I do not remember that little rhyme, but it brings up a question I have long pondered:

Why is there sometimes pee on the seat in a women's washroom stall? What is a woman doing that allows her to get urine (sometimes a fair amount) on the seat? Is she standing? Oracle Peter, do you know the answer to this? :D

:ph34r: :ph34r: To be honest, I usually "hover" when I use a public washroom and sometimes that results in a bit of sprinkling on the seat :ph34r: :ph34r: BUT . . . I honestly do usually clean any spray off before flushing. I think it started when I went to Grenada (edit: Grenada was nice, it was Guadeloupe that was a bit yucky) with my family when I was 10 or so and the washrooms were really gross and so I started squatting/hovering.

Ahhhh, a worthy question for Regis Philbin Peter. I'm waiting in anticipation for his answer.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT????????????? :o Omygaaaaaaawd, I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER in my life, sat on a public toilet seat, or almost any toilet seats, unless I am comfortable w/ the locale (my house, my mom's house, people w/ cleaning ladies, and people w/ no small children in the house :lol: )................ THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!! :o:o:o A serious phobia.....I am a squatter/hoverer - - you think those flimsy tissue thingys really PROTECT you from....from......someone else's anal gland residue?????????????? :blink::lol:

So yeah, there's usually pee on the seat after I've weed (Wiid?) - but I wipe it up EVERY time.......so I'm a considerate squatter. ;)

I hoover too....

then again, not only is their pee all over the seat but sometimes #2 everywhere too, like a Poo expolsion....eck! Women who pee on the seat and don't clean it repulse me....it's not like you have to aim...so what is your excuse for the mess?

WHO the heck's Phileas Fogg Regis Philbin?!?!?!?!?! :huh::lol:

OMG!!!....ALEX!!...(she looks such a sweet young thing in her av) ...and yet she single handedly sorted our Yeti's back end problem..........DAMN!! That girl must have a supersize nasal peg :unsure:

She is a Yeti whisperer

A wii (not to be confused with wee) was received by the youngest of my clan - I like the golf! ;)

Do you not think everyone will be bowled over by our fantastic witty repartee?? :o .......surely we are staggeringly hilarious to all?????????????????? :unsure: ........What does Julie mean ''our humoUr might be lost on some''??????.............they must have had a funny bypass or something.....

.......and yes Amanda...WHO ARE these women who sh#t all over the seat, floor etc?!?!?! :o (uggggghhhhh...public toilets - only EVER in a dire emergency :o )

jerseyangel Proficient
I know I have come close to piddling on the floor :)

:lol::lol:

Let's just say it was an interesting evening. The Yeti seemed very out of sorts when I picked him up at the train station yesterday. Lots of scooting and chasing his tail (does he have a tail??) and seeming quite uncomfortable. So I did what I had to do: put on some gloves, said a little prayer, and found myself to be very thankful that my mom taught me how to empty our poor puppy's anal glands that fateful day over a decade ago! Our yeti seemed much relieved and slept very peacefully last night. He's like a brand new (mystical, magical) man today!!!

OMG Alex--sounds like you jumped in with both feet--or should I say thumbs :P

Yes! deathly ill, and a multimillionaire...a dream catch! :lol:

.....with one foot on a banana peel ;)

:ph34r: :ph34r: To be honest, I usually "hover" when I use a public washroom and sometimes that results in a bit of sprinkling on the seat

I always line the seat with tons of toilet paper--have tried the squat, but peed down my leg :unsure:

WHO the heck's Phileas Fogg Regis Philbin?!?!?!?!?! :huh::lol:

He's a "fixture" on morning TV here. He has a talk/variety show that he has always hosted with a younger woman--lots of unscripted chat for the first 15 minutes or so.

He might be Peter.

...I dunno, guys...I'm a hoverer from a way back (bum cheeks do NOT hit seat EVER), but I've never considered hovering a reason to get wee on the seat...Whatsamaddah with you guys? You hover, way down low, a true squat with all weight in your heels, and you can maintain things about an inch from said seat. If it's a long pee, your quads could start to burn a bit. You blokes must be standing!

I think I need to become a consultant for this. :lol::lol::lol:

I used to be a hoverer but bad knees now (thanks for making me bring that up again). We engineers (in my case former) call it the toilet paper gasket when we line our seats.

I have an aversion to public bathrooms. I hate them so.

I would rather wee outside in the bushes than step foot in one.

Interestingly enough I also have an aversion to Regis Philbin.....I hope he isn't Peter :lol:

I am usually successful at keeping the seat dry.....but once, quite recently, I was in an URGENT pee mode - tons of wee :ph34r: - I was hovering and not paying attention.....in a shopping mall (well, in the bathroom of the mall, more correctly), and there was a woman and her toddler waiting to come in after me.....

imagine my horror when I looked down, and realized that my pee was somehow - do NOT ask me how :blink: - hitting outside of the bowl, down the front, with a thin but steady TRICKLE OF URINE, forming a direct, rapidly-increasing stream that went slowly OUTSIDE THE STALL and.....you guessed it - straight toward this pair waiting outside............. :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

So much better day today at work, got a great compliment from a woman at one of our cooperative groups we do some clinical trials through, says she always likes the data I send in, always good and if she says any clarification forms I send in are always answered very nicely. She says when she sees it is Amanda signing off the bottom she knows it is quality work....I was very happy. It was the sunshine in my rainy week.

TGIF....tomorrow

I think this weekend we are going to check out the PA Farm show.

OMG - Grey's - I don't even care either!!!!!!! I am SO not happy about McSteamy's new nurse girl.....not even interested in her! And Meredith is just so.....psycho....... I'm sick of them!!!!!

so I, also, am a loser. :lol:

What are you guys going to do at the farm show? I've considered going, but it's ONLY to check out the cowboys and farmers and ag guys. :lol:

Seeing how Amanda is newly married and her new husband will be WITH her . . . I strongly discourage checking out the cowboys, farmers, and ag guys . . . or at the very least, be sneaky about it. :ph34r:

Sillies I need to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I work with this nurse and she is so darn rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was having another good day (which after this week felt nice) I was a doubting myself on an upcoming lab submission schedules so I wanted to double check with her just to make sure nothing got missed...

She told me I was wasting her time with stupid questions which I should know the answers to...she said more things but now I cannot remember any thing more since I was so mad and deep down offended....All it takes is one thing to turn a good day into hell....

I have always butted heads with this person, I guess with some people that relationship will never exist and I believe this is the case. There should be a point where you put all things aside and say look past this and we have a job to do....

My other coworkers who all are aware of this problem have said I should talk to my supervisor about this but I am not sure where to start and even if it is a good idea.

Any suggestions on dealing with the rude?

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
    • Bev in Milw
      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products 
    • JForman
      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
