Just had a look, seems like Corpus Christi area is getting brunt of it.  Best wishes to everyone in the great state of Texas. Hope Ennis, Jen and any other Texan forum users are either well away from the area or hunkered down safely!

Glad you are far away! Here in NC if a hurricane hits the coast, we get it in the middle of the state sometimes too.

Yeah it is storming here now, but I am a bit concerned for anyone more south....was jen from Austin or Houston?  I do know one thing if any of our regulars needed a safe place to crash for a few nights a bit further away from my place is open. -_- With the stress of a storm like this last thing you need to worry about is having safe food and living environment with this disease.

I've always worried about having to go to a shelter.

I'm fine in Austin. Lots of rain. A bit of wind..... Although for us, most of the more severe weather is coming overnight tonight.  They are predicting 5-20 inches of rain here. If it's 20inches, probably we'll see flooding.  If it's only 5 inches, yay for the extra rain.  

They are predicting 27-30 inches of rain in Houston.  If you have ever been there, you know that Houston holds on to rain like a wet sponge.  Flooding will be a huge problem there. 

South of us, 200,000 people have lost power. And they are predicting 30 inches of rain there too.  I think the worst is yet to come to be honest for most people. This crazy storm is going to keep raining on us until Wednesday!

Thanks for asking! Keep praying for those who stayed south and didn't evacuate.

As a Floridian, I know all too well what it's like under the guns of 'canes. Everyone be smart & stay safe. No walking through water as there may be power lines down. And then again, there can be lots of other things lurking in those flooded areas. 

Positive thoughts with all those affected by the storm. The final effects have yet to be felt and you have a lot of days ahead of you yet before it's over. Seriously hoping there is no loss of life. 

Keep your chins up!

That is so sweet of you, Ennis!  ?

We have to worry about Earthquakes.  Hopefully, we can unbury the Camping Gear and Earthquake supplies from the corner of our garage!

Haven't checked the news yet this morning but this storm have been a devestating one. Hope the rain stops soon and that loss of life is minimal. Please stay safe all.

The pictures have been shocking. I hope that help is forthcoming to those who need to rebuild.

I agree. So much suffering for the people trapped and I can't imagine the worry of the folks that evacuated about what they wil see when they return.  Boats and helicopters are the only way to rescue at this point.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
