I agree wif you GJiannet!! We use maffs all of the time :o

I think what made the lightbulbs go on for me with Algebra was realizing that the NAME is just a SYMBOL. If we have some sticks....(geez, I use these a lot, too, don't I?)...llll....It does not matter if we call them four, or X or monkey poop....the quantity is still the same.

Probably having worked for a decade or more before I went to college helped too. Used LOTS of maffs!

Zello! Nice to meets you! Spelling and sense are optional, as you've been told, and I'm sure can see for yersllph! Hop on in! The Ho'tub is phine, and I'm sure sumbuddy can phind you a crutchtip! ;):lol:

Here . . . I'll put it into terms that you can relate to:

Say you desire a $6000 breast augmentation procedure. You can put away $25/month towards the procedure. How many months until you can't get yerselph some new boobs???

How bout this one for ya, Jess?

There are 50.7 ounces (1.5L) in a bottle of red wine (cause I know you buy the big bottles). You need 16 ounces of wine to make your famous tapioca/red wine pudding. How many batches of tapioca red wine pudding can you make before you need to go back to the liquor store?

See . . . you guys use it every day and just don't realize it.

Actually far more complex for me. Need to factor in number of glasses consumed in order to think tapioca red wine pudding is a good thing. This, I think, will vary, depending on level of sugar craving, and amount of chocolate available.

Good morning! Just made it in time to be able to say that.

Sunny and cold here in Toronto today.

Now this your Oracle wants to know:

Why does plow not rhyme with snow?

Yep, I was gonna say exactly this. . . . ....it is NEVAH that simple.. ..there are always variables. I always seem to need a helluva lot more wine on hand than is called for in a recipe.....curious. :rolleyes:

Now this your Oracle wants to know:

:lol: Gah, these crazy little idiosyncracies of English pronunciation drive me insane.

I get SO tired of apologizing to students for the English language. . . ..

A little late w/ this but, with apologies to anyone packing a compass needle, I'm compelled to try to straighten this out. Can't have me sillies going through the rest of their silly lives w/ such a misconception.

Now, I may need some clarification and/or education on this, but when caught up in a pair of pants/shorts, isn't penile configuration/delineation always north? NW or NE, or perhaps Due North, but always northerly?

. .. . .. <_< no

Yep.......my DH is a runner, as well, and he has told me (when I called him at work this aft with my query) that it is ALWAYS northerly, whether wearing spandex, flannel dress pants or Levi's... . .....

. . ...

So, I appear to have me answer.

But is it unanimous?

Omg NO

Maybe a higher % when in spa. . .. spa ... (I think we prefer the term "compression shorts" to spandex) sport/compression shorts, & bike racing may be a special case where a sling provides competitive advantage . .. ..but, in general, .. .omg NO!

Apparently, boxers are 'south' (duh) and anything that 'gathers and binds' winds up 'north'. Makes sense......

:huh: .. . .maybe appears to make sense .. .. .which way are those sculptured pouches P

We've been waiting fer your weigh-in on this, Ptaoughmghmnus! (hope you are feeling okay).......

Those of us without the device can only construct scenarios based on assumption, and how they normally look when we see them :ph34r::ph34r:

Yep, 'tis true.. . :lol: . ..But I remain bumfoozled by what DH has ascertained regarding this entire North-South discussion, as it seems to contradict what Ptaoughmn is "OMG - - NO!-ing". . . ..DH claims that when positioned in anything fitted, ie., pants, jeans, shorts, etc., things remain northerly, always. In fact, the mere suggestion of it ever being due south in a pair of Levi's just made him stop and stare at me. "No way. Doesn't happen". . . ...

:rolleyes::lol:

I can see I'll have to bring this up with him again. . ...more head-shaking silence, and a quick moving away, mefinks. . . . ....

I could ask the male diplomats that I teach tomorrow.....a kind of impromptu poll, so to speak, making sure to organize it as a justified vocabulary exercise. .. . ...

This is my bad habit . . . <---my little set of three periods . . . I use to "pause" and then continue . . . :lol:

By the way Zella, you tell everyone in your sig that you have a warning?? . . . Nobody can see that you have a warning except for you and the moderators so no need to apologiz in yer sig. Howeveh, if you're proud of yer warning that's a different story. You should announce it and then add something like (with attitude) . . . "Yeah, I'm bad. So What!!! <then this next part wif a Dirty Harry accent> Go Ahead, Make My Day!!"

Oooooops . . . and forgot to say . . . Welcome to Sillville, where spelling is opshunal.

LOL!!!! I swear!! Don't I just keep digging myself in quite the spacious and roomy hole ;) I did receive a message from one of the mods about my Oops moment.. all I have to say is, by now I should know PM means I did something wrong - again.. I feel like I should wear a leather jacket, slap on some black leggings and call myself a Pink Lady.

I think the three dots rock! < --- I almost typed pink dots.. those rock too, but not what I meant to type.. or say... yesh, I just woke up.

I'm gonna go back in my corner now, wear my dunce cap and reflect my actions :P

Let's assign variables, shall we . . .

X = the current amount of pressure in PatTee's 'ead

Y = the pressure at which PatTee's 'ead explodes

Z = the rate at which pressure increases when mathS is discussed

How long till PatTee loses her 'head?

See . . . algebra is used EVERYWHERE!!!

Welll..... I know when I started it was about 2 AM... when I realized there was a double arrow to move me along.. it was 3 AM... after I read a few pages of the "new" stuff and finally responded, it was 5 AM :D

Yesh, I am that strange!

Oooo-weeee, looks like I need to scrounge me up a pink lady outfit :) I used to have one... when I was 5... wonder if that still fits??? ;)

You sillies are so fabulous.. or shall I say psillies.. Is a psillie from Philly, or did they just drink too much of the happy juice? By the by, happy juice can consist of anything that makes a person happy! Or sillie/psillie.. shillie..

Did someone say breast augmentation? My cousin had one of them.. About two years later she was diagnosed with Familial Polyposis and lost a bunch of weight.. Wellllll, my Mom, the tactful bird that she is, asked my cousin: "So, did your boobies lose weight too? Or are they still up and doing their thing??" After all the laughter and cantaloupe jokes subsided, we did find out that they fared very well and hadn't lost a pound. Moral of the story - there isn't one. Just that if your weight fluctuates, your tiggo-bities should stay the same size post augmentation. <-- Uh oh, I hope that wasn't too crude of a story... I'll be waiting in my inbox for a PM.. :P

Nice meetin' ya'll.. I wonder why I have a Southern drawl, when I was born in California? Hmmm...

The gravitational reference makes me wonder just how snug y'all think non-boxers ARE!??

The bolded NO was in response to the purported unanimity of the North Pole, Mrs. Claus. :lol: (Maybe Em has the gall to Gallup to the mall for a North Poll?) :wacko:

It's possible I'm mistaken, but I believe a high majority can provide a literal answer to the query "how's it hangin' d00d?"

      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.
