.....this is when I jump on his back, curled up like a bug, and cling to him for dear life........'tis quite funny to everyone, esp. to David.....as he was crouched down, looking at sumfin' on bottom shelf, I attacked :lol:

If one can imagine, DH does this to me.. .. . yes, all 180 pounds of him, on my back. Curled up like one mother bug. Also quite funny to everyone... .. .although I'm failing to find as much humour in it the older I get. . ... :lol:

Sounds like a scene out of the Pink Panther with Peter Sellers & 'Cato' :lol:

:lol: 'tis not unlike that! Must point out, though, that June Bug is accompanied by the warning cry: "JUNE BUG!!!!!!!!!!!" and then the pounce....... :lol: I invented it while Kissey was rolling out his sleeping mat and bag in teh tent.............he can't shake me off, no matter how hard me tries :lol:

Much has transpired in the last two days with regard to our staffing challenges. I can't share anything in a public space, but something I did not expect has developed. Don't rule out silly Peter in Philly just yet.

ooooooooooo intrigue

Ya know, Phataughm, I've been thinking along this line for you too. I also wonder if you might not have yet another food intolerance. I had months and months of feeling better and than not--and it's so disheartening to have this happen over and over again. I ended up having to cut out quite a few foods --just about every plant protein known to man. I know your diet is very strict already, but could there possibly be something you eat often that has turned into a culprit now?

Just thinkin' B) Stupid leaky gut :angry:

Yeahhhhhhhh I do wonder about that.

First I've got to get back to practicing what I used to preach over on OMG - not having ANYTHING that I'm not positive is 100% safe.

Maybe 2 or 3 wks w/out trying any tests of the maybe-or-probably-safe stuff will get me back to happy & silly. :)

Thx for bringing up your thoughts. :wub:

It may soon be time for me to try some of the testing done by the OMGers.

You know, life just wouldn't be right if we weren't gettin' slapped around by Nikki once a month . . . :lol::lol:

Yes, and we got a bonus :evilcackle: this time

Well, if you kept doubling back you went twice as far as everyone else!

So . .. .Janet, Lisa, Jess . . ..am I the only one that starts thinking of the equations for this?

Scott claims a longer time, but my empirical investigations indicate that you have as a minimum two hours to make corrections. Welcome back, Alex, and I am waiting to see what you almost posted before chickening out. :lol:

Actually, I've glanced again at that photo, and I look quite like a cow, I believe.. . .Extremely unflattering. :rolleyes::angry: Perhaps when one is caught running, it's an automatic ten-pounds-go-on kind of illusion. Hell, I hope so... . :lol:

Au contraire, quite svelte I think. A little like Open Original Shared Link maybe. This adds credence to my "Skinny Mirror" theory. The theory goes that the way you see yourself in a skinny mirror (eg. those deceptive mirrors in fitting rooms that make everything look good on you) is the way that everyone else sees you in real life. So basically we all see you as looking ~10 pounds lighter than you see yourself looking in that picture! B)

Who knew you were so buxom -- :lol: I like that word. But nah, I prefer the picture of the tired runner who ran back and forth to cross the finish line with her son. A MUCH more attractive photo! :)

We went to see Indiana Jones tonight. Pretty good -- but not really my kind of movie. I can only willingly suspend my disbelief so much!

That's good to know. I guess 2 hours would have been enough to go back and make all of the necessary corrections! I wasn't sure what kind of time line we were looking at. I was afraid if I took too long it wouldn't let me submit my modified post.

Hmmmmm........theoretically, one could hypothesize that Emily could have traveled as much as 3 times the distance of said Ripper. Let's see....if we knew the time at which they completed the race....... and the speed at which subject Emily traveled.....let's assume for the sake of argument that Ripper traveled at 2 m/s...( speed =distance/time)......he would finish the 5k race in 1.44 hrs.....if Emily finished at the same time, traveling at 4 m/s,.....(distance=speed x time).... she would travel a distance of 20.76k........however, if you take into consideration that Emily's speed fluctuated, as she would most assuredly would want to decelerate to Ripper's pace on occassion.......

Don't forget that as she was returning to the Ripper, he was moving forward, so each double-back did not constitute a full double distance.

My original calculations were based on the guesstimation that Emily was running twice as fast as the Ripper was walking and he ran a straight 5K, and she continued running the entire time that he was walking, whether she was doubling back or running in circles or whatever. But obviously there's a flaw in my theory :unsure: I said I love math.....that doesn't necessarily mean I'm always good at it :lol::lol::lol:

Morning, Sillies!!

Ahhhhh, what a perfect flurry of late-night posts for me to have missed - - could honestly feel my stomach tightening as I skipped through the problem-solving equations and hypotheses of the two travelled distances from our race... .. .honestly, you number people!! :lol:

Actually, at the top of our pic the time is shown as we crossed the finish line - - 44:10. :) Another fact to consider in your calculations: I'm fairly certain I doubled back eight times.. . ..but no idea how much farther ahead of Jack I had gotten each time before turning back....

Gaaaaaaahhhhhhh..... ... .my braaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnn.............

Across the pond, I believe this maneuver is called the "Piggy-Bat".

:lol::lol:

Yes! Nikki's av - - it's the Kisseys out shopping!

Nikki! We were typically mystified and properly shocked as the niave little Canadian tourists that we were....each time we boarded the subway in London last summer, to see beer flowing freely, lots of soccer-singing, hands up skirts, staggering and bellowing (and honestly, this was not midnight - - it was late afternoon!).. ..

Nikki...........now that I ponder this, I remember getting on at Camden Town and sharing the car with a loud, wanton woman, wild, curly hair flying about, dancing on the seats, blistered feet causing her to swear like a trucker.... .. .

Could it have been?.... ... ..

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      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.

      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

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      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?
