    well sure. If you put it that way it's gonna sound a little odd.

    Sadly, no longer queen. I am mere coprolite under Patti's feet.

    ARCHIVED How Do We Make This Better?

    Jestgar replied to cupp125's topic in Doctors

    I don't think you'll be able to educate the whole medical community. Big organizations are hard to change, and even doctors with celiac disease have a hard time educating there peers. What you can do is start educating yourself, and try to find a doctor who is willing to learn. As your doctor becomes more aware of how to best treat you, you start recommending...

    I had to look up "sickness behavior" People are studying the interaction of inflammatory cytokines and neural-controlled behaviors. (yes, they're studying why you get grumpy when your sick.) There's a great review written by some guy who made continual use of his "thesaurus of big words" that says: "Last but not the least, the activation of this...

    I don't know where Scott finds these people to write articles. In the first paragraph the guy misleads you. I didn't read the whole original article, just the abstract, but in it the authors clearly state "It is suggested that the increased LPS translocation may mount an immune response and thus IRS activation in some patients with MDD and may induce specific...

    In the most subtle, unexpected way, she has done it again. We have ALL been Patti'd.

    Don't know how I missed this phrase the first time. It pretty much sums it all up. Hang in there <insert name, because we all deal with this to some degree every now and again>. When you do find a partner, Tom, she'll be someone with true depth, and your life will be so much richer for it. (And she'll presumably be someone willing to deal...

    You always need eyeshadow

    Yes, thank you for that! How else would we have learned about Nikki's raucous relative?

    Maybe she's not really your daughter I'm sorry 30% error rate!!!! WTH!! No lab should have an error rate that high-ever.

    I think that most people in general just want to know they're understood. When your parents (or anyone) says something you think is obvious just assume what they're saying is "I care about you". Then smile and say thank you.

    Just what is 'whelm' and why do we feel bad when we're over it?
  13. Jestgar
    :lol: Spreadsheet!! Be sure to include location.
  14. Jestgar
    Seconded by the Oracle. What else do we need?

    :lol: Can I have a party for Patti's dad too?? It'll be like the synchronized "lights out" event. We'll have an international Patti/Emily parental unit party.

    :lol: Years ago, when my parents first got internet, I was talking to my mom one day and she said something like: it's great, you can just put in the ingredients you have and search and you can find all kinds of recipes... but don't ever type in 'chicken breasts'...

    Heaven forbid you should keep them in the basement since most of them are probably allergic to mold as well. And do be sure to stock up on the toilet paper. Of course, if they're at your house be sure to outfit each one with a hose and shovel. I made an unusual discovery today. If you accidentally leave the "m" out when typing in homedepot...

    mmmm, your dad's urologist is young enough to have watched the shows? That would give me pause. I like my specialists to be at least my age, although I guess at some point that's no longer possible.
  19. Jestgar
    Oh thank heavens, I thought we'd lost him (the yeti, not your dad). It's nice to hear that he feels a sense of social responsibility and visits the bedbound. Or maybe he feels (as I suspect most of us do) that your dad is part of our family and we all wish we could visit him. Knowing what I do of your dad through you I can't imagine that he would find it...
  20. Jestgar
    yes, but that has value too.

    It's so encouraging when young minds are excited to learn new things.
  22. Jestgar
    pretty sure that if you ask the Irish, its shat
  23. Jestgar
    oh yeah!! And a slightly deranged yeti (where is he by the way?) We could initially distract them by asking them to compute the carb content of a coconut laden swallow. Or calculate the average weight of a silly's head and refuse to have dealings with any gendarme who possess a lesser cabbage.

    uh,Tom, the goal is to find someone else to shine the sceptre and crown the jewels.... hhhmmm, 10-15 silies storming the entire french army? It'll require some planning. We could get them all drunk on absinthe and then take over. Or we could go to Mt Airy, drink the absinthe ourselves and talk each other into believing we're in a...
