Does he live in FL or is that beach bum remark entirely attire-related?

He's lived there most of his life.........and it's not just his attire.............his hair is all the same length........almost to his shoulders.........and thick............always in his face :rolleyes::D

& the story behind it!

Tom --what an amazing article. I'd heard you speak of your brother but didn't really now the story behind it.

Love the whole idea of the ....bench you can go and sit on..... :)

Had a lovely dinner with my parents, and it is true....I am SO unbelievably blessed to still have them both here, both in their eighties, and both mentally sharper than anyone around....sharper than ME, fer sure.....

My dad is fading physically, however. :(:( Parkinson's. His gait is very slow, his tremors are quite bad down one side, and yet here he is....this old man, shaking and trundling along, and when he opens his mouth it brings tears to my eyes, because the room is suddenly filled with his booming broadcaster's voice, crackling with wit and energy.....such a dichotomy. It is searingly painful to see him decline quickly in the ravages of his illness, and have his sharp, cool mind raging against it all....

Sorry....I digress from all things silly....Mom and Dad just left, and it's all fresh in my heart......

Ah, Emily, won't make you tear up. Just happy for you.

Yes it's sad to see the decline but you'll be there for them and that's what counts....

I"m off again......keep running around to visit people so as not to have to be here :(

Happy for you Susie Q !

What ever it takes to get you out of the house :D

Went to visit him last fall. He was bragging about the great deal he got on the name-brand shorts he was wearing.....................he didn't realize that they said *sample* across the top of his butt!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

What a riot.......... reminds me of when my hubby was protesting his 'independent nature' when he was working for the gov....he grew a pony tail.

He had to cut it off when his arthritic shoulder and elbow would allow him to reach up to put the rubber band on it. :lol: How old is your dad. God i hope we aren't your dad's age. :o:lol:

ok Patti......let's see if this works.

Oh Emmy, honey, if love could only make our wishes happen. Your dad's body is only here to hold his gift to the world. It's only the wrapping paper that's getting tattered; the amazing being that is your father is still, and will always, be here. Not only has he given joy and laughter to untold numbers of his fans, he's given us you. And you have given us Jack. The world is a better place because of him.

And you.

Morning, Silly Ones!

I was just reading the results of the Flugtag competition in the paper. We didn't stay for the entire event, and missed the big winning team from Vancouver's performance. Their pilot flew a huge craft in the shape of a NYC yellow cab about 100 metres above the Ottawa River before it crashed into the drink. Second prize went to a flying lighthouse I was thinking of you, Amanda! :) Such, simple, plebian things that make up our family life...... :lol:

Went to visit him last fall. He was bragging about the great deal he got on the name-brand shorts he was wearing.....................he didn't realize that they said *sample* across the top of his butt!!!!!

:lol:

....I often feel like a sample...... . .of what, or whom, I haven't deciphered as yet.... . .. :lol::unsure:

Fathers and phunny clothing......

How many of you have lived with the abomination of white socks with oxfords? Mygawd, the absolute bane of my mother's existence, and something she stopped my father from doing well before I was born. But I have heard about it constantly thoughout my life, during the many times we would happen by a man wearing this dreaded combination, often with dark pants (the crowning heinosity)....Mom would ALWAYS quietly comment to me, her voice strained with consternation, "Dear gawd. That man does not have a responsible wife to set him straight on such paramount things".........

:rolleyes:

I'M probably closer to YOUR age! :P My dad is, I believe, 70 years old.

Wow, Lisa! Your dad is SO young! Double lucky, you is! :)

.....Is he a Scorpio, by chance?

:wub::wub::wub:

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. I have a little whispering voice right now, barely able to speak. Thank you SO MUCH for this, Jess. Your perfect, wise words will be passed along to Jack as I will show them to him. This is fitting for your poignant message of passing along life's great things.

Dad is a tremendous gift, simply with old, tattered wrapping. 'Tis so true. :)

OH NOW I get IT though the poop signs we are always looking for signs ... like if you blow your nose you can't throw it right away ...you gotta glance at it like ....what ???? that came out of my nose...NO WAY........ , thAt couLD come in handy ....I WAS THINKING OF like when they put me through all this stool samples and all .. well i do want to get to the bottom of all this... but .... i guess they ment BOttOm . well O.K. ... we do throw around the phrase alot ....study poop.

Ohhhhmaaagaaaaaaaaad......! :lol::lol:

Jo, I cannot help but be completely swept into your stream-of-consciousness musings.....Have you read Joyce's Ulysses? You remind me so of Stephen Dedalus- - phunee, convoluted, magical...... :D

Yes, this looking-into-a-kleenex-after-blowing is a macabre act that confounds me. I blow, scrunch up and immediately throw away.

Never had to examine own fecal matter. Thank GAWD. :rolleyes:<_<

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else 
    • RMJ
      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.
    • thejayland10
      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I will not touch anything unless it is certified gluten free.  Do you see this pretty commonly with others? Having mild rises in TTG IGA and IGA who have been on gluten-free diet for years? 
    • RMJ
      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten? 
    • thejayland10
      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?
