Actually the webs do creep me out almost as much as the critters themselves. Nothing like striding out your front door only to be enveloped in sticky spiderweb.... UGH!

Had a bat in my house about a year ago. It really freaked out my ten year old beagle. The bat was flying around and the beagle was howling at it. After we got the bat out of the house, the bealge hid under the bed for about a week whenever we left the house. Poor little beagle. :lol:

What about bat poop? :lol: What happens to all those eaten mosquitos while those bats are skimming you? :lol:

Having said that, I think I'd like to see those swarming bats...but if I ever go there I will go in rain attire, lol. :lol:

:lol: They don't poop on takeoff :lol:

I was standing below the swarm and turned out clean and dry at the end of it. The worst part was grass on my butt from sitting :)

I'm having some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream right now. I never was a fan but my husband turned me on to it & I am hooked now. I'll bet he wonders sometimes where all his ice cream goes.

I haven't Picard.

My favorite was Haagen Dazs, Mayan Chocolate, Dulce de Leche, and Mango :D

Speaking of Mango, where are you??

(I say this though I have phobias of my own. SPIDERS are mine. I can handle one at a time but if someone invited me to sit in a restaurant while swarms of spiders scittered by I'd be out of there like a shot!!!!)

Spiders freak me out too! If I see one crawling across the floor it gives me the chills and I jump a mile in the air, I just can't even stand the sight of them. Sorry little spider dudes. I have to have someone squish them for me.

Sorry Picard, missed your post about the bat and your beagle. Poor little beagle :(

Well, I am off to my daughters school to drop her supplies off. She is in the 1st grade officially!!!!!

1st grade, how exciting :):) Such a big day!

you guys are talking to the 90-lb 16 year old girl who beat 3 argentinian men in a steak eating contest and then ate dessert! i love to eat!

I am about 3/4 way done with the ice cream already... YUMMY!

i eat haagen dazs and my favorites are strawberry, and the chocolate peanut butter, i think that chocolate and peanut butter and like the best combination alive!!!!!!!!! that'y why when i ate soy i would wolf down like 50 reeses cup every day!

Getting back to the APUSH notes, i just did 9 pages which is good, finished the chapter, only 40 pages more! and 7 days to do it and write an essay! YAY! so close to being done!

(i turn the internet off when i am working so i don't get distracted by you silly-makers so that i wnot do my homework... but i give myself a break when i finish a chapter or finish the day's work...)

going back into hibernation and listening to JUNAES

Hey, Lymetoo, I'm a calligrapher & native Texan too. Is it something in the water? Ink, perhaps?

Maybe so!! I used to teach it to my third and fourth graders! They loved it and it helped their cursive writing as well!

My brother moved from Texas to Florida about 20 yrs ago and I found out one Christmas that he was doing calligraphy as well! We were both self-taught. His calligraphy is REALLY nice!!!

heheehe!!

I WAY more afraid of TICKS than spiders or bats! WAY more! Hate wasps too, as I swell up terribly from them.

I haven't seen the bats in Austin [except on TV] but I've seen bats coming out of several caves in Texas, as well as the bats in Carlsbad Caverns.

Bats are good....but not when they get too close!! We had some in our school once when I was student teaching. THAT was NOT good....but it provided a great learning experience for the children!

I LOVE haagen Dazs :P I also like Ritters custard....is that gluten free? I just realized that I don't really know :huh: I haven't had it in forever, so I never found out.

Ritter's won't commit. They're a cya company that just says, sorry, we can't feed you!! We have other people who will pay for our custard and we don't need you anyway! You'd probably sue us if we did feed you, we'd rather you starve!! <_<

Thank goodness there are companies out there who care that we eat and just let us decide what risk is worth it.

I've not heard of Ritters either. Is it a frozen custard, or pudding-like custard??

If you like pudding Morgan, Cozy Shack is gluten-free, they don't want anyone to die :lol:

Ritter's is frozen custard. It's out of Indiana, started about 10 years ago and is spreading through franchising, mainly in the midwest. They'd be more popular IMHO if they served us!! Here they have a family of 8 who can't go there, so has to settle for somewhere else ... and I mean settle, they're the best! Except for the fact that they're jerks!!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
