17 Euphemisms for Sex From the 1800s

by Adrienne Crezo - September 4, 2012 - 1:52 P

:lol::lol:

Face-Making!...Brilliant in its literal hilarity.... .. ..

Mental Floss is THEEEE best mag -- Jack and I are avid readers...

Speaking of which, Vincent, Jack the Ripper is my 15 year-old son who is a huge consumer of sci-fi fiction. He chatted at length with POeter while they were here about P's very famous multi award-winning brother who writes sci-fi novels... . ...always nervous about mentioning big names, here...:unsure:... . .Anyway, I have put Jack onto you, and he is very excited to have found another author that speaks to him! Do you have a facebook page?

Any time a silly has come anywhere near here, I have met up with them.

So there:)

Oh yes! Patteigh even went a little out of her way to Texas just to meet me!

(In my little world of make-believe that was the ONLY reason for her and Mark to be there ;) )

I have actually not read their mag... just their web site. Love it. Is there anything in the mag that is NOT on the site?

Holy crap...only a few hours of sleep last night... . . ...we went to see Madonna's theatrical offering as it stopped off in its tour across Canada...

She is unbelievable in many ways, but mostly in the way her body looks, and MOVES, for a fifty-four year-old.... I was like this :blink: throughout...

Great phun... B)

I have some news I feel I need to share with you psillies. Most of you are aware that I have been in a long term relationship with the same man for the past six years. Without getting into too many details here on the board, I will tell you that about a month ago I decided to break up with him, and he subsequently committed suicide.

While I very much appreciate (and need!) the support that I know I will get from you, I also want you to know that I am also sharing this as I have been feeling disingenuous on the board as of late. There have been a number of conversations I haven't joined as I would need to refer to my relationship in the past tense and I knew you all would notice. So just so you know what's going on, I will be talking about my 'past' relationship from now on on the board.

Bun, I don't quite know what to say. I do understand your feeling of being disingenuous, though. When such a profound, life altering event occurs you are not the same person and it gets tricky communicating as we do on a message board.

You (both) are in my thoughts and I hope you know that I'm always here for you.

It sure does.....difficult enough communicating face-to-face with someone after something like this, let alone on a forum....we're all thinking about you, Bhun!

Jeepers, Bun Bun, what a terrible thing to have happen. I am so sorry for what you have been going through. Thank you for sharing with us. {{{hugs}}}

I'm so sorry, Bunbun. What a difficult and tragic thing to go through. And as Patteigh said ......life-altering. Many psillies have backed away while going through their own life-altering events, and it seems that most come back when they begin to heal. Although you may never quite feel the same....I know I don't......it is a comfort to be nestled amongst the psillies :wub: I hope this is a sign that you are healing. I hope to see you popping in from time to time so we can snuggle you up and give you a giggle once in a while. :)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
