:lol::lol: (*snort*!!!)..... sometimes I think I was MORE sensible when I was fifteen :unsure: ..... I seem to be gettin' PSILLIER the older I get!! :ph34r:

That's one advantage to getting older!!! :lol::lol: You don't have to give a damn hoot about how you appear to people.....you're too old to be "shy" and don't embarass as easily. For myself, I have accepted the fact that I am never going to be a 1)beauty queen 2)klassy and so-fist-uh-kated 3)concerned with fashion 4)anyone but who I am ..... and if someone doesn't like it they can stuph it. I like me........just as I am (thank Gawd, I'm too tired, too old, too whatever to fix it now!!) :lol:

I, for one, am VERY glad for the silly psillies!

Alright. I've had a very long, difficult week. Came home late most days. This means I've got a weeks worth of dishes in the sink, and at least a cat's worth of fur all over my floor.

I expect to be scolded soundly if I'm here any time in the next two hours (and lightly reprimanded if I show up within three..).

Judy, just saw this post. I was thinking about you today and I'm so glad to hear you had a good appt. This doc sounds like a real winner, glad he took the time with you. Hopefully he will get to the bottom of things

You guys have me giggling over the Penis museums in Texas....because yes, natch, everything is so much bigger in Texas

Thanks Julie..starting a new abx to see if it helps...lets cross our fingers and toes. Told him the GI was 'gone' ;)

Hi all

sunny day here but chilly

Patti has a new assignment to hunt up the P nuseums in Tx.

HA bet Mark is happier in Texas as we all know things are bigger there.....as it's been said here before :o

Good Morning, Gang!

'Tis a day of laundry, of cleaning, of prep for DD's after-the-fact birthday party (nine fifteen-year-old girls descending - - hold me tight) . .. ....they will all squeeze into the ho'tub, shrieking and splashing. I think I will try to get in with them.

Need you here for my large laundry piles........sigh. . . . ..

God Em and Patti and Nikki and obsession with laundry.

I guess i need to go some where to get some clothes dirty other than 'garden dirt'

Mark's new favorite expression...... :lol:

I hear ya on the laundry, girlphriend.....I had all of our travelling laundry PLUS two weeks of dirty clothes from Mark's lil' corporate apartment...... <_< Someone's obviously never heard of a laundromat.....

me thinks you have a laundry fetish. :lol: yep what's a laundry mat.........my son calls from one on

Sundays.......... :( wish i could send him a set but can't hook up in the apt

I'm making some headway--the company sent a very nice girl over yesterday afternoon to help me unpack and get rid of the excess boxes and paper. That was a huge help, since I was all alone literally "boxed" into a corner :lol:

I have me Berk's on and me pheet are so happy :D

patty got a helper to help unpack...........you lucky duck........

and your Berk's on.............now those 2 events = HAPPY

Um - is it still morning, Sills? :unsure: methinks not......I got up early, starting watching a movie, went back to bed, slept until noon :ph34r:

It was delish

and.......I had this dream - OMG - - I moved into a very dark, depressing, and large house.....no fence for Weez and squirrels and raccoons running wild on the streets......filthy kitchen coated with sticky glutenized food remains on everything :huh: (this may have to do with the disgusting "wine glass" I was holding at a pub last night - they had none left as they'd all broken on St. Pat's day and so - it was actually a sticky water goblet :gag: ) Very ugly coloUrs and a depressing dark orange carpet........I was crying at living in this place in my dream....

but in this house, the prior owner had left really huge, large display objects I had to unload, and I was so overwhelmed at the thought of it that I cried....for example, a six-foot tall bottle of Harley Davidson wine :blink: Too heavy to carry and too rancid to drink, yet somehow I had to get all of this stuff out of there, or move, and the thought of both made me cry....

what does it mean? it this from the Phallus Museum? Or Padt moving to Texas? :lol:

Need Leesargh to do dream analysis for me :(

My fall back job, if grad school didn't work out, was always herding sheep in Wales..

:blink: was she serious about this? I could move to Wales, but no herding of sheep - too hard and cold

apt did go well. He gets me for sure. He'll write my 25 year history to give to a new Dr. Told him i fired the GI. Said she tested me for everything......no answers but all tests OK............anxiety it is........

Judith! is this good news or bad? wasn't sure what you meant exactly

TEA - goose poop! :lol: my gawd it is disgusting and copious......just keep yer shoes on whilst walking yer grounds

adn Padt's in Texas doing laundry with her Berks on!!!!!!!! Well now, why WOULD Mark clean his clothing when he had the Laundress Extraordinaire arriving to take care of it <_<

Jules with packing for two weeks for just two days - gawd, know it well *gulp*

HI NIKERLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emm - how's it going in the ho'but??? (<---- I just reversed the letters and decided to leave it :lol: ) Are ya hanging out w/ the 15-year-olds? dear gawd....I think you SHOULD put the crutch tip in there, and see if they pay any attention to it.....my guess is no one would give it a second thought.......so - I think you have to put summat in there that would just BOGGLE their wee minds :lol:what could it be???? The Man Head would have been good, only I believe he's staying wif yer friend?

I'm back from the store and I have ice cream AND potato chips.....full-sized bag.....it is highly possible I could finish a significant portion of both today.......am thinking of taking the chips over to Perfect Neighbor's house - - she will not be able to REMOTELY conceive of the idea of having no self control - - I do recall that one night, in a drunken party over here wiht a few friends (I think it was in the month of December, 2007), I rang her up to see if she had any chocolate or treats as......we could nae drive to the store. :ph34r:

She had bags of candy left over from Halloween.......... :o

Trying to think how this could possibly happen.....just can't get my wee dingo brain around it :lol:

But when I take care of her dog, I always see that there are many leftover, lingering bags of things (and bottles of wine) that she never touches.......

Yes, that infamous crutch-tip. I will have you all know that I told the entire crutch-tip-found-in-the-ho'tub story to the shuttle van driver that was working at our hotel in Toronto. Yep, the whole thing....how it was lying in the bottom of the tub after we drained it in the spring, and no crippled/disabled people anywhere near our house. . . . ....he was an older man, and just stared at me.

BUT, as he was driving us down Dundas Street, a lady with crutches crossed slowly in front of us.

"Hey", the driver suddenly piped up, "was it like one o' those tips?" And it was NOT - - these tips were BLACK, and the errant tip in my tub was BRICK-COLOURED, as you all recall. Our driver then began to argue that there has never been brick-coloUred crutch tips. :huh:

I mean, vehemently insisting, as if I were lying, or somehow coloUr-blind, or delusional.

Was he some crutch-tip afficionado?? So bizarre.....I kept insisting, and so did he. Nope. No such thing. Never has been.

He was SO certain, he actually had me second-guessing myself. .. . ...is it really brick-coloured? Is it more a dark brown, or grEY?

SO: I am emailing him a photo of my tip, as told him I would. It is SOOOOOO brick-coloUred.

Motre brick-coloUred than a brick, methinks.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Just wanted to highlight this passage again.......have put the things in red that reeeeeeeeeeeeeelly make me larph and larph :lol: :lol: x 100

Thanks, Bunny, but I've tried just about everything. Dried blood, check. Moth balls, check. Irish Spring soap, check. Human hair....check. Very expensive Liquid Fence....several times....the smell makes me want to barf, and it lingers a while, but does NOT last for 3 months. The deer just laugh and munch away. I can't afford to spend that kind of money for weekly spraying of an acre of gardens. I have not yet coerced Telehubby to mark his territory. I know it works for skunks and other pests, but I'm not sure it'd work for deer. Just think of the VOLUME we'd need! Besides that, I'm playing in the dirt almost daily from spring until snowfall.....can't say I like the idea of handling THAT! :lol::lol:

I'll keep researching and trying stuff. Who knows? I will NOT put up an 8' fence around the property (would look kinda tacky, and rob me of much needed light), and I really don't want to put mini fences around all of my plants.....One of these days a real brainstorm will hit me, hopefully not a lightning bolt.

Forgot to mention that my neighbors have dogs.....3 of them. They do have a fence around the back yard for the dogs to play, and they have gardens (and birdfeeders.....so lucky to have them for my neighbors!). The deer do jump over their fence and snak on those plants.....even with dog urine and feces about. Apparently that does not deter them either.

*SNRKxzzzz*...Bunny! I can't really picture me squatting here and there in the yard to pee! It would have to be when its dark....and it's still so cold I would not even be able to! (Maybe in the summer :D ). The old bladder would just shut down...."uh uh baby...it's frikken kold out here" :D:D

I certainly am not modest, would pee all over yer yard. ;) Just pay for me plane ticket, I'll give you a week's worth of wee. would that be cheaper than sprayin that expensive stuff all over yer yard??? You just need to feed and house me, with one dingo and one Kitteh :wub: We are very charming and will provide you with tons of entertainment. And Weezee LOVES her some deer, saw them at our friends' house in Monterey phrequently.....

So my crappy day at work culminated on Thursday with me sitting in my boss's office legs and arms crossed, pouty-mad expression on my face half whining, half complaining about having to work with that horrible female in the other room.

Today I started wondering what it would be like to work in a place where people don't have hissy fits, make unreasonable demands, and have to be cajoled into collaborating with a coworker. :lol: :lol:

I fantasize that that's what the real world is like....

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
    • Scott Adams
      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb
