ARCHIVED The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

As a complete non-sequitur, it's common to name your freezers in science, and ours are named after superheroes. Catwoman, Wonder Woman, etc. The double freezer is Batman and Robin, two entities, yet joined together. I forget why they didn't get named The Wonder Twins, but there was a discussion about it. My freezer got named The Punisher.... -

ARCHIVED "Super Sensitive" Celiacs.....
Jestgar replied to jerseyangel's topic in Super Sensitive People
I think the answer is different for everyone. I can tell within minutes if I've eaten gluten or soy, but what my body does with it has gotten much less dramatic. You might find that your responses get less over time. All you can do is keep gluten-free and hope for the best. -

I just bought another musical Open Original Shared Link a scene: -
a "personal photo" only shows on your profile. If you want the picture to show above your name when you post it has to also be loaded as an avatar. Could that be the problem?
-
No minimum post number. It might be that the picture you tried to load was too big. It's supposed to say something like "upload successful, transferring you or click here if you don't want to wait". Did it give you a message, or just send you back to your control page?

YAWN!! I am so tired. Got to bed at midnight...and here I am.....5 hours later.....swilling coffee and hoping for some sensibility from caffeine. It was very fun. Bright colors. Music. Dancing. My date ditched me halfway through so he could catch an earlier ferry, which was good, since we'd pretty much run out of things to say by the end of intermission... -

Sadly, I do not own a snuggie. And, since I'll be up about 4 hours past my bedtime, AND, since I was awakened in the middle of the night last night by a cat fight, had I a snuggie, I'm certain I would nap my way through the entire play, complete with snrk sounds and much fidgeting (how do you spell that? ). So all in all, less comfy in the dress shoes,... -

Gads. Boss is annoying again. Hate when that happens. How can I possibly provide all that data he wants when I'm trying to keep up with what goes on here? I suppose, like Em, I should take advantage of the slow days. :poutyface: -

ARCHIVED Celiac Disease May Cause Gallbladder Attacks

That would be true. And actually I think it's more than one. Other people are more up on this than I am, but many people have posted of gall bladder issues. -

Mice actually prefer to mate with mice who are more dissimilar at the HLA loci. It's diversity that gives you greatest defense against pathogens. Just follow your nose... Open Original Shared Link -

I'm writing a grant for the theater group I'm involved with. The granting organization wants you to own a building or something that you can name after this guy. We don't own any structures so I'm proposing that we build a prop that will be in every show. The guy will be listed as a cast member and have an increasingly long bio. -

Gads. Got new glasses. Bifocals (OH SHUT UP!) It's like being on a roller coaster every time I move my head. By the end of the day I'm either gonna have a stiff neck from not moving, or be puking my lunch out from motion sickness. -

:lol: Lots. I don't think anyone in my family actually uses our given names. Jenner-poo Sis Dot Jean-Jean-Jellybean Lady Jane hmm. Have to think on more. Those were (and are) the most common. My poor sister became "The Dreaded Leafstalker". We still call her "Leaf" or Leafo" -

The dizzy spells could be related to the bleeding. If you lose a lot of blood suddenly you can lower your blood pressure and your body can be slower to adapt to postural changes. S o every time you change from lying to sitting to standing you might not be changing your blood pressure quickly enough to compensate and you'll get a brief dizzy spell. Be a... -

Jestgar replied to ERR's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
This, I think, is the best plan. When it comes to something as personal as loving someone, all the studies in the world won't have the same impact as one person saying "gluten changes me". Maybe your wife will be reminded that she fell in love with you, and it's only the gluten that she can't live with. -
