SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wacko:

had one hour of shut-eye and am still feeling the wackl, and completely delirious

:lol:

I see the mirth has been carried on valiantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, SO much like the action goin' on at the retirement home.... .. I actually think there is a Lucy Baines living there, who drools and has climbed on top of departing cars.. . . . .....

:lol: the poor old gal.....I think our Lucy cat lived until she was 17 or so - fully bonkers and skinny and quite tattered in the end - a veritable Grisabella from T.S. Eliot :wub:

Dear gawd.....you are all a rather simian bunch, aren't ya??

Yes, and hirsute, too :lol:

would like to have my whole body lasered <_<

WHAAAAT????

and

WHY?????

...and why Brandy?

Brandy in me hot milk, you Silly Bundt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: helps me to sleep.

One can ne'er have too many words for the male anatomy.

It's funny to me to read all of those words in that dictionary, it feels like I'm in the 'way-back' machine. Suddenly I'm 5 years old, listening to my granny tell me to 'make pischy' in the bathroom at Kresge.

Good times...good times

My mum's phamilee were some pretty intense people. Long suffering, to be sure. So much guilt, so little time.

Hmmm...that's what my husband says, every time I take off me clothes

Sadly, I was forced to surrender my IBTC member card at age 17 1/2, whenst the TT fairy paid me a surprise visit and me blossoms near exploded out me wardrobe. She brought along her friend, the chin hair fairy

As if I could Suze, dear, your mirth tis quite ribald wifout me :wub:

In my world, the shaving ritual is known as "Trimming the Bush"

I'm all like :lol: :lol: x 100 from Mimmsy's post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She got EXPLODING BLOSSOMS?????????????????? :angry: I'm still waitin.

I had a vestigal visit from her, as well....... . . ...she does toes, too, part-time. . . . ...

*snooooooort* Yup, got the hair on the big toe, also. Um, I SHAVE MY ARMS. That's right. I have as much arm hair as a man........started bleaching it in around 6th grade (Jolen Cream Bleach, eh girls?) and then..........over a decade ago, just started shaving them daily.

:o

isn't that CRAZY??????????

bloody heinous is what it is. <_<

Then we can all larf at his widdle-pee-nee (johnson, jack hammer, shwans, meat, loaf, trouser trout, pearl diver, little man, jock, manhood)

Hope Suze is gettin' some shut eye

"Aw man, why'd you let her nap so late? Now she'll never get to sleep tonight! I guess I'll just have to put some brandy in 'er milk again."

love the weenis names, esp. TROUSER TROUT and another fave, ONE-EYED SNAKE :lol:

Mimms, yer daughter has a cold? awwwwwwww.........well, you get to stay home this weekend then! Hope she feels better.

got one hour of shut-eye, it did help a bit. Now must head out on errands. Foraging for brandy food and supplies, and a lock for my back gate. Did I tell you guys the incident last weekend with teh gardener??????????? :unsure: I am really in a very awkward situation here, pholks, adn do nae know what to do, so temporary solution is to lock him out of my back yard. :huh:

Crikey, is THAT the man for me? Is that who God has for me? My five-foot-two, non-English speaking gardener?????????????????? I was too nice to him, and he has fallen in love. Remember, the flowers in the soda can, and the strawberries? His love offerings? and telling me that he wants to be my novio?

Last week he started crying when I TRIED to tell him (in my very primitive Spanish) that he can't come into my back yard unless I invite him.

THAT is what I get. <_<

:blink:

Will any NORMAL man ever like me? Ever?

HARRUMPHHHFFFFFFFFFFF

Poor Weez, no walk from her slovenly white trash mommy today......we are just going to lay around until mommy's head stops spinning from fatigue. *snort*

WHERE IS GIA-KNIT??????????????????????? Is she sorting her tatt??????

Oh, wish we could help.........can you imagine, all the sillies commandeering her yard sale????? Absinthian toasts and full ribaldry :snort:

and maybe we can find that court jester with the soiled velvet robe and battered sepulchre to join us.............where is he????????

:lol: :lol:

Padt - what IS goign on down there in Texas???????????????????

Amanda - some kind of evil rash????? Stay inside, by all means.

Sills,

Have I mentioned to ya'll about the dairy-o-rama I have going on over here? B):lol:

It all started wif the greek yogurt (yum) and then the splash of milk in me tea. Well, yesterday I had.......get ready fer it......vanilla ice cream!!!!! :o:D :D Regular ole' store bought ice cream (gluten status checked ;) )

Today, I graduated to half and half in me tea--and I've had no reactions yet! :D

So here's the thing--I went dairy free even before I knew about Celiac. I thought it would help wif me stomach probs. Anyway, the doc that did me phirst endo like 4 years ago told me to "begin the gluten-free and lactose free diet", and the crackpot, er Kinesiologist I saw also said I was "allergic" <_< ....so I phigured I should just stay away from it.

But, I keep having this nagging feeling that when you think about it, I had no real basis to be dairy free, and believe it or not, I've never tested it out-- and since I really missed it after like 5 years, I decided to give it a try. Sorry fer the long, boring story...... :ph34r:

Next up, cheese!!! :D I pheel so empowered!!!

If I suddenly disappear, you can assume the other shoe has dropped and the whole thing backfired! :lol:

Dad is having major surgery through his back :blink: to get at a big cluster of kidney stones that they cannot access laproscopically.

OMG.......wheeled him into the pre-op waiting area this am, and many other seniors were sitting there, waiting also. One lady suddenly says, "Gasp!. . .......Les! I saw you and your wife on the news yesterday!" and the man beside her said, "YES! Happy anniversary to you both!" and the lady beside my mom piped in, "Sixty years!" And on it went, all these nurses suddenly crowding in, saying they had seen them both. . . .... :lol: Unbelievable that so many arbitrary people watch these local newscasts....... .

So, I left to go park, my dad telling everyone how the 60th wedding anniversary is traditionally Diamond. I hear him say, "So, I thought, jeez, I should get her the gift of a lifetime. So I bought her thirteen diamonds. I bought her a deck of cards".......

this is truly amazing.

hope the surgery is over and he is doing great

what a sense of humor his has.

hi buddies

been on the porch again today.

pretty day out just wish the 'quivers' would stop.

too much else to comment on.....sorry buds

Thought this said 'Brandy me in hot milk'.

Dunno how you'd do that, but it sounds like something I'd like to try.

Alrighty. If any of youse was thinking that putting up insulation would be a fun project, let me disabuse of that idea right now. I am exhausted....itchy...my fingertips hurt...and I still need to put up more.

On the upside, I've probably put enough staples into that room to block spy satellites, so my sunroom options have opened up. :ph34r::):P

      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
    • Scott Adams
      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.  
    • Wheatwacked
      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.
