A Stinky Story (actually pretty gross)

DO YOU PASS GAS IN BED?

THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A COUPLE WHO HAD BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED FOR YEARS..

THE ONLY FRICTION IN THEIR MARRIAGE WAS THE HUSBAND'S HABIT OF phARTING LOUDLY EVERY MORNING WHEN HE AWOKE. THE NOISE WOULD WAKE HIS WIFE AND THE SMELL WOULD MAKE HER EYES WATER AND MAKE HER GASP FOR AIR.

EVERY MORNING SHE WOULD PLEAD WITH HIM TO STOP RIPPING THEM OFF BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING HER SICK. HE TOLD HER HE COULDN'T STOP IT AND THAT IT WAS PERFECTLY NATURAL. SHE TOLD HIM TO SEE A DOCTOR. SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY HE WOULD BLOW HIS GUTS OUT.

THE YEARS WENT BY AND HE CONTINUED TO RIP THEM OUT. THEN ONE THANKSGIVING MORNING AS SHE WAS PREPARING THE TURKEY FOR DINNER AND HE WAS UPSTAIRS SOUND ASLEEP, SHE LOOKED AT THE INNARDS OF THE TURKEY - GIZZARD AND LIVER. A MALICIOUS THOUGHT CAME TO HER.

SHE TOOK THE GIZZARD AND LIVER UPSTAIRS WHERE HER HUSBAND WAS SOUND ASLEEP, AND GENTLY PULLING THE BED COVERS BACK, SHE PULLED BACK THE ELASTIC WAISTBAND OF HIS UNDERPANTS AND PUT THEM INTO HIS SHORTS.

SOME TIME LATER SHE HEARD HER HUSBAND WAKEN WITH HIS USUAL TRUMPETING WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM AND THE SOUND OF FRANTIC FOOT STEPS AS HE RAN INTO THE BATH ROOM. THE WIFE COULD HARDLY CONTROL HERSELF AS SHE ROLLED ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING, TEARS IN HER EYES! AFTER YEARS OF TORTURE SHE RECKONED SHE HAD GOT HIM BACK PRETTY GOOD.

ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER, HER HUSBAND CAME DOWNSTAIRS IN HIS BLOODSTAINED UNDERPANTS WITH A LOOK OF HORROR ON HIS FACE. SHE BIT HER LIP AS SHE ASKED HIM WHAT WAS THE MATTER.

HE SAID, 'HONEY YOU WERE RIGHT. ALL THESE YEARS YOU HAVE WARNED ME AND I DIDN'T LISTEN TO YOU'.

'WHAT DO YOU MEAN?' ASKED HIS WIFE.

'WELL, YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY I WOULD END UP phARTING MY GUTS OUT, AND TODAY IT FINALLY HAPPENED.'

'BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, SOME VASELINE AND TWO FINGERS. I THINK I GOT MOST OF IT BACK IN.'

Um....yes :huh:

Be veerrry careful with hypnosis.....there may very well be subliminal messages after all! Yeah, I understand Rippelers fascination with hypnosis! I took a bunch of psychology courses in college. I loved them all and was quite obsessed with finding out what makes people tick....including myself. I played around with self-hypnosis :o and would NeVeR recommend that anyone do that. Could be quite dangerous.....hmmmm...maybe that's what happened.

Well, how fascinating!!...(I am also very interested in psychology)

Here's a funny.

An Englishman, Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar and each order a pint of Guinness. By some chance, a little fly lands in each of their drinks. So the Englishman pushes his beer away in disgust and asks for another. The Scotsman simply flicks the fly away and gives the Englishman a look.

The Irishman picks up the fly, holds it over the glass, and yells "Spit it out, you bastard!!!"

Hee!... to be sure!

GADS!!!!!!!!!!! <slightly serious moment>

I dunno WHAT is going on wiv Tel but he is COVERED in hives on his back and torso :unsure: , loads of swelling too, he's in quite a bit of pain :( (was awake most of the night )

Quite alarming as he never had owt like this before :blink:

...might browse Ebay....see if I can pick him up a new immune system (ERROR on his existing!!! :rolleyes:)

Nikerler! Paul McKenna is quite well-known 'round this house.....Jack and I sat through two of his specials that were on TV a few months ago.

For whatever the reason, The Ripper was immediately fascinated by everything this bloke was saying and doing (and needs to lose NO weight - - being a growing kid, he needs to gain). He was captivated by McKenna's self-hypnosic approaches (picturing worms in the peanut butter), and insisted one night that we all keep our eyes closed throughout our entire dinner. Sure enough, I only ate two-thirds of me plate (likely because I couldn't find half of the food)..... . .. :lol:

Hmmmmm . . . How can you eat 2/3 if you only found 1/2? . . . please don't help Sophie wif her MathS anymore, I'm askeerd she won't pass.

Nik! This sounds worrying about Tel. . . . .. :unsure: Should he perhaps have it looked at?

St. David's Day! For whatever the reason, My dad seems to know a fair amount about this curious holiday.....during my visit to the hospital this aft he was telling me that on this day, Welshmen traditionally wear either a daffodil or a leek in their breast pockets. :huh:

Gah. :rolleyes: Hmmmm.. ..... . Let's see... . . . ....it looked like there was 1/2 left on me plate (such a surprise, and all), but there was really only 1/3.. . .?

:lol:

Sophie got 82% on her math test last week... :)

I helped her very little, as one may guess. . ..

Jeesh! Where IS me brain :huh: I meant to comment on Tel's situation. Nik--could it be allergic? Has he used/eaten/been around anything different? Is it itchy or just painful? Shingles can cause those sorts of symptoms--me dad had an outbreak last year and it wasn't confined to just his waist area.

Let us know :)

Did you attack him during a hypnotic trance?

Patti, honey, you are so far from ninny that it's hardly worth mentioning. Huge changes going on in your life. Child will be expected to act like an adult at all times. Selling a house. Expected to live among Texans. Be strong, woman. And bring an armadillo to get a head start on your garden.

A little Jack-worthy info (from Wiki):

In the United States, the sole resident armadillo is the Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), which is most common in the central southernmost states, particularly Texas.

Most members of the genus Dasypus give birth to four homozygous young (that is, identical quadruplets).

So here's an interesting thing that has been going on over the last week or so at the store. We are just off Toronto's main street, facing North. There is another building behind us, and there is about a foot of space between the two structures. There is a small washroom in the SE corner, with a window. Since the view is of a cinder-block wall a foot away, the glass in the window is ordinary glass so you can enjoy the spectacular view. ;)

Nobody can see in, right? Click here to see the audience yesterday! :o

On some occasions there have been two, but yesterday just the one. First time we've been able to catch it in a photo.

This is the big mural I've just finished for DD's room.....she's got a thang fer zebras, so I told her there's no way in hell we're gonna get up close to one on a Kenyan safari - - this had to suffice..... . .

I have a thing for very tight, hyper-close-up compositions. I've drawn several portraits of old, haggard men's and women's faces, many of which are just an eye and part of a nose. DD finds some of these scary, and was worried that a huge close-up of a zebra head would freak her out when she's trying to get to sleep. We'll see. . . . . ...... :lol:

......and now my time here at Psillyville has come full circle. :rolleyes: This was my phirst post....

Hi, I've been silently popping in from time to time, but I just had to comment on this one. Try working in a middle school. The eigth-graders recently got done studying the solar system. You're right...and just SAYING Uranus never gets old to them :lol: But it's even worse now. They are studying genetics. With every new chapter, they always have vocabulary words to define and draw. The teacher had to make an exception for sexual and asexual reproduction :ph34r: Now the big HAHA in class is Homozygous :lol:

Lots happening around here. DD and her boyfriend, David have an apartment together. David has been working as a substitute teacher. He obviously won't be able to work over the summer, and the economy the way it is.......it'll be hard for him to find something. David is like family, and in hard times......you take care of your own. So hubby offered to let them live with us to save money. With snow days and holidays, it's been tough going for them, too....so they're going to move in next month.

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.
    • Scott Adams
      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
