:lol: :lol: :lol: i WOULD NEVER INTENTIONALLY come to worjk um incapacitasted, but that seconf=d oone totally snuck up on me. And then she gave me aride back to work so I didn't have a chnace to walk the major effects off.

Hee--Jess was tipsy :lol:

Ok Sillies....I need your prayers for someone else now, besides my poor kitty.

Oh my Amanda--I pray you get some good news about the baby any minute.

Agreed me too! This has been a very unPhunny day!

Gawd yes! :(

I know that I'm dating myself, but does any one remember what a "hottie" Mark Spitz was?

I so had a crush on him! :wub: What a head of hair! :P

Lucky is lying on the floor out of it and he wont eat, I think it is from the Meds they pumped him with....its killing us to look at him and see him like that.

Amanda--please ask the vet for IV fluids. It's not a huge deal, and he needs them to get this blockage through. He's most likely getting dehydrated.

I've been thinking about our PeOter, too...........

What--is PeOter ok? :unsure:

Tea Drinker . . . welcome . . . and Puhleeeaaassseee answer this burning question for Jess.

Jess . . . perhaps the person that invented loose tea actually invented the toothbrush instead!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I eat spinach a lot for breakfast and the guy I stand at the bustop with has realized that part of our commute relationship is to tell me when I have huge green chunks on my teeth. And the really phunny thing is that he doesn't see this as at all odd.

And the really really phunny thing is that the whole ferry crowd feels it's their collective responsibility not to let another member of the ferry crowd leave the boat with something out of place.

The women's bathroom is affectionately referred to as 'the den of beauty' and one time a woman walked out holding a plate of chocolate cake and announced casually that they were serving cake in the den.

It's a very unique commute experience. I know incredibly personal things about people who's names I don't even know.

oh wait, like here... :rolleyes:

OK I'm babbling, but it's a whole lot easier than trying to figure out why I have 2 14-3-Cs, and NO 14-4-C's...

I was just up in Rochester for a few days, we did the SeaWay Trail and saw some awesome lighthouses. I did want to stop in Tonawanda on the way home to see the Carousel Museum, I love those too :) We ran out of time since I was sick. I was to Niagra Falls last year on my honeymoon, it was our first venture upstate and we both loved it. Through my trips up there I met a friend who works on a radio station out of Rochester who is cool. I enjoyed dining at Tastings in Pittsford, they do gluten free meals and I loved every minute of that! Plus its Wegmans Central and if you ask anyone, I could live in that store!

We hope you continue to stay with our crazy crowd! Never a dull minute here!

Amanda--

Your signature is beautiful--wow :D It gave me goosebumps.

Aaack!!!!!!!!! Jess.......you and your monk are squashed!!!!!!! :o

Since we are opening our hearts, I just want to put my two cents in.

I am the kind of person that does not connect well with other people.....just the way I'm wired, I guess. And truly it does not bother me......I tend to be comfortable in my solitude. My life revolves around my family. I have friends at work...(or did, before they transferred me).....but I don't build relationships outside of that.......don't talk to people on the phone.....no e-mails. And even though I enjoyed talking to certain people at my last school, I probably won't make the effort to keep in touch........don't really know how. I started out in Sillyville being just that.......silly. It was easy. But little by little I have struggled within myself to reach out. To offer a little concern and comfort to others and share a little of my own life..........neither of which comes easy to me. Noone has ever made me want to connect as you have. And even when I visit and don't talk, I am still connected.....I still care.....even when I don't know how to say it.

I want a photo............

Ahh...no more sick kitties (my dad's 14 year old kitty is dying of kidney failure :( :( ). It makes me want to bawl as she was my mom's cat. :(

Prayers for Landen, and Sarah, and kitties. Too much unphunniness today

I've been meaning to tell you this too- beautiful girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah, your Mom's kitty dang........another bummer today Bev..........

ditto on the beauties

Oh Sillies still no word from Jen not be text or phone call.....I am worried. Lucky is lying on the floor out of it and he wont eat, I think it is from the Meds they pumped him with....its killing us to look at him and see him like that.

Anyone see Our Peter??? I miss him!

We have on hand a drunken Silly today Pholks! This shall provide us with some much needed laughs!

(((((((HUGS))))) to our dear Sarah!

Sillies stick together!

Manda......we want word from Jen........were is she......... :ph34r:

:) A lot has happened in my life in the last year and today made me really reflect on it and think and boy this thread has really helped me keep it together. I am so glad I have an outlet where I can come and let it all go, be accepted and get that support to continue on.

I look at all the times I have to vent about my workplace and some of the personal conflicts, now I have got to report things are so great there and a lot of the advice came from my sillies. We are more than just screennames and silly antedotes and pharting purse stealing kangrawhosits, and I wanted to let you guys all know it. Lets face it, this is my home away from home. Rarely do I travel outside the safe confines of Sillyville.

let's hear it for 'LOVE' REINING IN SILLYVILLE.

Thanks blueeyedmanda! I'm in Tonawanda, near Ellicott Creek. Moved here from Niagara Falls last November. I like to be near WATER! ;)

Back to the 70's porn song, did you guys ever see that Episode of Friends where Joey and Chandler are getting the free porn channel on TV? Rachel comes walking in and she is humming that song, and she is like what the heck song is that and Joey goes oh thats the theme to Good will Humping!

NOW I FEEL THE SILLY RETURNING................YEAH :P

What do you plan on doing wif the guys on this list, Bev?? :lol:

Do you "have to" since he IS on the list, even though you woulda changed your list but can't cuz its laminated????

Ohh Lisa, I am so glad you feel connected with us. That is great. We all have such different personalities but we mesh so well together and that is awesome!

Landen update~!~~~Jen just called the CT scan was normal, he will have further tests done but not for a few days they are on their way home. She did say they asked her all these odd questions at the Dr's and when they explained why to her it was due to child abuse which is a big thing these days, they said you would be surprised to hear that a lot of child abuse happens when the children are with caregivers other than parents but they could tell that Landen was taken very good of by his care givers....US!!!!! That just made me about tear up! Cause the whole Landen thing hasnt always been easy sailing either. This morning he was at the vet with me and John, and let me tell yiou I give that girl all the credit in the world, cause as a single mom she has to take him and a dog to the vet since her babysitter (me) works all day.

Also--I have go to tell you how I have a bum leg....going to make sure my ankle is not all sorts of broken. SO today is half off day at Salvation Army. So for once I was off during the day and when I ran out for lunch I stopped in. Well the door to the store was heavy and I didnt know it was closing fast and the thing slammed on my ankle and so I got caught in the door and fell to the ground. Thankfully no one saw. It hurts to put pressure on my foot now.....Especially when I am sitting.

It was the icing on the cake of the day let me tell you!

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
    • growlinhard1
      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.

      My mom said when he was born "you got what you gave".  Until 5 years of he was gluten free, was well liked by his friends, although did get them into mischief at times, a leader of his group of friends, physically active and paid attention, as much as any preschooler.      At 5 years old we moved to my hometown and had to rely on our friends, my pediatrition (still the best doctor I ever had), my wife was a nurse so her aquaintences and doctor friends.  They all still believed back in 1980's that Celiac was a growing phase, and he wanted to be like everyone else.  So everyone's opinion was that if he tolerates gluten with no symptoms he had outgrown it.  He passed the summer at the beach (lots of vitamin D) was a prodegy swimmer and the whole team liked him and he fit in well.     Fall came, he started kindergarden school, less sun ( low vitamin D, Seasonal Affective Disorder is real), new people and a morning schedule that did not end up in a fun, active day at the beach.  Getting him going got more difficult.  By the first teacher-parent meeting in December, they brought up the subject.  He was disruptive in class.  By then we had forgotten what his doctor said 5 years earlier.  So he was diagnosed as ADHD.      Competitive swimming was his saving grace.  All though High School he continued to swim with his competetive team most days after or before school and with the beach club team in addition in the summer.  Some records he set lasted years.  After high school he became a professional ocean guard. Now getting close to retirement.  But always had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork.      He, and his wife, incidentally, is now having the health problems that I just have just gotten rid of.  I had forgotten what the doctor said to us 60 years earlier, bout Celiac Disease being hereditory.  He is starting to listen, but still in denial.  Loves his pizza.  At 63 I had arthritis, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, enlarged prostate, alcoholism and I got dumber as the years passed.  They all are gone with gluten free and vitamin replenishment. My wife had allergies, endometriosis, fertility problems and miscarriages.  She passed 18 years ago. Sorry for the long story.  Reminds me of a Joni Mitchell song.  "L've looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose, but still somehow, it's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life, at all"

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.
