Congratulations!!!!! I'm Jen, new here, and about to take my second qualifying exam anthropology in October [bites nails] and defend in December [bites nails harder]. It's a tremendous accomplishment to pass without revisions; amazing, in fact. Good job.

Welcome Jen! :D

Please keep us posted on your defense when it comes round.

Susie- Since my area is literacy and the dingos ARE so smart maybe my dissertaion can be about teaching them to read :P

Well guess what Dr. Smarty-Smart ;) ......Tika (aka Stinker) has already in fact WRITTEN two books (with her nanny) - the first, wildly popular "Tika's Day Out" and then long-awaited followup "On The Road With Stinker." Yes, both presented to me on my birthday, and I cried at each one. So she actually already knows how to read.

Annie.....try as you may but she's just never going to be a reader. Her looks and charm seem to get her by and she's never really felt the need to improve her mind.

:P

Tell us - well me, because I don't know - what the "defense" procedure consists of. Sounds heinous!

thanks everyone- You guys are so good to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Jen- definitely let us know when yours comes around. Yikes!!!!!!!!! I was so FREAKED out.

Uhm... defending just means you go in and they "challenge" you by asking you questions about your answers- they either ask for clarification or "How would blah blah theory apply in this situation?" It CAN BE really scary because a lot of times your committe has persons of academia with big fat EGOS (I booted a guy who I renamed "Smarm-sart" from my committee because he was so damn smarmy).

I was lucky in that I had a committee (3 people) who wouold challenge me for the RIGHT reasons, not because they were out to prove how smart they are. I was really lucky- my committe is 3 very down-to-earrth people. And they did ask me questions, but important ones.

Oh yeah- then after you defend, they ask you to step out of the room so they can make their final decision. That is the longest wait of all. Ugh!

I want to read Stinker's books. Who is her nanny/co-author???????

"Dr. Smarty-Smart" . . . . for some reason, that strikes me as hysterically funny! Bev, I am so happy for you . . . now get out of your in-laws place, so I can come up to be a labor coach -- PhD or not! This staying home being a gimp business is for the birds . . . I need a PROJECT!!!

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
