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.

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'??

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!

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:

Hell, we've gotten descriptions and photographs of his balls.... .. . ..

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. ;)

      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.
