Sooooozle's gonna paint sumphin'!! :)B)

The appearance of Sam Hill Manhead is mysterious indeed, and never has so much care been put into selecting an appropriate name :lol: Do ya think some woman who didn't appreciate what she had knocked 'im off 'is pedestal??

Crap, don't think we'll ever know for certain from which office in that building he was disposed.. ....... . . ..forget now- - he could be connected to a homosexual dating service, or the Burundian Embassy.....was there another embassy? Couple of dental clinics. . ......law firms. . . . .....

Such a mystery. . . . . . . ........... . . . :lol:

Oh man, I can so relate to that one. As a certified arachnophobic, as a teenager I snuck in after curfew to find this humongous spider on the wall above my bed.

Premonition hit and I walked (did NOT run, but uncalmly) into the bedroom and pulled the sweater off inside out and THERE HE WAS. I made sure I despatched him that time.

OMGGGGGGGG. ....... . . . ....that is truly shudder-worthy. . . ...... .

Particularly because I believe that big NZ spiders are, um, like big North American spiders on steroids. Are we talking the size of one's hand, Shroomie?... .Think I've heard this . ...... . . gawd, the size of my hand. . . . . . . .. . ..... :o:o

Good lord Em, why did ya give 'im away??

Why, indeed.. . . . . ....well, my girlfriend needed some protection, being a new single mother with two young kids, living alone. He has been perfect. She moves him around so that any psychopathic rapist peeking through her draped windows would think he is a real man, holding him quite high so anyone would think he is 6 foot 5.

She brings him upstairs, has him moving through the bedroom......... . . .perches him on the toilet and leans the newspaper in front of him for about an hour - - very convincing.. . . ........

:lol: Miss Em does not walk on the keyboard; she lies beside the computer, always likes to be close, but parks right in front of the screen so you can't see a thing (yeah, 15 lbs plus and takes up the whole screen) when she wants something (like dinner ) She's bossy too; herds us around when she thinks it's time for us to go to bed. Yeah, I'm missing her!

Mygawd, Shroomie, thought you was talking about ME! This, in fact, does sound quite like me, lying at the computer, bossy..........

Um, though I am NOT fifteen pounds. . . .....

Just got home from one of those fun celiac shopping trips. You know, tapioca flour, rice crackers, BC gluten free choco cake mix , veges. Like everybody buys. And I see Images of SHM! He is even more handsome and elegent in real life. I vow to spend the next 2 weeks trolling through parking garaged looking for my very own SHM. I will not eat, sleep, or drink (well, maybe a lttle) till I find him. I'll keep you posted on my search.

Hey all!!! I'm back. We went to Upstate NY to visit with family. So very nice to see every one, and of course, never enough time. But I'm a real home-body and have come to realize that WV IS home. So glad to be home! Been canning stuff from the garden....and fruit from the Farmers market. The more the better!

As I've been catching up..I see that the tone has gone back to psilly! :P So nice to see. Is it directly linked to the reapperance of Sam Hill? I got a real kick out of seeing him in the avatars again. I've missed him pseriously....he *is* one of us psillies.

Psuess!! So glad you are pheeling that paint-urge! Is a good sign...yes?

Pad-tay.......wanted to comment on your dream. You are looking for something (shopping), but sounds like you didn't find it. When you want to leave the store, all doors lead to *industry*. Are you feeling a need to find something to do? Some purpose, more than what you already have going on? A need to be busy with something? That's my guess!

Em-n-em....take care of the foot (it WAS you, wasn't it?). Hope you are fairing well, these days. So nice to see Bev-really, too. How are you feeling these days? Did you sell lots of pictures on-line?

Always enjoy seeing Mini-mom and Shroom-vroom! And of course....Pah-tay is like the glue that holds everyone together. (Kinda like my oldest sister holding the fam together....we call her Mother Hen!) :lol:

Hello to Ranger Soo-zan! Are you really a Ranger? I, too, love psilly/stupid humor! My first choice in any movie is for that type! This is a great place to be......even if I don't add anything and just "read up", psilly-villy often makes my day.

'Till later......hugs all 'round!

Darn210 Enthusiast
PADT!!! Sending some 'proper' (English) tea wiv Devil Child to make it (Tel's not pheeling up to the flight, but DC makes a mean cuppa!! :lol: )

Patti!!!! Don't fall for it!!!! She's trying to pawn DC off on you!!!!!

On the up side, I figure this whole body exfoliation woulda cost me a fortune at a spa. :mellow:

:lol::lol::lol:

Gah! Well, we must recruit Jyaghnutt, the creator of most of these amazing pictoral accounts of Sam's whereabouts. Hopefully she kept copies of the ones she made.....

JAHNUTTTT!

I believe I did . . . did I make one for you Jess?? I can't recall. I shall dig out me own toot sweet!!

And - OMG - I am feeling the urge to paint something - - a wee painting, or, use my phab watercoloUr pencils - don't tell anyone!!!!! It's been AGES!!!

Yeah!! Me too!!! I'm planning on painting Smackl's bedroom.

Retro psilly . . . lots of posting and Sam Hill is back!!

I forgot how much that guy got around.

:lol::lol: OMG.....was trying to remember how SHM was posed in Jyess's, avatar......and there he is!

We were just out for dinner with very intellectual, rather new friends.......they came to my dad's memorial, so discussion quickly gravitated that way. I began telling them about the incredible tree gift, and all o' you guys, and sure enough I was eventually speaking about SAM HILL MANHEAD.....The whole hilarious idea, this found effigy of mysterious origins, and how he took us all, and the entire site, as I recall, by storm......

They just stared at me. Politely, but just staring... .. ..... :huh::mellow::mellow::huh::mellow:

How exciting, Sooz! :D

I could nae ask for any assistance, so after searching all the bedclothes I quietly slid the bed out into the middle of the room, lifted all bedclothes clear of the floor, and laid awake in terror all night. Never did see the bugger again.

Oh gawd Shroomie--that's awful!!! You poor fing :(:D

You may have sumphin there, T. :)

You made mine, too :wub: And yea!! fer old school sillie! :D

Sills--I had the bestest evening :D :D We went to see "Julie and Julia", which was really good. There's one small scene where Juila meets in person a woman she has only corresponded with for 8 years and never met before face to face. They are dear friends, though--reminded me of me sillies :rolleyes:

Then we took a walk and stopped at Tommy Bahamas for a drink and later to Outback for dinner. Very cosmopolitan for me :lol:

- he could be connected to a homosexual dating service, or the Burundian Embassy....Couple of dental clinics. . ......law firms. . . . .....

If there was a law firm in da building dat would get my vote..Lotta strange peeps in those places, don't recognize treasures when dey find 'em; Burundians on de other hand are pretty straightforward...where is Burundi anyway?? :huh:

OMGGGGGGGG. ....... . . . ....that is truly shudder-worthy. . . ...... .

Nah, the size of New Zealand spiders is mostly mythical. There are some ginormous spiders on the West Coast of South Island, but the Coasters are a tough bunch and they can handle it. I have only seen a couple. But the giant wetas, now them's a different flavour and it ain't chocolate, I tell ya. About 2-1/2 inches long, as big around as my thumb (and I have a BIG one, two of them as a matter of fact) and the ugliest looking critters I have ever seen. And they are protected!! And they fly!!! But only at night :D And then there's the huhu beetles but you only see them in rotting wood; and the grubs are white and about the size of my index finger, but to the Maori they are a delicacy to be savoured. Every year on the West Coast they have a Wild Foods Festival, where it is possible to sample all these little delicacies prepared in a variety of ways, including bulls balls :o I do not go!! But New Zealand is a pretty benign place--no snakes (St. Patrick went there first), no poisonous spiders, no grizzly bears, no scorpions. Ya just have to watch out for the peeps :lol: :lol:

Why, indeed.. . . . . ....well, my girlfriend needed some protection, being a new single mother with two young kids, living alone. He has been perfect. She moves him around so that any psychopathic rapist peeking through her draped windows would think he is a real man, holding him quite high so anyone would think he is 6 foot 5.

Now that's a very satisfactory abode for Sam Hill Manhead; better than a mannikan in the car pool lane (which is not only illegal but you usually get caught at it too!

Mygawd, Shroomie, thought you was talking about ME! This, in fact, does sound quite like me, lying at the computer, bossy..........

Um, though I am NOT fifteen pounds. . . .....

Uhmm, 15 cat pounds equated to how many human pounds?? Ya know, like dog years... Mebbe I shoulda named her Shroomie

:lol::lol:

Psillie Jess!!!...gotta shake it out half way froo the drying on the line :rolleyes:

Methinks the psille is Nickerler; put washing in machine and when done in basket, carry out to clothes line; peg clothes on clothes line; keep a sharp eye out for frequent showers/rain; halfway through drying go out and shake sandpaper out of clothes; check several times to see if they is dry; if lucky, unpeg them and bring them in before it rains; then iron, and iron, and iron... The Brits sure do know how to make work out of washday. Heck, what's wrong with running the washer afore ye go to bed, get up in morning, toss in dryer and then get dressed in said clothes?? :unsure:

...and sure enough I was eventually speaking about SAM HILL MANHEAD.....The whole hilarious idea, this found effigy of mysterious origins, and how he took us all, and the entire site, as I recall, by storm......

Ja, sometimes you just had to have been there; does not translate well :lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

OH

MAH

GAH

:o:o:o

Sillies - - this is too long to explain but - - oh dear gawd - - I must write this out - - could well be up all night (despite clonepin) :blink::o

:o

the cops were here tonight - -

a guy followed me down the street into my driveway......on his bike - young kid, tall and rangy, dark, close-cropped hair, talking on cell phone, ignoring me but....standing right in my driveway.

I went down like this:

I pulled into my gated complex, and saw a kid on a bike, who, I noted, changed his direction and followed me. I parked in my garage, turned around, and he was stopped just off my driveway, talking on cell.

I looked at him, rather fiercely, and said: "do you need something."

he ignored me.

He spoke into the phone: "what the hell do you mean?" or summat like that.

and I said "what the hell do YOU mean?" :angry:

he finally made eye contact and said - "I am talking to the phone, not to you."

I closed the automatic garage door, walked into the house, but the door did not shut....rolled back up when it hit the bottom - I heard this from inside the house.

I went back out....checked for things in the way - there was nothing - I knew he was messing with me. I shut it again. Walked in. Went to front door.....and then...

heard what I thought was gunshots (as did the neighbors) on my garage door. Extremely loud, on the metal door.

dear gawd.....do you all remember how I've told you about my vigilante streak?????? :unsure: Well....the puffery of that was fully put into play.

so - after hearing the deafening shots or pounding or whatever........I IMMEDIATELY ran out the front door, screaming profanity at the top of my lungs, hurtling toward him:

"WHAT THE F**K DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, YOU BASTARD?????"

.....and screamed that phrase over and over, as I chased him, 20 feet behind, as fast as I ever have run in my life, in my bare feet and pajama bottoms (which I"d worn to Gail's), as he struggled to run with his bike and flip-flops. Very fast kid.

:huh:

So, I chased him all the way to the end of the street......I screamed "CALL 911!!" at the top of my lungs.....seven neighbors called :blink::lol:

so - at the gate - - he left his bike, and jumped over, into a cloud of dust (the lights reflected this), both shoes ditched on the street in the complex.

he jumped the gate and, I had his bike - so - I yelled

"I HAVE YOUR BIKE YOU LITTLE BA$TARD!!!!!!!"

part deux coming up - -

must.....settle......down.....

:blink:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

crap.....rather wound up here - -

Okay. So, he left his bike and ran out of the complex.....I am SURE he never expected that an old lady would give him this reaction. :huh:

By that time, 20 neighbors were out in the street and cops were on their way.

So, the kid actually ran back toward my house (but outside the complex) and JUMPED THE FENCE about four houses in from the gate......probably wanting his bike back. People were sitting in that back yard! So - - he ran out of their yard and onto the street (my street) toward my house....I screamed at my next-door-neighbor "SCOTT!!!! GET IN YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!" and, he did, later telling us that he nearly ran over the guy (I was too far down the street to know that the kid had come back into our complex).

So.......all the neighbors had heard the noise, and my cursing/screaming :ph34r: <I am SO embarrassed> and wanted to hear what happened, while we waited for the cops.

The cops thought something major had gone down, since so many peeps called 911

:ph34r::huh::blink:

So I explained to my neighbors - mumbling something about a strong genetic vigilante streak and being PISSED when people do something wrong or criminal - - do you think they think I"m bonkers????

cops got there, took my info - I BEGGED them to spend the night :lol: Said, I'm never askeert, but now I am! :( Have to close/lock all doors and windows.......

the finally said....."um, ma'am....not to.....um......minimize this or anything.......but, how would you like us to proceed with your garage door?" (there were surface dents, done by foot and fist pounding, we determined)

:lol: :lol:

then I said:

"is it a good bike? can I have it?" :lol: :lol: (I don't want it, but they would have given it to me)

So............it's all quiet now...........everyone's in bed......I am wound up........a bit psychotic....wondering if he'll get his posse and try to kill me during the night?????

:unsure:

:huh:

and one more :unsure:

dear gawd sills............I don't mind fightin' crime :lol: but I'm askeert, too

and

no one's here

:huh:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Emmel - yes - send Sam Hill down here TOUTE SUITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will leave him in front window.....different hats and such.....

and you know, I've been thinking about what I could have done differently (would have wrestled him to the ground had i gotten him and then given a stern lecture - put the fear o' the Holy Ghost into 'im, I would :lol: ) .....but I really can't control my reactions - just gut instinct all of my life - going after miscreants all by myself. Pisses me off, and they have NO RIGHT to do bad crap. :angry:

Once, at around midnight, I was on the phone, years ago and.....someone shone a flashlight into my living room window right on me (was living in a small guest house). I calmly put the phone down - "hold on a minute" - - got my flashlight, and ran outside yelling. Saw someone running off.......my friend on phone told me to call the cops.....so when the cops came, I was outside with flashlight, looking for evidence....

:lol: they did seem flummoxed and said, usually when we get a call from a single female about these things, she's not outside looking for the perp :lol:

Had a nekkid man flash himself in our kitchen window when I was in about sixth grade - my mom, little bro and I were in there at the time....'twas dark outside....my mom screamed hysterically, called cops......I, of course, ran outside w/ aluminum bat to get him :lol: :lol:

have got hundreds of these stories....nearly got meself kilt breaking up a party at 2 am, and NOT in a very good 'hood.....that was one of the other times I felt actual fear.....mexican hispanic women raisin' the hair on the back of me neck as I walked directly into their living room (music was too loud for them to hear me knock - EVERYONE had been calling the cops on their noise - to no avail)

I think I must purchase a small hand gun :unsure:

very tired - - must try and sleep now.........

Miscreants abound everywhere. Recently, hubby and I were taking a walk around the neighborhood. A couple of the pubescent type were keeping stride with us from across the street and started throwing rocks at Brian. He went after them with, "You want a piece of me?....Come on!!....I'm ready!!!"

They high-tailed it outta there but fast ;)

I was disappointed that I didn't get a chance to shame them and threaten to tell their Mammas that they were harrassing a one-legged guy. :P

Pretty lame if that's how you get your jollies. <_<

Wow Suze!!! Hope you don't see the punk again . . . how long until the cops let you have his bike? . . . and kids harassing Brian?? what is with people????

First four days of school are over. It looks like both kids have colds. I think this happened last year, too.

Shopping for chicken food??? . . . sounds like fun to me . . . I'm shopping for paint.

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.

      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
