I wonder what the speed limit is on that roadway? Long and winding, or direct? Any detours?

I once dated a guy from Toronto; does that count?

NZ is on my list as well . . . shall we go at the same time?? . . . keep each other company on the flight?? . . . who else is in??

Moi!!!!! :rolleyes:

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

Quite right, both of you. I has been thru Fresno (but did not stop) but don't remember if 99 goes thru Clovis. If it does, I definitely did not stop. Was on my way to Springville and got lost in the orange groves trying to avoid going thru Porterville. I kept easting and southing, and phinally phound my way. If I hadda known that Soozle was in Clovis I would even have detoured, provided she had some mojitos waiting when I got there :D :D :D

Good Morning, psills!

And also Ptaoughmghmnuss's appointment. Hope he stops in soon to report on that.

Ummmmm..............no :ph34r:

But it's coming together. And next week I don't work, so not really feeling any pressure as yet.

We're just now thinking about the old, new, borrowed, blue thing. Besides a garter.........what would be some good blue ideas?

Had the bridal shower last Sat.........Hawaiian theme.....lei's and everything. Me 80-sumfin yr old MIL wore a flower bra :huh::P ........over her shirt :D

We figure we'll be around Acadia National Park somewhere . . . I'm having a hard time navigating my atlas. There's a bazillion towns along the coast . . . all with populations under 1000 and everyone of them gets a dot. :blink: . . . I bought reading glasses . . . :ph34r:

great idea!

We did go to Acadia and it was WONDERFUL but I wasn't gluten-free at the time.

sorry. try to get to pass through Wells Maine.

"Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

We had some trauma on the trip and.....Weezee got kicked out of Sophie's mom's/uncles'condo :blink: there was screaming on the phone (from her mom) and a really psychotic attack - was very, very sad and traumatic (her mom is CRAZY)

WHAAAAaatttt?!?!?!? :o

Glad yer enjoyed it in the end :)

- OH!!! they took away all me many channels - no more HBO movies

OH now ---come ON!!!

<_<:lol:

T'would make a great scene in a movie methinks? :lol:

Got now't.... 'cept some random thoughts....

:lol:

DaY 1 of 7 week school holiday

<make them go away!>

..have to take DC to get his fixed brace Wed, then the day after he has an interview at a college (for a part time course in Catering)

SO, I'm thinking

1) He won't be able to talk coherently at his interview due to the brace

2) I should really consider getting him RE-tested for celiac disease before he embarks on a career in the food industry

:blink:

GADS - BRIDAL SHOWER?!?!

WIH??...do we have them in Blighty??

SO much organising for our Leesah!

GIan-knit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gad, I really do wish that I HAD made this up... . . ......quite phunne here, but I was not within a very......appreciative? like-humoured? laid back?? NORMAL???.....audience at the time. Trans-Canada, Trans-Vaginal - - same inflection, same number of syllables, same intonation... . . ....an easy, almost expected slip, wouldn't everyone say? :huh:<_<:rolleyes:

1) He won't be able to talk coherently at his interview due to the brace

Bah! Those college interviewers have to be completely accustomed to this, Nik.... .....methinks ALL teenagers talk sparingly, and in muffled, monosyllabic grunts -- should be nuthin' new..... . . ..

I heard me name being called and found me psilly at the same time- it's SERENDIPITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Methinks that life would be much more fun if we were all hammered :lol: (especially baby showers- all that OOH AHH.......blech!)

I missed my silly and MY PSILLIES!

Leesargh's got her psilly back- yes. Em, what WAS your MIL doing whilst you were away :huh: ? On the TVH? (trans-va jay jay highway) Or......having too much phun by herself :lol: She found what you had hidden in yer bedside table and tried to insert it in the mattress?

Gianknit- Cannot believe you had a convict story! :ph34r: Glad you are safe. YES! Gianknit's coming to Maine...so many ideas for you! It's so beautiful.......how long will you have. I'll email you but there are so many great places- must see Acadia National Park (Bar harbor is a wonderphul town too). You could easily spend a week there and still have more left to do (hiking, biking, swimming, going out on a boat or whale watch). Or you could do a coastal trip and hot Bar Harbor, the Camden area and Boothbay.

There is a gluten-free bakery in Wells- the woman who runs it made my wedding cake before I was gluten-free! Her name is Traci Anello but the Maine coast is big so you'd want to be mid-Maine which would be like Portland, LL Bean, Ogunquit. Shoot me an email and I can blather on.

:lol::lol: Well, c'mon, it's not like we're talkin' about an Masters in English er sumphin'. .. . . . ...

This is excellent, Jyess! You smarty-sciency-numbers-yuckystuff-pants, you! ;):D

Jess- Get that MS.....(says the nutbag with the 3/4 complete PhD). I love being in school! Biostats? WOW! Three semesters of Education stats SERIOUSLY almost killed me!

You IS our resident smarty-pants anyway!

Pieter- Caramel is so cute and cozy looking!!!!!!!!!!!! The trash strike= POOPY COW!!!!!!!!!!!

Suze- Sorry about the crazy yelling and Weezee but glad everything turned out well :D

New Zealand is on my top ten list too Shroomie!

All right, I must recount to you all what transpired a couple of nights ago, the evening before MIL flew home. We were at the B and SIL's place for dinner, with in-laws literally everywhere.....

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

I wonder what the speed limit is on that roadway? Long and winding, or direct? Any detours?

I would hope it is well-groomed and maintained.

and sparkly- Em this is SO unbelievably phunny.......I would have peed my pants. :lol: :lol:

OK- those of you who watch Brit TV may remember Peep Show. The guys that did that have a new show that is phunny as HECK. They did two really phunny skits (one on wheat intolerance) but you need some context so here's the:

I was waiting for you to volunteer to go through it with me. Sort of long-distance barmy buddies, weighting our data points together.

      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.

      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.
