Dare to be Royal!!

Did you want to wear a tiara, Tom? I can't help thinking that Emily is waiting anonymously in the background to take us to page 300.

Just to warn you, I will not be posting first on 300 so don't ask me any questions . . . I will plead the 5th.

At first I'm like "how'd I miss this?", then I see it was the dreaded simultaneous posting! :o

Tom, did I read (a long ways back) that you are an engineer?

Me 'n' Choo-Choo Charlie!!

<shukka-shukka . . .. shukka-shukka . . .. >

I guess I can't really even say what I am NOW, but I WAS a Silicon Valley Elec Engr for ~ a dozen yrs. Hmmm one job offer is to be tha again so maybe I am.

I just want to make sure that I am not the Queen of page 300. I don't want to wear any stinkin' tiara. And being in charge of two kids is enough for me. I don't want to have to rule the likes of this lot! :angry::huh::lol::lol:

We can wash the tiara!!!

<is that a dig at our current [OOPS! Former!] queen's hygiene?>

See, I figger we got a King already, so I'm not even eligible for ascension to a TOP spot. It's gonna be you Janet.

Don't even try to 'superweasel' your way out of it.

All hail the New QUEEN AMANDA!!!

(sheesh we were 3 or 4 posts away when I started my last reply. I wondered if someone was broadbanding their way into making me be on p300.)

And yes Janet, I was trying to ask a question or otherwise get a response LOL

It didn't start out that way but . . . OK, sure!

Definitely unpeeled (seedless and red).

Why thank you :)

I think Richard would also make a good jester. Maybe he could be the court artist/photographer.

I will need a king too

No no annnnnnnnnnnd .. . . .no.

I wonder in our motley crew is most likely to be able to juggle . .. .. ..hmmmmm that's a toughie.

I CAN, however, wiggle my ears, if it pleases the Queen to have lobes-in-motion on Her Majesty's Royal Saxophonist.

<uh oh! no promises . . .never tried to do both at the same time. maybe the wigglin' is only 'tween licks. (Take that any way u like :P )

Just don't forget how sensitive they can be. Nor the ruckus he'll create if he feels slighted.

So PLEASE!! I implore you . .. . .when the dancing begins do NOT think about the fact you know the steps so much better than he. Whether a waltz or a tango, or some nondescript unworthy-of-a-name slow shuffle . .. . LET THE YETI LEAD!!!!!! :P

Sarah said she was knee-deep in sheets. (At the time, I thought she said sh!t and was cleaning up doggy-doo but now I know different).

Haha! No that was last week, and it was Ezra poo! <_<

I want to be in the court too! I can wiggle one ear- the right one. I can't do the left one though.

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

We went to an anniversary/Halloween party at my best friend's house tonight, and got home laaaate. I ran around in high-heeled boots all night and my feet are now saying, "Uh. And what were you thinking? You're going to pay now, for at least 24 hours."

Got home at about 1 am, and first carried in sleeping Ezra (up the steps) and put him to bed. Went back, got sleeping Lucas, carried him in, put him to bed. Went back, got leftover food, carried that in. Went back, told my sleeping husband I was NOT carrying his butt in. Came in, took the dog out. Put away said leftovers.

Now I happily have on jammies and soft socks, and I'm watching John Carpenter's The Fog. :D

I musta missed replying to this while off looking for those old pointy bell-enhanced slippers!

Tell me more!!

Work for anyone I may have heard of?

I spent a summer at Sperry right when it was acquired by Honeywell, working on TCAS, the Traffic Collision Avoidance System for comm'l airliners. (I kinda did squat, actually :lol: )

Uh-oh I should be asleep already. <8 hrs until my Pod-loaders arrive! <which was the sleepy emo?>

      New Study Reveals Hidden Gut Damage in Celiac Disease—Even Without Gluten (+Video)

      After reading the study on Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease I stopped eating processed foods that have milk as an ingredient. Though Gluten Free, "in a fraction of coeliac patients, Cows Milk protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge". After three months my lower belly...

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.
