The secret to ripping up carpet is to do it in 3-4 foot strips. It's so much more manageable that way ;)

:unsure: Yes, I do know about that part.....but then how do I dispose of it? and will anyone think I am.....disposing of a dead body???????????? :o:lol:

Sounds good! What color should the flags be?

they are multi-coloUred, with Care Bears!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I've made a few calls and a pulled a few strings and I've managed to get use of an old Open Original Shared Link. We will have to provide our own singer (the former Miss America has a previous committment) - I believe Emily was up for that. Plus, we will need to provide our own machine guns as the orginal float was never equipped with them.

I refuse to be the one that has to walk behind the yeti with the trash can and the giant pooper scooper.

Susie . . . Female Comebacks = :lol::lol::lol:

Also, time for a new av - this is the back of my daughter's head - of course, taken by my son so he could show her what her hair looks like back there.

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!

I have to tell you, I have been on c.com for nearly two years, and I have never, ever, ever laughed as I just did. I mean, a huge *WHOOP* and *GUFFAW* leading into a deep belly laugh that went on for nearly a full 60 seconds, and I am STILL LAUGHING as I see the words, and imagine other newcomers seeing this sentence:

Plus, we will need to provide our own machine guns as the orginal float was never equipped with them.

:huh:

I am quite serious when I say that I am STILL laughing, and tears are forming in the corners of my eyes....in fact Annie just arose from a deep and contented lazy-arse sleep and walked over, placing her head on my thigh. :huh:<------- Annie's face

I must thank you for the BEST laugh EVER on this forum.....(oops - EXCEPT for summer of 2006 w/ Cecile and all others and all shenanigans on OMG - :lol::ph34r: )

yeti poop scooper :lol:

Um BTW your son is a future film director I think. With his deranged yet wildly clever photos, and such superb syllabolic play as "burrito eater," there can be no doubt. :lol:

TriticusToxicum Explorer
:lol::o Thought about this option. The thing is, it involves meh...mmeh....measuring and cutting things to fit - you don't EVER want me doing that. :huh: I am sure I could enlist some help but dang, the thought of ripping out and getting rid of carpet is just beyond egregious and repugnant and really just WAY too taxing......

here's something.

Female Comebacks

Man: Is this seat empty?

Woman: Yes and this one will be if you sit down.

Man: So, what do you do for a living?

Woman: I'm a female impersonator.

Man: How do you like your eggs in the morning?

Woman: Unfertilized

Good stuff :P I've never heard any of them before :ph34r:

Now for something completely different...Open Original Shared Link funny, and yet

:huh:

This has been a public service announcement sponsored by the coalition for stalker-free internet. it's 1:45 do you know what you kids are up to? :huh:

Back to the sillies!

Yes, I do know about that part.....but then how do I dispose of it? and will anyone think I am.....disposing of a dead body????????????

...if they are 3' strips...not likely...a dismembered body perhaps :ph34r:

Janet, is that your daughter's REAL HAIR!!!??? I thought it was a wig! I'm going to have to print that out and take it to my hair stylist! I WANT IT! LOL

Patti, we need a twirler, do you still fit in your sequined leotard? How fun!

Susie, I think you could do the Pergo yourself. From what I've heard, it's pretty easy. We just put the old carpet out by the curb, but you might want to call the trash people and check. If someone thinks it's a body, they will be sadly disappointed once they check it out!

it is laminate flooring, quite good quality, that looks like wood floor. Very attractive, my mom had it in Monterey......quite dingo-proof, also. ;)

beyond egregious and repugnant and really just WAY too taxing......

"Repugnant"! A wonderful yet woefully underused word.

Female Comebacks

:lol: Saw one like this also.

But some faves of mine missing in your list are:

"Haven't we met before?"

"Yes, I'm the receptionist at the V.D. Clinic."

"I know how to please a woman."

"Then please leave me alone."

P.S. Ahhhh Pergo ... . .. I had just started choosing which style to put in my condo when celiac started taking over ... .. :(

Susie, surely we can use your old carpeting in our procession...is it a royal scarlet colour, suitable for rolling out in front of our King and Queen?

And whoa, guys....Care Bear Float, yes. Machine guns....welllll...uh...no. C'mon, ya think we got Mr. Heston as our Grand Marshall? sssshuuuddddder...

Ridgewalker Contributor

Hmm... I don't twirl anything... I only play CDs.... <_<

I have been in a couple parades, as a Girl Scout, and all I had to do was walk. Yeah, that's right... I was a Girl Scout!

Maybe I can make a big Celiac Awareness CareBear for the float. Bet I could do that ;) It'll be a green bear, and have the No Wheat symbol on it's belly!

Why yes, Emily, surely 'tis! :lol: In fact scarlet as well as royal purple, three-foot stripes each, adn there are Care Bears interwoven throughout, bearing regal crowns! now, why hadn't *I* thought of using this carpet for our parade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlton Heston. :lol: He can come if he's Celiac. But we'll need someone else there to lobby for the proper CONTROL of our machine guns.

Here ya go:

Tassels? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dlp252 Apprentice

Did someone say mojito?! Throw in some chocolates along the way and I'm there. :P

Green12 Enthusiast

What kind of crazy parade is this??

Machine guns, Care Bears, tassels and Charlton Heston??

Oh heck if chocolates are involved, I'm in.

Daughter-of-TheLight Apprentice
I most humbly accept until page 300 and will sit on the throne in my Yeti proof house. The only things I will command my subjects to do are as follows:

drink mojitos

drink vodka

drink champagne (Moet and Chandon Nectar Imperial!)

trample on trampolines

twirl tassles with bawdy debauchery (or in the men's cases do something wiith your ball bearings)

no pap smears

no testicular exams

and...

KEEP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Your loyal Queen Bev of the Order of the Twirling tassles

-.O

I'm a minor, your highness. All my beverages are Virgin... And I plan to keep it that way! The last one I will keep until... PAGE THREE HUNDRED!!! Or later, on whoever the queen is next. I was NEARLY the queen. if only i'd double-posted...

Daughter-of-TheLight Apprentice
Ahhh, the Kingdom doth prosper, and grow! Daughter of the Light, please come into our grand Processional Parade...I believe you would add much interest with your propensity for dancing. You could appear in the middle, performing your Danzon, or a merengue, which I noticed you mentioned in your last post. However, methinks you should be performing something more like a dirvish, as this all has a very Medieval feel to it. Hmmm....we could even have you on a large Carebear float, if you wish...

AND ALL HAIL OUR RIGHTEOUS QUEEN BEVERLY!

Nay to Papal Smeareths!

...and ALL balls bearing! :lol::lol:

Ohh, may I? And can I have a Lord Of the Rings float instead? And Can I have machine guns? (Maybe a Russian nine-pounder... hehehe) I can swing, tango, waltz, salsa, do the rose ceremony, danzon, merengue, line dance, square dance, and even do the electric slide and the cotton-eyed joe if you wish! I really need to get on here more. Then I can treat you to my... many book quotes? *giggles evilly*

tom Contributor
. . . And Can I have machine guns? (Maybe a Russian nine-pounder... hehehe)

Although it was pages ago that I called "shotgun" for whichever vehicle has machine-guns, I know in my heart that I must yield to DoTL. ;)

Not sure about the ammo procurement on a Russian gun. Maybe we could just shoot probiotics and magnesium capsules. And CANDY CORN!! Bet they fly well w/ the right rifling to provide good rotation.

Ridgewalker Contributor

ooooooh, candy corn! :P

HI JULIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, come on over and join our madness!!!!!!!

Your dancing is certainly allowed, Light. I AM starting to be a little concerned about the, uh, over-use of machine guns. :unsure:

Um, can we get a veto, Queen Bev?

Yes, surely we will dispense and hurl benign objects and lovely, happy candies and sugar-y treats. Every one will love us. And NO mojitos will be Virgin.

:lol:

      It is addictive. The dopamine hit I get from a sandwich after being gluten free for a while is insane and I immediately crave more. Maybe if I think of it more like an addiction I'll be able to beat it in the future.

      Undiagnosed Celiac Disease was your root cause.  As you heal and adress nutritional deficiencies you'll see lifetime symptoms disapear, some you don't even realize you have.     Until 1951 no one knew the cause.  Around 1900 it was also called "Infantilism", you outgrew it or died.  Dr Hass around 1920 was the first to come up with a treatment with close to 100% survival.  At 63 I followed his diet for a while and it helped me past the early stage of recovery.  Even then it was only considered a childhood disease, eventually the child outgrew it.  Once outgrown the child was reintroduced to wheat.  After that any symptoms that arose were attributed to whatever was popular, gall bladder, allergy, endometriosis, etc.  Often the final diagnosis is "we do not know the cause, it is just normal for some people, but we have medications that will treat your symptoms."   I was bloated, and always colicky.  When my son was born in 1976, my mother commented "You got what you gave."  I pointed out to my wife that he looked like a Biafra baby from the Biafra famine in 1970.  One of the first successful sales of modern wheat was to replace the rice the Biafran Aid Society supplied.  After searching the state where we lived (pop. 6 million) we found the one child gastroenterologist familiar with Celiac.  He only had 13 other children dianosed with the disease under his care and after several endoscopies my son was diagnosed, put on GFD and immediately thrived.  The doctor also suggested my wife and I also do gluten free.  We declined, not having any gastro problems.  That remains my only regret in my life. THE VALUE OF THE BANANA IN THE TREATMENT OF CELIAC DISEASE  Dr Hass' 1924 puplication with diet. There are over 300 symptoms related to celiac disease I believe that if you have the genes, you have Celiac Disease, but your immune system is strong enough to keep it subdued, or your symptoms are misdiagnosed as something not wheat.  Until something happens to weaken the immune system, and symptoms, often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated, until eventually you die, never knowing or you get lucky and end up eating gluten free.  To me it explains the late onset of acute symptoms, many are "just normal for you". Ever wonder why people get so angry if you suggest they may have Celiac Disease.  Wheat is a cultural and economic staple of our lives.  And it is addictive, it numbs our body.  Suddenly, gluten free, all the other irritants are no longer suppressed.

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.
    • trents
      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease. 
    • Waterdance
      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.
