Okay, guys,

I'm soooooo sad....I'm about to miss yet another run for the crown. :( I've been putting up a good college try to stay up for the big flipover, but my little bed is calling me, and my head keeps dropping down to my chest as I try to keep my eyes open. All Hail, Forthcoming Regeant!!!

Night night, to the rest of you plebians....... ;):D

(Unless Nascar connections count. Everybody in NC has those. :rolleyes: )

Sure they count! (As if being close to Mayberry weren't enough!!! :blink: )

Martinsville has a track doesn't it?

Some distant relative drives the Tar-zhay (tar-jay?) car in Nascar. No wins yet but he's only 21.

I'll assume it's a pretty piddly connection by NC standards.

P.S. Am I REthroned w/ this post?

Terrifying Breaking News

tonight my neighbors and I had a little gathering in my living room, to talk about our situation with those kids. My disabled neighbor told us something scary...the other night the kids were standing on their front porch and her kitchen window sits off this stoop. It was 2am. So all the lights were off. She had heard voices so she crept into the kitchen and listened....what they talked about scared her. They were talking about firebombing cars, beating someone up, killing people, blaming their crimes on others, having aylabis (spelling?) She couldnt call anyone since she didnt have a phone. They only have a cell phone in her apartment and her daugther was working late and had it....

We are dealing with much worse than we first thought.

:o

That's really scary that your neighbor is there by herself without a phone.

Random thing I feel the need to suggest:

They have really good Virgin Mobile pay as you go phones at Target for $20. Maybe she could get one so she's a little safer?

Ok all, thanks for the warm wishes. I believe she is going to talk to someone tomorrow....How nutsy is that...so scary too! If you ever saw where I lived you would not believe this could happen here.

It is nice to have the neighbors I have we look out for each other.

Send the Yeti our way we can use him!!!

For some reason, I never count Mayberry. I guess I've been close to it for too long. I go to Mt. Airy because it's got the closest Wal-mart. :lol: I worked at the Mayberry Blockbuster when I was in college.

Martinsville- yup. You're related to Reed Sorenson? That's not too piddly- it's an actual blood relation. No relation is too distant in the south. You're approved. B)

She is on disability, and lives pay check to pay check, her daughter lives with her. The woman has a cell phone but her daugther was traveling this weekend. So the cell phone went with her.

We did decided on always knowing if she will be alone without the phone on a weekend.

Excellent idea! If I had a neighboUr like that, I would pay for her phone myself. It would mean someone watching over my place when I'm not there.

They were indeed chocolate chip- good call guys- and according to Luke, they were still gooey when he ate them. :D

My only current goal is to outlaw explosive body fluids for at least 24 hours! :yawwwwn: BTW, I was wrong about Ezra's strep. It's yet ANOTHER sinus infection. This one is so bad that the drainage caused a rash of bumps in his throat.

Since he had a fairly high fever all last night, and I did not sleep-- WHY am I still up!?!?!?! -- but is a lovely 98.7 tonight... I'm off to bed too.

Night everybody!

Wish I could've commented all day, but most of the reading was at stoplights!

And (yay!) shot hoops today for a while. Yup . .. .nice sunny day. No thundersnow & no earthquake.

Yes....my children know all about this hilarious development in Sillyville, and my son apparently took the story to school with him, and shared it with his classmates in circle time. Oh, Gawd....

"My mom knows these other celiacs, and talks to them on the internet. They are keeping count of their farts for 12 hours, and reporting their number to each other throughout the day". OMG OMG. I have a meeting there today at three. :ph34r::lol:

:lol:

Anyone there ask for a current subtotal?

Just thought I would tattle on Mango . . .

:lol:

<emily said claptrap!>

I thought maybe she was trying to simulate caligraphy or something . . . :lol: . . . at a minimum, implying that her pharts are prettier than ours.

Haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! :lol:

Just looking at that sentence continues to crack me up. <look. .. .LOL .. .look .. .LOL & repeat>

Morning, Everybodyyyyy....

we have a new monarch!! A Thousand Hails to thou, Queen Sarah! I am sorry to hear that our Prince Ezra has some nasty sinus stuff happening..we must send the private royal doctor at once!

Wanted to get on here early to say good morning to you, Amanda, and catch up on all that transpired last night. Hope the police have their radars up for you guys, and will be ready to pounce if anything else transpires. Keep starin' them down, brave girl! :)

My only current goal is to outlaw explosive body fluids for at least 24 hours!

The Queen Speaketh, and she maketh terrific proclamations...How about taking the Phart Charts down to zero, across the land? To include the spouses of all subjects..... :rolleyes:

My meeting at Jack's school was put off until this afternoon (looks like I'll be teaching some art there--yippeeee!), but DS has told me that there has been great interest generated within the math department in regards to our intricate....charting and graphing. This is a Montessori school, so they take each and every opportunity to learn, to form life lessons from the most ordinary of things....

Stay tuned...you have all been warned... :huh::lol:

Morning All,

Hi Emily-well indeed it was a quiet night, I actually got sleep and stayed asleep all night with just one sleeping pill! I am not sure if the cops are hiding undercover but hopefully they catch those kids soon. My neighbor said the kids were not there at all, so the cops were maybe letting the mother (who is a HUGE Airhead) know the seriousness of the situation?? If I have to take a gander.

The pow-wow I had with my neighbors in my living room gave us all a chance to vent and to make a plan for each other. When my disabled woman told us of their talks outside, fire bombs and pinning crimes on others, even having a cover-person at a hospital somewhere....well that is scary, I don't know what to go through next. This has taken on a new level now, those things they talked about were things I never thought about....unimaginable things....its put a whole new world of worry into your mind.

Oh and they smoke pot openly outside...how dumb can you be? Especially if one is on probation....After all that they should be caught....just for being stupid!

      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
