Would we even smile if the Three Stooges' eye-pokings and head-smackings were done slowly, methodically? Nope. (Hmmmmm...perhaps a bad example. Who really finds those old routines funny at all?) :rolleyes:

Sometimes I kinda do :ph34r::lol:

My 23 year old loves this stuff and many Sunday mornings the Stooges are on in the background as I make the pancakes :P

And I find myself laughing..... :unsure:

Morning Sillies,

I am home....and feeling crappy!

Hey, Amanda! You're feeling happy, so you must be better. Great! :) How's John?

:huh::blink::huh:

HUH????

Did anybody else wonder about this??

:lol::lol:

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

sorry Emily I am not too happy. I feel horrible, it is like a stomach bug and nothing helps :)

Patti you are right I am glad I stayed home and the roads are getting slick already.

elye Community Regular

Oh, duuuuuhhhhh.....

Yeah, misread the "crappy" for "happy". So you're still not well, Amanda. :(

Janet didn't get the Tamiflu to you fast enough....

I've arranged for DD's hockey team to do a cross-training session in the Y pool tonight. Should be quite funny, all these thirteen-year old girls thinking, "Oh, how sappy...floating around a pool", and then watching them stagger out after this killer of a resistance workout. My girlfriend teaches this kick-boxing aerobics class in the water. It is not for the faint of heart, so hopefully it'll smarten up these teeny-boppers. I'll be in there with 'em, so I hope to change their view of me as just one of the army of hockey moms....

But OMG...remember the last time I was showing off in front of a bunch of kids. Well....I cannot get a huge bruise in the water. However, I can drown.... :blink::lol:

Well for heaven's sake--put on your water wings! :P

By saying "water wings"...does that make me sound old? :unsure:

If you don't want water wings you can always get one of those inner tubes with the seats in the middle so the kiddies don't fall through :)

EVERYONE!!!!!! :D <nyuk-nyuk> :lol:

Must admit I expected to be flying solo on the Stooge Laughter & Appreciation Plane (S.LA.P.) so it's good to see it isn't as gender-specific as it's always seemed.

(Or bunking solo in the Stooge-Induced Laughter & Levity Yurt?) :P

Besides making all the film shorts, they used to tour. My Dad saw 'em live at the ole Pickwick Theatre (actual spelling, not just sillyville-adjusted) in Park Ridge IL.

I've seen movies there myself (2nd town over from my hometown) and I'm positive Hillary C has too!! :lol:

She grew up in Park Ridge.

P.S. I'm feeling better than I have in weeks and I'm not askeert to say so!!!!

Literally woke up singing lol :lol:

Some pop song I wouldn't expect to like. Part of the chorus is "Live your life w/ eyes wide open .. . " and it's been in some shampoo comm'l for quite a while.

Tom-good to hear someone is feeling well. A lot of the Sillies (me including) are sick.

Amanda--you have to be all better by Friday!!!!! (Wegman's picture day)

I wonder if I didn't have a stomach bug last week--it's so hard to tell sometimes.....

I actually hope that's what it was and not the cheese and peas. :lol:

Oh dear GAAAAAAAaaaaaaawdddd!!!!!!!!!!!....watch out! Ptaum's had some seed cake feeling GOOD!!! :lol::lol:

....Did anyone else like Laurel & Hardy???? ....another totally predictable type of comedy ....I'm easily pleased :D

Oh...was our Peuzeee getting coiffed today?????

I too recall a scheduled hog-ectomy for tuesday.

Oh, duuuuuhhhhh.....

Yeah, misread the "crappy" for "happy".

ROFL that's quite the misreading there, Em.

At least they rhyme I suppose, but if I were to say I need surgery, might you reply that I should tell the truth, as perjury is a jailable offense and they may not do gluten-free for me?

Hafta say, I don't often board those flights.... :rolleyes:

Much funnier for me were Laurel and Hardy. Now there was some great, ahead-of-its-time comedic stuff. Just saw Way Out West again for the first time in many years, and guffawed heartily.

Literally woke up singing lol :lol:

Great stuff, Tom! :) Happy to hear it was a real song, and not some drivel by Puff-thingama-Daddy-o.... :huh::lol:

Tom-good to hear someone is feeling well. A lot of the Sillies (me including) are sick.

I just keep 'a knocking wood....I feel superb! Did one of my longest runs today, blood sugars are stellar, no recent glutenings.....what's up?

We called 'em floaties!

Perhaps it was just the idea of suggesting I float around the pool like a little old lady with arm thingies on... :lol:

John had the stomach bug last week and my coworkers have been suffering with it too...

Maybe you did have the stomach bug Patti....I have to say it is the worst I have had in years.

This must be a founding principle of high-quality physical comedy. Sped up, things are hilarious; slow just isn't funny. Lobbing said computer out of a car that is coasting along a side-street does nothing to me. Would we even smile if the Three Stooges' eye-pokings and head-smackings were done slowly, methodically? Nope. (Hmmmmm...perhaps a bad example. Who really finds those old routines funny at all?) :rolleyes:

count me in....I find them phunny also. :ph34r: but, only for about 15 minutes, and then I'm done with it. Like Jim Carey - a little goes a long way - I can only take about TEN minutes of that one.

OMG - I am a freak - - there are certain movies I will watch over and over.....silly romantic comedies usually. Gail will come over for movies and say, with a completely resigned look on her face - We are not watching The Holiday again, are we? :lol::ph34r: She's seen it twice....me? About....10 times. :ph34r:

And Something's Gotta Give w/ Jack Nicolson/Diane Keaton - I own it and have seen it about.......15 times. But here's the weirdest part....if it comes on TV - I will watch it also. :blink::huh::ph34r:

Oh...was our Peuzeee getting her barnet coiffed today?????.........of course IF she threw her pc out the car (at HIGH speed!, causing multiple pile ups :o ) we shall NEVER know !!!!!!!!!!!

all coiffed up here!!!!!!!! Yes, slight super-model quality today. But today only folks, it's just so fleeting. :lol::angry:

Computer is still intact and in one piece, and safely here at home. High-speed technological cacophony is on standby. :lol:

But OMG...remember the last time I was showing off in front of a bunch of kids. Well....I cannot get a huge bruise in the water. However, I can drown....

:unsure: yes, do mind the drowning part..... '

Amanda! Feel better!

okay - speaking of misunderstandings and misinterpretation, here are some funnies:

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age.

How do you feel?"

Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."

"Really? Like a newborn baby!?"

"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

*****

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.

The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."

The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"

The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?

You know... The one that's red and has thorns."

"Do you mean a rose?"

"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

*****

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.

On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.

"I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

*****

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.

"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"

"Sure."

"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.

"No, I can remember it."

"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?"

He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."

"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.

Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"

Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.

"Where's my toast ?"

*****

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:

"So I hear you're getting married?"

"Yep!"

"Do I know her?"

"Nope!"

"This woman, is she good looking?"

"Not really."

"Is she a good cook?"

"Naw, she can't cook too well."

"Does she have lots of money?"

"Nope! Poor as a church mouse."

"Well, then, is she good in bed?"

"I don't know."

"Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"

"Because she can still drive!"

*****

Three old guys are out walking.

First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"

Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"

Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."

*****

A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid.

It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."

"Really," answered the neighbor, "What kind is it?"

"Twelve thirty."

*****

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.

A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"

Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"

The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'"

*****

One more !

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"

"No," he replied, "Arthritis."

Susie - excellent funnies! I've already passed them on to me mum.

Emily - I think Patti's water wings are an excellent idea. We've even still got some around here somewhere. Wish I could get them to you in time. 'Course they might not fit. They're made for a three year old. Do you have skinny little toothpick arms?

I was never a three stooges fan. Laurel and Hardy were OK. I loooovvvved Open Original Shared Link

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.
