OMG (need green, puke face emoticon here)....

:huh:

I am sitting here, mindin' my own bidness, typing away (a rather dull prisoner) and the news is on in the background. The phrase "world's largest hairball" catches my attention..... :blink:

seems a barber somewhere in the US has been collecting hair for quite some time - they showed his giant hairball, in some kind of netting, taking up the entire back of a pickup truck..............

oh gawd - - I think I could hurl....................

Nice poetry Amanda!

Having a bit of a blah day here. (No Susie, not a triple blah, just blah). I have spent the whole stinkin' day waiting for the handyman guy to come. Now the kids will be getting off of the bus in about 20 minutes and I didn't get any errands run. Plus, I don't know what it is but I've been waking up every night at about 4:00am. Then it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half to get back to sleep . . . UGH!!

Sorry for the rant . . .

OK, you guys have stepped all around it (and *sniff*sniff* apparently someone has stepped in it). . . you've been talking about Target and IKEA and Jess wants a way to indulge herself . . . duuuhhhh, shopping!!! credit card debt!!!! come on, you guys can't see the forest for the trees!!!

Oh DEAR GOD Patti!!!!! :blink:

so......you're saying that Jess just needs, in order to live on the edge and do something reprobate and damaging, to just shop madly and put things on her credit card.......hmmmm....yes, this could work.

However, after hours and late at night, whilst sitting in one's pj's lamenting the day, I think knocking back a few is the most satisfying answer.

;)

In Patti's case, she could just NOT fold the laundry......leave it recklessly strewn all over the bed or something (as happens here).

The Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

1. You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the product increase as the shopper ascends the flights.

2. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Drop-Dead Good Looking and Help with Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it. Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and have a Strong Romantic Streak!

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes on to the sixth floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner also opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME

WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

I thought that I could love no other -- That is, until I met your

brother.

This one always cracks me up because I dated my hubby's brother about 10 years before I started seeing my (now ) hubby. Actually- it was our third anniversary on Tuesday!

OMG- Carla- MOST EXCELLENT HUMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it! My Uncle Ray will love it!

Gus and Allo and Annie and Jess's dog pic (how are the kitties?) are so cute. Do you all know about my secret love? Simon Kitty? He's 6 and weighs 20 pounds....biggest baby ever but I love, love, love him and Angus does too.....it's so funny. He love nibbles his legs.

I thought Simon would be horrified by a dog and never come out from under the bed but he loves Angus. I'll put up his pic.

And..... a little humoUr:

A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.

"I don't want to know," the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me."

Confused, the father asked what was wrong.

The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech.

At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech.

When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa' speech.

"If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for."

What a lovely big gentleman you have, Bev! Simon is lovely. We have two cats to distract Gus, and they are all rather hilarious together.

A picture of all of them together...now that would be a trick...

Wonder how Richard's painting went today. Wonder where Tom is. Hey! I really wonder if Bob got some lungs!

This JUST IN from Uncle Ray:

Fart Football

An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, "Seven Points."

His wife rolls over and says, "What in the world was that?" The old man replied, "It's fart football."

A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says "Touchdown, tie score."

After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, "Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7."

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, "Touchdown, tie score."

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says,"Field goal, I lead 17 to 14." Now the pressure is on the old man.

He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard. Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally poops in the bed.

The wife says, "What the heck was that?"

The old man says, "Half time, switch sides."

:lol: :lol:

Here is my grandpa's favourite joke:

A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "doctor, I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn`t bother me too much. My farts never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I`ve farted at least 20 times since I`ve been here in your office. You didn`t know I was farting because they don`t smell and are silent."

The doctor says,"I see, take these pills and come back to see me next week."

The next week the lady comes back and is terribly upset. "Doctor," she says, "I don`t know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts... Although still silent... stink terribly."

The doctor says, "Good!! Now that we`ve cleared up your sinuses, lets work on your hearing..."

My grandpa has a pretty juvenile sense of humour! He thinks he's pretty funny (and so do I :lol: )!

Since it's my job to check on Bob . . . just checked, no lungs. :(

Yes, I've been wondering about Tom, too. Haven't even seen him on. He's been packing (supposedly), so is he moving? movin' on up? to the east side? to a deluxe apartment in the sky?

And Richard's paintings? Abstract or Realism?

That's a nice BIG kitty you got there, BEV. He doesn't look like he would be afraid of a "little" dog like Angus.

Oh and the humour: :lol::lol::lol: All except for fart football that's :o EWWWW then :lol::lol:

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
