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 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).

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. ;)

links! pics!!

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 :):):)

      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.

Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative vs. positive for the test? I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.
