We are having a potluck lunch today at work, I made my famous chicken scampi . . .

Famous?!! :o sounds yummy ;)

Well, she and Landen were the only ones out of 15 that showed up.

Bah!!!! People!!! How depressing for her & how terribly impolite of the other 14. :angry:

Aaargh Julie! :(

Gotta run for now, I'm taking the Pod Brats who stole my good children to the library. Later!

:lol: :lol:

If you've got enough rope to make harnesses you could hook them all up to the car and have them pull it to the library.

Hehe LibraryQuest!! What's the url so we can keep up on checkpoint arrivals?

Whilst shouting ''Mush'' at the little blighters!!

That's some crack-me-up Brit-speak

The U.S. broadcast of Wimbledon has a Brit co-host who said whinging this morning!!

'Twere Darren Cahill, btw, whoever that is. :P

Amanda's packing/worrying & Patti's spreading the word & Carla should be gathering tarps :lol:

However, I was quite impressed with myself and my ability to drag myself, struggling mightily, into my sage, helpful persona and, well......offer a post that was responsible, mature and serious.

uh, yeah. give us a new critique tomorrow when you aren't PUI.

Wimbledon! Yes, there's a Canuck (what is his name?...great-looking...aquiline jaw, long, flowing, dark hair, body of Adonis) who's taken the court by storm...huge upset when he beat the 7th seed, an Argentinian....

Amazing. I am suddenly heavily interested in Wimbledon, like never before..... .. . . <_<

Ahh yes, the canuck w/ the eastern european name knockin' out Nalbandian(sp?).

Djokovic, aussie open winner, losing was another surprise. And I could barely believe Ana Ivanovic was almost bounced. She's #1, since Henin bowed out, which still seems like such a shame.

Yes! I love watching Henin play....like a young Navratilova. :)

In fact, I'll sit and watch almost any womens' tennis....just seems more exciting... ..longer rallies, more....passionate, perhaps?

Must get that Canuck Adonis Man's name.......Grrrrrrrrrrrr.......yes, Eastern European sound.......

I know what you mean. Lyme did a number on my hair. Much of it fell out and what was left broke. When I began treatment, it started growing back, so it's taken this long to replace all of it. I have about two inches of bad hair left, but it's not worth getting cut off right now as it's not that bad anymore. It's thickened up to where it used to be. Thankfully it was thick to begin with .....

The hair I lost 3 years ago when I was so ill never came back, but I'm not going to stress over it....just try and make the most of what I got left :lol:

Hehe LibraryQuest!! What's the url so we can keep up on checkpoint arrivals?

:D:D Ah--memories of last winter......

Patti, I want to see a PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!

On the way..... B)

Uh Em....if you see that woman, it might not be a good idea to start talking about stuff like boobs, ho-tubs or whinging--she will most likely look at you like this: :mellow:

Whilst I will be a few feet away with me mousy brown mop top and way too much face :lol:

I'm thinking even moreso when one is half in the bag :P

Does that mean drunk? :lol: I didn't know that! A fun new saying!!!

With all of talk of double D's and such -- has anyone ever had a professional bra fitting? My bra never feels comfortable and I'm not really sure what size I am. I lost quite a bit of weight when I was sick so things kind of um . . . deflated :ph34r: but now that I'm at a healthier weight things are a little more ample. The thought of a stranger looking and measuring seems torturously awkward but maybe it's worth it for a more comfortable fit. For those who have done this, is it as bad as it seems? Perhaps I will have to be half in the bag before heading to the store for a bra fitting to deal with the discomfort of the situation.

I've done the bra fitting. It's a little weird, but worth it to finally have good fitting bras.

Had one done a few years ago at Sears, after all the pregnancy weight was gone and I was left with my new, smaller, disappointing boobs. A huge, matronly black woman measured me everywhere, pushed my boobs around, hummed and hawed......

It wasn't bad. And I discovered my new size. :rolleyes:

:D Alex....yep, half in the bag means tipsy.

A bra fitting isn't bad--you are wearing your bra during it and a woman takes a couple measurements with a tape measure in a fitting room. I read somewhere recently that 80% of women wear the wrong size bra! :o Kinda unbelieveable.....

Thanks, good to know! I'm going to the mall with Ryan's sister next week so hopefully I can get it done then. It definitely can't be more invasive than the endoscopy and colonoscopy! Although at least I was sedated for that! :P I shouldn't have to make an appointment, should I?

Hmm, I think I should do a bra fitting, too. At least, I need some new bras...

Lucas can't sleep. He's in his room reading, right now. A few minutes ago, I told him to turn the light out and try to go to sleep, and he was like, "Ok, just one more chapter!" He's seven. A chip off the ole block, I say. ^_^

Ok sillies - discovered this in my paper today.....

The English Project is looking for examples of 'Kitchen table lingo' ......(words you make up and use frequently)

Some examples:

Clackers - testicles

Bobbicles - breasts

Cauliflower heads - elderly ladies

Having a McS*** - entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of buying food - just using the loo

McS*** with lies - telling staff you'll buy food afterwards

...and finally

Testiculating - waving your arms around and talking b@#$%$#% :lol:

What words could we submit?? :lol:

Nikki!!!!!! Having a McSh!t!!! I love it! I do this frequently.

I have to agree with JNBunnie and Alez, btw. Having a camera up the butt has to be way worse than a bra fitting. (Never was subjected to a colonoscopy, myself.) Plus, after the bra fitting, you get to SHOP. :lol: That makes it totally worthwhile. I'm a big believer in retail therapy. :rolleyes:

      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.

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

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.

      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
