Suz--you're too kind :D I'm puffy and tired looking (been a rough winter and I ate lots of popcorn <_< ) but I really love the cut. It lays perfectly--I washed it this morning and just put in some anti-phrizz cream, arrainged it wif me phingers and that was it. I'm tired of fighting with it--the relaxers are just too damaging and blow drying only lasts if there no humidity in the air--which will be even more of a problem in Texas.......

I'm glad I did it--I've already found a salon in Houston that does it. The cool thing is that the stylist said it should last for about 12 weeks....maybe a bit less.

It looks great, Paddeigh!

I am so jealous of naturally curly hair. When I have a perm, that's all I do......wash, mousse and toss! But it grows out so fast and is so pharkin expensive! :angry:

My hair, left on it's own, is so........blah. And I don't like spending time and effort on styling it. During the worst years of my fibro, I couldn't hold me arms up that long.

I may just get a wavy perm next time, so when it starts to grow out, it won't be as noticeable.

Seems like hair is one of those things we're never satisfied with. I have 3 older sisters, and I remember the one with curly hair using orange juice cans, and an iron to try to straighten her hair (ever see someone iron their hair? Hilarious :lol: ) I remember the old stinky, make your eyes water and burn your skin perms, sisters using all kinds of rollers. The 3rd sister had black, thick, beautiful long hair that I wanted so badly for my own. <:sighingwithresignationface:>

A woman goes to her boyfriend's parents' house for a formal dinner.

This is to be her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous.

They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal.

The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty phart.

It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the poof.

Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing under the woman's chair, and said in a rather stern voice, 'Skippy!'.

The woman thought, 'This is great!' and a big smile came across her face.

A couple of minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again.

This time, she didn't even hesitate. She let a much louder and longer rrrrrip.

The father again looked at the dog and yelled, 'Skippy!'

Once again the woman smiled and thought 'Yes!' A few minutes later the woman had to let another rip This time she didn't even think about it.

She let a phart rip that rivaled a train whistle blowing.

Once again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, 'Skippy, get away from her, before she s$#&s on you!'

:lol::lol::lol:

Listen up, guys.....The Wildcats have made it into the quarter-final tonight at nine. If they win, it's the gold medal game tomorrow at noon.

*********GO WILDCATS!!!!!*********

Very phunny... . . . . . .Sophie has long had trouble making trapped saves (in her trapper):

http://www.thehockeyshop.com/Merchant2/gra...hRX5Trapper.webp

Much like a big, stiff baseball glove. She has always insisted that it was because it is SOOOO stiff, she can't grip the hard mesh around the puck, being new leather and all. In frustration this week, DH took her trapper, put two tennis balls in its grip, taped it tight, and threw it out on our porch for five days. It stayed frozen solid. Yesterday morning we pulled the tape off, and Sophie can suddenly move her hand in it any which way. Success!

So, the last three games have been unbelievable. She's been snapping pucks out of the air, grabbing and twisting them into her glove like they're lobbed baseballs. Too phunny......So it's our Team Secret, and we're quietly whispering it amongst the parents and spectators. . . . . .."The Team of the frozen Trapper". . . .........

very groggy and tired today.........last night's dreams :blink:

Was moving into a house.......seemed average at first and then - new, secret, FABULOUS rooms discovered - BTW, I have that A LOT in dreams, discovering rooms and secret chambers that are GLORIOUS and I never knew they were there before. Do you guys have this???

LEESARH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what does this mean???????????? :lol:

but anywho (yawn - are ya glazin' over yet? :lol: ) in my new house I discovered a FABULOUS, tawny, creamy-caramel and quite soothing master suite with magnificent lighting and accoutrements and posh fabrics.......but there primitive slim slots and cages under these shelves, holding a COUGAR, and a never-before-seen TABBY-STRIPED BOBCAT of some kind. :blink: These got out were trying to attack the Weasel and I kept shooing them away, it did not work :lol:

(well, this is what goes on in real life here with wee feral kitteh)

Kitteh DOES need a name!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was researching kitteh names last night........literary cat names, most popular cat names, ideas for naming, celebrity cat names (BTW Cyndi Lauper's cat is named WEASEL :lol: )

He is a really playful, beguiling, darling little love bug..... :wub: Very mellow and calm and rather unflappable, and just so sweet.....I pondered naming him Winston, after Churchill, my favorite world leader but....it sounds pompous :huh:

Lauren suggested Frank since she found him at Frank Homan elementary, and it's PERFECT, but I briefly dated a strange guy named Frank whom I'd like to never think of again :huh:

BTW Charles de Gaulle had a cat named Gris Gris. Of course, this means grEY in French but - it's also a famous belay device used in climbing. but it's ALSO a voodoo charm/amulet to ward off evil :unsure:

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! He is attackign my feet........................

SILLIES!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!! we might go back to Jenks.......Jenkins.......not sure - it fits him, somehow............

The rooms part means that you need to take a closer look at your life.......ther are wonderful aspects to it that you have not yet discovered. The wildcats signify that you are afraid that change will disrupt the comfy and predictable life you and Weezie have. ;)

.........you do realize I'm just pulling this out of me arse.......right? :lol::lol::lol:

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.
    • trents
      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time. 
    • nataliallano
      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.   
    • Zuma888
      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
    • Scott Adams
      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
