I wish I could understand what it is with boys and their toys!!! Grow up already

:rolleyes:

The WIFE is worse. Her truck is louder, her mouth bigger, her gut and arse fatter and her language saltier.

When they moved in, she told me "we ain't having kids", so no worries about " them runnin around "...(good to know they aren't passing on those genes, I guess?) meanwhile, they have tons of "kids" here are the time, only they are in the 20s and 30's, "seasonally employed" or on workmen's comp and drinking beer all day.

How do they afford those toys, I wonder.....

anyhoo. 'nuff about those varmints!!....it's quiet right now and we'll take it!! :)

And perhaps this is the key to getting rid of them? Perhaps they are doing a bit of farming?

Thought of that ---but he claims he found plants on the land adjacent to ours and pulled them all out. I dunno. he's WIRED like a madman. Very hot tempered and eyes buggin out.

Oh well, we're getting too old for all this work. Florida looks good.... B)

HEY NOW! :o

We don't want those miscreants around here! It is quite tranquil around here, thank you very much <_<

If they're selling/using drugs, it's something they're cooking, not growing. I never met anyone who got 'cranked up' on weed. I mean really.....

Gawd, sounds like a bloody nightmare, Irish... .. . ..yep, a planned, virulent virus to cull THAT herd is in order.....need to get some agricultural scientists on this.....

.. .. ....Or the FBI? CIA?.... . .....

No, sorry I was not clear. What I meant was...he is very vocal AGAINST the use of drugs. Claims he found some major pot plants in the acreage next to ours and "we can't have that kind of thing around here" blah blah bluster bluster

I never met anyone who was cranked up on weed either. :lol:

And I do not think he's got a meth lab going over there.

We've got the only one on the road.

(just kidding--to see if anyone really reads closely what I write)

I know he is not using anything.

He's like a "militia" type, lotsa guns, paranoid, racist and VERY high strung.

Maybe he has a gluten problem.... :lol:

I think you should print out some info on Celiac and go over it with him! What a wonderful way to help your neighbor!

If'n his dog don't knock me down and eat my arm (BUCK is a 150 lb. mastiff with a head the size of a basketball ), I may have a chance to get up the driveway....

If that's how he is without being on anything, just imagine if he were - on something, I mean :unsure:

Sounds like some weed is in order!

Thaat's kinda wierd, though... The New England paranoid militia types tend to be very reserved and withdrawn... definitely not the ATV type. Maybe that's because they're surrounded by liberals up here.... :D

yes, I wish he WOULD chill out with a doob. Maybe he'd calm the hell down. :lol:

Oh no, I am in NY now. This kid was raised "down South" somewhere, he tells us, but he's a native NOO YAWKAH.

he reminds me of someone who has taken waaaaay too many hits of speed, drank 6 cups of coffee, some red bull and ate 8 donuts.

Verrrry chatty, loud talker, veins pop out in his forehead, eyes bug out.

OMG.. ...that dog is unbelievable. Such training....incredible.

It could very well be just me on this one -- but does anyone else find it......kind of.... . .. . ...sick?...Or perhaps creepy?...... . .. :unsure:.. . ..I dunno....it's amazing, but at the same time......dog in a dress, sexy dance partnering.. . . .....:unsure:.. . ....

Bah, I'm a party pooper. And I would love them as neighboUrs.....

IrishHeart Veteran

Em, eeyup....I found the "outfit" a little disturbing myself (as I do not think dogs like to wear humiliating clothing :rolleyes: )

but maybe she likes it and it makes her happy (recall my Mom's expression?) :lol: She looks pretty happy. My dog would have ripped that thing off with her teeth in about 5 seconds. :lol:

Hats, scarves, that sort of thing? uh uh...Gracie did not find those amusing.

JNBunnie1 Community Regular

You know, I was at a wedding on Saturday and the groom's dog (who is ADDICTED to fetch the way humans are addicted to meth) was following people around on the dance floor the whole time with a dirty stick trying to get someone to play fetch. I have to say I prefer this!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I bet this guy started this when HIS dog wouldn't get off the dance floor!! Doggie's obviously having a blast! How fun!

Amazing animal. Almost seems like the dog memorized that whole dance sequence. Deffo going to share this one.

YES! Her skirt blowin' up, and all.. . . .... :lol:

Quite true, that bright retriever looks SO happy -- someone giving her a challenging mental job to do.. . . ...and her tail never stops wagging.

Perhaps she was, in fact, consulted on the outfit. But I dunno -- goldies are very intelligent.....can't imagine she would ever have okayed a tacky little frock like that....

:rolleyes:

IrishHeart Veteran

She is so clever and talented, perhaps she even made it herself!!

I said this to hubs and mentioned how he also has paranoia, insomnia, and anxiety...but hubs said "um, take it easy, you see celiacs everywhere"....I said "Because they ARE everywhere."

it's true, I do...like that little boy in the movies who sees dead people? :ph34r:

Nope, that would have been her border collie BFF.....

I SO hear you on that, Irish.. . ...I must interrupt two or three overheard conversations a week, mostly in the gym changing room or after a class, as I listen to people describing all of their celiac symptoms to one another, completely baffled and sick... . . .....

Hey, we can do this -- one celiac at a time! ;)

eeyup !!!that deer in the headlight look that says "I have gluten head and I don't even know it"

So far, our Dental hygenist, our Vet, my PT/MT, my friend in Cali and her son, my mom and one cousin have come into the fold.... :lol: the rest of my AI-disease filled family? "BAH! they don't wanna hear it!!!"

mushroom Proficient

I have a friend whose spouse thinks diarrhea is "normal", who has peripheral neuropathy, who has had a couple of seizures, who has GERD, who is low on B12, who is skinny as a rail and who thinks I am really weird because I don't eat gluten. :huh:

Silly girl. Food has nothing to do with health. <_<

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
    • trents
      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.
    • knitty kitty
      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
