Hey Janet - - how is your boy doing? haven't heard anything.....and I rarely leave the safety of this wackl thread any more........

He's doing OK. They say this surgery is much worse on adults. I have decided it's because their mothers aren't there to make them eat and drink which is key in healing quickly. He would prefer not to eat at all and I tell him he has to . . . and he does pretty good. Last night was the first night that he (and therefore I) slept through without having to get up for more pain meds.

Moved on to any solids yet??...or still on the ice cream :P

Well, of course I am still on ice cream . . . Oh, you mean my son??? :embarrassedface:

See previous post . . . I forced him to eat some solids starting yesterday and we have progressed today. He wanted to know if he could have some crisps potato chips. I told him he could and that he needed to chew them verrrrrrryyyyy well so they wouldn't scratch. He had two!!! He snubbed his nose at my homemade banana milkshakes . . . I of course ruined them by adding . . . bananas!!!

Quickie update... They've made huge progress on the fire this afternoon, and although it's still burning, it definitely looks like the worst is over!

Glad to hear all is well with DS, Janet...man, I could use a surgical incision in my throat right now, causing high pain when swallowing foodstuffs. That boy doesn't know how lucky he is!! <_<:rolleyes:

Okay, there are two pages to go until the Royal Flipover, and of course, I will be out this evening. Please keeps posting to a bare minimum until tomorrow afternoon, when I can sit for an hour or so, waiting....watching...coiled and ready to spring..... :lol:

:wub:

OMG - you have no idea. Yes, we do have the look. when we were at David's on St. Pat's day, w/ about 10 people over, three of them (including Jenn) were pretending, while we were saying goodbye, to collectively vomit in this large paper bag one of them was carrying. Then, this guys says......"oh look! I can vomit from them without even sticking my finger down my throat!!"

And Jenn says....."that's why I call them my Kisseys." :lol:

:lol: yes, what can she be doing tonight? during this important reign-changing event?

Yes, the wedding will be outside in the desert, actually, on horseback, at a saloon, bar wenches and saloon doors creaking, tumbleweeds, a big old shootout, spurs, coyotes, all of it. :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!! what in hell do I wear on the plane? :huh: You would all DIE if I told you the last time I was on a plane. I"m actually too embarrassed to tell you all. But, it was BEFORE 9/11. :( ( I do love flying - - but never have any money to travel and......being out of my comfort zone has always been difficult for me).

I ALWAYS ALWAYS look really ugly when I travel. There is no getting around this. Hair turns out badly, I get stains on myself, rumpled clothing, ugly outfits.....dear gawd. Poor David.

:lol: :lol:

okay well - - I guess I"ll wear jeans on the plane and.....some dark-ish shirt or sweater....lest I really DO have some spillage accident ( I wear a lot of white and 'tis just not practical for traveling - or, even for living, for that matter :blink )

A barely audible creaking noise punctuates the windless silence. Rusty hinges on the saloon half-doors protest quietly as a figure pushes through them. She stands in shadow...an odd curl of flaxen hair is illuminated by the setting sun, as is the smoke furling slowly from a long cigarette held brazenly in her gloved hand. She moves forward a step, and the light now catches the full crimson of her parted lips, shining beads around her long, pale neck.....

It is the alehouse slattern, emerging into the evening light to witness the Russian roulette match that will decide it all....which lover will take claim of her, forever....

Emily is going out tonight. Emily has a social life. Who knew?

Sarah's phire is losing strength. Hmm. I don't think that sounds like what I mean, that is, oh darn, just phorget it. Sarah, I do hope things are looking up phor you and your phamily.

Ptaum, as your second reign nears the end, and we await your successor, do you have any phinal royal thoughts as our only two-term (not consecutive) leader?

And Susie is off to Lost Wages for a wedding! But it isn't hers. I expect that will come in the course of time, but I suppose that Alex and Ryan will get there phirst. Alex, we haven't heard phrom you lately.

Okay, this was just a bunch of random thoughts. A phine phit in the happy phamily we call Sillyville.

It's Phriday Knight, time for a little phun before the weak end really starts. ;)

Just got back from the neighbors where we the moms and kids watched "Enchanted" and the dads watched basketball . . . hmmmmm, doesn't seem quite right.

My daughter has lost another tooth today. The second one this week. Right after we got home, she asks my husband "you want to know why my mouth feels weird" and my son immediately responded with "because it's tired from you blabbering all the time" . . . he's feeling better.

so. y'all remember my rant from a few pages back about the woman I had to work next to who spent most of her time websurfing?

Well there was kind of a big blowout today and my boss asked me what I thought would help my frustration. I said that I was planning to switch desks as soon as our student left at the end of the year. He offered me a different desk that was far less desirable, which I declined. Then I left early (after only 8 hours...). well, I just checked my email and she sent me a note saying she was moving her desk (to the less desirable desk) and I could find her there if I had anything to say to her.

I expect she'll still spend her time surfing, but at least I won't have to be around it.

GAH!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Good one!

Well, they'd gotten the fire pretty much put out on our side, but now it's cresting the top and trying to come back over again. <_< We've got a 20% chance of rain tomorrow though, that would help.

Maybe I'll go do a raindance out on the back deck!!! That would be fun.

I don't get it! He asks what would help your frustration... instead of asking her to curb her surfing! Something about that is bizarre.

Yeah, at least she's far away now, at The Crappy Desk.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      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.
