I'm not quite understanding how a mismatch of a bake-off morphed into a weapon-laden rumble.

Uncle ray (who I will see tomorrow at a family pah-tay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) sends this:

Grandma and Grandpa were visiting their kids overnight. When Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet, he asked about using one of the pills.

The son said, 'I don't think you should take one Dad; they're very strong and very expensive.'

'How much?' asked Grandpa. '$10.00 a pill,' Answered the son.

'I don't care,' said Grandpa, 'I'd still like to try one, and before we leave in the morning, I'll put the money under the pillow.'

Later the next morning, the son found $110.00 under the pillow. He called Grandpa and said, 'I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00. 'I know,' said Grandpa. 'The hundred is from Grandma!'

Uncle Ray strikes again: (my apologies to all the blondes- Uncle ray knows no boundaries :P

Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA Freshman, sat in her US

Government class. The professor asked Bambi if she knew what

Roe vs. Wade was about.

Bambi pondered the question; then, finally, said, 'That was the decision

George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware .'

Whoa......funny stuff happening wif me phone line... ..dunno if this'll post or not. Could be outta the loop for the weekend.

Who said bikinis? Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....... :o:o

psawyer Proficient

Emily, it posted all right. I'm not sure about people of a certain age wearing bikinis. Of course, I personally would never be seen in one. I totally lack cleavage and am really completely flat in that department. :(

Something on the upside, but not silly. Jennifer has joined the team at our business and it looks like it will work well for all of us. She has a day job, but will work some evenings and weekends We are still looking urgently for another team member.

The $100 is from Grandma! :lol::D:lol:

Amanda is getting some time away from work. Hooray!

Hey everybody! Just pooping in so nobody thinks I died. :rolleyes: Good stuff and bad stuff to report...

End of school year stuff, several b-day parties,etc... Despite constant absences, Lucas passed 1st grade with flying colors, and Ezra's preschool teachers said he should do great in Kindergarten. I've got to get Ezra's graduation pic scanned so I can put it up as my av. What's cuter than a 5 year old in a cap and gown?! :wub:

We've been having lots of outside time, and art projects, and cookouts with the grandparents. Less than a week since school ended here, and we are LOVING summer vacation!!!

I still haven't put Luke on a probiotic yet, but the fiber supplements seem to be helping him!

I've been spending a lot of time with my friend I told you about, who's going through the bad divorce. I've known both of them for almost 10 years, and I cannot believe what a complete ass her husband has turned into. :angry: He just never grew up.

Oh, and the state is supposedly taking over maintenance of our road- which has always been a private road. And they've sent us all letters demanding nonsense-type work be done on everyone's front yards and driveways. It's a royal pain! And it got up to 100 degrees today-- not fun weather to heaving rocks out of a drainage ditch. So we're doing all this so that they'll repair any future potholes in our perfect-condition road, and plow the snow that we never get, because it's NC. Whatever.

The big thing that's going on right now has to do with my mom. Honestly, I'm really worried. She has a growth on her leg, and there's kind of a strong chance that it's cancer.

It's been there for a couple years, slowly growing. I nagged her into getting it biopsied about two years ago, and when she called for the results, the receptionist told her they came back normal. But it kept growing. So mom had our family doc look at it again, and she was horrified to see how big it has grown- the size of a silver dollar now.

So our doc looked back through the file at the biopsy results, and said that it was precancerous. Two years have gone by. It may have become cancerous by now, or maybe not. If it is cancerous, we don't know what type yet. I went with her to a surgeon Thursday, and he took another biopsy. It's going to be another week before we find out.

I'd love any prayers and/or positive thoughts you all could send her way! My mom's such a strong person, and I believe in my heart that no matter what it turns out to be, it will be manageable. But I am still worried. We are as close as a mother and daughter could be.

I missed the 1000th page rollover! I'll try to not be such a slacker.

Sending positive thoughts for your Mum.....do let us know - it must be very worrying for you :(

Glad you & the boys are having phun!! :D

EMILY!!!!!!!...come back!!!....don't fall into the forumless abyss!!!!!!!!!!! :o

I've got to drop kids off at clubs (I am a glorified taxi) then stock up on food as we are going to Scotland on Monday (leaving eldest son at home :o ....I've got to write a list of 'to do' and NOT 'to do' for him :lol: )

Busy, busy back later pholks :rolleyes:

Morning, everyone!

It's all okay phone-line wise.....huh, very odd......last night our phone line kept cutting in and out, would become very static-ey and then would be silent....then back on but a faint static...then a constant busy signal (?).....now 'tis poifect.

Was SO looking forward to dealing with my best friends over at the Bell Canada behemoth....NOT. So, I'll keep me fingers crossed.

Sarah, I am thinking and praying for you and your mom. The waiting is always SO tough.. ...but we've seen how strong you are, and I bet you get it from your mom. :)

Sounds like you're having a terrific summer wif yer kids!

I'll be back, barring static... ... ...

Jestgar Rising Star

So we have Tom in a bikini (monokini?) Sarah's mom growing silver dollars, Uncle Ray walking around with elderly blondes (with big smiles) and gluten-free projectiles flying overhead whilst everyone cowers under goalie pads. Did I get it all?

I'd be sure and paint arrows if I were you! :ph34r: label it like "Here! Not over there!" I wanted to do that when I had my gall bladder out cuz you always hear those stories. :P

For my first knee surgery I wrote "Not this one" on my contralateral other knee. I believe I was talked about for weeks.

I have no iron in my body (ferritin is 2, normal is about 100). Brain doesn't function, and for some strange reason, when my brain isn't working right I lose the small words, but can still use the big ones. And I can't follow a thought or concentrate. Nigh on impossible to do my job this week. I do a lot of stuff that requires focus and remembering what you've done until you've finished and can write it down.

Great visit with the gyn. She (of course it's a she) looked at my bloodwork and said "Can you even get up in the morning?" Amazing how nice validation is. The derm saw the same bloodwork two weeks earlier and his only comment was "You've now got the record for the lowest ferritin I've ever seen." <_<

Anyway, got some prescription iron. Was promised improved brain activity in two weeks. Now I have to tell my boss that I need 6 weeks off. Fortunately I'm too tired to even care.

Can I get one of those goalie pads to nap on?

jerseyangel Proficient

Sarah!!!! There you are :D

You better know that I'll say a prayer for your mom! Yes, the waiting is so hard....

Good news about the boys--glad you can be there for your friend :)

Road stuff=heinous :angry:

Take care, we're always thinking about you ;)

Darn210 Enthusiast

Sarah!!! So glad you could poop in . . . prayers and hugs for you and yer mum . . . we were gettin' ready to send out a search party for you.

For my first knee surgery I wrote "Not this one" on my contralateral other knee. I believe I was talked about for weeks.

Well, I say give 'em somethin' else to talk about . . . just takin' a guess as to where they are headin' with the hints (6 weeks off, low iron, hanus goil surgery) . . . use your glitter body paint to write, "This uterus, not my other one" :huh::blink::lol::lol: . . . Positive energy headed your way, too, Jess!! . . . and I suppose that Susie and I can put off our rumble until you no longer need the napping goalie pads.

I am child free for a couple of hours . . . yipeeeeee!!! . . . hubby took the kids to the museum ('tis a thunderstormy day today - we're ASSuming baseball will be cancelled).

Ugh....I did it again. Yesterday I decided to treat myself to some homemade popcorn and a Boylan natural soda. I've been on the grainless, sugarless Edna for 5-6 weeks now and thought what the hell--one day won't make a difference.

Well, as far as the weight loss maybe, but I spent all last evening and most of the night nauseous and having terrible anxiety. At one point, my heart was beating so fast that I scared meself. Plus, I virtually never vomit--but I came thisclose last night.

I seriously think that the corn did this--it was one of the foods that the Kinesiologist said I should not eat ever.....of course, so what do I crave? <_<

Feeling better this morning--but wrung out..... :(

Gawd :angry:

Jestgar Rising Star

Bummer Patti. I, too, had corn one day. It was enough to convince me not to do it again (well, until the next time I do it again).

At least you can be sure that (most of the time) you are doing really great things for your body.

      69yo M I have had skin cancer basal  I use a higher quality Vit D https://www.amazon.com/Biotech-D3-5-5000iu-Capsules-Count/dp/B00NGMJRTE

      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 
    • 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?
