Well at the current moment the newlyweds are working, we just got to the hospital, I came up to my office and he went down on the dock. Tonight, we leave for our honeymoon. We will stay with my family tonight and leave for New York tomorrow.

We are staying on the Lake, in Canadaigua and then spending the Friday in Rochester. We will return to PA on Saturday evening.

We have a few things on the menu, Cooperstown, and the dinner at the Tastings Restaurant. I want to go to the Seneca Zoo. So it will be a very fun time. We have never been to the Finger Lakes so this is all new to us.

It was snowing up there yesterday. So hopefull the weather will remain nice.

OMG-OMG-OMG! :o

You're going to be in my backyard! :)

The Finger Lakes are awesome - many great NY wineries (and Wegmans EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK! :rolleyes: ) and other great attractions (the Open Original Shared Link - just outside Canandaigua - wifey's favorite spot). You're not truly coming to Cooperstown, the same Cooperstown that's 1/2 hr from my abode? :o This is the best time to vist C-town - no tourists (well, 'cepting you and yours) lots of parking...Must check out The Farmer's Museum, Fenimore House, Baseball HOF (Barry Bonds' *Ball not there yet :angry: ), I've had good luck eating at "Open Original Shared Link". PM me if I can help with info on either end of your trip. I've lived in both places. Oh, how exciting to have the newly weds in my backyard!

Oh buggers, I am going "over the river and thru the woods to grandma's house" (her 90th b-day on Friday :(

There are no gluten free places in Cooperstown, but I've eaten successfully the the "Hoffman Lane Bistro" (see link above). It's a neat place, w/live entertainment most weekends. There is a health food store in town (Cooperstown Natural Foods) if you need snacks. The lady that runs it is VERY nice. Her son is autistic, and on gluten-free diet, so she is very knowledgable and well stocked.

The weather? :huh: I had about 1/2" of snow on my deck this morning :o Cold. this week looks like lows in 20's highs in 40's.

If you are going to be in Rochester for a meal you must check out the Open Original Shared Link. I haven't been there since going gluten-free so I can't vouch for that aspect - but OMG they have the BEST RIBS :rolleyes: and a funky honky-tonk atmosphere :o There is almost always a wait to get in - it's THAT GOOD. :)

Enjoy your stay :)

OMG my Stinker had a major panic attack this morning - we got up (Annie and I), Tika decided to spend the latter half of the night outside in her doghouse.......so Annie goes out in the morning with tail wags and kisses and greets her.............so Stinker comes into the house with the most wild-eyed look of sheer panic on her face, tail betwixt legs, and runs straight back to her bed.........:huh:

I enticed her out with something yummy mixed into her food............so she comes out, shaking uncontrollably, teeth chattering (whilst I am holding her and saying repeatedly the favorite words of consolation "Mommy's here! Annie's here! Mommy's here!!!!)......so she eats her food, and runs straight back to bed......

what kind of dog has nervous breakdown panic attacks??????? :huh: (okay, I'll say it for you - DOGS THAT LIVE WITH DINGO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: )

anybody got any extra Prozac for her? (only half kidding here)

Top 10 silliest British laws

The laws and other regulations were culled from published research into ancient legislation that has never been repealed although subsequent statutes have rendered them obsolete.

Respondents were given a shortlist and asked to vote.

Most ridiculous British law:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent)

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (seven percent)

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (six percent)

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (five percent)

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter (four percent)

6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (four percent)

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen (3.5 percent)

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (three percent)

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (three percent)

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent)

Have a good one :D --the area you will be visiting is beautiful--especially this time of year. We took the boys to Cooperstown about 10 years ago. Actually, while we were there, we went into a little store on the main street close to the museum. I walked in (having never been there before) and saw my cousin who lived in Aston at the time. Neither of us knew the other would be there--she was taking one of her kids to a doctor there.

Talk about a coincidence :o

Have a fantastic time--we want to hear all about it when you get back. Well, ya know what I mean :lol:B)

Yeah, we have 'em up here, too. Following the Commonwealth and all, we still respect some of the best ol' British legislation. And thank Gawd we still observe the law about

pregnant women relieving themselves wherever they see fit. I had many a moment at nine months along in parked cars, mailboxes, compost bins...all quite legally. :lol:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
