Gad....I thought we were talkin' about some guy named Telemarketer or Telephonic.

"Hi, I'm Nikki, and this is my husband, Teleprompter. For obvious reasons, he's known as 'Tel'"..... :lol:

I suppose that's better than 'Prom'

Wondering how many nicknames have nicknames .. . .isn't Terry short for Terrence?

Terry to Tel = Nikki to Nid??

(By simple arithmetic shift fyi)

.....gotta have something sparkling, fruity, adn delicious............

Hmmmmmmmm invent Lazy Mojitos then?

Syrup? Bah, just sugar.

Muddling mint leaves? Pffft just chew a minty gum and spit in the glass .. . . or . . . . does toothpaste dissolve? Maybe dunk an Altoid a few times? (don't pretend they're not always handy!!! :lol: )

Susie! Do you sell the jewellery that you make? You often seem to be working on something... .

What's going on in Kisseyville? Have you guys agreed to disagree? Has the argument-fuelled smoke cleared?

DH and I were arguing this evening about which was a better movie, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe or Prince Caspian. The smoke will clear soon....... ... . :rolleyes:

I do sell jewelry, and really need to sell more. Have thousands of $$ of inventory, collected over a decade......gads......may start listing on ebay (I'll take a huge loss) or etsy.com. Dunno yet...and do not know how to 'splain what I make. :blink: semi-precious gemstones, sterling and pearls......hand-wired together. will have to put photos up, somehow.

Oh, all is quite well in Kisseyville! :wub: not to worry. Um, I DO think I should put up a more dignified photo of the goof, though...... :lol:

Ah! We settled the old TP quandary long ago - - it rolls from the bottom, reducing the chances of it all flipping out into a big heap on the floor....

I'm telling ya, we have addressed some colossal points of difference head-on over the years we have been together:

Which is the correct way to slice a kiwi - - length-wise or width-wise?

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

Is cutting one's toenails a disgusting personal act that should be done in complete privacy?

Oh, it goes on and on.... :lol::rolleyes:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

:lol: :lol:

OMG - I don't EVER want to see anyone cutting his toenails. In fact, I really don't want to see any toenails, period. :blink:

About 20 years ago, I was a receptionist in a law firm.......and this client was right around the corner, obviously cutting his nails. We could hear it (gross enough in itself), as he was right outside the kitchen area, standing in the main hallway, just off the reception area. What in hell? I called a couple of people up front to witness this spectacle. But....the worst - - after he'd left, we found his neat, tidy pile of nail remnants.............a NAIL cairn, to be precise, right on the counter outside the kitchen. :blink: :vomitface: :lol:

And yes, potatoes CAN be eaten w/ eggs - those would be hashbrowns. OMG - I miss McDonald's hash browns..........such yummy, dreamy piles of potato-y, greasy, golden-y heaven-puffs....... :(

tom Contributor

I'd never have imagined this could be questioned!!!!

Besides hashbrowns (really? McD's? :huh: ), there are SO many varieties of home fries <that looks weird in print> w/ regional nuances.

Slices, chunks whatever . ... .as long as onions are involved I'll love 'em.

:lol:nail cairn :lol:

Terence to Terry to Tel :blink: ....yes, I can see it looks odd BUT it's not so much as how it looks as to how it sounds

If you say Ter it sounds like Tel

Is this a peculi(hil)arity to Brits I wonder??? :blink: ......would yer have to call me hubby 'Terry' ALL the time?? :unsure: ......NEVER 'Tel'

GADS how tiresome :lol:

We (Brits) would also shorten

Sharon to Shal

Darren to Dal

Gary to Gal

Derek to Del

:lol::huh:

I don't care if you fink I'm odd....I haven't got time for FULL names!!!!!!!

Terry to Tel = Nikki to Nid??

Nicknames for nicknames :lol: .......why, thats as mad as pets for pets! :lol:

Ya gotta have a vowel, then an 'R' in your name

Did someone say Cape crusader cod piece??? :unsure:

Or which way to hang the toilet paper...over or under. :P

Has to be UNDER!!!!!

Which is the correct way to slice a kiwi - - length-wise or width-wise?

Width-wise

Also (optionally healthy fibRE boost) ..leave the skin on when you slice...........yes, yes!...it sounds wrong but TRY ^_^

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

WHAAAAAT???

Well the how the heck is TER going to eat his fried egg & chips otherwise???? <_<

Is cutting one's toenails a disgusting personal act that should be done in complete privacy?

Indeed it should be THE LAW :o

NO toe-nail cairns PLEASE!!!

In fact, I really don't want to see any toenails, period. :blink:

:lol: Well, I don't mind FEmale toe-nails attached to toes...with nail polish but NOT on men (hairy toes :( , looks odd)

Which reminds me ....I really must 'pretty up' my feet apres the 'wobbly blister/now hard skin' incident.

I may just go to the shop and have a pedicure ....but WHO would want to do that job????? :o

<not me>

...but I must point out that I would before I go: (in private!)

Cut my toe-nails

Try and get some hard skin off

SCRUB my feet then powder them.........

I also wash my hair BEFORE going to the hairdresser's :huh:

...but HOLY SKANKY HEADS!!!...I worked in a hairdressers for 4 yrs and you would be AMAZED at the sheer unashamed RANKNESS of heads of which people would expect you to touch !!!!!!!! :o:o :vomitface:

Seems as though DH is not the only one who finks that eggs with potatoes is simply wrong - - my dad has always thought this a bizarre combination. "Potatoes are a supper food, eggs for breakfast", kind of old-school thinking. :rolleyes: I love 'em together - - a delicious, fast supper.. .but potatoes are not great for the diabetes, sadly.....

We (Brits) would also shorten

Sharon to Shal

Darren to Dal

Gary to Gal

Derek to Del

Equally odd is the seemingly illogical shortening of Margaret to Peggy, Howard to Hank, John to Jack, Richard to Dick... . .becomes a whole new name. I believe Mr. Chow's name is Tran Chow. This is excellent - - a name that is just too difficult to Westerize into a shortened form. :lol:

Width-wise

Hey! I EAT it all - - skin and everything...yup.

Nik, I couldn't agree with you more. I was just sayin' to Em & Pat the other day how I need more time. I was telling Sue that I was going to have to cut a few things out. . . . And did we decide if Al has been spotted? . . . and how did Am's day finish off after our threats to the Merck monster. . . and is Jules feeling better?

Now, I've had to make all these short cuts because I have to spend so much time spelling . . . HTtaughawoughmn's name.

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.
    • numike
      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA 
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.
