I grabbed my toothbrush and started brushing away. All of a sudden, my mouth was foaming up and it tasted like I was eating soap :o I rinsed my mouth a million times (it still tastes like soap 3 hours later).

In the car I said,

"Max, did you put soap on my toothbrush?"

Pause

"Uh, soap?? Uh no, no soap..."

Me

"What did you put on my toothbrush? I really need to know what was in my mouth"

pause

"Uhhhhhhh"

Me

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble..."

pause

"You know that stuff I got all over the counter last night..."

Mmmmmm, brushed my teeth with shaving cream this morning <_<

Yummy. Max is washing your mouth out with soap. Did you use any bad words?

Rah-shell--ew-w-w-w-w!!!!!!!!!!! <pukephace>

Well, me son had his surgery this morning, and although it took longer than anticipated he's back home and he did fine. <ultra-relievedphace>

:)

I'm sure you will take good care of him. While he's immobile, smother him.

Wait! That didn't come out right! I meant "smother him with love & attention" not a pillow.

Well, I have kept forgetting to tell youse guys that Michelle (SIL waaaaaaaaayyyy up in Tagish, Yukon), for the first time in seven years, is NOT running the Yukon Quest this year. She decided to do The Iditarod, which starts in Willow, Alaska, and ends in Nome. 1,850 km by dogsled - - she hopes to break twelve days, I believe.

Just madness. :blink::lol:

It started Sunday afternoon, and so far she is 38th out of 72 mushers. Think she's holdin' back the first few days, and will turn on the jets later. . . . ... . ........GO, MICHELLE!

I see your "60 to snow flurries" & raise you - 70 degrees to a Blizzard, in 2 hours, that was so bad that they strung up ropes between college buildings so we didn't get lost in the snow. :P

Good morning, Psillies. See, I beat Nik and Em to the punch, though it's still late evening here. What am I doing up? :unsure: Well just retiring. I have been researching property titles and I am befuzzled and confoozled and wired :blink: Doing this for Miss Mary who was admitted to convalescent care for rehydration and leg ulcers today and who is phinally admitting she needs help :):)

Anyways, thought I would start your day off with a laff:

Four dudes who had been high school chums decided to mark turning 40 by going out for a meal. After much discussion, they decided to go to Mario's because the waitresses wore low-cut blouses and had nice breasts.

At 50, they discussed another celebration, and decided to go to Mario's because the food was good, also the wine selection.

A decade later, at 60, they again discussed the matter and again decided on Mario's, as they had a gluten-free menu.

At 70, there was again discussion on where to go, and they decided on Mario's, this time because of the pleasant surroundings, where they could eat in peace.

At 80, they had much discussion on the venue, and decided on Mario's as it had wheelchair access and an elevator.

Another decade passed, and their number was reduced to three, they were turning 90, and they reckoned they should celebrate that there were still three of them around. They discussed and discussed the matter, and eventually decided to go to Mario's, as they hadn't been there before. :lol:

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

curlyfries Contributor

Here's a question to ponder:

Last nite, Hub scrubbed the grill since we haven't used it since I've been gluten-free. He said no Gluten could still be on there. He wondered what a Gluten would look like. I thought round lite blue with little spikes all round & a smile on its wee face. He thought it would look like Java the Hut from Star Wars. What do you think a Gluten looks like?

I got nuttin, but I'm surprised nobody else had a good answer. :huh:

They discussed and discussed the matter, and eventually decided to go to Mario's, as they hadn't been there before. :lol:

:D:D:D

forgot about the question!

I think gluten looks like a semi-solid wisp of dark smoke that can suddenly have long sharp curved claws.

Am going on a journey tomorrow to the mountains of Lake Tahoe. Whilst atop the mountain, shall seek psilly enlightenment (then, hopefully, not fall off the ski slope on the way down). Will either loose a few pounds as I can't eat at the ski resorts or will gain a bunch as I can eat Snickers, M&Ms, etc. :P

Oh fun, fun, fun! I miss Tahoe. My favorite was Alpine Meadows but it's all so beautiful.

Just pooping in to say UGH! Well, really to say hi. I called my doc Monday and the nurse said this current version of stomach flu is turning even WOMEN into whimpering man phlugue victims. My tummy has settled finally but after 5 days of not eating, I am pretty exhausted. Yet, can't sleep.

OK- enough whining like a man phlugue man. Please send buffalo furry tiger pig blanket, Mr Knightley and Mr Darcy (one for each side) and Apolo Ohno to wait on me.

Am bored (ironically, I make the WORST sick person- I get so bored).Contemplating a makeover. Hair getting very long and new hairs are coming in grey (*GASP*) but curly which I like. Currently taking suggestions. Feeling frumpy in me forties- want new clothes, shoes and hairdo. Advice por favor?

Happy to see you drag your poor disease ridden body out of your sick bed. Contemplating a make-over means you must be feeling better.

Will tell "the Meadows" you said hello.

I'm so bored I went back and read what I didn't read via gmail these last few days!

OMG if you've never seena 70 year old ladt using avibrator on her nose you haven't seen funny!!!

OK- I confess I read this before but had to go back and read it again because Jess :lol: :lol: If I come yer way this summer, will you make me those margaritas? We're aiming for Seattle and then a week on the Olympic Peninsula car camping cause we wanna see yer Hoh :lol::P

Limonceloo? I want this!! Whatever in hell it is!

And I do NOT think that I want a herminalture vibrature.. .. . .. .....do I even wanna see what one looks like?... . ....:unsure:.. .. . ....

Limoncello is SO good. It's alcohol (methinks grain) that has been infused by lemons and sugar. I have some in my freezer right now! I had one glass the night we decorated the Christmas tree and that was plenty. SO tasty.

My son's team made it to the First Robotics finals & got 2nd place! (57 teams) :P I was so proud as he has done most of the designing & building of the mechanicals for the last 3 years.

Karrenn- That's so great! Congratulations to him!

What do you think a Gluten looks like?

I always pictured it as BRIGHT BRIGHT green with evil eyes, no mouth.

Believe it or not psills, but THE one year anniversary is almost here.

That is a LOT of difficult memories. I remember Susan telling us about Brian and I couldn't even fathom it. At all. The good news is- one year later, Nathan's OK and Brian is even funnier. Glad the dancing is cheering you :D :D Can you tango? I've always wanted to learn- so sexy and dramatic!

I have finally reached a point in my dancing where I can keep up with the better dancers ( we're talking about guys here), and sometimes it's like being caught in a whirlwind! They've figured out that I'm easy to spin! And.....the better dancers like to dip :P

Dancing with the Stars? Methinks our Leesargh is a candidate!

Yes, I am fluent in 'drunk Jess' :P

Me too- it's all these posts of fauxnetick spelling :lol:

Well, me son had his surgery this morning, and although it took longer than anticipated he's back home and he did fine. <ultra-relievedphace>

So glad to hear this Patti- must be hard to be away from your sons when they have stuff going on like this. When will he arrive in TexASS? You'll be happy to smother him!

      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.

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.
