Back at the end of June we had terrible flooding up here (central upstate NY). My older daughter (the one on the far left) was looking out the window, watching the debris float by on the stream beside our house. She yelled come quick look! We all ran to see what she saw, including my 2 year old, who just so happened to be on the potty at the time. My wife came in late, saw what you see there and decided to preserve it for "posterity" so to speak...

:D I just noticed she dosen't have any pants on! :o

I'm originally from Syracuse :) Our families are still there, so we are up there a few times a year. Love the fall in central NY--when our kids were young, we'd take drives out to "apple country"--Tully, and around there.

Many years ago, my husband and I ate at a very nice Italian restaurant on the main street (I think) in Oneonta. I wish I could remember the name....

I hope I didn't offend any Buffalonians. See, it's kind of a standing joke up here as we used to get the Buffalo news quite often on Channel 7 - Eyewitness News! You guys were famous for your house fires because so many houses are made of wood.......

It was meant lightheartedly........ ;)

That's the only place that comes to mind.

What the folks in Western NY lack in imagination, they more than make up for in die-hard support of their beloved Buffalo Bills...

OMG, I grew up in Jamestown (45 min South of Buffalo) - you would not believe how hard I'm laughing at this post!!!!

You guys are crackin' me up -- but I TOTALLY missed Alfred. What a shame . . . I would have enjoyed a little medical "banter" with him. He sounds like one of those people that put fake blood and a piece of liver in a plastic bag, then place it in their hand so that you can't see it. They put their hands on whatever area they "feel" you're having trouble, pop the plastic bag, pull out the piece of liver covered in fake blood, and "voila" -- you're CURED!!!!!!!

But... maybe it's TRUE and we can all be healed and eat all the foods we haven't been able to!!

HA HA HA

My son-in-law got an email from a guy who wanted to buy his car... and wanted him to accept a "cashier's" check for twice what the car was being sold for. He was to cash the check and mail the remainder back to the guy.

My SIL wrote back to him and asked, "Sounds good... would you like all my banking information and credit card numbers too???"

The guy wrote back and said, "You stupid American... this is serious."

Lynne - sorry for you, this Loser Alfred doesn't banter or discuss, just posts his scam info.... :lol:

Luvs2 Eat - - those international money order scams are HUGE. I get emails all the time from these people...also they were all over Craig's list (there are warnings when placing an ad now about these scams) - - I remember I listed my PIANO on Craig's List and people from all over the world wrote "about your wonderful item and you sound like such kind honest person would love to do business with and please, what is cost of your item" (which was listed) and I would take great pleasure in replying.....OH YES!!! This makes so much sense, to SHIP a PIANO to Africa!! I am so excited....the piano is now TWO MILLION DOLLARS and I am so excited you'll be the owner!

(I am easily amused) :)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
