So, it looks to me like someone is letting their left brain do all the hard work like m+-*$, while their right brain gets to go out and have all the fun.

Just wanted to check with our queen if that incurs any sort of tax?

Oh, no, wait - who could calculate the tax then?

All you goofballs and your spelling reminded me of this....

Ghoti

Pronounce the GH like it is in tough (f sound)

Pronounce the O like it is in women (i sound)

Pronounce the TI like it is in nation (sh sound)

And that is why phonics never worked for me! :D

Absolutely, yes... . ...inciting ANY mathematical equations, positing ANY formulas -- algebriac or other --, even mention of percentages.....results in a Math Tax charge.

NO exemptions!

Whoa! I've always enjoyed Los Matematicos, what kind? Like Bachelor's & Master's?

Operation Onesie Twosie was a special time wasn't it?

Ascension, Vacation & the "let'em eat cake-ization" of virtual abdication thru willfully choosing a netless chasmistic abyss prior to even first sunset of the ascendancy. It was an OUTRAGE!

"Like in swimming pool"!!

I'm loving this partly because IT SHOULD'VE ALREADY COME UP over the 6 or whatever yrs this thread's been going! (Or did I miss it?)

Anyway, hat-tip to MW ....wish I'd thought of that. ;)

The 1st sentence reminded me of some fun at work long ago. Summer job at Honeywell working on TCAS, their airliner Traffic Collision Avoidance System, & in making sure we had some alphanumeric code right, from a bit of a distance.

Him: so .. .."N?"

Me: no, M.

Him: N?

Me: M!

Him: as in . .. Night?

Me: Might? What?

Him: as in Numb?

Me: Mum? Dammit (both laughing already)

Him: dammit YOU choose the word!

Me: okay, M as in Mnemonic

When I was in grade school, they always used to say "if you do not know how to spell a word look it up in the dictionary" and I was always like, "and how the freak you expect me to look it up if I can not spell it???" :blink:

I was not a well loved student. :huh:

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
