WOW. . . . ....my Official Reign was SO long, and Kween Kherrighnne the First is only lookin' at a few days at this rate... . . ....

You'll have to share a room with Em

that's okay...that's better than the barn with the 3 farm hands... :unsure:

Well....not if the farm hand looked like this:

Swiss_farmers_52809_m.webp

I grant you a Royal Pardon for whatever the H*** you are neglecting at this time.

Hear hear!! This monarch is a good 'un. . . . ..she's already declaring edicts, putting official business in order. .. .. . ..I did, like, nuttin'... . . .

:huh::rolleyes:

Luciferase activity of transfected cells.....

You can hook up the gene from fireflies that makes the glow (luciferase) to a promoter for whatever gene you are interested in and put this into cells. Then when you try to "turn on" your gene of interest, it turns on the production of the luciferase. You light up the luciferase by adding a chemical and measure how much it glows. The more it glows, the more you (would) have turned on your gene.

Does that work with BE as well as Gene?

... . . And with Lucifer?. . . .... . :unsure:. . . . Wait....isn't he in this conversation, somewhere?.. . . ....

Dear gawd, the subject is turning dangerously close to MATHS. We must STOP this.

Genes of interest.. . . . .....not too many, historically, have interested me.. .. . ..Gene Wilder was a funny, funny man. . .. ....Gene Simmons is strangely fascinating, as well......

Oh, WAIT! The most fantastic Gene of ALL! HOW could I have forgotten about this CLASSIC man?

If Em lived here, she would come

Just sayin

;)

Absolutely!! And I would dance, too!

If Genes are to be discussed, as a long-time large scale computer geek, I must suggest Open Original Shared Link as an important Gene.

Whoa, now he's a noteworthy Gene. .. . .....wouldn't classify him as prime farmhand material, but up there with Kelly, Autrey, Simmons and Siskel .. .. . ... .

HEY! The most significant Genes of ALL, at least 'round here:

Not sure. I'm dealing with a GUS (Glutening of Unknown Source). Gus is an angry cus and he doesn't want to tell me where the gluten came from. :lol::blink::(

Suspecting gluten-free Rice Krispies somehow got me but I don't want it to be true..... :unsure:

Welcome to our glorious thread Irish Heart.

All Hail The Glorious Kueen Kanrenggg!

I miss you all. Took the outer dressing off my surgery site. Now it's back to bed after reading 163 emails.

P.S. Tony wanted to quit his job after his first night. He and Clark had words but Tony apologized this AM.He was under the (wrong) assumption that Brown got all the $ he earns because every student has to make $2,500 a summer but the students get to use it for incidentals. He's upset that he's working all night shifts but we told him that's life. Tony was also just diagnosed with ANA so we're all going to our PCP with him on Monday. That is probably why his joints always hurt and he's always tired. He unfortunately seems to have my immune system. unsure.gif

Well, that is great timing, then... . . ....buying new jeans when you feel puny makes anything you try on look decent, I'd bet... . . . ..

I never feel puny. Particularly when I've been glutened - - then I feel HUGE. Phat, bloated... . . . . ..gargantuan. <_<

Hope you're feeling better right quick, Mannnna... . . .

Loey! Um .. . . . ....what is ANA?. . . . . . ..:unsure:. .. . .

Just helped SIL move. She is getting divorced. It really sad because she really has nothing but it took 2 small Uhaul, mini van, hatchback & pick up truck trips to move it all. She moved things because They were "hers" in the divorce, even if she didn't have room for them or a need. She has 25 smallish boxes of books but no bed. She bought 4 big book shelves for the books. :blink:

The funniest part was 7 guys trying to move an old upright piano up 1 skinny flight of stairs. They eventually turned it on its side & got it and one of the guys, trapped in the old elevator. Eventually, it made it to the apartment.

There is some sort of moral about if you have enough testosterone envolved......

BE and I talk about his ex and the stuff she got in the divorce and took because it's "hers". He said she sits in her small condo packed full of "her" furniture and does nothing. Seems to me that if you aren't careful you end up winning a lot of stuff that does nothing but hold unpleasant memories.

Seems to me that if you aren't careful you end up winning a lot of stuff that does nothing but hold unpleasant memories.

It was more sad than what is "hers". Its hard to explain. She has 100's of books that most of us would have given away or sold at a garage sale or passed to a friend. She has a couch that has been in some sort of storage (unit, garage, basement, garage again) for 15 years - Yuck. She doesn't need it because she has 2 wood rockers & 2 pleather chairs.

I felt bad leaving her with this huge stack of boxes that you can't get around. I at least put the clothes in the bedroom, Xmas decor & sewing stuff in the storage closet, kitchen stuff next to the kitchen. Another friend & I offered to come back this evening, crack open one of the bottles of wine she moved & set up the bookshelves & put shelf paper in the kitchen cabinets (clean but yucky). I lied & told her I had a bunch of it I wanted to get rid of since she is more than broke. I was just going to get more. It would be an overwhelming mess in a happy situaton... :(

Sorry. Not funny! J & I have already vented to each other enough. He had brought tools so he could put things together & hang pictures if she wanted. She did seem happy to have him there. She was one of his favorite babysitters when he was a toddler.

I do understand, having been through two divorces. It's a combination of wanting to keep everything that would make the other person happy, and feeling like you've lost so much already you can't let go of the things you have, whether they should be part of your life or not.

Do what you're doing. Let her know that she hasn't lost friends along with this huge chunk of her life. Once she begins to realize that she really is ok, and all still there, she'll be able to let go of all the stuff that she's keeping for protection. Divorce isn't about losing a spouse, it's about losing all the dreams and plans you had. About losing what you thought your life was, who you thought you were. All she has right now for protection are the memories caught up in her stuff. Help her learn to make new memories and she'll be able to see the things as things again.

True, not phunny, but symbolic of the strength we have. One of the reasons I love all you guys is the sheer personal strength you exude. :)

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area.

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5.

I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.
