Never been called Crayon before. Called a lot of other things...kinda like Crayon. It's colorful. Can I be magenta or aquamarine?

Used to live in old town Alex. Where were you? We could have helped Muffin with the wine!

I changed my av to a glass mosaic crab from my project. Can you see him?

Hi Crayon,

Yep, of course you can! Quinacridone magenta is all yours, and very appropriate too!

I can't see your mosaicatar yet. I live on Crapital Hill near H Street NE. From my house, you can smell the tax dollars burning, only 6 blocks from the hot air center of the universe.

Old Town Alexandria is a neat area. I imagine you went to the Torpedo Factory Art Center there? I took some art classes there a few years back. Nice place.

Jeee-Eff, you have a new av? It must be a pic of pizza, I'm figgerin'. .. . ...I canna get it to appear, even after hitting F5.. . ..it's still just that funny li'l man.. . . .:unsure:.. . .

Post a pic of yer painting, Jeee! Wanna see it. . . !

Sorry M-Lee, Crayon fingered it out. I had changed my profile pic but not my avaturd. Hmmm, I have to download the pics first. Guess that is all right to post? I am not sure on the rules for that. I am working on another one today, will see how it goes.

You want a pic of one of my boys for my av? :unsure:

Ha ha ha! Y-not? Gobble gobble. :D

Gee efff, you changed your profile pic but maybe not the AV? 2 different things. Go to change the av in change my profile. Then put your stick body in there. I really like that pic!

Yep, Crayon, the computer nose what I want to do but doesn't like to help me sometimes. Silly stubborn computer. The delaid reaction was not a PWTB policy at all!

OK, Muffin may have got some wine somewhere. Or some catnip. She turned on the ceiling fan in the bedroom again. Every once in a while she does that, and then some days later she turns it off.

Somewhere she has hidden the remote control for the fan and likes to play with it occasionally. Danged if I can find it. She won't say where it is hidden either.

A few weeks ago she had it turned on full high speed, and it was chilly in there too! Then she turned it off and it's been off for a few weeks. She is darn ornery sometimes, now she has it running on low. At least that isn't too bad for the chill factor. She won't sleep on the bed when it is on full high speed tho. Cam dat!

:D

Can anyone see the reddish crab in my avatar? I did the same thing I did before and it looked OK.

Yes, Gee Eff, we used to go to the T Factory a lot. Went to a costume Mardi Gras party. The costumes were amazing!

Yes, I see it. You're anything but a crab my dear Karreennee!! I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave so I'm trying to stay offline. It's a bit addictive, isn't it?

I'll be back (like AHRNOLD)

Jeee-Eff! I can see yer new pic now - - a rather surreal stick-man. Is this a rendering of your face? You look rather old-fashioned villian-like.. . . ..the type who once tied young damsels to the railroad tracks. . . . ...:huh:. .. .. . :rolleyes:

Man, I'm just realizing what a horrific thing this would be to do to a damsel. ... . . . talk about being in distress.....gawd, imagine being bound, immobile, on those big tracks... . . . .. ..a massive locomotive approaching, rails pounding, whistle screaming.. .. . ..... ...

Gah. Squish.

Right, then... . .back to Psilliness.. .. . .

Don't they always get saved by a Canadian Mountie?

So, I needed to clean out this one small kitchen cabinet thingy. It was full of recipes, most of which, for glutinous reasons, I will never make. I wanted to make room for a few things that got displaced by the dining room furniture change. This of course has now led to the cleaning of several more areas in the kitchen. You cannot clean one mess up without it creating another mess! And conundrums about what will fit in the space. By the time I get through, we won't be able to find anything! Also, do flower vases replicate themselves?

Love the picture of Dudley Doright.

I wonder if the florist would want to re-use the vases? It seems a waste to throw them out.

Wonder how Jess's busy weekend is going? Wonder if they made it to any of the things they were planning? ;)

I'm sure they would--my son's girlfriend's family owns 2 florist shops and I had a ton of vases building up at one point. I finally asked if they could use them and she said definitely.

Hi M-lee,

Yep, that's my mug, or somewhat like it anyhow. Damsels actually like being tied to the tracks a lot if you ask me. They always make a bunch of those fun little squeakly sounds of joy thru their gags. Such a blast they are having!

Hub has decided that the gathering for his employees/ co- workers should just be a quick pop by after work for a drink during the week. Now I'm afraid I will have too much food!

Well, since I'm talking to myself, I'll go make that crab some friends.

This sounds vaguely familiar. :rolleyes: I have some stuff in the living room that needs to go in the attic, so I have to clean and organize the attic.....getting rid of stuff. Some things in the attic need to go in the closet under the stairs, so now I have to clean that out (the Twa can be soooo messy! They are serious hoarders <_< )

In the past week I have managed to bruise my arm at the exact place I broke it AND bruised my elbow on the same arm! :( Oye!

Exactly right on the cleaning! But with your re-injured arm, you won't be able to clean for weeks. ;)

I did go see the Picasso exhibit and it is fabulous. If it tours near you it's worth the effort. I'm taking today off to do my homework and because I can. :)

Heading out for a walk, which I haven't done in a long time.

Looks like Picasso is going to Richmond Virginia Feb-May.

I just saw that. However far you are from Virgina, it's still a lot closer than Paris...

      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.
