SNIPPY RECEPTIONIST

An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients.

As he approached the receptionist's desk,.......

For a second I thought you were going to tell this one...........

An 86 year old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The receptionist said, "Hello, sir. Can you please tell me why you are here to see the doctor today?"

"There's something wrong with my d!ck," he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said,"You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you." he said.

The receptionist replied, "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the doctor in private."

The man repied, "You shouldn't ask people questions in a room full of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.

The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.

The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, sir?"

"I can't p!ss out of it," he replied.

Mess with seniors and you're gonna lose!

Keggling is an old word for bowling :P

I'm old. :huh:

I knew dat!.....I guess that makes me old too :ph34r:

Three old ladies were sitting side by side on patio chairs at their retirement home reminiscing. The first lady recalled from years past shopping at their local Piggly Wiggly and demonstrated with her hands the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.

The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and cheaper also, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for a pennie a piece.

The third old lady remarked, "I can't hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy you're talking about."

Hi Sillies-

a nice evening for a walk!

SusieQ we missed you :):):) glad youre back!

Jen and I took Landen for a walk to the duck pond. We tried ways to scheme the beach getaway. Jen, Becky and Landen were all planning to go too. We might skip the Wildwood beach and go to one maybe closer to home. We will see, Ocean City MD is about the same distance that Wildwood/Cape May is for us. There is Sea Side Heights, but last time I was there it was errmm-uhmmm Shady!

So another thing we talked about is our neighbors, as you guys know we were so happy when the ghetto boys were evicted in March. In May, we got new neighbors....now I am not trying to be judgemental, we have many arabian people who live in our community...but these two are different....we think they are bad news! First they are under a corporate rental, but the guy never works, always home. They will not talk to anyone, the girl he is with looks about 15, he is nearing 30ish. They are always fighting.... but the strange thing is the cars, always a different car, sometimes they have it for a week sometimes two, we just found out they are renting a car. John saw the papers on the front seat. They always exchange cars in the overnight hours. Last night they came home with a BMV convertible. This evening a Toyota Camry.....very odd. Jen's dog, has barked at them since Day 1. She literally goes nuts when they come and go...growling and such. If Jen is in the backyard with the dogs and the man comes out, Ali the german shepard gets very protective and violent. The man has shaved his head, he kind of looks like a natzi or something, very scary. He stares at me when I go outside. My other neighbors have caught him sneaking around the vehicles out front....he always goes to the parking lot to make phone calls and he picks this dark area and hides himself. Oh and they litter they throw everything on the ground. Bags of fast food, fruit that rots, and he gets drunk and comes out and pukes in our parking lot.... Something is not right with these people....and we dont know what to do. No one believes us but something is fishy...what do you guys think???

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie 
    • thejayland10
      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
