You have to. Have your friend you help out take it. :) Do you have a camera phone? They're not the greatest, but that's how my avatar was taken. Morgan took it. Adam took pics of just me, but he hasn't emailed them to me yet.

Hi everyone,

Checking in from my desk at work. I'm sufficiently recovered from my surgery to go back to school (I'm a teacher and athletic director) and am now here on my day off catching up on all kinds of stuff that didn't get done while I was laying on the couch and sitting at my computer at home.

Susan - sorry your hair is too short, at least it will grow! And I'm sure short is better than green!

Hey Richard - I see you peeking in here again. We're all going to tell your wife!

Hi Liz--

Glad things are getting back to normal for you. Hope your desk isn't too full of things to take care of--I know they have a way of building up fast :)

I was just taking a head count... not quite 40 of you in here...False advertising if you ask me. <_<

Anybody own a pair of these?

No, it's because we're 40 something years old, so there are two reasons you don't fit in here!!! Now, be a good boy and go play with your Power Rangers .... it's pretty clear you don't actually work!!!! LOL

Those pantyhose are hysterical. I'm so glad no pantyhose is the syle, I hate them!

Carla, I love your avatar. Everytime I look at your husband it makes me laugh. Was he just being cheesy for the camera?

Patti - thanks. My job-share partner kept the desk organized and kept things going pretty well. But I have zillions of things to do with trying to get progress reports out and organize the upcoming basketball season.

First you want me to say something, now you want me to skidaddle...geessh.

I'm actually hard at work today, I'm catching up from 4 days of goofing off...or is it that I'm catching up on my goofing off....sometimes I can't tell the difference :huh:

Yea, he usually makes that silly face in a picture!! Of course, even though I know he does, it still always surprises me! His Sam's Club card even had that face, but it was of the more "I'm annoyed" variety, but still the big eyes. Cashiers would laugh when he'd give it to them! He made silly faces in most of the pictures taken of him as a little kid, too, so I guess you could say he's never grown up!

my own hair (to cover up

the white-morticia streaks)

The Rach I am referring to in the avatar is a beautiful young girl who passed away this weekend from cancer and her mother requested that her friends wear purple today since it was her favorite color, so we are all wearing it to celebrate her life. :)

I haven't been over to DS much, but I've seen her picture. She was very young wasn't she. I didn't realize she had passed away or was that sick. :(

Susan, do you have a web cam? Or, do you have a normal camera and a scanner? You could take a picture of yourself......Susie (my 14-year-old) does it all the time, just holds the camera out with one arm.......don't know how she manages, but takes nice pics of herself that way (you know, narcissistic teenagers :rolleyes: ).

A few years ago I had my hair cut, hated it because I thought it was way too short. Now I look at the pics from then, and think it was beautiful, and always cut it that length now! So, in reality it might be perfect, and you're not used to it. Let us be the judge!

Nope, all girl. I just grew up with 5 brothers so I don't communicate like a girl.

hey everybody....I hate my hair :angry: SO NO, no picture, not yet....will take a couple of months to grow some length - - am feeling hideous - - thought it was good yesterday, but it was just all fluffy and weird from her extremely arduous blow-dry - - might have to throw some toner on it to tone down the highlights in one area.....how taxing - - - may call this crazy girl who did it and charged me an ARM and a LEG - -

I took some photos on my camera phone - deleted all - will not post them! I don't care how mad you guys get - - - :P Ursula I don't have a scanner- - if I did, I would scan only the gorgeous photos! :P

Richard - you're SO in touch with your feminine side!! Went to the gynecologist (this should scare our one lurking male) :lol: and she is putting me on the pill, holy cow (has not been a good experience for me in the past - cried every day) and TOTALLY OFF sugar (what???? :o:o:o how will I survive?) off caffeine, onto B6 supplements.....testing thyroid, hormones, other stuff. we'll see what happens....thinks I am NOT in MENopause or peri-MENopause in any way - - that was good news.......I am just tired of being SO tired and so.....blah....I miss my fun and extremely goofy self.....

Donna - OMG I had a chocolate Bumble Bar today...quite good but I think I like the original flavor better...have all the ingredients now and am going to try and make my own... :D

see you guys - - Cecile - it's our big night again, rolls around once a week - that's right, Gray's Anatomy - -

Hi Jestgar and Alicia! welcome....

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
