Lemme know where it is - I'll join you and get my other old lady friends

I've been in a lot of retirement residences over the last few years, looking for an apartment for my DH's aunt and then for my parents, and it's really something. There is one old guy to about twenty women. My parents are in a complex with probably 200 people....9 of them are men. One big hen party...the old farts stay up in their apartments, the women are downstairs shuffleboarding, doing aerobics, playing bridge. Great for the single guys, I suppose.... :lol:

No we have to return unused study drugs in order to pick new ones up here :)

You could auction off the opened bottles..."Got migraines? This'll fix y'up...we'll start at twenty bucks. Blood pressure's making your veins crack? Here ya go, and it's three-quarters full--ten bucks"....

And speaking of music, today feels a LOT like a sax day!!!!! (Boehv?? That's an A, not an E! :lol: )

...What does a sax day feel like, Tom? I've had tuba days (heavy, amusing, expensive), and accordion days (just want it to be over)....

She says "I don't care how they talk in Pigland" :lol: I was rofl!!

Unnyfay!!!!! :lol::lol:

Obviously a hoverer with poor aim . . . or perhaps in mid-hover, the purse she was balancing on her head started to slide. In an effort to keep her purse from hitting the floor, she lost sight of her target . . . so to speak.

Gad......rank amateur.......

;) Speak fer yerself bayyyyy-beeeeeeee!!!!!!!

...actually, we'll all have walkers, and they will be VERY handy to help with the hover (they should also be marketed as "hover-helpers")....ya just hang on, and you could hold mid-hover for minutes on end! :lol:

So, today's flurry of excitement over reports of Sarah being pregnant leaves me feeling compelled to share this little story.

As you know, Jacquie and I run a retail store. One of our employees is named Sarah.

In mid-December, Sarah mentions to us that she had been feeling kind of yucky, lack of appetite and nausea in the morning. Jacquie jokingly asked, "You're not pregnant, are you?" She says, "no way."

Well, she went to the doctor, and, you guessed it, she and her husband are expecting their first.

Hmmmm.

Egads- first, sarah's pregnant then she's not and then Amanda's pregnant and then she's not but then reveals she's "trying" which would explain why she's so perky every morning!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

My cat slept on my pillow between my head and the headboard all night last night....literally from 1-5:30 am, he never does that. I actually put my hand on him to make sure he was alive (he never stays still that long, he is only 2 and is still very active and playful)

I was telling my coworker about him sleeping and she said her cat slept with her all night too which is also rare, turns out it was a full moon last night...weird huh?

Dem meow meows is SMART. I think our female is a serial killer plotting to kill us all. Actually she's leaning over my shoulder as I type this and I KNOW she can read. :ph34r:

I really do (or did :( ) love Beaver Tails so I hope that makes up for my hate of Poutine and allows me to maintain my citizenship!

This actually scared me...I thought BEAVER TAILS? Must be one of the Canadian delicacies, eh? Phew!!!!!

[

:o BEV! Well I don't know about YOU, but *I* am NOT obsessed w/ dog nuts.....I mean, Annie doesn't even have any for Peter's sake.........

:lol: :lol: Angus doesn't either!

must say, NEVER In my life have I seen fries w/ gravy - - we eat them only w/ ketchup here - - and I must say, I was partaking in a GIANT basket of fries from DEDICATED fryer at Nepenthe last Sunday :):rolleyes:

OMG- is there ANYTHING that Nepenthe is not good for???????? BIG SIGH.

Susie, seeing how women, in general, outlive their husbands, we're all pretty much dying alone . . . that's why I have made arrangements to be committed to live in the same mental old age facility as my best friend. That way we can keep each other company and complain to each other about how our children never call and that the food taste like crap.

I'm coming too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

Agreed! But I must say my 2nd choice would be FRIED CLAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They do that there?? Can I bring in whatever I want and exchange it for something better?? I'm sure I've got some leftover stuff in the drawer and I can thing of much better drugs to have lying around than old antibiotics.

OMG...me too! I know EXACTLY what I want, won't take but a minute to exchange!!!!!!!

Scared my poor Lucky and he fled the room. Lucky loves crawling on my lap when I am on the computer (laptop) I think the warmth is what makes him stay.

Sadly, no.

Well, maybe for fireworks.

I have a couple neighbor boys who are 20, 21. I don't know how many times I am awakened by them doing something terribly loud in the middle of the night.

I so want to open the window and scream "shut up" or anonymously call the police, but I'm scared it will get traced back to me :lol::lol:

Morning Sillies

So remember how I was talking about the ghetto kids. I am leaving early today so John and I drove seperate cars to work. When he walked out to his car the gas tank was open. He said the car drove very funny too. There are fireworks all over the parking lot. We pay outrageous amounts of rent...I can pay half that and go down to the city and live in the same conditions...nuts! Our rental place never does anything about it. We were told they were moving out but it has been 3 months now and they are still there....I am scared to really stay there anymore. These people freak me out.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
