Just get her one with a lock on the outside.

One of my nieces hooked up with a retired guy with a boat for a couple of years. Sailed the southern seas, she ran her business from the boat. Every now and then they moored at an island with an airport and she would fly off on a sales trip for a week or two. Eventually she felt too confined (Jane's an action kind of gal) and decided she was reading too many books - heck, there wasn't even a miter saw on the boat :o

Well.....let's look at the bright side.Psillyville has been a little tumbleweedy, lately. I'm sure her move will provide lots of interesting stories. You might even want to start a book, Em.Ummmm.......isn't there somebody who should be warned, though? :unsure: Do you have, like, a National Guard or sumphin' up there in Canada?.....the highway patrol?.......Homeland security?........Royal Mounties?........

The Ottawa Police will be getting a new chief soon. It's political. Perhaps the new chief will need a special briefing. (The current chief has been appointed to a seat in the Senate of Canada.)

Peg-Leg Pete?:lol::lol:

My legs are all genuine, even if the middle one doesn't work as well as it once did. :ph34r:

How about #2 ? Its' short and concise and to the point. Unless of course there was a 1 and a 1/2 we don't know about. Or a .5 before #1. Hmmm, getting into fractions and decimal points, scary stuff! :D

I like the idea of a pair. I'm always misplacing things and an extra is good to have around.

Did I really want to know this about POeter? I guess it's only fair if you consider what he has probably read about us :ph34r:

Oh but they're using titanium for prosthetics now! Much more durable :P

Wow......POeter could be a new version of the Bionic Man!

Hah! When I saw that DC had posted I was sure he was here to contribute to POeter's dilemma. He must get e-mail alerts when the testosterone level (albeit minimal, and I'm only saying that because Peter started it) in Psillyville rises *snicker*

Would a titanium one still 'rise'??

Lisa Mentor

Titanium ( /taɪˈteɪniəm/ ty-tay-nee-əm) is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color.

Sounds like a good choice!

We could get Kerreign's son to work on that!

Hmmm, well, no I didn't want to"contribute" to the Peopter's dilemma. Not sure how I would actually, or would want to. I certainly haven't beeng getting notifications on the daily status though, again not sure I would want to. :blink::ph34r:

Unless you meant "contribute" in the sense of helping? :rolleyes: Oh well then... :unsure:

Lets see, Crayon has some handy robot building chilruns around. They could prolly whip up sumthin. Prolly get an "A" in the competition too. Yeah, that's it, Crayon can help! :lol:

Hmmmm. .. ..then there's fibreglass......

Fiberglass (also called glass-reinforced plastic, GRPOpen Original Shared Link, glass-fiber reinforced plastic, or GFRPOpen Original Shared Link), is a Open Original Shared Link made of a Open Original Shared Link matrix reinforced by fine Open Original Shared Link

Fiberglass is a lightweight, extremely strong, and robust material. Although strength properties are somewhat lower than Open Original Shared Link and it is less stiff, the material is typically far less brittle, and the raw materials are much less expensive. Its bulk strength and weight properties are also very favorable when compared to metals, and it can be easily formed using molding processes.

Common uses of fiber glass include boats, automobiles, baths, hot tubs, water tanks, roofing, pipes, cladding and external door skins. A less common application would be in the production of prosthetic penii.

Could be a winner, here.......strong, robust.....less stiff but less brittle........cheaper... . . .lightweight.....can be easily formed using a molding process..... .. ....

My oldest was giving lessons on hydraulics to a robotics team. Maybe titanium with a hydraulic ( compressed air) lift? If he needs a project for his mechanical engineering class, I'll have him consult with everyone here. ;)

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  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:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
