I love to make jewelry....especially earings and beaded jewelry :D What kinds do you make?

Cool! I'm just starting up again...used to make earrings years ago and just decided to make bracelets...

I have made almost 60 in 2 weeks. :ph34r: Need bead intervention quickly.... :ph34r:

Good idea....I might have to splurge and get one for my birthday next month. My parents usually give me money. I'll be 40. :ph34r::o

Andrea, 40?? I never would have guessed. What is the special day?

I love the old fashioned ice cream makers but they are a lot of hastle. Everyone seems to swear by this Cuisinart model, Vincent, Patti, now Rachel. Sounds like it is very easy and quick to use- would be a good investment for sure.

Plus, you can control your ingredients going in.

Ooooooh....you will have to meet Donna then....she's into jewelery too. In fact I think she's made so many bracelets this past week we're gonna need a special room just to store them all! I think she should just give one to all the R-Ville residents. :D Then we will only need half of a room to store them all. :rolleyes:

:ph34r: See my post above. :lol:

morganb Newbie
:lol: yes, you should have done no such thing. That is where some of Rachelville vocabulary is born from, typos!

Don't worry it won't happen again....that is except when I write delicious. I always spell delisious first. It sounds kind of like Odysseus and that just won't work in my book. So unless it were to be added to the vocabulary, then I'll continue to correct that.

dlp252 Apprentice
Well it was kind of hard to forget about that one since I ended up typing revelation the Rachelville way first. I backspaced and retyped it, but then realized I should have done no such thing :rolleyes:

Noooooo, never retype, lol...that's how our vocabulary list grows. :lol:

I'll be 40. :ph34r::o

A mere babe...um, I mean youngster, youngin, small one...

Wow, I definitely don't make that much. I just make a little something every once in a while. :)

That's the great thing! I have only found one frozen desert in the stores that I can eat--Sharon's sorbet (sweetened with sugar, not corn). By being able to use the Vance's, I can have something "creamy" once in a while.

In honor of Morgan, I say we add "delisious" to the vocab list, as in everything here in Rachelville is soooo delisious because of the clean air, auxigro-free soil and produce, hormone free cows, and our pest control glittery purple bats.

.....the ice cream is so delisious, the chocolate is so delisious, the bumble bars are so delisious, the corn tortillas are so delisious.....

dare I say even the Ener-G bread is delisious??

No, that one is probably going too far :lol:

Hi Patti! :)

Mitch just called, so I updated him. He said as long as we don't pull a Rachel and eat 40 cups...since it'll be my 40th b-day (the 15th of Sept).

The pastuerization of the milk products is what we don't like but we aren't comfortable with the raw milk either. We could make cashew ice cream too.

Stop me folks, I'm on a roll today. :lol: HR person is gone, I bought more beads, no chocolate in a week and no diet coke in two days! :lol:

Maybe our bats will be even more unique than they already are and eat something else. Maybe minnows from the ocean since they like the water so much that they are even glittery from it.

:lol::lol::lol: The dog and the armadillo story is funny!!!

I love to make jewelry....especially earings and beaded jewelry :D What kinds do you make?

heehe...our dog was about the same size as the armadillo [obviously!]....he just loved hunting them!

I make mostly angel pins....and sell them in the theatres here. I began my jewelry making business after having to retire on disability from teaching 12 yrs ago. I began with beaded necklaces and it evolved into a little bit of EVERYTHING. Now, to keep things simple, I only make the pins. I make beaded things when I have time.

I think that would be going a little too far....unless it was used to add texture to certain meals like breakfast casseroles. Then it's delisious :P

You are definitely, no doubt about it, on a role. I'm thinking about walking down the street and taking a peek in the bead store that I heard about. :) Although, I'm in Ohio and my jewelry stuff is in Indiana, so I won't be able to make anything out of it for a while :(<_<

Cool, we can have a little jewelry shop, so that we don't ALWAYS have to go over the hill to the glutenized mall for our shopping fix!

Well, since this is Paradise, we don't NEED money...right?! Thanks for the welcomes...My name is Gayle.

Be careful...that's how I got sucked in, lol...just went to check out a bead store and came out with all kinds of stuff including some of the strechy nylon "wire" that only requires a knot to close...that's how I made nearly 60...only requires beads and the "wire". :lol:

I'm going to take a beading class in a couple of weeks to learn how to do the fancy clasps....crimp beads and all. Don't think that will slow me down much though... :ph34r:

Oh, okay, our bats shall have their fill...I'll take care of the rest, lol. :lol: I'll try to be patient whilst the bats do their thing. :lol:

If it makes you feel any better, we hardly have any mosquitos in Austin, we have the largest urban bat colony in North America living under a downtown bridge! That's 1.5 million bats eating 3,000 mosquitoes a night...

Makes your job easy :P

Especially since the purple glittery bats need extra mosquitos to be sparkly ;)

I'm totally spinached and pulling a Rachel all this week...

That's right kids, last week of the gluten challenge, biopsy is MONDAY!!! :D:o:ph34r:

You know what that means? Severe gluten overload to do as much damage in as little time as possible while eating things I want that I'll never be able to eat again!

I had a bagel for breakfast, pop tarts for a snack, and for lunch...4 slices of bread, a breadstick, french onion soup with crutons, and now I'm eating tiramisu! :ph34r:

My policy this week is to have gluten in hand at every moment!!! Gotta have an accurate biopsy!!! :blink:

AndreaB Contributor

Chelsea,

Your poor tummy not to mention other parts. That makes my tummy hurt just reading it and I don't even have bad reactions to gluten. :ph34r::o

I can definitely see how that happened....I went in there and it's sooooooo cool :rolleyes: I wanted to buy just about every bead in there and the expensive (at least in my book) sterling silver chains. I was sucked in. However, I didn't buy anything bc I need to be sure I don't have a certain bead first. But after that......who knows :P

I'd say that I hope you feel well, but if you're celiac then it's obvious that you don't :( I hope all turns out correct though.

Oh sheeet! :lol::lol:

The thought of you having gluten in hand at every moment cracks me up, like that commercial for fiber supplements- where all throughout the day the women are eating apples, broccoli, carrots, from the minute they open their eyes in the morning until the minute they close their eyes at night because they gotta get their fiber in. Carrots are on the bedside tables, broccoli at the gym on the treadmill, apples driving the kids to work.....

That will be you Chelse, except with gluten filled foods. Gotta get that gluten in!

      It seems like eye inflammation comes at the same time as digestive upset.  My system still hasn't completely settled despite adhering to a strict diet, and eye inflammation seems to coincide with celiac attacks.

      Thank you for your response. You are right, this is not worth the damage to my thyroid since I know gluten is bad for me anyway. I stopped the challenge and did the IgA and tTG-IGA tests and am waiting for results, although I know it is likely they will be false negative anyway. I figured since I wasn't ever really strict about cross contamination, they might show positive if I do have celiac. I did the genetic testing a few months ago and was positive for DQ8.
    • Scott Adams
      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!
    • trents
      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. 
    • CeliacMom79
      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.
