well now that IS true - southern France is on the med. So, Bev is perhaps Southern French. My French ancestors, surname of Michel, were Huguenots - crazy French protestants, right? I"ll have to research more. Have always had a curious vigilante streak adn a strong sense of justice....did I tell y'all that my great-great-great- and maybe one more great uncles were the Garrett Brothers (for our friend across the pond, Sheriff Pat Garrett hunted down and killed Billy the Kidd, famous Wild West outlaw). :D

Wow- now that's cool!

GONE mad?? Jess I think we were mad to begin with............;)
That was clear from page 1 and it's ALL Richard's fault!

Black Irish is HOT. ;) And bev, you are the hottest one on here. Also the coloring of Michael Douglas's wife, what's-her name, oh yeah, CAtherine Zeta Jones.....although she is Welsh and would flog me. :ph34r:

It's definitely interesting. I first heard about it in The Secret of Roan Inish (if you haven't seen this movie, it's SO beautiful!) The Black Irish are supposed to not only be dark in color, but have dark personalities :ph34r: And Lord knows, I have a DARK side. CZJ is gorgeous. Susie- I'm blushing at your complliment :rolleyes:

Now go watch The Secret of Roan Inish. I want to be a selkie! :D

oh my gosh, I have seen that movie.....it was wonderful. Mysterious and quiet and beautiful and haunting. I can't remember what a selkie was, though.

what am I doing here? ugh, dreading going to work today and procrastinating. I was never given my schedule for this week, assumed I was going in at 11 or 12 today, so I called them last night, she tells me 9:30 a.m. BAH!!! "the hell you say!" :lol: I almost blurted out, laughing. Not busting my arse to get in there. :angry:

I need a job like Richard's, where you can play on the computer for 9 months of the year.................I seriously can't stand on my feet on concrete for 8 hours a day......

Hmm. I may be a "Black Irish" as well. Dark brown hair, brown eyes, white white white, but turn a darker shade of pale in summer. AND, my maiden name was Farrell. (No relation to Colin...that I'm aware of, so don't ask for intros.) It used to be O'Farrell but was dropped a few generations ago upon arriving in Nova Scotia. Too ethnic.

Don't ask me how I got two little blue-grey eyed blondies. Recessive genes are weird. Or my 1 dark hair/dark eyes gene wasn't enough to overpower the genes from my mom or my husband's whole family.

well darn it Linda, I WAS going to ask you for a date with Colin! :P

Er, yes...thankyou Susie...my American history is sketchy...but I am fascinated by everyones heritage.

Been thinking about trying to trace my family tree .

I quizzed my Mum today

She said her Paternal Grandmother was French (Northern France) and Paternal Grandfather was German (Hamburg)

Apparently my Grandad's original surname was' Schmidt', but had to change it to 'Smith' living in England during WWII!!

No info on her Mothers side as she left when she was a baby <_<

My Dad's Scottish/English

Hmmmm a mixed bag indeed!!! - I am a mongrel!! :lol:

GONE mad?? Jess I think we were mad to begin with............;)
You don't have to be mad to come here, but it does help :blink:

CAtherine Zeta Jones....

I think Terry (hubby) would like me to wake up as her - or see CZJ in a kilt...I'm not sure which he'd prefer :unsure:

He's had a thing for her for a long time!! :lol:

I hope that's before her awful plastic surgery!

Yuck. I will NOT SLEEP tonight. <_<

There was a day that I dreamt of her swimming upstream to me...er...now I might need to throw her back :(

Susie Q- A selkie is....Open Original Shared Link

Remember in Roan Inish one of their ancestors had a selkie for a wife?

OK- I NEED a good laugh and then I (kind of) had one. Gallows humor follows.

So I see my physiatrist today- the guy I see for my muscle/arthritis problem. Well, I tell him that my right armpit is tender so he checks it and says it might be a lymph node or a lump (right boob) and to make an appt ASAP with my OB/Gyn.

So... I call and this is the coversation:

"Hi, this is me. Dr. Doolittle (alias) did my baseline mammogram and today my physiatrist found a lump in my right armpit so he wants me to have it checked out ASAP."

"Your podiatrist?"

I burst out laughing and say" No, PHYSIATRIST, musculo-skeletal doctor"

"Oh dear God, I was going to ask you what your foot doctor was doing looking for lumps in your breast!"

Me still laughing...

"Yeah, uhm...that would be odd. He's a very special doctor :lol: :lol: I was afarid you were going to think I said PSYCHIATRIST which would be REALLY suspect" :ph34r:

We both could NOT stop laughing for the rest of the conversation. It will henceforth be referred to as my "laughing lump" and yes, I will let you know what happens. My appt is at 9 am tomorrow (Susie- you'll still be snoozing!).

I looked it up the first time you mentioned going to one ... that was when I was still trying to find out what was wrong and this was a doc I had never heard of. :) Must be working out for you, which is great!!

diane Lane IS hot, but that movie - - - it was a stinker! But Bev is right, Under the Tuscan Sun was fabulous - - I remember I went purposely alone to see it, so I could soak in eveyr minute.....I cried....wondered if I'd ever go to Italy again. *sniff* :huh:

BEV - - - oh dear Gawd that story was incredibly funny!! *snort* :lol: but yes, keep us posted. I had the same thing a few years ago, really tender armpit but with a noticeable lump - - - was just a big ol' giant cyst or something that went away on its own. (I did go to doctor and he could tell right away what it was.)

I am in a cranky pisser of a mood, wonder WHEN this will pass. Dang, R's best friend came into work today, adn we chatted about that..............holy cow, will I EVER be done with this??????????? :angry::huh:

Nikki, we're ALL mongrels!

the girls are staring, they do not like it when mommy's gone all day. Must see what they need.

Heidi-Ho!

Just got back. Looks like a cyst but I get to have my mammies-grammed and an ultrasound next week. I'm not too worried. Just wanted to let you know.

Sorry if that's too much info Richard, but i shall continue my tassle twirling ways until further notice :D

Glad it was just a cyst!

You need battery operated tassels then! Ironically, I tried to google them, but all the sites that came up were in the UK.

Nikki- any comment? :P :P :P

Jestgar Rising Star

The battery operated ones are in the UK? Or ALL the tassel sites?

What do they do over there anyway?

maybe you should contact VS with an idea for a new and improved (read: "high end") product - inserts with integrated self powered (with "Open Original Shared Link") tassels. The tassels would get their charge from the natural undulations of the female form :rolleyes::ph34r: in the summer one could swap out the tassels for mini fan blades, and - L :blink::blink: K OUT! instant personal (very) temperature control!

I've probably just ruined any chance of profiting from this marvelous invention by revealing it in this public forum, oh well B)

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Quick!!! Richard - you must apply for a patent IMMEDIATELY!!!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

oh dear Loooooooooooord!! :lol: Both excellent ideas......but poses the question, DOES SIZE MATTER in these cases? :huh::lol: Because if so, then I am in trouble.....I just don't see these mamm-o's able to produce the energy required for such.....activity.

I always seem to stumble in here during the most interesting discussions! :lol:

That's the beauty of the system. (again, I'm divulging too many trade secrets here...) Since the power plant, if you will, is located in the falsie the oscillation of the falsie is what powers the system. So the bigger the falsie, the more wattage = more twirlage. However, I wouldn't go TOO big, as you might need to apply for a pilots license :blink:

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten
    • KimMS

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
