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.

Post rollovers are counted every 100 posts.........mysterious things seem to happen at those times. My first one was a major sink back-up, and a horrendous mess when hubby tried to unclog it. Then there was the one when my dog got what I suspect was e-coli and had the runs for 4 days...................I needed to pull up that old carpet, anyway. Phluids come in many forms :ph34r:.............BEWARE!!!!!!!!

Actually, if you go back to around page 500, you'll see some of the sample questions posted, and the proper method of response.......... :lol:

Jeesh--you could hear a pin drop in here...... :P

A Sillie fer ya'll--

It was entertainment night at the Senior Center . Claude the hypnotist

exclaimed: 'I'm here to put you into a trance; I intend to hypnotize each

and

every member of the audience.'

The excitement was almost electric as Claude drew a beautiful antique

pocket watch from his coat 'I want you each to keep your eye on this

antique

watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six

generations'

He

began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting,

'Watch the watch, watch the watch, and watch the watch...'

The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light

gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the

swaying

watch, until, suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell

to

the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

'CRAP! ' said the Hypnotist.

It took three days to clean up the Senior Center .. B)

This would explain the heinOus leaking of phluids from yer ceiling. Oh...you gotta watch out when a rollover is approaching ;) We need to have a printout that lets pholks know just what to expect at such a time. Such an eventphull week and this sort of basic sillie premise gets phorgotten--we must not let this happen!! :lol:

Maybe Curly Lisa could run off a phew copies at work in the school office :D I'm sure they wouldn't mind :P

Of course, I would have called my plumber by now--what with the cutie-patootie face and the magnificent ballcock :rolleyes: Come on now, he did install one in me toilet.....don't look at me like that B)

:lol::lol: OMG......Large guffaw, Susie, as you have introduced a new word form into our lexicon........I know that we have been freely using the term "ballcock", but you have left out the preceeding article - -"his ballcock", "that terrific ballcock", to leave it as an inactive verb, a state of being......Yer plumber has BALLCOCK, man"........

I shall start using this expression liberally, as it is fantastic.

Gad, but my dentist has got real ballcock......he's gonna stay in practice until he's eighty, I think..... :lol::rolleyes:

It's so true... . . ...I was totally unprepared for my 3000 rollover last week, as there was so much going on, and when my daughter came running outside to tell me about sudsy water coming out of the bottom of the dishwasher, I went racing for the laptop in sudden realization, the kids staring in confused wonder as I rushed by the kitchen..... . . . :lol:

Judy - sorry to hear about the leaky ceiling . . . put I'm sorry to say, tis to be expected. Emily and Tom just past 3000 also . . . I wonder what happened to them??

A quiet day indeed . . .

I'm headed to the pedGI later with me son. He's suppose to be gaining weight faster (catching up) or the doc is going to start testing him fer stuff. He IS gainging faster now but I don't know if it's fast enuff. He came down for breakfast in the most lightweight clothing that he owns . . . I'm tempted to have him wear jeans and a sweatshirt for the weighin . . . it's only 85 here.

Crap . . . :lol: :lol:

Yes, Janet, good luck wif DS! Kripes, get him into competitive swimming......he'll start eating 12,000 calories a day, apparently! (perhaps that's only if you're gunning fer eight golds)........ :rolleyes:

All right, Sillies, need some crucial advice, here. Several years ago, for a reason that I cannot recall, I had to get a pill down Bryce's mouth (our big male tabby). I managed it without incident, I am sure, because I remember little about it. Well, I now have to get two pills down his throat, two weeks apart, and two pills down Tess's throat (our little fiesty female). I briefly tried with Bryce. No way. I haven't even attempted this yet with Tess. Gad.........

I know for certain it is a two-person job. Two adults.

So, how do I magically get this to happen???? The secret, please! :huh::rolleyes:

Hi Julie :D

Ok Em, I have a suggestion fer yer cat pill pickle. Get some of those soft kitty treats (now, be careful because most have wheat--you could use plastic gloves....) and using the treat like Play Dough, wrap/mold it completely around the pill--this trick worked for Allo years ago when he had to take medication for somephin or other. :) He ate it willingly. No scratches, torn arms or nuthin! :lol:

Lisa Mentor

Emily, this might be of help:

Judith,

The page number is straight down the page from here--it's now #1257. When it gets to 1299, this means that whomever has the phrist post on page 1300 is the new Queen or King. The monarchy changes every 100 pages--a written rule of Sillyville ;)

Your post count, when it hits a milestone number (this varies), can signal a phluid onslaght.....could be personal phluids :ph34r: or household, or whatever.

You Silly! Royal ascention happens to the person who is the first poster on a 100 flipover page - - from page 1299 to page 1300, for example. There's a new monarch every 100 pages.

Look out on page 1299............. :rolleyes:

Still haven't tried this again.....cats are long gone, hiding outside after their vet appointment. Don't blame them...........

Got thumbs up from the pedGI . . . don't have to go back until January. He has high hopes that DS will be on the 3% growth curve by that time . . . yeah, we were pretty far off.

I sent an email to Sarah this morning asking her to check in . . . have not gotten a response yet.

Time to send the yeti goat to Turkey for Nikster.

A benefit motorcycle ride? Phab! What's the cause, Lisa?

It's called Loop for Life, and they shut down I-465 around Inpls........and get a police escort. They raise money foe several charities, including St. Mary's Child Center, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, and Ryan White's Infectious Disease Center. Last year there was about 3,000 riders and they raised $102,000.

It took three days to clean up the Senior Center .. B)

Oh yeah.....right ;)

Do you know that part of the kids' school supply list is a ream of paper? They are REALLY stingy with paper <_<

It would have to be in sign language font to pull it off :D ............was gonna try to show an example, but evidently, you'd all have to have the download in order to see it <_<

      @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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb
    • trents
      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
