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

Saw your weather on the GMA this morning.

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)

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
