I wish I could understand what it is with boys and their toys!!! Grow up already

:rolleyes:

The WIFE is worse. Her truck is louder, her mouth bigger, her gut and arse fatter and her language saltier.

When they moved in, she told me "we ain't having kids", so no worries about " them runnin around "...(good to know they aren't passing on those genes, I guess?) meanwhile, they have tons of "kids" here are the time, only they are in the 20s and 30's, "seasonally employed" or on workmen's comp and drinking beer all day.

How do they afford those toys, I wonder.....

anyhoo. 'nuff about those varmints!!....it's quiet right now and we'll take it!! :)

And perhaps this is the key to getting rid of them? Perhaps they are doing a bit of farming?

Thought of that ---but he claims he found plants on the land adjacent to ours and pulled them all out. I dunno. he's WIRED like a madman. Very hot tempered and eyes buggin out.

Oh well, we're getting too old for all this work. Florida looks good.... B)

HEY NOW! :o

We don't want those miscreants around here! It is quite tranquil around here, thank you very much <_<

If they're selling/using drugs, it's something they're cooking, not growing. I never met anyone who got 'cranked up' on weed. I mean really.....

No, sorry I was not clear. What I meant was...he is very vocal AGAINST the use of drugs. Claims he found some major pot plants in the acreage next to ours and "we can't have that kind of thing around here" blah blah bluster bluster

I never met anyone who was cranked up on weed either. :lol:

And I do not think he's got a meth lab going over there.

We've got the only one on the road.

(just kidding--to see if anyone really reads closely what I write)

I know he is not using anything.

He's like a "militia" type, lotsa guns, paranoid, racist and VERY high strung.

Maybe he has a gluten problem.... :lol:

I think you should print out some info on Celiac and go over it with him! What a wonderful way to help your neighbor!

Sounds like some weed is in order!

Thaat's kinda wierd, though... The New England paranoid militia types tend to be very reserved and withdrawn... definitely not the ATV type. Maybe that's because they're surrounded by liberals up here.... :D

Verrrry chatty, loud talker, veins pop out in his forehead, eyes bug out.

Em, eeyup....I found the "outfit" a little disturbing myself (as I do not think dogs like to wear humiliating clothing :rolleyes: )

but maybe she likes it and it makes her happy (recall my Mom's expression?) :lol: She looks pretty happy. My dog would have ripped that thing off with her teeth in about 5 seconds. :lol:

Hats, scarves, that sort of thing? uh uh...Gracie did not find those amusing.

You know, I was at a wedding on Saturday and the groom's dog (who is ADDICTED to fetch the way humans are addicted to meth) was following people around on the dance floor the whole time with a dirty stick trying to get someone to play fetch. I have to say I prefer this!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I bet this guy started this when HIS dog wouldn't get off the dance floor!! Doggie's obviously having a blast! How fun!

YES! Her skirt blowin' up, and all.. . . .... :lol:

Quite true, that bright retriever looks SO happy -- someone giving her a challenging mental job to do.. . . ...and her tail never stops wagging.

Perhaps she was, in fact, consulted on the outfit. But I dunno -- goldies are very intelligent.....can't imagine she would ever have okayed a tacky little frock like that....

I said this to hubs and mentioned how he also has paranoia, insomnia, and anxiety...but hubs said "um, take it easy, you see celiacs everywhere"....I said "Because they ARE everywhere."

it's true, I do...like that little boy in the movies who sees dead people? :ph34r:

Nope, that would have been her border collie BFF.....

I SO hear you on that, Irish.. . ...I must interrupt two or three overheard conversations a week, mostly in the gym changing room or after a class, as I listen to people describing all of their celiac symptoms to one another, completely baffled and sick... . . .....

Hey, we can do this -- one celiac at a time! ;)

I have a friend whose spouse thinks diarrhea is "normal", who has peripheral neuropathy, who has had a couple of seizures, who has GERD, who is low on B12, who is skinny as a rail and who thinks I am really weird because I don't eat gluten. :huh:

      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.
