How many GI docs does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, one to say it's not the bulb, it's the lamp that's the problem.

Another to try and convince you that the light is still on, you're

just not "seeing it".

And a third to say, "I know it's burned out, but I don't know what

to do to help you get it back on!"

So, in a sense, we're all left in the DARK!!!

OMG- Emily, your discourse skills are unparalled. You gotta Open Original Shared Link

Early in the writing, Gee defines Discourse as a combination of acts: saying, writing, doing, being, valuing, etc. He views Discourse as a social construct not dissimilar from Culture. In fact, in order to master a Discourse, one must go through an intensive process of enculturation or apprenticeship where there is a focus on social practices and supported interaction with people who have already mastered a Discourse.

Is that us or what? When youse a New Psilly all you think is :wacko::blink::huh:

Paddeigh's posting!

PATTI!!!!!!!!! did they get the sillies outta yer butt??????????????????????? :lol: (good one, Judy)

How ya pheelin????????

And there's a climbing spot up there called "Cirque of the Unclimbables" - - - drives me absolutely mad in its exoticism and scary-sounding remoteness :lol::ph34r:

Never mind.........just the useless thoughts of a convoluted Dingo Brain...... :lol:

<I am so weird>

OMG - now why didn't WE think of this?????????????? have GOT to come up wif some clever gimmick-y thing that people will pay such big bucks for...........

<could I put them Lilliputs on some of me dog's poop cairns in the grass?> :ph34r:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

YEAH,,,, PATTI IS BACK IN THE HOUSE

just glad it's over and you home safe and sound and hope resting.........and not cleaning ;)

Yay Patti- hope your bum is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Em--Did Jack have a nice time at camp? Come back wif any burning questions we can help with? :P

I'll tell you what he said to me today as we were coming back from the gym. From the back seat, I suddenly hear him say:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

<_<:rolleyes:

Jack had a terrific time at his camp. He and seven other ten year-old boys in his cabin......can you imagine what that bedtime was like? He had the most incredible bed-dirt-sand-lakewater hair when we picked him up - - like this:

. . . .. . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . .. .. . .. .. .@@@

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B)

And I am sure he grew a couple of inches in that week!

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol:

He told me the consensus there was a half-sized head. But I dunno.... .. . . . these are kids, reasoning that a miniscule head would be less noticeable than a huge one, but I think something the size of a grapefruit would be gettin' a lot of stares.......... :lol::rolleyes:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

:o:o:o THAT had to stop and make ya think...... :rolleyes:

Sounds like he had a great week--I'm so glad :D

M-m-mm....the head question.....a larger one would make fer a stiff neck, I'd reckon, but a smaller one.....I donno....the word pinhead comes to mind :lol: Have to ponder this one :lol:

I hope by "cool" you mean "neato" and not . . ."Egads, there's no insulation, there's no furnace, the door's 12 feet wide (and always open with random animals coming in and out). It's like living in a . . . barn!!"

random animals coming in and out :lol: that could be phun! <as long as the cairns aren't too big>

So Patti heard from Jess - that's good. I imagine she'll have some excellent ramblings coming up.....

Gah! You could arrange it to appear as though the Lilliputians are, in fact, assembling the turds into cairns..... . . making structures of worship, landmarks or sepulchral monuments. . .. .... .. :lol::lol:

Oh, brilliant!!!!!! Alas, these cairns are going to be quite a bit more odiferous and possibly less appealing than that clever photographer's forays into broccoli and cauliflower......have to find Lilliputians who are willing to put up with stinky phecal conditions and climbing onto cairns of Dingo scat.........where will I get those? Shall I put an ad on Craig's List? :unsure::lol:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

;) So glad to entertain you, Bevel!!!!!!!

Susie enjoying the cold snap?

<_< the "cold snap" is over already. Back to 100 this weekend.......... BAH!!!!!!!!! :angry: But it's been soooooooo nice these last three days........

Need to throw in some sort of endurance training as well . . . we get some phunnie visitors but they don't stay . . . hmmm . . . do we smell of wee smell of poop cairns smell??

*snort* :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol: Um, yeah, I don't think either option is going to be that great.......must ponder........

anyone heard from SArah?

Ok Psillies- I have decided to go to Turkey to look for our Knickeigh. Sigh,I wish. I'm leaving tomorrow a.m to go to the Big Apple where PICC will be inserted Friday a.m. 36 hours left without a tetherball in me arm. Ah- I'll live.

Tomorrow I am staying near the UN. Going to check it out- never been. Should I apply to be come an ambassador to Georgia? :blink: Oh, Canada!!!!!!!!!!! That would be cool!

Directly underneath each character is an italicized number. To enter the character, press and hold <alt> while typing the 3-digit number on the key pad. If the character number is less than 100, you must type leading zeros so that a three-digit number is entered, but most of these characters can simply be typed.

Ha! Can you imagine......Cattle cairns?? :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

Yes, there have been a number of potential Psillies who have wandered in, posted regularly, and then boom! Gone......Daughter of the Light, Erica, Colleen and the phunny crew from Makeupville........ .

I think the bigger question, however, is this: Why do we stay, and stay, and stay???! :lol::rolleyes:

Have a super time! Get yer PICC, then head out to Times Square.....a truly unbelievable place, isn't it? :)

At least with a pin head, you would be able to still buy hats, although they'd all be baby bonnets, I suppose. Not too much is gonna fit on something that's the size of a small beach ball. And that would certainly be the end of turtlenecks........ :rolleyes:

      Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter..I would say she has had tantrums since even before she was a year old. Challenging but not extreme. Lately, her behavior had gotten extreme. Just so angry, yelling mean hateful things, completely defiant, was causing a lot of disruption in our house, I felt like I had lost the little girl I knew, we were baffled.   Something just didn’t seem right to me, I have been researching and read about how gluten can sometimes affect kids behavior. I took her off gluten a week ago tomorrow. The next couple days after I took her off gluten the days were much easier. About 4 days in she had one of the worst days I’ve seen her have tho. I kept on with it tho and the past two days she has been angelic. Is this common that if it is gluten that she could still have a bad day like that a few days after taking her off of it? Should I try to reintroduce it at some point to see if it’s really a gluten intolerance? I’m not gonna lie, if she continues with the great behavior she’s had the past couple days I will probably be scared to reintroduce it but don’t want her to have to avoid gluten if it’s not necessary. Anyone have advice?

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.
