Listen, y'all, I'm seriously concerned about Rachel!!! I just PMed her, but it's very early in the morning in California, so I don't expect an answer any time soon. I checked back, and her last post on this string was Tuesday night, August 1st, page 276, post #4128.

There was small earthquake near San Fransico day before yesterday. Perhaps, it's a power thing?

Hope she's well. L

I just heard about that this AM on the news--that could be it. I, too, hope all is well.

Does anyone have her phone number? It's not that early here in California, I haven't heard anything about an earthquake although I don't watch the news much, if it was so big as to knock the power off in San Francisco I probably would know.

Wish we had a way to get ahold of each other.

I have not heard form Rachel either, this is not like her at all to go this long without posting or contacting someone.

I'm concerned maybe she got really sick, or maybe something is going on in her personal life.

I thought about her computer maybe acting up, but she could always use the one at work.

I haven't heard anything about an earthquake - they happen all the time, and my best friend in San Jose would have told me about it if it was anything significant - if it was big enough that the power went out, we'd have heard about it.

Not like Rachel at all, and yes, she loves us, she would FIND another computer and send us a note, I am sure! I mean, she is the founder and president......I am concerned, I guess no one has her phone number? Even if she were not well, just really lousy and sick, you now she would post.

Gosh - I am really concerned....we don't know her last name - does anyone? - she lives in Manteca, or is that her mom's house? - and works in San Francisco, I think, that's all I know...

Hi Tavi - no! no more cheating! Glad you are better and back with us.

Nice to see everyone - - R-ville seems to be slowing down....oh dear.....

I am now going to begin painting 2/3 of my house and then rip out carpet, acid-stain the cement underneath.....dear God...

where is everybody? come back....... :(

I am off to my brother's house in Sacramento for the weekend. My niece is going to sing the National Anthem at the River Cats game tonight. How exciting! :D So don't worry about me folks. I will try to use his computer but he usually has sites blocked to keep his kids from going places :blink:

Have a great weekend my fellow rachelites.

And Lynne have a great time at the wedding :D

Doesn't Rachel live at her mother's during the week? I think she said she works at a Buy Rite store there, and only goes back to her own house on weekends. So she would have been at her mother's the last time she posted. I'm not sure about the Buy Rite, though I know it is a grocery store.

I just went to the Members file. Her last post was on Wednesday at 7:45 AM, August 2nd. It didn't say on what forum topic.

I've been playing with my page on Myspace for the last few days. I've been finding a lot of my cousins and friends from school. I was shocked when I got on here and there was 1/2 page since yesterday afternoon. :ph34r::huh: hmmm....

I'm worried about our President too. Where could she be? Hopefully the bushes she cut didn't get their revenge.

Susan I wish I could rip out my carpet and paint. I hate living in military housing!!!!

Well I have things to do. Talk to you guys later.

Rachel works at a Safeway. I found that info on one of the first posts on this thread, on page 7.

Now I'm going to see if I can find where she said her mother lives.

I *think* that Donna lives in Rachel's general area. When was the last time Donna checked in?

I am hoping that Rachel is having a wonderful time and is thinking we know she has true ice cream vitality :) but I admit I am a little bit worried. I think we must collectively wish for Rachel to post and let us know how she is doing. Do you know the expression, "the long body"? It means the ways in which we are connected that we do not know but sometimes encounter, like reaching for the phone to call a friend and the phone ringing and it being them, or our resident twins who keep saying the same thing at the same time :) So Rachel, give us a ring, we miss you. :)

I know exactly what you mean, although I've never heard that expression. Rachel, check in!!! Meanwhile, Andrea and I will continue searching.

Evie, I'm sending a prayer for you to FEEL MUCH BETTER - NOW!

Patti, thanks. I'll see if I can reach her, but I think she's at work now.

Patti, I checked back, and found that Donna's last post on here was Wednesday morning at 9:47 AM, August 2nd.

Who mentioned the earthquake? Maybe Rachel and Donna are both without power.

I'm still here, just reading mostly. My order of beads came today so I've been playing with them, lol. I was thinking Rachel is probably just taking a break for a couple of days, or her mom's computer is in use. I've been having some problems with mine at home, so haven't even bothered turning it on for a couple of days. I think I got the problems straightened out though. I thought I saw Rachel online (not today though) more recently than Wednesday morning but don't think she posted anywhere.

I didn't even hear about the earthquake so it couldn't have been bad enough for power outages. I don't remember hearing anything on the news about power outages in this area either from earthquake or other reasons.

Hi Celia--I've missed you, too! :D

I'm around tonight--and all weekend. My husband and son are going to a car show in PA, and the weather is just too hot for me, so I'm staying home.

We did get the painting done, finally! The room is all back together, and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I'll take some pictures and as soon as we get them on the computer, I'll email them to you.

How has everything been with you? Sorry to hear of your finger and hand stiffness. Sounds painful :( Glad that the storm is breaking up. Good news.

And... am I the ONLY one on here on a Friday night? Good gawwwddd :lol:

I'll have to sit here and entertain myself... :lol: it's fun... I can make myself laugh :o:lol:

:lol::lol::lol: Yes, I bet you CAN make yourself laugh, you silly dingbat....

Patti, good for you on the room! it's so exhausting...I am getting estimate on someone ELSE (not my brother and friends) ripping out and disposing of the carpet...zoigs.....quite a job and me with a permanently injured arm from the couch accident of three months ago.... :angry: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Yes, our town is quiet....do you think our President just got sick of us? :huh: Or did she crack under the pressure of a whole TOWN being formed and named after her? :( Say it ain't so, she loves her R-villians!

The dingos....currently they are passed out as they saw their two boyfriends today and had quite a romp (phew - stinky and they are having a bath soon - - mud bog filth)....but, they will quickly muster themselves to dispatch and find our Rachel, do not fear!

I nominate Cissie to call every safeway and look for Rachel......just describe her and, how old is she? maybe she doesn't wear her visor to work every day, though....

RACHEL, WHERE ARE YOU????? We are worried, send a sign, a smoke signal, give a shout-out....

Cecile, so glad the current storm is breaking up.

gotta go - am custom-mixing the paint how, all the gallons and quarts in the five-gallon drum......very exciting as one never knows what one will get in these instances....but it's usually perfect, every time... :rolleyes:

crickets......tumbleweeds blowing through town - - remember that Tavi is not here to monitor those.....

Patti, Susan, Cecile,

It's good that you are all here. Figured I'd wait until Monday before trying to figure out a way to track down Rachel. There are a gazillion Safeway's in California and I'm not sure what area she works in. I'm hoping she just wasn't able to use the computer at her mom's for whatever reason and that she'll check in with us this weekend. Even if she was out having fun, she'd still be online once in awhile I would think.

I'll be checking in all weekend.

BTW....Mitch just got back from his appointment and is going to have to have surgery for the fissure. It won't be until September 13th. He will need to take Wed-Fri off from work and doesn't get sick time. He also doesn't have vacation...but it will be nice to have him home and he will be home for my birthday. I assume he'll still be able to eat. Hopefully he won't be on a liquid diet, hadn't thought of that before. I guess we'll find out more at the pre-op appointment when he has that.

Cecile,

Isn't there anything at that restaurant that won't make you sick. Can you take something to munch on and order a simple salad or something? I don't want you to get sick. :(

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
