Emily . . . Happy Birthday . . . Hope you have some great plans for today. :D

Where were you last nigt? I thought I would see you swoop in for the last second post. Now you will have to wait another 100 pages . . .

Amanda, sure hope Lucky gets along with your new yeti. I know you slept in your tiara last night and you have a death grip on your new sceptor. Keep in mind if you damage them in any way during your reign, you will have to use your own money (probably from people giving you money at your wedding hoping you will buy a nice juicer) to have it repaired. And don't let the yeti get ahold of it. He will use the sceptor as a chew toy. Yeti teeth marks on the sceptor are not acceptable.

Tom . . . GE Aircraft Engines (don't worry, I worked mostly military projects so the safety of the general public is still intact, well . . . as much as it ever was I guess) and Ford and Rolls Royce (not cars, jet engines again)

You guys inspire and incite me... :):):)

A Thousand Thank Yous for noting my birthday. I'm so glad I have young kids, otherwise I would just grumble my way through the rest of them, trying to ignore the relentless passage of time. Cannot do that with children--they put HUGE circles around it on every calendar, force DH to arrange a big dinner, and on and on. I wish I had a deep, resonating quote about the passage of time, and how somehow poignant and beautiful that is. But nope, got nothin'. Will be seeing my dad today, and if he is still in Dalai persona, he will have something for me.

I cannot believe you crazies were online till the wee, WEE (read: not Nikki's wee) hours last night! The Fair Queen Amanda--you have a great deal on your plate now, but as your royal subjects, we're here to do your bidding. Your name means "much loved", so a perfect coronation. As I was reading through the posts, and got closer and closer to page 300, the tension and suspense were electric.

Off to do birthday things....

"I could while away the hours,

And smell the pretty flowers....

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!!

Good Morning All! Boy the wind was strong here last night.

I believe Lucky will be ok with the Yeti as long as the Yeti pays attention to him. Lucky is a people cat, I actually think he needs people interaction or he gets loony.

You can be one of my princesses and back-up queen in case I cannot serve. I will need someone to watch the kingdom the next two weekends. I must get married the next and the one after I will be honeymooning.

OMG wth am I doing waking up @ FIVE!! ^_^

And why does Ed Begley Jr have a solar-powered pumpkin??! :blink:

(Hmmmmm until harvest they're ALL solar-powered!? :o "pumpkin" sounds funnier than "jack-o-lantern" tho)

i am my pod.

my pod is me.

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

Take special care of your pointy belled slippers . . . Moves can be rough on your most precious items. Maybe they shouldn't be packed away. Maybe they should go in the car with your other special items like the photo of all of us together except for BEV who left me out of that last party, and then tried to cover it up by implying I didn't remember being there . . . not like I'm trying to get even or anything. <_< . . . :lol::lol:

A new Queen was crowned whilst I slept!!! (sneaky)

All hail Queen Amanda!!! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY !!!!! :lol:

...must catch up on posts...but isn't it weird that the board lets you write wanker (love that word!! :lol: ) but not sh#t ??? :blink: ...the 'W' word is a much stronger profanity here in Blighty.

Carry on :D ......

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

Sarah Sarah Sarah <shakes head> . . . .this may sound harsh but it's for your own good. (Adrian Monk would say "You'll thank me later")

Upstairs we go .. . ... .it's time to let go of the nostalgia and properly dispose of all your hard socks.

Oooooooooo! LOUD and Powerful has some sort of instinctual appeal for the male human, and probably male Yetis too.

Ever see one blow up in testing? :lol:

Reminds me of my couple yrs at UL, where we'd have to see what it took to make a product become unsafe.

I had crowds gather while making portable bathtub-type jacuzzi units burst into flame. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Not 'wee')

Sure they're rated for 120V, but the fun really starts at over 250V, when you make the motor seize. (Is it cease? Gah it's early!)

To wee in the jacuzzi is definitely a no-no. Especially when you have crowds gathered.

One leads to the other, doesn't it?

Never saw a jet engine blow up in person, but I didn't have too much to do with testing. Only had an occassional test to sit in on and when everything goes as planned, it's usually quite boring. I did get to crawl up the tail pipe of a B1 Bomber though, I can still hear my boss saying "Janet, you're wearing jeans, crawl up there and see if you can see any damage." And me thinking, nobody's in the cockpit are they . . . who has the keys to this thing? :ph34r:

Oh...I knew I forgot someone :( :( :( (I was trying to back pedal) so I must humbly ask your forgiveness. I could blame it on Lyme, or being blonde (ah...but I'm not blonde) so I bow before you as former Queen Bev and ask you to forgive me. In fact, you should be the Royal Court Party Planner so it NEVER happens again. I knew I should have just forgot Richard 'cuz he's always painting something :P

As the former Queen, and now princess (I think, right?) LET'S PLAN A BIG 'OL PARTY!

After Queen Amanda comes back from honeymoon of course- wait, don't we have to go on her honeymoon as her ladies in waiting????????????

And THIS little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home, leaving a moist trail too easily followed by even the most inept of predators.

BACON!!! (loudly, as in some doggie-treat comm'l)

BACON!!!

(Dingy? Ever have that BLT?)

"I could while away the hours,

Oh what a quandry - so reluctant to correct an esteemed member on her birthday! :ph34r:

So I'm stuck asking the group to remind me toMORRow to say I believe it's "conferrin' w/ the flowers".

I thank you in advance for your cooperation. :P:lol:

RIGHT YOU ARE, TOM! Gawd, how could I have made this error?? Actually, it's worse than that: I made TWO errors....Bert Lahr did NOT sing those lines. Ray Bolger did. It's the age thing! Not as sharp, memories blurring...stupid birthdays!

I'm afraid there's no denyin',

I'm just a dandelion,

A fate I don't deserve,(or desoive),

I'd be brave as a blizzard,

(Tin Man) I'd be gentle as a lizard,

(Scarecrow) I'd be smart as a gizzard,

(Dorothy) If the wizard...is a wizard...who will serve.

Beautiful stuff! Nobody writes 'em like that anymore...This is my happy place. :):)

And a BEAUTIFUL poem, Bev! That is a GREAT birthday present.

elye Community Regular

...Er....Smart as a gizzard? :huh:

We are heading to Cape May for our honeymoon, all in favor of joining raise your hands.

Our suite comes with a hottub so we will be right at home. I am making sure the Yeti is all primped for the occasion as well.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.
    • Scott Adams
      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.  
    • pdm1981
      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.
