I agree, it would be awesome! But NOT in February, when there are three hours of light in a day, and it averages -40....gad. I can't even imagine going outside for my mail, let alone flying along on a dogsled, in this kind of winter. We hope to head up there this summer and we'll have them take us out. Michelle and Ed live in Tagish, which is a community in the bush, about 100 miles from Whitehorse. They have seventy to eighty dogs on their property, all with their own dog houses. It's quite something! :)

I totally agree about waiting till summer--3 hours of light and such extreme cold :o

Sounds like an awsome property, though. :)

OH MY SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just spent ONE HOUR reading, w/ many quotes and posts to address, started writing, they are ALL GONE NOW................ <insert angry face>

I tried and TRIED to invoke the powers of this elusive so-called magic triangle............ :huh:

alas, Susie is too dingo-brained and stricken w/ delirium to be angry over the failings of the triangle and the lost words and thoughts. :lol:

GOOD GAWD??????????? Where to start?

AMANDA - congrats on baby Lydia!!!!!!! And your Wegman's shoot - you are FAMOUS!!!!! You WILL post the link, right?

Tom - - ABSINTHE????????????????????? OMG - how IS it? does it taste normal and real? Susie is pleased......... :rolleyes:

Bev - I was NOT licked to death by Chinese Crested dogs......and I was also in T-R-O-U-B-L-E and also am T-R-O-U-B-L-E itself, as Nicola mentioned. ;)

I have NOT been with that Dastardly Dave (was taht his name? ) of the Yukon quest....insofar as I know...I was NOT overcome by large pointy-eared dogs w/ black noses (only at Dog Park on Saturday).......but there WAS a David here.......... :ph34r::lol:

OMG Janet that "lost cat" - - - sure as hell was the chubacabra, was it not????? :lol:

what else? oh I forgot everything else......

OMG - thread-shattering news of my weekend??????????? ;)

WOULDN"T YOU LIKE TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

It did NOT involve finding nuggets or caramels in the trash....it did NOT involve inheriting the cabin or getting a brand new Toyota ForeRunner......it did NOT involve laying hardwood <oh gawd stop me before I go any further with that> :ph34r: It did NOT involve the flower mart......

It DID involve major sleep deprivation, laughter, romping w/ Annie in various spots, movies, shopping, talking, reading, music, cooking, laughing, smooching, more talking, laughing, walking in the gentle spring sun, wine, flowers, chocolate.......and it DID end up being about the most fun weekend that I"ve had in my...........whole life. :o [but gitcher minds out of the gutter, peeps, because it was wholesome and proper also, just so you understand - Susie has to take her time wif things, you know, and wasn't just SHAGGING all weekend :lol: )

Sillies.......I"m not making any major announcements at this time but........let's just say this - - Susie is not going to have as much time for the silly thread any more and...........also this

Ooh--Bev's in rare form tonight! :P

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Susie snogging with sexy sailors, sounds like a tongue twister :lol::lol:

Methinks Susie ran off on holiday with Jude Law, or to the Hamptons to that beach house....some kind of adventure.

Nuggets could also be involved :lol: Beverly said "skank"

I must admit I have made several trips to the Yukon Quest website.

Look what you started Emily, we are obsessed with all things mush, mushers, mushing! :lol:

OMG- I think you might be onto something. What if it's Jude Law AND his nuggets!! Or...could Susie have gone to the Yukon to pet the pups!!!!!!!!!!!

I want the puppies!!!!!!! When Kurt and I went to Denali in 2001, we hung out with their sled dogs who had just had puppies- I wanted them ALL!!!!!!!

I taught Angus to push last winter....Open Original Shared Link

New Av . . .

If it wasn't for the freaking frigid temps, I think Susie would move to the Yukon for the dogs!!

Woof woof!!!!!!!!

Emily I didn't know that Michelle is your DH's SIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VERY COOL!

      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
