I thought you were coming to gluten-free colonize Colorado with me? :(

when we lived in the Sacramento area, they were talking about splitting off from the US.

Yep the split in two thing failed...back then our economy was very strong and was something like 8th biggest economy when compared with other countries....that was before our state went broke ;)

I could live at elevation in Colorado : )

Ahh, I'm planning a big move to Ohio to be near my relatives.  The wonderful gluten-free island kingdom doesn't seem to have materialized yet, so Ohio it is.  I don't know about Kansas tho Crayon.  It's kinda close to the Yosemite super-volcano area for my taste.  Deep fried celiacs anyone?  Plus they have those big-foot things in Colorado I think.  Of course Ohio is sorta close to the big East coast quake they say is overdue too.  Dang, where is that island kingdom?

 

And yes, Crayon,  I notice them!  Wink Wink! :)

Nothing like an overplayed song that gets stuck in your head to turn you into a crazy person with a bad attitude in a snap. :lol: :lol:

When my friend was visiting, we were both reading and enjoying the sunshine. That song came on the radio.

 

When it was over, my very calm and usually very upbeat pal said "oh thank gawwwdd....I f--ing hate that song!". 

 

We both burst out laughing at the thought that she was actually irritated by someone singing about being happy.

 

Hubs hates it too. 

 

I don't get it. I like it-- and turn I it up loudly when I am alone in the car--and sing at the top of my lungs. 

 

And anytime anyone else sees me moving and shaking in the car at a red light, they smile and start waving at me. (either that or they think

I am having a seizure of some sort) 

 

One time, driving to Florida, somewhere in the middle of Georgia, i was dancing in my seat to some energetic song and  gesticulating like mad

doing the "swim"...pointing my arms all over the place, ...

and this car load of women (looked like a mom and her 4 girls) pulled up along side us and they started doing the same thing I was doing...it was hilarious!

 

That amused us all for about 10 miles until they had to take an exit. 

 

The hubs just shakes his head at me. What can I say? As Colleen says. I'm happy happy. 

 

Beats the shyte out of being miserable miserable. ^_^

Sounds like Ohio is going to get crowded!  :)  Visitors are welcome or maybe a meet-up somewhere.  I don't think there really is a Canfield in Ohio though.  Sounds like somewhere we toss our empty beers cans on Friday night.  Er, well, that's about anywhere we happen to be driving by tho.  Ever try to hit a road sign with a beer bottle?  That can fill up a Friday or Saturday night drive with fun.  We have some hills and a little crick with minnows and snapping turtles to play with.  And the coyotes and boars and bears are moving in too they say.

 

I wonder where Oscar is?  He always seems so happy and cheerful.  I thot sure he would weigh in on this thread and let us know how happy it makes him.

No prob with a DD Leesur.  A DD might actually help the aim! :)  The beer throwing was 40 years ago, they might have come up with some more interesting things to do by now.

 

If you all aren't sure you are happy, you get happy by traveling to zombo.com.  There you can do anything.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
