She lives up in the Yukon, so that territory can deal with her driving infractions. One should think that the Alaska Highway would be the safest thoroughfare to place a hapless driver -- long stretches of straight, flat road, reasonable speed limit -- she has, however, managed to take out guard rails and First Nations elders portaging along the shoulder.. . . . ..

She rarely takes either of our cars out, now........and the kids wear full hockey gear when they do head out with her.

:huh:

:lol:

Maybe your daughter could drive when they are out together? MIL can wear the pads!

Went to my bro's house for Christmas eve. Their friends the Jo(h)ns were there already helping set up dinner. Jon looks at me and says "John was baking all day making gluten free lady fingers for your tiramisu" and John looks over from the sink and smiles. :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Hope those of you who do Christmas Eve had a lovely celebration. :) Hugs and hearts to all! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Merry Christmas!

Cooper, the dog, went to visit my mom yesterday. She really liked seeing him. He went in & put his head over her lap & greeted her before he greeted my dad. He always favors my dad as he is the one that feeds & walks him when they dog- sit. We went out to the lobby area to sit & he walked by my Mom's chair & lay down part of the time by her feet. She kept saying, " He usually favors your dad. Why is he paying so much attention to me?". He was quite a hit with the male nurses, too. I think he really cheered her up.

well, no earthquakes, but I also slept poorly. Had a storm blow through and took out the power for a couple hours so I used the opportunity to have a wee nap on the couch. :P

Having a lovely low-key day reading Harry Potter and snuggling kitties.

I started reading my new David Baldacchi hair-raiser - hub knows what to get me :wub: I live such a dull life I love to read about the craziness and gore that I could be surrounded with, but am not :D (Well, except for the detestable creep who raped a five-year-old tourist little girl from Belgium - where do these creeps crawl out from??) :unsure::angry: And at Christmas, no less!!! A pox on all paedophiles!!! And a life sentence, except New Zealand does not do that - we are too enlightened :wacko:

Sorry, resume your Christmas joy :rolleyes:

Mmmmmmm.....the day after Christmas.....love it!

Just chillin' in front of the TV, crossword puzzle, leftovers, and now getting ready to cuddle up with a book.

Oh....and the best part......hit the after Christmas sales this morning with a few gift cards :D

Christmas never fails to stress me out, even though I have greatly reduced my expectations of myself, so I'm always glad when it's over. Only bought a few gifts for family......nothing for each other.No big dinner...just munchies.

This Christmas was extra special, though, with little Lexi, just turned 2....her first Christmas that she can really express herself. We got her a tricycle and wrapped it up. When she saw the big present she put her widdle hands to her cheeks and said "Oh my!". And when she opened it she danced around shouting "A cycle! A cycle!"

Doesn't get much better than that :wub:^_^

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas :)

Well, I'm late to the party but wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

Just got back from Florida tonight (Christmas at my MIL's). Our drama consisted of me mailing almost all of our gifts for the kids to FL ahead of time because it would be too hard to take everything on the plane. The package was suppose to arrive on the 19th of December. It showed up about 3pm on the 24th. Gah!!!

Patti, did I know you had a Tyler Kitteh? What a beauty!!

Karen, how sweet is your Cooper??

Rache, hang tough . . . we got yer back.

Jess, impressive international contacts . . . and good luck with that grad school stuff. (ps, your nuts.)

Lo, here's to a better year, huh? Keep up the good attitude, it's inspiring.

Nik, where the hell you been? . . . don't forget to come back and slap us around on the 1st.

Shroom, just keep hanging on . . . they make plastic wine glasses, you know.

Em, really? Didn't we tell you once to bubble wrap the house?. . . or was that the car?

. . . and everyone else . . . a big hello. :wub:

Wavy "Hi" Janet! Santa came through with your gifts on time! ;) Hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family. AND to everyone else.

We had a great holiday and fun to watch the 9 year old and 2 year old enjoy Santa. The nine year old is waaaaayyyy to smart to give up her notion of Santa. ;)

Wish all a happy and healthy new year and I hope my girls make very smart choices in this new year. :D

Put this in the file of "He doesn't have a clue":

Less than two days after joining Twitter, media mogul Rupert Murdoch appears to have had his first brush with tweeting-before-thinking, after suggesting that the British have too many holidays for a "broke country".

Murdoch - who joined Twitter less than 48 hours ago and already has almost 40,000 followers - quickly deleted the message, but it was preserved by some Twitter users and quickly spread around the website.

"Maybe Brits have too many holidays for broke country!" Murdoch, who is holidaying on the Caribbean holiday island of Saint Barthelemy, wrote about 6am Australian time.

Absolutely no comment :blink:

FIRST Robotics season has started! It is a basketball type of game, so that part will be easy to understand. They were given an XBox with a Kinect that they can use for part of the game. I'm glad I don't have to figure all this out!

I was so hoping the game this year would be a bionic digestive system! I guess that could be quite messy. :unsure:

I believe that most of us on here in fact DO HAVE bionic digestive systems.. . .....destroying, with super-human strength, all things in their paths..... <_<

SO. I have a HUGE, life-altering announcement to make. Just yesterday, the family has been informed that.. . . ......

MIL is.......

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
