It would fit on my entire hand. They're very religious so it definitely wouldn't go over well.

They likely wouldn't even recognise it as a condom - - you could pass it off as a nice, coloUrless balloon. .. . .... . ..um, unless it has a reservoir end.. . . . .. . ... :lol:

Phrequently driven over the Skookumchuck on my way to Seattle. Always makes me giggle at such a horrible name!

It is probably another word for "snow" in Inuit. .. . .. . ..

My son has the Jesus action figure 'with gliding motion' It's phabulous!!

OMG. . . .. . ....:lol:. . . . I thought this was simply a joke. .. .one can buy Jesus Christ action figures? I suppose Mattel's really got you with all of the accessories you feel forced to buy right along with him, like the robe, crown of thorns, snap-on crucifix. . .. . . ..... . ..I'll bet there is an expandable, fold-up creche. Is there a Mary Magdelene action figure? Gawd, you're looking at real bucks if you buy the big Last Supper table, and the accompanying Twelve Disciple action figures. . ... . . .. . this whole thing gets really expensive... :unsure:

See, told ya:

Each hard plastic Jesus Action Figure stands 5" tall with poseable arms to reach toward the heavens and wheels in his base for smooth gliding action

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Skookumchuck:

Skookum means "strong" or "powerful", and "chuck" means water, so skookumchuck means "rapids" or "whitewater" (literally, "strong water"). It can mean any rapids, but in coastal usage refers to the powerful tidal rapids at the mouths of most of the major coastal inlets.

Every town has a Crazy Cat Lady. She's the one who lives in a tiny house full of feral felines. This 5-1/4'' (13.3 cm) tall, hard vinyl Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure has a wild look in her eye and comes with six cats.

:lol:

This sounds much like the situation 'round here... . . . . ...ever since we've cut our Christmas card-receivers list, and now eliminated the list completely, the cards coming in are few and far between. This year, our mantle is thus far sporting four lovely cards: one from our kids' orthodontist (more a thank-you note for paying his rent for the past six years), the yearly card from the salesman who sold me my used car five years ago, wishing me and my family all the very best; a large, sporty card from the Girls' Hockey Association asking festively if I have more time to volunteer in the new year, ANNNNND a cute card from our veterinarian's office, signed by all the tecs (again, a 'thank you for contributing to our salaries with your multiple-animal household').

So personal and heartfelt, this time of year is. . . . . . . ..

There are several. Go on Amazon. There are figures with accessories and even a talking Jesus that spouts the scripture. Anything for money I suppose. I'm curious if Tony reacts to the condom. He just hasn't been into Christmas for a few years (other than money) so we hope it will give him a laff. BTW, Clark's snoring turned out to be a cold which I promptly caught. Making my famous Jewish Penicillin and feel so crappy I'm skipping my painting class (I also don't want to spread it to any of my classmates).

That reminds me of a story about my son Tony. We had three deaths in a 6 month period (both of our moms and Clark's brother). At one of the funerals Tony leaned over to Rob and said "Daddy, I really don't want to drink blood today." He had never had Holy Communion but he had been to so many funerals that he was afraid he had to drink it. He was also afraid of old people (hope he's not afraid of me now -LOL).

BTW, bit the bullet and called my current GI to cancel my second EGD and tell them I was transferring to another doctor. They just called and were very nice and said that as soon as I sign a release form they'll send my records. My appointment with the new GI is only a week after the procedure I cancelled (January 20). YAY!!!!!

I find this whole concept of openness about sex highly entertaining, coming from a repressed family myself. BE told me last night that his SIL asked him once at a family dinner if he and his previous-long-term-girlfriend had good sex. I just stared at him. "she ASKED you???" In my family we pretend that the whole silly business doesn't exist.

Here it is.

      Thank you for the information ill will definitely bring it into practice .

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
