post back on page 327. B)

Ahhhh yes I thought mine didn't count as fibro w/out the resting pain.

Maybe I need a chiro o' me own tho. :unsure:

UM...no........upon applying inserting the carrot (for a nose) the head split in two, then fell off

Quite a migraine from one lousy carrot.

<i swear it felt like me 'ead 'twere splittin' in 'ALF!!>

I made this wonderful scrub! Pour some table sugar into a jar, and add a little olive oil and stir. If you want it thinner, add more oil.

I wanted it to smell nice, too, so I added a few drops of almond extract, and some dried lemon peel.

It's a pleasure to wash my face with. I can't wait until it runs out so I can try other flavors. I'm thinking next - poultry seasoning.

Mornin' peeps!

Patttttteigh!! Congratulations!! :):o Such a quick sale, a bidding war, even, in this economic climate - - amazing. Now the phun really begins. Yes, PLEASE include us in your journey to find your new home! Listings with virtual tours, please!

Nikerler! Your neck of the woods is all the talk over here.. . . . .in the World section of our paper there is a screaming headline, "LONDON SQUALLING!" :o

... .and you are to receive another 30 cm?? Now this is noteworthy.....a 40 cm dumping is news even for US. :lol: We wanna see a Calvin psaough army in yer front yard. . . . . ....

Have had no time lately to make gatherings of li'l snow people. . ... :angry: Must try to do this in the next few days. I would like to make a Mr. Chow effigy, perhaps in the Child's Pose . . .. ....

Okay, peeps, need yer help on a wonderful decision I must make: the City of Ottawa is running a city greening program, and is offering each household a free tree. We choose the tree, and it will be delivered in May to our homes, all bundled up and ready to plant. We can choose either a big or small tree, and I think I'll have to go for a small one.....just don't have enough room for another sugar or red maple.

So, should I get a crabapple, a serviceberry or a Japanese lilac? I think I love them all.. . . . ...... :rolleyes:

Great news Patti! What a sigh of relief. Now you won't have to worry about the snow anymore....or cold! LOL! Sometimes I have conferences in TX so if I am close maybe we can grab lunch or starbucks or something :):):)

Oh Taaawwwwmmm! Thank you thank you thank you for the Calvin phunnies. I used to have a book of C&H, it was my sons favorite book for many years. I think he may have it still, dunno. Comics these days seem to lack phun, imagination and intelligence.

Pahdti! Great news on the fast sale. That's pretty amazing. Obviously (to me, anyway) someone is watching out for you. I have no doubts that things will work out wonderfully and smoothly :)

Niknik.....yer in ALL the papers and TV! Well, maybe not you personally :lol: . What's it like to have everything shut down like that? Hopefully it will be short run and not cause any major problems!

Mandas phinally getting DSL. We had a real run-in with verizon. when we moved we were supposed to carry our email addresses with us to the new phone number....but some "wizard" cancelled our accounts all together and we had to set the whole thing up all over again. Took quite a while to straighten that out....we had withdrawal pains from lack of email..web access :lol:<_<

Hope it phinally works out!

Em! FREE TREES! A crabapple may get large depending on variety. I don't know how small a space you have. A lilac can be trimmed to size if need be (just be careful to trim immediately after flowering because it needs to set the next years buds).

What?! Rubbing herbs, and spices and sausages all over oneself.......never heard of such a thing :lol:

My vote is for the lilac, they are my favorite and so beautiful and enjoyable epecially when in bloom :D

Of course I'm taking me sillies on me new adventure :rolleyes:

We've decided to rent for 6 months to give ourselves time to find not only the right house, but the right area since I've never been there and Mark has so far only spent 24 hours there. ;)

Yep Em...... I know what a crabapple looks like.....very pretty, especially in the spring. The other two, I can't picture.

Sometimes I have conferences in TX so if I am close maybe we can grab lunch or starbucks or something :):):)

Those are all very pretty--I do think if you choose the crabapple you'll be pleased. The one we had in Syracuse was beautiful, a nice shape and gorgeous flowers. :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
