:lol::lol:

Lisa,

Its soooo cool to see gators in the wild. Kinda scary too though. :ph34r:

I've never seen an armadillo in the wild!!! Where did you see it?? I'm thinking we dont have those here in Ca....at least I dont think so. :unsure:

Hey:

I was asleep on the outskirts of town and couldn't find anyone! :angry::angry::angry:

The other Rachelville moved here? You gotta tell the town bum, leaf sweeper, tumbleweed catcher :D:D:D

Sorry Tavi....Didnt you see the post-it???

We didnt want to disturb ya....since you were so busy and all. ;)

That's where we honeymooned but the only wild animal I saw there was the one I'd just married!

ROFL :lol:

I did see plenty of armadillos when I lived in Texas-- but heck, that's where they have their World Headquarters.

:lol::lol::lol:

Sometimes guys seem to be more wild than actual wild animals. At least I know one of my brothers are.... he moves more than the most fidgety animal, moves faster than a cheetah, and talks more than a bird....how much more wild can one get???

The purple glittery bats help with cross-pollenating the food stuff in the garden by flapping their wings.

They are that color because Susie is not real fond of bats and doesn't want them in her hair and I think Chelsea wanted them made them that color so they would be obvious. They are trained to stay away from Susie.

Mitch comment: In actuality, they were imported by Meredith when she discovered it was a result of a special mating season between the red bats and the blue bats. :lol: During transport on the high seas the high humidity caused such a stickiness on their bodies. Also, the glittering waters of the pristine ocean near R-ville paradise clung to them, therefore, the bats retained the glitter.

Could not have explained it better myself :lol:

It was too cool, but sad. We were very close to Hilton Head, SC. The development is unbelieveable, the little armidillo (I don't know how to spell it), was about the size of a very large cat and was in the parking lot and there was alot of new ground breaking around his original habitat. I never thought that they would be indiginous to South Carolina, but he sure was there. Kinda cool, but sad.......development is encroaching on wildlife everywhere that developers can make a buck.

Glad to see Rachelville making a new start...........perhaps I can keep up with it, probly so, maybe probly not. I will try to check in when I can. Will Rachelville have spell check? OH, yeah, I am Senator, I can do SOMETHING,...........legislation as stated " I submit a bill that all residence of Rachelville be totaly exempt from any duress, ill inner feelings or concerns about posting any misspelled posts to others, who reside or are visiting entities of Rachelville. A Vote is Called............ Ms Mayor how do you speak?

Got to be the bad buttock tomorrow. Wish I had a job that everyone kisses it. <_<

You know Momma Goose that I am a dingbat at times (really much of the time). I talked to Lynne this past week and said I was so concerned as I had not seen you on the forum for some time. She then told me who you now were. Boy, I will probably find out you have been Momma Goose for a couple of months and I just noticed you were missing for only a couple of weeks. I still have the wedding on my desktop and when I get some more needed energy, I want to go over which one is you. Take care and so glad you are here and have not run away. Hugs.

And thanks for explaining the bats to me.

red bats + blue bats = purple glittery bats :lol:

I love it

Oh...and I needed to mention that the red bats are the males, the blue bats are the females....that's because the males are brighter in color and the females are protected from harm because of the darker color. (Mitch comment)

Oh yeah, paradise R-ville has an elaborate five thousand acre glittery horse farm, so not only do the bats control the mosquito population, they also control the fly population so that the horses don't have to swish their tails. These horses come in a variety of colors and are available for paradise R-ville trail rides. (see the Social Director-Carla and Circle R owner-Andrea for more details about the farm).

lol Now I hope that those bats are quick with eating all those mosquitoes and flies :unsure: . If R-ville is going to be the perfect little town than those species will have to disappear so fast that nobody even saw them. Bat's eat quickly, right? :huh:

Well Mom went to her room before I could even make it to mine. I'm tired though, so the brat will be attending her sleeping festival in the comfort of her own bed. Good night my fellow Rachelville-ians and sleep tight (if you haven't drank too much coffee yet ;) )

Now, now, let's not be perverting the bats....

They evolved to be purple and glittery so that they would distract their predators and so that Susan wouldn't be afraid of them. Both males and females are glittery and purple...You can tell the difference between the two because the females have comical large red lips :P

One bat can eat up to 3,000 mosquitoes a night... :blink:

My name is Susan. I am an Accountant & an Assistant Food Service Director for 41 schools. Oh, I also drag race with my husband. Strange combo, huh? I'll let you decide then what I should be in this town. Ha!

Oh, and yes I got caught up in all those pages. I skimmed through though. I don't know how I would ever have enough time to read it all.

Susan,

Wow, drag racing....sounds too fast for me. :P Did Go Cart for the kidlets in Rachelville and any adults that enjoy that. We can have a safer childrens course and a more challenging adult course if wanted.

Susan W: Treasurer; Food Quality Control; Go Cart track owner/supervisor (With mini golf on the side)

Edit to correct last initial. :P

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cross-contamination risks, continuing the challenge may not be worth the damage to your thyroid and quality of life, especially since you already know gluten worsens your antibodies and symptoms. If you need answers, you could discuss genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes) with your doctor—this can rule out celiac predisposition without a gluten challenge. For now, prioritizing your health by quitting gluten again (strictly, given your sensitivity) and supporting gut healing (like probiotics, L-glutamine, or zinc carnosine) might be the wisest path. Your thyroid will thank you!

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By CeliacMom79 · Posted

      Hi. Sorry, his previous levels were >250 and we do not know how high they were. So yes, "off the chart". By 'detectable' I just meant that at 234 we now actually have a number as a baseline that we can measure future labs against. All his other liver test functions have been normal.  Just the elevated ALP. Thank you.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @CeliacMom79! Not sure what you mean when you say you are pleased that his ttg levels are now at "detectable levels"? Earlier in your narrative you said they were originally above 250. Was 250 the upper limit of the scale that was used, such that you actually don't know how high they were originally, i.e. "off the charts"?  Were his other liver test functions (ALT, AST) originally elevated?
