OK. It's Sat morn and I'm not awake yet. The only glasses I can find slide off my face when I look down. I am computer (almost) illiterate. And you want me to go to page 1512. How do you do that? One page at a time? Does this silver man have anything to do with a garage in Washington left perhaps by a man in a trenchcoat who refers to himself lovingly as Deep Throat? If not, Please instruct. I had a grin on my face yesterday - could that be the beginning of an attack of funny?

It certainly could--we tend to have that effect on people :D

To get to a certain page, look to the bottom left of your screen and you'll see a box that says "2267 pages" (the page we're currently on). Click on the dropdown in the box and you can just type in the page you want. :)

And you want me to go to page 1512. How do you do that?

At the top (or bottom) of the page on the right, the current page count is shown. To the right of it is a triangle pointing down. Click the triangle, and a window will open where you can type in the page number to which you wish to go.

Well, I learned something new. After reading about him for 4 pages, I feel like I know him. And I already miss him terribly. Where can I get my own Sam Hill Manhead? My Dh doesn't have a parking garage where he works (the barbarian) and, besides, what are the chances of that happening twice? Seriously, I need someone to walk with. I could put him in a little wagon - he could protect me from the wild dogs that roam the area. And all the young girls in the nieghborhood would secretly think of me as a cougar (which I am). And the money I would save if I saw a shrink! I could just talk to him! Is he silli? Is it too soon to be thinking about the "L" word?

I woke up Mark :P who tried to swat it with a rolled up newspaper, but only succeeded in knocking it to the floor--where it ran under the bed. Then it just disappeared :huh:

Dear gawd........ .. . . ..this would NOT be good fer me, either.... . . ...and imagine Soooozle? Methinks she would be awake ALL night. .. .. .. :lol:

Our Ranger is digging up some silly, yet Jyesss seems down a quart.

Eat, and things will be all better. This, unfortunately, seems true for EVERY situation. <_<

We go and get J3 tomorrow morning.....haven't seen him in two weeks. Bet he's taller (even standing legitimately)..... . . He is growing SO quickly right now...

J3 = my son Jack, called such as he is the third-tallest in the group of J-named boys in his camp cabin.....but the glitch was, the way he was standing while being measured was, well, . . . . .....actually, you can find my account about seven or eight pages back, now that you know how to search, and of course you have nothing better to do than read my past ramblings. ..... ...... :rolleyes::lol:

Ranger Soooozun! Yes, I hear you on the immediate connection, the magic one feels upon first encountering SHM. Jus' somethin' about him. . ........and you're right, the chances of it happening twice - - something of this calibre, slim to none.

I think we need every Psilly to put up their avatars in which he has appeared, so that you can really get a sense of exactly how much he has infiltrated our lives. My pic is stored in my other computer, so I will get onto it next post and put it up.

Since my kitchen is in disarray, my dryer is also not hooked up so I've been line drying. I switched out my sheets and made a discovery - flannel is not meant to be baked dry on a clothes line. It was like sleeping between sheets of sandpaper.

On the up side, I figure this whole body exfoliation woulda cost me a fortune at a spa. :mellow:

Gah! Well, we must recruit Jyaghnutt, the creator of most of these amazing pictoral accounts of Sam's whereabouts. Hopefully she kept copies of the ones she made.....

JAHNUTTTT!

I did read about that. Maybe next time they measure, you could put Sam Hill Manhead on his head and maybe they won't notice a kid with a head on his head and measure him taller. I think I' getting fixated. Seiously, it's rough being 13.

Does he take the heighth thing seriously, or does it not bother him?

HEY! We never thought of that as a practical use for SHM! For those guys who are short and want to appear considerably taller........he could be an extender! Put him on yer head, wrap yer shirt around yer real head and neck........VOILA.

The bonus: He has a much better-looking face than many short blokes I know.. . .. ..

Okay, Soooozun and Shroomie! Head back to page 1512 - - mid-November 2008 - - the sudden introduction of Sam Hill Manhead into our lives. . . .......

:lol:

Reading it again, I remain fascinated in where he came from..... . . ....why he was there, right when DH was unlocking his car.... . . . ....what does it meeeeeeean?

..

The appearance of Sam Hill Manhead is mysterious indeed, and never has so much care been put into selecting an appropriate name :lol: Do ya think some woman who didn't appreciate what she had knocked 'im off 'is pedestal?? :lol: Her loss, our gain! Thanks for digging that out, Em. It plugged some other gaps too!

Last night just as I was going to sleep, I turned and saw the biggest black bug on the wall, up near the ceiling :o I woke up Mark :P who tried to swat it with a rolled up newspaper, but only succeeded in knocking it to the floor--where it ran under the bed. Then it just disappeared :huh:

Oh man, I can so relate to that one. As a certified arachnophobic, as a teenager I snuck in after curfew to find this humongous spider on the wall above my bed. Plucked up my courage and took a thwack at it and lost it!! It fell between my bed and the wall (onto very dark stained wood) and vanished. I could nae ask for any assistance, so after searching all the bedclothes I quietly slid the bed out into the middle of the room, lifted all bedclothes clear of the floor, and laid awake in terror all night. Never did see the bugger again.

UNLIKE the spider I found in my friend's guest bed. Thwacked at that one and lost it too, and just had a feeling that I had nae seen the last of it. Fortunately I had been a little dephobia-ized by then so that when it reappeared I did not die like I might have before. Took a sweater out of a dresser drawer and put it on; little while later I scratched a tickle on my arm, but it did not go away. Premonition hit and I walked (did NOT run, but uncalmly) into the bedroom and pulled the sweater off inside out and THERE HE WAS. I made sure I despatched him that time.

To get to a certain page, look to the bottom left of your screen and you'll see a box that says "2267 pages" (the page we're currently on). Click on the dropdown in the box and you can just type in the page you want. :)

Now I knew that, one of the few things I do know so I had to tell ya. :D

Since my kitchen is in disarray, my dryer is also not hooked up so I've been line drying. I switched out my sheets and made a discovery - flannel is not meant to be baked dry on a clothes line. It was like sleeping between sheets of sandpaper.

I do believe you have just discovered why Nickerler is always ironing :lol: :lol: Ya gotta iron out the sandpaper!

OMG........ . . . :lol: I remember this.... . .... how he was staring lovingly, possessively at you, Patteigh....we all commented on this. . . . .

Ah that chiselled chin, that straight nose, that loving gaze...whatta guy! Pity he does not have the appropriate appendages!! :P

Good lord Em, why did ya give 'im away??

Amanda has a Maine Coon too!!! Aren't they just the greatest, and yes, they do lick you like a dog, make you a member of the Maine Coon tribe. Miss Em does not walk on the keyboard; she lies beside the computer, always likes to be close, but parks right in front of the screen so you can't see a thing (yeah, 15 lbs plus and takes up the whole screen) when she wants something (like dinner :lol: ) She's bossy too; herds us around when she thinks it's time for us to go to bed. Yeah, I'm missing her!

Damn, I had this post all planned out and then Clay insisted he had to use THIS computer for IMPORTANT business (like psillies are unimportant :o ) and everything has gone out of my pea brain. Oh well, there wasn't a lot in there anyway....

Why do we have to get cold when you gets cold, Soozle? It's not going to get above 70 all day today in the glorious Sierra Nevada :( And just when the smoke cleared from the NorCal fires too. Why does California have to blow everything in our direction??

Sorry about your 'puter woes :(

Yeah, isn't Soozun a kick in the pants!! I's going to have to find more psilly.

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.
    • SamAlvi
      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out. 
    • lizzie42
      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior? 
    • trents
      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.
