Ptaum, I just have to point out . . . you thought I was bad!! I only had them reading the archives!! Emily is requiring a final exam!!

A bit harsh, I suppose, but this way we can weed out those who are not completely dedicated... :rolleyes:

Can we keep her???? :unsure::lol: ....steal her from other threads (you know once you get sucked in the Silly vortex there ain't alot of time for anything else ^_^ )

Hey, it's already happened! Colleen's supposed to be cleaning her kitchen...and look where she is....

"4 months vacation and five good leads......."

:lol:

and now we have a conundrum . . . what are we going to call Babinsky aka Donna#2? As you can see, we've already had a mix up . . .(sorry Donna#2, you don't actually get a say in this)

D2?

Babs?

Surely there's got to be something funnier than this?

Donna-CA won't do since both are in California . .. . . .

Donninsky? Hmmm I might have something tomorrow .. . . . .

. . . . Right now we're leaning more toward a cross between Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister and Robert Smith from The Cure. We think we can put this combo on MTV and make boatloads of money which we will use to buy lipgloss.

Hey! Nice pic 'Manda! I'm contemplating putting up a scary one of my unshaven self. Whiskers can get pretty looonnnng after a couple weeks.

Weird how simple neglect makes for such a different look.

And Bev! (Speaking of neglect) I meant to say I love the lil rock'n'roller in YOUR av!!

I'll go ahead and tell you two guys that there actually is an official entrance exam, an obligatory summative that you must complete. Some sample questions that you may face:

1. Do humans have anal glands?

2. Would it generally be considered a positive experience if one is teabagged by a friend? How about a stranger?

3. In the space provided, draw a flowchart depicting the process of yeti inseam measurement.

They get progressively more challenging....

Donna and Colleen- We like you guys so I'm giving you the answers.

1. Yes, but DO NOT squeeze them!

2. The answer to both is the same- only if he's REALLY REALLY REALLY good-looking and hygienic (example- Brett Favre, but not AFTER a game :P

3. Just draw something REALLY big

Shhh......don't tell Emily :ph34r:

Bloody Hell walking around on stumps, ain't it?

Richard would LOOOVVVVEEE this. You don't start a thread like this if you don't have a sense of humor. On groundhog day, Richard will pop his head above his computer at work and determine if he's got 6 more weeks of paper-shuffling before he can rejoin the thread.

I'm taking pre-emptive ibuprofen . . . and a shot of tequila!.

I can't take it anymore! I WANT TEQUILA AND VODKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ptaum- That's my 2 year old niece Roly Poly Coley (Nicole) playing Guitar Hero. She is a HOOT!!!!!!!!! The new one is my 3 year old nephew Cooper rocking out! We're working on forming the next Abba (yes- aLL my nieces and nephews are blonde!)

So things have been a strain on my marriage lately, work, money, and other things. Today John took the car to get an oil change and he came home with a bouquet of flowers for me. :) How sweet!

3. Just draw something REALLY big

Then furiously erase it. Then draw it again, slightly different, reflecting the changes Emily seems so fond of mentioning, then erase it again.

Repeat until the paper is sufficiently smudged and nearly torn.

Apparently, this process can lead to high praise.

Did you get ahhh...ladyscaped? That sounds much more perverse than manscaped....

Perverse!!??? I really don't think that's the right word. :P

Many 1 and 2 syllable words come to mind, but it's almost Sunday so I'm going w/ utilitarian :D:P

...Wonder how Erica's bettas are doing?...and that sleepover...wonder if she got Sharpied?...

HELLO SILLIES!!!!!! :D

let's see emily...

i'm really worried about my beta. last time i saw her before i left yesterday she looked fine, but i checked on her maybe an hour or two ago and she was on her side!!! well, not totally, kinda leaning, but now i'm really scared to look again. i really need to make my mom do it... guess i'll ask her as soon as i'm done posting. wish me lots of luck!!! :(

sleepover, HOORAY!!! I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my friend has a strobe light, and we plugged in that my other friends' iPods and starting singing at the top of our lungs!!!!!!! :D:lol: have any of you ever tried walking with other people walking in different directions with a strobe light flashing??? it is hard!!! oh but you know what's really scary?? if you're sitting down really low (my friend has a mattress on the floor in her basement) and someone that's standing up jumps at you with a strobe light going!! ahhhhhhhh!!! i screamed and put a pillow over my face!! :lol: hehe, no sharpies, not weird pranks :P and most of the time the food wasn't too big of a problem. the only times were when everybody was eating this apple-pie-sorta thingy that looked soooooooooo good but 1 of the ingredients was actually "vital wheat gluten" and when i ate nothing but a plate of chips for lunch until i got home. <_<

ooh, important question!! do i have to take the entrance exam, or have i been here long enough to be a full-blown silly?? :huh::unsure:

amanda you look AMAZING!! :D love ur new pic!!!

and.......... wait i had something else............ oh oh oh!! :lol:

colleen, i insist you post a picture of richard as soon as his makeover's done. ooh, and if someone happens to take a picture of the courier, that will also suffice :D oh even better!! we would like a constant flow of pictures of the makeover-in-progress :lol:

Hi Erica!

Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear the sleepover was fun. Once I slept at a friends house and they had a trampoline and we used to take the strobe lights out at night and jump on the Trampoline in the dark while listening to music. Good times.

I hate the term vital wheat gluten...it always makes it seem like if you dont have it bad things will happen...like Vital Signs or like Vital Supplies...LOL

..This is one of the questions on the entrance exam, so we cannot divulge the answer. Here's a hint, however: in about forty pages or so, it will become clearer... :huh::D

      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.
    • Jack Common
      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams

      My old results (almost a year ago) are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge.

I'm not IgA deficient as you can see so I don't need to do this Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG test. But I do because it's sometimes not in the normal range. What do you think this time? I think I don't have celiac disease. But this test...

      @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.
