oh dear gaaaaaaaaaaawd Richard....between this and the Phhhhhhabio photo, you are killing me!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

ninja gardening....hmmm....lots of digging in hardpan clay, and my back is killing me...maybe I DO need Fabio but he looks too much like a sissy man to do the digging - might get a scratch or ruin his manicure :lol:

Well, you didn't mention you were looking for help in the garden I wouldn't have sent Fabio or Gary (he's the male Glenn Close) Steven hasn't seen his toes in a while so he's not much help either....

Maybe this guy could help. He looks like a hard worker.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Gary's teeth...it's his head that is all wrong...I think it is caving in from all the baking powder he snorted...

I figured they would beat up Fabio first... :rolleyes:

I'm hoping they would scare off the attack geese. D*mned things, I've got feathers everywhere!

Richard, are you referring to the auxigro protective geese :blink::lol:

Beverly- love the picture of you and your sweet dog :)

Karen I love your kitty picture too, hysterical. Bad hair day for sure!

Melannen, so good to see your smiling face :)

Yes Carla, we must see the braces. How long do you have to have them on for?

They say about two years ... but if I'm good with my rubber bands, it can shorten the time to about 18 months. I think I'm going to be pretty obsessive about wearing my rubber bands!! The system my ortho uses is www.damonbraces.com. He won't use the white ones because the brackets fail, so I have the stainless steel ones.

At first glance I thought that link said "demon braces" :lol::lol:

That shouldn't be too bad, hopefully it will go fast for you. When I was younger I had to have braces, twice, my teeth kept shifting, the little devils. Not fun, but I got through it.

True story...2 summers agoI reshingled my roof on what turned out to be the hottest week of the year. I burn easily, so I didn't take my shirt off (sorry ladies). I worked ffrom sun-up to sun-down for like 4 straight days (alone :( ) at the end of the first day when I was taking a shower the water hit my...er..."lower" back and I just about jumped thru the ceiling. I had burned my upper "ars" because my shirt rode up and my jeans went south...talk about uncomfortable... :blink:

:lol: My true story... was going to fly to see all my old buddies and wanted to look good... so tanned ALOT... and wore my usual bathing suit (similar to what that constuction worker was wearing) :ph34r: but wanted to do the... ha ha look I am so much tanner then you... so used oil and was out on the island... fell asleep tummy down.... I couldn't even hardly sit on the plane... and when I got there had to wear sun dresses and nothing else...ohhh and I did get a ha ha but it was on me.... :lol:

My cousin (a flabby 250lb. male) heard somewhere (in the 1980's) that you could use mayonaise to tan, so he slathered himself in Miracle Whip and sizzled all afternoon and smelled like garbage for about 3 days!

Right now I think they are demon braces ... I can't eat anything! I'm supposed to eat protein and veggies, so I guess I'll be living on scrambled eggs and avocodoes! What's that going to do to my digestive system??!!

Ewwww!! That reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer slathers himself w/butter and goes tanning :P

Do they just hurt? Or are you being a good girl and following the rules? I was so bad when I had mine, I think I broke every rule in the book...3 times :rolleyes::D

I hope they start feeling better soon! Mine were always really sore for about 3 days after I had them adjusted

So sorry they hurt Carla :( . I guess you could cook the heck out of the veggies and then puree them, kind of like baby food, brace food.

and..."Serenity NOW!!"

All of Kramer's "big ideas" cracked me up. The one with the stronger shower head :lol: or the man bra :lol: Or was that George's dad that came up with that one??

my favorite - Kenny Rogers' Roasters, right under Kramer's apt.....and the sign blowing out at the end, Kramer in the bed with his chicken, and his plaintive cry: "...Kenny? Kenny....." :lol::lol:

the manzier - invented by Mr. Costanza, I think.....is that the one where they're playing pool with their pants off (a la The Maestro), and Estelle Costanza walks in? :lol: maybe a different one......

the manzier (or the bro) appears in the episode about the doorman. Mrs. Costanza walks in on Kramer helping Mr. Costanza try it on :lol:

Doesn't he get a tan, artificial tan, from the light? Or something like that? Kramer is my favorite character.

No soup for you!!

Who can forget George running from the bathroom to the phone, with his pants around his ankles, falling face first on the floor--and Jerry walks in and says "and you want to be my new latex salesman!"

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
