I'm afraid you must gather your things and leave.

The Tribe has spoken. . . ... . ....

:lol:

My dad tells how his mother used to cook rabbits and chickens that she raised in her backyard. Used to butcher them herself--she died when I was 4, but she musta been a tough broad :P

This, um.... . . . . ..reminds me somewhat of MIL. Dunno if I have ever mentioned here how she was able to euthanize her beloved pet cat herself. Yes, she "put Ginger to sleep", by placing the old, arthritic cat in a plastic bag and tying it up. Apparently only took a minute.. . . . . . ... :huh:

:blink:

See, it woulda cost $170.00 to take Ginger in and have it done by the vet.. . ..can you imagine?? $170.00??! Abominable! Won't be paying for THAT... .. . . .....

Apparently I'm the cruel one in our house because one of the mice that I caught on a glue trap was soooooo stuck that we couldn't pry him off and let him go in the park (yeah, that actually worked once), So I filled up an old bucket with water and dropped the thing in-only lasted about 30 seconds. This, I have been chastized for. Husband, however, threw the last one away in the trash--still alive, still stuck to the board, to starve to death--and I'm the cruel one?! :blink:

Some guy came into our ER last night and lit himself on fire-in the waiting room! Luckily staff extinguished himself and they had to transport him out to another hospital with a burn unit, but good Gawd!!! Twas a suicide attempt, but I think that's the dumbest way to try to kill yerselph....More than likely you will survive and you'll be in horrid pain for the rest of yer life!

Everyone but Russell, close your eyes for this post.

The smell takes days to get out of the ER. (barf face)

I knew there was a reason the hospital taught us to put patients on fire out.

Did not see it. Coworker did. My office is right above the ER, I'll make a pass thru right now and come back to report any unusualalities ;)

So, I know when your nose runs it's called 'rhinorrhea'. When your arse runs it's called 'diarrhea'. But what is it when your eyes run? My eyes have been pouring clear liquid from the outter corners all morning and it's driving me CRAZY!!!

Guess what I have now...

I can't help feeling I murdered Bugs Bunny. Am I still allowed here?

I dunno.....our beloved Bunnie might have something to say about it. Would not be surprised if we got one of her infrequent poop-ins about now :unsure:

If he really wanted to kill himself, he picked the wrong place to do it :rolleyes:

Welcome Dixie!!! That's the first time I've ever seen one of us try to talk to the visitors and someone actually answers back! :P

I hope you all don't mind if I pop in from time to time.

Haven't had time to read this thread today. Filling out medical releases for my next test (they're scaring me), yelling at a company that took my money and hasn't shipped the overpriced product, and I'm cooking my husband rabbit stew (Is it What's Up Doc or Fatal Attraction)? He spent a great deal of his childhood in Spain and they caught, skinned and cooked rabbits. I bought one at the Farmer's Market yesterday and it looked like a roast. When I went to cut it, it was a whole skinned rabbit AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! It does smell good. It's supposed to taste like chicken. He deserves a treat because he's been beyond supportive. I put in things that I can eat. I can't help feeling I murdered Bugs Bunny. Am I still allowed here?

My son would not be happy about the rabbit. We have three as pets. He won't even eat fish because he likes them.

Oh yeah B)

Going back to the songs - How bout the Kinks song Lola L o l a Lola. I listen to the radio when I take a shower and it was on today. Now I can't get it out of my head. I was lucky enough to see the Kinks at the Starlight Ballroom one New Year's Eve (brain fog I think I already posted about it) and man were they amazing. One of the many songs they played was Lola.

With the name Lois I've been called LoLo, Lola, Loey (that one came from my hubby and has stuck for 22 years) and let's not forget all the people who spell my name Louis (and no I don't walk like a woman and talk like a man).

P.S. What does ph34r.gif mean?

Sorry :-( Does it help that she had already had it ready to sell? I just wanted to treat my hubby to something special.

Now that's scary. Glad you didn't see it. Could your runny eyes still have something to do with that even if the air smells clean?

Hey.. . . . . . ....is he single? Think he and my MIL might be a match made in heaven. . . . . ..

However, MIL swerves to avoid pedestrians and animals, and has been unsuccessful on occasion. At least it has never been while she was driving MY car. She has only smashed into the kids' bikes, our big lamp-post, DH's car and many snowbanks while in my vehicle... . . . . ..no people as yet, so I am considered pretty fortunate. :huh:<_<

P.S. What does ph34r.gif mean?

Low-ihss! That little emoticon signifies the desire to stand in front of a net and block pucks, as it looks very like my daughter's face when she stands in full helmeted and padded regalia, staring down the opposing forward as she comes screaming down the ice toward her.. . . .... . :rolleyes:

Actually, it really DOES look like her li'l face.. . . . . ....! :lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
