Wow, Sarah! :o

We usually get your tornado/hurricane news quite promptly up here, but I heard nothing of it this morning - - I'm so glad that you guys and your property are okay.

Janet's in Indiana, I think...just a couple of states from you, and we haven't heard from her in a few days. Hope everything is okay there....Which states were hit?

North Carolina and Virginia were both hit really hard last night. We've been watching the coverage, both local and on MSNBC, and I cannot believe how freaking lucky we are. There were two tornadoes on either side of us, one really close, but we got missed. :blink: If anyone watches MSNBC, when they show the aerial footage of Greensboro, that's the section that Brian's building is in. They're just now letting a few building owners into the area.

Yeah, I miss Janet-- where did she go?!

Neither one can be allowed to achieve alpha-dog position. At all times, the alpha-dog must be a sentient biped. You are the clear first choice for this role. If you can dominate the quadrupeds in the house, you may eventually be able to dominate the other bipeds. :ph34r:

:lol: :lol: sentient biped - - that cracked me up!!!!!!! <um, there IS no sentient biped around here :huh: >

Don't Just Cover Up Bad Odors. Get Ptauoghm! <I don't think I like the sound of that>

Gads! Tornadoes! How scary. So much power and destruction with no control (kinda like adding a new animal into your existing complement :P ).

Alpha biped! Not in my house.

Sarah, happy late birthday!! Glad you all are OK!!

Janet's in Indiana, I think...just a couple of states from you, and we haven't heard from her in a few days. Hope everything is okay there...

Yes, everything is OK here. Just lots going on . . . lots of dr appts for the kids . . . everything is OK there, too, just plugging along trying to figger out my son's growth issues. I saw a therapist yesterday. My son will start seeing him to help him deal with his anxiety over medical procedures. If he doesn't start packing on some weight soon, they'll start the elimination testing (to make sure it's not <fill in the blank>) to clear him to go on the human growth hormone. Hopefully, the therapist will teach him some relaxation/calming/coping skills.

But the real mess going on right now is at our elementary school . . . big fight with the school board . . . totally useless principal . . . PTO president is fed up and quit . . . lots and lots of meetings and highly emotional emailing.

Love all the new avs . . . I don't think Mr Chow and I look alike at all!!!

My daughter got in trouble at school this week for whining. I asked her what she was whining about and she answered . . . "We were suppose to be writing nice things about our moms and I couldn't think of anything!" . . . :huh:. . . :o . . . <_< . . . :lol:

Then, last night I made fried chicken for supper. We probably should have had baked chicken but my son likes fried chicken better and I just want him to EAT!!! So the whole meal he kept complaining that the chicken "didn't taste too good" . . . "something was wrong with it." After about a half a dozen of comments like those, Hubby told him to give it a rest. I'm reaaaalllllly looking forward to this mother's day.

OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!! :lol: Omg, that's so cold, you gotta laugh. Sounds like something Ezra would say. :rolleyes:

I have to admit, I am surprised that your son didn't have a growth spurt after going gluten-free. I really thought he would. Keep us updated!

Yes....could be rather tornado-like in this house over the next weeks.....

...Where to put that bloody second dog bed? There is room in the bathtub.... <_<

Yes, everything is OK here. Just lots going on . . .

Hey! Janet's here....with a full plate! Heinous school issues, DS's growth curve - - that's just yucky. At least there's lots of action in the medical community, trying to figger out why your little guy isn't thriving. Has he been gluten-free long enough for the diet to be considered ineffective? You must keep us in the loop!

Heading off right now to take MY DS to an allergist...Jack's had chronic congestion for a million years, off and on, but mostly on. Doesn't seem to correspond with anything seasonal. He's had negative allergy tests to everything enviornmental and all foodstuffs. So, hopefully this specialist will shed some light. I'm SO TIRED of hearing him sniffle and snort....and I believe his teachers are, as well.... :rolleyes:

. . . in the dryer? . . . would be nice and cozy warm in there!!

He is actually no longer gluten free. He was gluten-free for about 7 months. His growth rate actually slowed down during the diet (he is a major bread-aholic). He did not compensate for the bread calories removed. He just did without (with a fair amount of complaining). I think the GI was the most dissappointed. That was a hey-nus appt though. The GI's what-all-possible-things-that-could-be-wrong-but-shouldn't-say-out-loud-because-it-is-sooooo-unlikely-and-it-will-freak-out-the-parents filter was not working.

I'm SO TIRED of hearing him sniffle and snort....and I believe his teachers are, as well.... :rolleyes:

Can't stand this sound!!! I am likely to scream from the other side of the house . . . BLOW YOUR NOSE!!!!!

Sarah, please tell me that the dog in your av has had those puppies!!!! OMGAWD!!!! That poor dog!!! It doesn't look like she could even walk in that condition!!

:lol: That pic is actually from last year. She is pregnant again right now and due in a few weeks. The pic in my av was taken just a couple days before she gave birth, and yeah she couldn't walk much at that point. Her belly dragged the ground. :o My friend is a small breeder, and she dotes on that dog like you wouldn't believe. Don't worry :lol: she gets carried everywhere toward the end of her pregnancies!

I should go get a pic of her when she's not pregnant, so you guys can see how pretty she is!

From my BIL . . .

When I say I'm broke, I AM BROKE

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be

confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man..

"If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to

demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I'm broke and haven't got any

money!" and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and

pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen

my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway

carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse

manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork,

'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

It's posts. Fifteen to a page, I believe. Ptaoughmn's the one who knows all this stuff - - the guy who's sweeter than a caress.... :lol::lol:

So, how do we get Rachel into Sillyville to ramp up our page numbers? Is she very Silly? does she have photogenic neighboUrs?

I should go get a pic of her when she's not pregnant, so you guys can see how pretty she is!

OMG....

You think that little dog transforms when pregnant....I was SO scary as a pregnant woman...((((shudder))).....huge, hair falling out, dark circles....I'll be sure to put one of them pics up......Gaaaaaaaahhhhh....................

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork,

'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

Travelling vacuum-cleaner salesmen...gotta luv 'em. Where are they all now? They seem to be an extinct breed. Anybody have one come to their door in the last...thirty years?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      By trents · Posted

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
