I got a egg!!!!!

HEY! ...And a splendid-looking one it is, Jyesss!

...Um.... . . from one o' your very own civckebs? No rooster needed, correct? He just comes strutting along after the egg is laid and secretes some spermicidal-type stuff o'ertop of the egg to fertilize it. . ....methinks. :huh: Set us all straight on this, Jyess...I'm a poor, unworldly bit of city folk. . ... .... <_<:rolleyes:

And, can this really replace caviar? It's a long roe to hoe.

Very nice! :D

Hens can lay eggs without the need for a rooster. If you want fertilized eggs, you will need a rooster, but they can get gross. When I had cxyvbirds, I had roosters. They soon went into the cookin pot. They were mean and put blood-streakes into the eggs. Women can lay eggs, also without the need for a mail. But they won't produce offspring. We do need men. I'm going to leave before yer all mad at me!

It will be called " Sickles and Cycles". It will be about a Burundian woman who does bycicle races and has her period 24/7. She will have 7 viable eggs and use them all.

:wacko::lol: Now, Sbogota - - don't give too much away! This would make a great movie. You need to send this in script form to Oprah.

It promises to be better than the new Dan Brown thriller, " How I was a Mason With Only a Pound of Washington Concrete"

Dear gawd.. ... :lol::lol: I missed this one, somehow.

I've just finished The Open Kimono by Seymour Hair...............

I know I'm not supposed to apoligize on this forum thread, but I am. It's because my heads been in that pot for so long. I took a choc cupcake out of my freezer and am going to EAT IT. Then, I'll be better. Sorry I forgot some of you. It's so confusing forn a pee-brain like me. Tomorrow, I will start wring that book. It will be called " Sickles and Cycles". It will be about a Burundian woman who does bycicle races and has her period 24/7. She will have 7 viable eggs and use them all.

GADS, I am trying SOOOOO darned hard to keep up with you, but i thinks i need to take some classes!!!

Today has been interesting to say the least:

Was dreamin of the 1 ripe watermelon in my garden, have been watchin it daily, discovered last night that it was ripe for the pickin, wanted-foolishly-to wait till morning to pik it fresh for work to find that some mofo in the middle of the night STOLE MY MELON!!! :angry::angry: It's not like I have melons comin out my arse, cuz that would probably be painful... I only have-had-5, now I'm down to 4 little ones which probly won't ripen. Flash fwd, boys at work, SOMEONE STOLE HER MELONS-LET"S SEE!!!

Ate a pear for breakfast, made a comment about my "bruised pear" boys at work-"THOUGHT SOMEONE STOLE HER MELONS- LET ME SEE THE BRUISED PAIR!!" :rolleyes:

Ate a peach for a snack in the afternoon, talked to our equipment rep for a minute before realizing I had peach stuck in my front teeth--that was the last straw-boys at work rolling on floor laughing-"SHE'S GOT PEACH IN HER TEETH" Even I had to laugh at that one!

Dirty dirty boys ;):lol::lol:

Had to stop by Fred Meyer to have them remove one of those plastic clothing no stealy thingys that they forgot to remove from a pair of pj's. They wouldn't remove it because I didn't have the receipt, yet they let me walk out of the store with said pj's and didn't arrest me for shoplifting :huh: So I get home and try to pry the thing off with a flathead screwdriver. Now I am missing 1/2 my thumb tip and now my thumb looks menstrual, there is blood EVERYWHERE. You think I can sue Fred Meyer <_<

Maybe I should go to bed before I end up in the hospital...!!!

One more thang. If I hear that "bum bum bumblebee, bumblebee tuna" song one more time I'm going to either use the aforementioned screwdriver to dismantle the stereo or my eardrums.... <_<

elye Community Regular

Good Morning, Psillies!

Rah-shell had her melon stolen! :angry:<_<

Do not know this Bumblebee Tuna song . ... ... ...odd connection, there. Bees and tuna.... :huh: .....an overplayed American commercial, methinks? Could it be a new sandwich spread, poised to take the packaged food industry and global economy by storm -- tuna with honey? GAH.

Those big, plastic no-stealy thingies that are ratcheted onto clothing are a son-of-a-b*tch, I tell you. It has happened to me three times in the last couple of years - -three different stores have left these things on clothing i have purchased and taken home.

The first time I tried to get it off with a screwdriver, ended up ripping the fabric, and furiously took it back. The second and third times I hesitated to try anything, and because the items were from a store in Gatineau (quite a distance across the river) I just couldn't be bothered to take them all the way back.

SOoOOoO, I left them on. One is on a pair of jeans, affixed to the waistband, and actually looks quite cool, like a new thing teens are sporting. The other is on the wristband of a fleece sweatshirt - - also quite cutting-edge fashion-wise.

I simply say nothing.....one must act completely as though this has been done with strong intent in mind. Must behave as though I have left these ridiculous things on because I like their look. They are a nice camel-hair colour, and a lovely, thin rectangular shape for fall and winter. <_<

I certainly hear them in the dryer.

I'm gonna start a trend, you just wait. Look carefully at the Paris runways in the next couple of years - -some small, intriguing accesories will be hanging from those brocaded sleeves, from those high waistbands - - and you will suddenly remember this post.

:rolleyes:

Joooodie, great to read you! :)

It's Christmas!!!! **giggle** My trees are here!!!! . . . 3 Spruces, a Dogwood and a paperbark maple . . . **giggle** . . . They're digging big holes as we speak!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

Great news about yer new trees, Jan-it!!! :D

I once had to bring a top back to have the plastic thingy removed--they did so wifout incident.

What was worse was the time they left a silver patch-like thing in the back pocket of a pair of jeans I bought at Kohl's. I didn't even realize it was there--and I wash everything new before I wear it.

I began to notice that I frequently would set off the alarm at the entrance to stores--first I figured it was a mistake but after a while it was obvious it was me. :o Still took a while to discover the thing--weird!

It had to be it because after I found and got rid of it, no more alarms :rolleyes:

Happy Birthday, T!

Those no-stealy-plastic-thingys have a metal piece that goes thru the fabric. I cut it with a wire cutter. But you have to be careful, because sometimes there's ink in the plastic part that will stain the clothes if you're not careful....or be ready to rinse immediately.

I couldn't leave it on, cuz it clashed with the beaded dress it was attached to. :P ......and no, I didn't steal it :rolleyes:

Psilly! You needed to glue complimenting and/or matching beads to it, making it officially an accessory to your outfit -- like matching earrings, bracelets, etc. Along with yer ears, you've got pierced clothing!

:D Happy B-day mother tresa. It's a BIG one. A LONG time getting to. So, now you can say, you've had a BIG, LONG one.

Speaking of fashion, some would say that I am a fashion maven. I like the idea of wearing the shoplifters device, as silver is a statement. The ink, not so much. I don't as a rule steal clothing, but like the fact that so many of my comrades do it. I do buy only "vintage" clothing. Which translates to Goodwill.

How dare they steel yer melons! If they only could appreciate the cost of plastic sturjury. :ph34r: I could only afford one melon at a time, so for awhile I would have to wear a bra sized 36- AAA- F.........

Which, actually, I say a lot. Specially when John comes towards me. AAA-F.......It's a married for too long thing. There are other letters in between.

Worked in my garden today. Looked up at this huge black walnut tree that has a really angry spider web in it, and realized that: I have to rite another book! "The Stickey Willy Story". Subtitle "The Avenge of Robert Oppenheimer".

As a fahsion maven, I think spider webs would be a b%$@#in look.

I want cyvkebs!

GOooOoOoOod Morning, Psills!

There's a lovely picture on the front page of our newspaper showing our Prime Minister sitting with President Obama, chatting casually yesterday during their meeting in Washington. When fielding questions afterwards from reporters, Obama said, "It is wonderful to be getting caught up with Mr. Harper on all the big issues"... . ....

Then there is a clip of Stephen Harper saying, "I think Barack and I feel the same way about many things". . ....

This made quite stirring news here. Our prime minister called President Obama "Barack"? Like they are college buddies sittin' over a beer?

:rolleyes:

All the problems that are plaguing us right now, economically, socially, spiritually, and this is what our pundits obsess over? <_<

:lol:

flourgirl Apprentice

Thanks everybody for the B'day wishes! Long day yesterday. Worked (pretty good day, though), had to do grocery shopping because I hate to spend days off doing that! Got home late....made pizza for our supper, more phone calls recieved than I get in months at a time.....did some cleaning.....overall a good day. I only pheel one day older than yesterday.....but was pheelin' pretty old yesterday anyway (heh heh).

I hates melon-steelers! Ought to be hung wif a very prickly melon-vine! Maybe you oughta place little plastic anti-steely devices to your melons.....call it nibble-piercing B)

Civkeb Eggs!!!! How exciting! You cause me to continue to mull over the thought of having Civkebs here. I work with a fellow who raises Civkebs and who sells his eggs to co-workers. Of course...availability supply doesn't always cluck with desire demand.

Thought about snapping a shot of my pheet to post.....but think I waited too long. Must think of summat else to put in Av.

There have been Bear sightings in the Park lately. I wouldn't mind seeing them....but I think they are just passing through. I think they have discovered the campground that is nearby....lots of yummies there!

Guess I'll go wander over to The Book! I don't get over there very often...or for very long. Just not enough time in a day...I tell ya!

Hope yer all foine and dandy!

Hey, Nik! I fraternized with Sven early this morning - - I am now seeing him all the time again (thank GAWD........how I missed him), but he still makes my foot ache, slightly, after a while.

He's quite a guy -- he injured me badly, and I keep going back to him..... . ....think i need an intervention. . ..... :rolleyes:

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
