I'm going to do an informal poll . . . let me know what you think.

My aunt and uncle have a house on a lake in Tennessee (they live in New York). For the past 6 years we have vacationed in SC at the beach with another family. The thinking is to do something different this year. I volunteered to ask my aunt & uncle if we could use their lake house. Before I got around to asking, my uncle ended up in the hospital and had quintupal (?) bypass surgery. How long should I wait to ask? Does this sound bad?

Hey, Uncle Mike, how are you feeling? Can we use your lake house?

You're On!!!! It's nothing fancy but 'tis on the water. It's close to Knoxville. Where 'bouts did your dad live? Oh . . . just thought of something. I need to warn the other family that dogs have been there. They are allergic - all three of them (but only one somewhat severly). Blast it, I think that might be a deal breaker! You better hold of calling until I check. You could still call just to see how he's recovering from surgery . . .

Here's the weird/creepy part about it all. My dad and his sister both had heart attacks and bypass surgeries withing two weeks of each other. Their father died of a heart attack at the age of 48/49. A couple of years later my dad has a stroke (blocked carotid artery). A couple of weeks after that, his sister went in and explained her family health history. They scanned her (not sure what test that was) and found her carotid artery 97% blocked and told her she was a stroke waiting to happen. She had some preventive roter-rooting done. Now my uncle is the age that my dad was when he had his heart surgery . . . methinks it's time to get his carotid checked, too.

So I see this quoted in one of Susie's posts and say . . . Where the Hell did that come from? . . . I never saw that!!!!

Yes, Yes, everyone can come if this other family backs out as predicted. And if they don't . . . Well, dang, it's gonna get crowded but WTH. Now for the tough answers . . . his surgery was last Monday. He is still in the hospital with some complications - fibrillation issues. Same thing happened to my dad :ph34r:

I can call, too! Or my dad can, in any voice you choose...Dalai Lama, Russian spy, Ella Fitzgerald...I wanna see Lake Tennessee! And I"ll be sure to bring the Twister game, and we can decide on whether or not to involve the beer-balancing option...

You shall take a couple of your wonderful muscle relaxants when you feel certain that said neighboUr will be by, and then answer her frantic knocking. Everything she says will seem hysterically funny, you will be wetting your pants laughing, and y'know, she may not be back... :)

Andrea keeps us all in line on the OMG thread. She keeps track of our appts. our test results, and our mood, or whatever else needs taken care of. :)

Oh, and I just got word from another grammar-head that we can now end a sentence in a preposition according to either the Oxford English Dictionary or the Chicago Manual of Style. The reason is that it's become the common way of talking .... the other way sounds funny .... language evolves.

Yes, Yes, everyone can come if this other family backs out as predicted.

You do know I have SIX kids and live close to Tennessee, right? :P

Oh, I LOVE drop-ins! I live right in the downtown of our little town .... everyone knows they are welcome at any time, and if I don't feel good, I may still be in my jammies.

The only problem is, I haven't reconnected with many since moving back a year ago and being sick, so no one really pops in ... but it's so well-known that it's welcome that I've even had a seminarian stop in and ask me if I had any dinner leftover or a peanut butter sandwich .... it was about 9PM (this was someone I did a lot of youth work with). I love it.

Once in Indiana when I was a member of a quintet, I got the times mixed up and wasn't home yet .... I was about 20 minutes late, so by the time I got there, they were already all set up in my family room .... had moved chairs from the dining room ... we always left our door unlocked (I know this is a foreign concept to you Californians!).

So, anytime, just stop by!

Ah but the disagreeability of the Seinfeldian pop-in far exceeds the neighboUrly pop-in (pssst susie missed the U earlier & I'm a tattletale :P ).

The been-on-a-date-or-3 pop-in is in an entire different leeeeeaaaaaaaague, imho.

<how'd that 'h' get in there?>

Just the fact that the dating popper-inner ( :lol: ) went out of his or her way is a grand distinction.

(Oops! loophole for those of YOU who date neighbours :lol: ) <timeout .. . .still chuckling>

I didn't mind neighboUr pop-ins when I had neighbours I liked.

Been awhile.

Too many years as a virtual shut-in. :(

Just back from T-joe's where the checkout guy said "Welcome Back!"

I quizzically eye him and say "Really? You remember ME?"

He says "I'm sure I've seen you before".

So while it's a pretty safe assumption that ppl at T-Joe's HAVE been there before, I barely recognize mySELF right now, as only a couple hrs ago I had ~3-4 lbs of hedgehog removed. Yes, a haircut after letting it get longer than it's been in years.

Just walking up to the car and seeing a short-haired bloke's reflection in the window makes me think I'm not alone!!

Just never been a fan of the pop-in. Sounds nice, in theory, but I like to be prepared. Must be all the years of having unpredictible (nice way to put it) bathroom habits. <_<

      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.
