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. ;)

Oh, excellent! I can hear Kherrighnne's son's pitch to his mechanical engineering professor : "See, sir... . ..I have this project idea -- it's actually a request from some on-line friends of my mom.... ....they have a Psilly thread continuing on a celiac forum, and it has nothing to do with celiac disease....just, funny stuff, ya know........anyways, just wondering if I could organize a team to produce and operate an enormous, functioning prosthetic penis. I'm thinking titanium with hydraulic lifting capabilities... . .. ...

Yep. He's gotta go for this.. . ....

:lol:

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

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.

Ah yes........a little known fact :P

Butch ran out of the house this morning while my friend was leaving. He spent two hours trying to catch him, and finally gave up. When I came home this evening I spent a little time wandering around calling for Butch. Eventually he showed up on the deck, I let him in, and he raced straight for the potty. Poor guy had to pee soooo bad and there aren't any potties outside. :P

Well now......sounds like you've been keeping something from us! Babble away! :P

He sounds fascinating already :)

He sounds like a keeper and you deserve it! Happy New Year to all. I've really missed all of you. Please excuse the copy and paste - it took me an hour to do it send thank God for spellcheck. Here's a copy and paste to update you on where I've been It is mostly medical except for New Years Eve.

Here is my medical update: I cannot swallow and am losing a pound every other day. I cannot (or will not use the MJ because Tony is applying to have an FBI internship this summer and although it is legal in RI it is not at the federal level) l. I also still have severe pain in my abdomen (they did surgery because they wanted to make sure I did not have a blockage. have trouble with my eyesight. and I am weak like a 90 year old (actually some of them are healthier). Superman has to take me everywhere. He is is surpassing his nickname . My oncologist has changed the frequency that I see her from 3 months to 2 months and now its two weeks. She might have to do a bone marrow biopsy. I am hanging in there and trying to be positive. I know that being positive can get you through anything. I need to get out of bed and visit my psillies again. I've REALLY missed all of you.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>&nbsp;Now to the ppsillie stuff. At the New Year Eves party they had a gift swap. Everyone brought guilty pleasure. I brought a cashmere scarf for the man and a coupon to a wonderful cooking store in a quaint Village in Mystic for he woman. The game went this way: we drew numbers and that was the order of gift picking. You can exchange your gift when it's your turn. I got the number one and the game rules said that I could swap at the beginning and the end. Well at some point the gift was a vibrator and we laughed for about a half hour. One of our neighbors had her 75 year old father there so she was very embarrassed. It was definitely a great night and I did not have as much pain while I was there.

OK my dear sweet psiiles it's off to bed.

Hugs and I miss you all and will try to get on the thread again soon all my love,Lo

Do the chickies have a heater? Or do they have to come in & snuggle, too?

Chickies have fresh straw, and when the snow stops I'll put fresh shavings in their coop. It's not all that cold (30F), just cold for here. :D

OK, the boy went home yesterday, and now it's time for homework. We have to write a grant to study some inherited disease, and I chose gluten intolerance. By Tuesday I have to write a one page summary of the condition. However will I learn enough about the disease by then?? :blink: :blink:

.....through mud and muck, . ...

Is this related to your 7500 post milestone?

This tests the rigidity of a 'flipover' definition, i'd say. Must it be max flip, as in (n-1) zeroes?

Here's to hoping any mud and/or muck is really quite minimal.

Quite horrendous, really.

Oh jeez, already?

I've been doing ok, anyway. Maybe 70%ish. Takes as much effort as I have, it seems.

But I wanna try to come around here a lot more.

Still working part-time after-hrs at sandisk. Got a (hefty almost %-wise) raise last wk but of course still underpaid compared to before. And no benefits as a part-time temporary contractor. Really never could've guessed i'd be a temp for 3+ yrs & counting.

(Too used to prev ph woulda autocorr i'd to I'd.)

I'm actually just now going to bed b4 dawn. Worked til 1am. I'd try working daytime if they'd all just promise to not use perfumes, colognes, fragrancey shampoos or cleansers.

Or git a SCAWBA unit. (AboveWater)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
