A friend of mine (who's a vp or sumpin') cleaned out her closet and gave me two huge piles of clothes. Sadly the really snazzy one were too big, but they went to another friend of ours so we're all happy. I'm gonna spend the next several hours sitting on my floor sorting through my 'new' clothes and shoes. :)

Where is y'all?? I got home late from my date, went shopping for a housewarming gift, and now I'm home drinking Bard's and eating Snyder's. I feel so ordinary. :D :D

Went to another concert with our son. This was an Australian Cover Band that does Pink Floyd and is endorsed by David Gilmore (they played at his 50th birthday). They were awesome.

What's up with people talking loudly through an entire concert??!!!!!! This is the second one we went to in two weeks where it happened. The last one I nicely asked the guys to shut up and they did. This time I t was afraid I wouldn't be as nice so I didn't say anything. Wound up chatting with the guy during intermission. He still talked loudly through the rest of the concert. People a few rows down left early so I just moved my seat.

We got home really late because my son was "sexiled" from his room yet again and he was pissed off, sick with the flu and all of hs friends were busy. We stayed as late as we could until my hubby felt he had to start driving or would fall asleep on the way home. I feel bad for Tony (our son) because this happens frequently but mommy can't fix things anymore. He's going to confront his roommate tomorrow.

Sorry you were lonely. We're back!! biggrin.gif

Been changing clocks. :blink:

Hubby went to work an hour early..... *snicker* :rolleyes:

Hi Oscar! My favorite muppet! Can I keep him? Please?

Have a blast, Leese :D

Sills--just got home. My son's next door neighbors have adopted the sweetest puppy--she is a mix of toy poodle and dachshund (Doxypoo er sumpin like that)....anyway, she is the cutest wee thing! I just love her. She's 6 1/2 pounds and will only grow to 10 they are told.

Ate way too much sugar this weekend but had a great time so WIH :P

And it seems he is an infrequent, although welcome, visitor here.

Unusual Sunday today. The team member who was scheduled to work was sick, so I worked in the store today.

Gads. So not ready for another Monday. Did a ton of laundry yesterday (the 'new' clothes) and I still have a ton more. I have to go to work dressed up today 'cause I just can't deal with putting on my jeans again without running them through the wash.

This weekend going to a show with BE on Friday, a girls birthday dinner on Saturday, Picasso on Sunday, may have to call in sick on Monday, 'cept I have class so I guess I'll go in anyway.

Another beautiful day here. Going to be 70 and sunny.

Gotta go to the grocery. Gonna make stew and they didn't have celery yesterday. :unsure:

That's the breaking news from Kansas. Wondering if I can put a slash thru the wheat stalks on my car license plate ( like the gluten-free celiac symbol).

70 - I'm jealous (although the snow is beautiful). Klark didn't clean off my car (I think because he wants me to stay home today). I hope he'll do it tonight and pull our cars into the garage. This is our first house with a two car garage and a fireplace.

Enjoy the weather and put the slash mark thru the wheat stalks - what's the worse that can happen?

Loey (Brrrrr)

So phunny! I sometimes buy the store brand organic milk (when they're out of Horizon), and it has a big wheat stalk on the carton. WIH? :P

Thinking about sending a letter to the state if I could figure out who to send it to. Why should I have a picture on my car of something that will poison me? By this logic, CA should have an earthquake symbol on theirs. Or we could put meth lab pics on them! What about the Pilsbury dough boy? A Big Mac and fries? Tornados or hurricanes?

I'm on a roll!

Thanks Emel, it opened for me - what a hoot!

I would not have wheat on me car,either, but you can't have the earthquake symbol for CA - we've got that one all tied up. Still quivering and trembling on a regular basis :blink:

Jess's weekend makes me pheel a bit tired too, but it sure sounds like BE has become part of the furniture at her place :)

I went to the airport over the weekend to pick up my sister, and got all tangled up with the Hilary Clinton motorcade which had traffic backed up for miles in every direction, and took forevvah to clear once she phinally made it to the airport and took opphh. But we got back at her and turned on a perfectly foul weekend of weather with two inches of rain and a cold southerly off the ice. The umbrellas protecting her got blown inside out. Her perfect coiffure as she stepped off the plane became a straight blownback windsweep in one second flat. When she departed she was wearing an Alice band :lol:

Yesterday sis and I had a great lunch at a restaurant called Strawberry Fare with one of our more delightful cousins we had not seen in ages. The food was fantastic, substitutions were freely allowed, our waitress was extremely gluten knowledgeable, 80% of the items on the menu were available gluten and/or casein free, they bake their own gluten-free bread, and we could relax and have fun. Lunch lasted until 3:30 p.m and then we went shopping on Victoria St. which has some very trendy, higher end shops. Good afternoon!!! :) A busy week is planned with a trip to the A&P Show (think county fair, but add in zillions of animals because this is a farming province - also sheep dog trials and stuph like that; our dad used to be a dog trialler so we have a fond appreciation for the border collie) and then a lunch at the home of friends of sis later in the week which may be a bit fraught - will have lots of backup stuph in the car.

Liphe in the shaky isles has not been particularly psillie of late but I have been reading along and staying current. Took sis on a drive through town - it's like driving a gymkhana around all the cones, fenced off areas, demolition zones, and it changes from day to day just to keep you on your toes. My favourite kitchen store is just bare earth :o , but I did find them relocated just a few doors down the street :) And at least my bakery survived intact so the staph of liphe is available.

Hi Jess,

I'm going to lay down for a while but wanted to say hello before I did that since I saw that you were online. I hope you're seeing BE tonight. I LOVE living vicariously. Don't get me wrong - Klark is the best but we've been together for 22 years (married 19) and there's nothing like new love (yes, I said love).

Yep. We all said how great it was to be together with people with whom you have a shared past and heritage - you just pick up where you left off last time :D

I did lamb (this being NZ) shanks in my crockpot on Sunday, with just onion, garlic (lots) and herbs, and some 48-hour homemade beef stock (no tomatoes for me, no red wine for sis) and yes, they (and the smells) were heavenly too. Enjoy your pot roast :)

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
