Hallo Sillies......just flew back from Florida (Boy- are my arms tired :P).

I ALMOST had to find a computer to tell you guys what happened. I was in a coffee shop getting a Mexican spiked spiced cocoa and I heard this father talking to his 13 yearr-old (ish) son. The conversation went something like this:

Dad: "No, you CANNOT get a coffee" in a very grumpy, half-awake state.

Son: "Why?"

Mom: "Honey, tell Daddy what he acts like before he gets his morning coffee."

Son: "A yeti"....

Dad: "Did you just say I act like a yeti?"

Son: "Yep"

I thought I was going to die!!!!!!!!!!!

7. I'm not interested in fighting you.

8. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no

coordination. I'd hate to look like a fool!

9. Where is the nearest bathroom? I refuse to pee in this parking lot

or on the side of the road.

10. I must be going home now, as I have to work in the morning.

Reminds me of a story . . .

A friend of mine and I decided to share an apartment. I still had a month left of my lease on my one-bedroom apt and hers was up so she moved into my living room for the month while we shopped around. She was the big drinker and I always ended up being designated driver. So one night, she swore she would take a turn and she would drive. So, after the bars have closed as I am driving her car home (because I noticed that by the time I finished one beer she had downed three rum and cokes and wasn't slowing down), she insisted on getting something to eat. This was the late 80's and not so many drive-thrus were open at 2:00am. I had to drive around and find something because she HAD to have some french fries. It took about an hour. We get home. I go to bed. As predicted, I'm up significantly earlier than her and since she's sleeping in my living room . . . I see her curled up with her bag of french fries like it's a stuffed animal or favorite blanket. She didn't eat one fry!!

Hi Bev . . . yetis in FL, who da thunk? :lol:

Just watching Larry King....Elton John's on. What a truly remarkable man....such a brilliant artist--I am astounded anew each time I listen to his music, or to his thoughts on life. Speaking of drinking, he still takes life day to day stuggling to stay clean and sober. I didn't realize that he'd battled so with drugs. Anyways....he's a true knight!

Carry on...!...

Morning Sillies,

How is everyone this morning. Not too sore from the gym, and we do plan on returning there this evening. It is an icy cold start to Tuesday though. Thankfully the roads we traveled were fine. I had the scariest dream this morning, tornados were coming and John and I were running to take cover and we couldn't find anything....it was so scary!

Snowy morning, here....But what else is new?.......

That would be a dream for me...catching both of them in one concert. Elton was here about three summers ago and I didn't make it...I believe we had booked holidays before the concert date was announced. :(

Music is such a powerful link to vivid memory, isn't it? I hear many of Elton's songs and I'm right back in time, a kid with my little transistor radio, lying on my bed or walking to school. Then I'll hear Led Zeppelin or Van Halen and I'm suddenly....other places..... :ph34r::rolleyes:

Welcome back Bev! I've missed your sillies :lol:

Laura, that must have been an amazing concert! I would love to see both Elton John and Billy Joel in concert.

I'm a little embarassed about the concerts I have seen, well not all of them, but many :lol: :

First concert I ever saw, The Jacksons, Victory Tour (WOO HOO!!!)

Then I frequented pretty much every 80s hair band concert that came to town...multiple times....i.e. Van Halen, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Great White, Whitesnake, White Lion, Poison, Cinderella, Scorpions, Queensryche, Skid Row.

I also saw Jimmy Buffet, The Beach Boys, Depeche Mode, and Howard Jones.

As I type this, Live with Regis and Kelly announced that today is "Super Yeti Day" or "Special Yeti Day" :lol::lol:

Janet, I must mention that your french fry story reminded me of the few (like, maybe one or two) :rolleyes: times I awoke after a night of great sorority partying with some interesting food items beside my bed, half-eaten. When did I get them? Why didn't I eat them all? Why did I choose processed meat and Dream Whip? :ph34r::lol:

Do you still keep in touch with this old roommate, Janet? I think you should facebook her, and confront this individual. Tell her it's been a forefront concern of yours all these years, you think about it regularly, and that she owes you a large fries, man!! :lol:

Ohhh Yesss, she is my bestest friend. You will all meet her when we move into the insane asylum retirement community. She and her husband are the guardians of our kids if something happens to me and hubby. My kids luuuuurve her. They know that if something ever happens, they will go and live with her. My son asked me for her number . . . "just in case". I told her that if my husband and I die suspiciously they should investigate the children as they seem too eager to move to her house.

We will be visiting them for spring break . . . Boston area . . . where I'll also be pooping in on Bev if she's not off tanning somewhere.

ELTON!!!!!!

I STILL occasionally listen to some tracks on the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album.

And Tijuana Taxi!

Julie - your hair bands! :lol: :lol: I saw Supertramp, Frampton, Foreigner, Tom Petty, maybe Journey? - can't remember :ph34r: 'Tis all a blur..........

Supertramp kicked @$$!!!!! Foreigner was ok, Journey was disappointing. ;)

Late 70s I saw EVERYthing I could afford. Became more discriminating in the 80s.

In a better-late-than-never move, started saving concert ticket stubs somewhere in the early 80s.

Last time I came across them, I'm like .. ."I went to that????" & "oh yeahhhhh I remember them!".

Much blur.

(Oh! Didn't see Blur, but I bet they were great live)

(gitcher minds out of the gutter AGAIN, will ya?)

Shall we attach any significance to the day this phrase of the gutter STOPS being uttered????

:lol: :lol:

Ok then .. ..seems the effects of Sunday's perfumeage are dwindling yay!

A minor exposure has too great an effect. :(

Had to tell Tony to cancel any possible interview. :(

Might be time I get back on the OMG thread to see what long&winding road might eliminate these ridiculously detrimental 'phume sensitivities.

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb
