No, don't worry, it isn't you. It is Emily who reportedly scares new people away.

Once you get to know her, Emily is, well, almost normal (for a silly). :ph34r::wub:

I'm a tired old guy, so I'm off to bed for the night. Carry on, sillies (if anyone is still awake).

Busy busy day here . . . and I didn't even take another stab at the mountain of mulch, but I'm happy to report that my last Market Day Sale (PTO fundraiser of which I am the chairman) has been completed. Suppose to rain tomorrow so probably no mulching then either . . . darn it . . . :rolleyes:

Morning sillies.....Welcome to Friday and a 3-day weekend!!!!! How fun!!!

Does anyone have any big memorial day plans? We are just going to catch ArtsFest and John's family picnic (blah!)

Last night I was out purchasing a new lap top, mine has died....and I only bought a year ago....and John didn't get the warranty since he says they were a waste. It was an HP and I had always sworn by HP, I always had great luck...when I started having problems and I went to research them I found page after page of people with the same problems. HP was not helping either... so I started looking for a new computer and I got a Dell lap top.

I pick it up later today....exciting!

Morning, Sillies!

Looking forward to a moderate, interval-type jog/speed-walk this am wif me dogs. Elisie's legs appear a little stronger, but they're still like sticks...could take some time to build up the muscle mass. Yesterday I looked out the back window where the two of them were running around, and Gus is standing there panting, eyes half-closed, and Elsie is dodging around him, nipping at his bum and chest. Then she manages to get his collar between her teeth (accidentally, I'm sure), plants her front feet and starts tudding madly..."C'mon, c'mon, new friend! Don't just stand there! Life is beautiful! Please run by my side with reckless abandon!!" Gus now notices me in the window, and stares, a combination of this :huh: and this <_< .

Well, Elsie did give up, and just stood there chewing on his collar. :lol:

No, don't worry, it isn't you. It is Emily who reportedly scares new people away.

:lol::lol:

King Peter, I am very happy that you chose red for me name...it is the universal coloUr for caution, danger....stopping.....insanity... :lol:

I have the most disgusting HUGE blister on the sole of my foot after yesterdays marathon walk.

Nikki! Ewwwwwwwww....

Ya need to pop it.

Speaking of marathon-type matters, I am running with my kids (think it'll be more walking wif them) in the Ottawa Race Weekend tomorrow night....think we're just in a 5K.

Hmmmmm....speaking of blisters...... <_<

:lol: I can just picture this! How did your dad do yesterday? All good, I hope :)

Mornin' Sillies....nothin much to report. Gearing up for yet ANOTHER weekend of painting. The casein'ing is winding it's way down--just a lingering headache <_<

On the sunny side (hee hee), it's supposed to be a delightful weekend here--sunny, warmer, and no rain! B) We may see the new Indiana Jones movie :)

Nikki--heinous blister :angry:

Phataughm--we saw footage of the wildfires in SC on the news....wow

Amanda--I have a Dell laptop....of course it's on vacation right now :lol: --but I've been very happy with it. Glad to hear you're picking yours up today! :D

We MAY be in the area for the Psillies Psummit, but we'll see. If DW can get the time off of work then maybe.

DELL may make some of the best computers IMHO. We have a desktop AND a laptop from them, and they both work VERY well and we've had no problems with either.

I had my DD at the dentist for the first time yesterday, and I was amazed and proud that she did not even cry of fuss AT ALL! She is such a good girl. Even the Dentist was psurprised (did I get it?) She was asking this morning if she had to go back today to make sure her teeth stayed shiny. LOL

Well, off to walk the dog and get some more domestic type work done.

All right...DELL makes fine computers...who makes fine digital cameras? I have only bought one, an inexpensive HP about six years ago, and it has died. So, I'm in the market for a new one. I want great picture quality, and a lithium battery. Anybody got any recommedations? (Note that I have not started a separate thread on this, as we Sillies know absolutely everything, and there's never any need)..... ;):)

We have a Sony and a Pentax--the Sony is easier to use so we almost never even use the Pentax. Don't know what kind of battery it uses, though :ph34r:

Picture quality is great, though, IMHO. :)

We have a SONY as well. It is very user friendly and takes great pictures. We took it on holidays, and have pictures we will cherish for a long time.

As far as that goes, we DO spell like Brits up here, with a small amount of French spellings thrown in. It can get VERY confusing sometimes. :)

Did you know that Dole :angry: processes their dates in a facility that processes wheat?

I sure didn't since I've been snacking on them for the last week.

Now I wonder if it was the casein in the creamer that's been making me sick :unsure: I can't believe I'm still playing the "what made me sick" game after all this time :blink:

I suspected them because I stopped using the creamer and was struck with D again this morning :( --and I called them.

For the love of Pete! :angry: (sorry PeOter--not you ;) )

Yes- I realize in this emoticon I have no eyebrows :P

No, don't worry, it isn't you. It is Emily who reportedly scares new people away.

Once you get to know her, Emily is, well, almost normal (for a silly). :ph34r::wub:

We eschew normality!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't fear Emily- I fear the quiet ones who lurk without posting under anonymity- oh wait- that's you Pieter :P:lol:

So maybe I still have a chance. :unsure: But the longer I wait, the more I worry. :( AARRGHH!

I hope you get it but, there is the Philly Psilly Psummit!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

:lol::lol:

I took my dad to his proceedure this afternoon, and during the car ride I told him about my superb idea of taking both him and Elsie to the vet's, as he could likely get the tests done there in as timely a manner, and I'd only be hitting one place. He thought that this would be a very novel approach to health care. "But", he said, "let's take it a step further, and REALLY multi-task. While you got Elsie's microchip, they could have shot one into my neck as well, and into those of any other senior headed for dementia. I don't know who I am, I go wandering the streets one night - - that chip will tell my tale".

Emily- :lol: :lol: :lol: your dad is THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a great idea :ph34r:

Nikki! Ewwwwwwwww....

Ya need to pop it.

Oh darling...be careful. Last time I popped a blister I ended up with cellulitis (no not cellulite- already had that :P). But then again, I am a vortex of bacteria :ph34r:

Delightful weekend here as well. Overcast. A bit of drizzle. Perfect for all of us that live in Seattle on purpose. :)

Jess- Can I come live wif you for da summah? I wub Seattle and it's nice and cool. I could be your cats' nanny or your chef/personal assistant/limo driver/cleaning lady. I do not do windows. :lol:

Well...I have always considered popping them the correct approach, but it seems we're both right, Nikki:

Decide whether to prick or not to prick. Once you have a blister, you have to decide what's best to do with it. That is, should you protect it and leave it alone, or should you prick it and drain the fluid?

"I think it depends on the size of the blister," says Suzanne Tanner, M.D., a private practitioner in Denver, Colorado, who specializes in sports medicine. "A purist will probably tell you not to prick it, because then you don't run any risk of infection. But I think for most people that's just not very practical."

While purists do indeed exist, our experts say you should prick large blisters that are painful, while leaving intact smaller blisters that cause no discomfort. "When you have a big blister that's in a weightbearing area, you almost have to drain it," says Clare Starrett, D.P.M., a professor at the Foot and Ankle Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. "They can get so full they get like a balloon."

Also, blisters that are likely to break on their own should be drained by you, our experts say. That way, you can control when and how the blister is opened, instead of leaving it to chance.

I'd say pop it!

Oh, Gad....not dates, now?... :blink::angry:

I think they are a Dole product....... :(:angry:

Craisins are by Ocean Spray....still wouldn't put it past 'em to make them right along with wheat somephin or other <_<

The Dole guy also said that the parfait that has caramel apple (?) contains barley--so I just thought I'd pass that along.

Ah well, ya live and learn :D

Lordy, I'm tired! Been cleaning most of the day. A friend dropped by with her daughters. Her older daughter is 3 1/2, and Oh... mah... gah... She and Ezra have been in love since she was born, I swear. The cuteness that occurs when they're together is indescribable!

Speaking of Ezra... he had the off of school, and we ran into a convenience store after dropping Luke off at school. I told him he could pick out a small piece of candy, and he chose this tiny little spray bottle of liquid candy (sugar.) After breakfast, I let him open it, and while we're trying to figure out how it works-- he sprayed liquid candy right into my left eye. :blink: Omg, it burned! Actually it still burns a little. <_<

Hopefully, that'll be the only injury of the day.

Got a busy weekend going... Tonight, Luke's class is putting on a song and dance routine at the PTO fundraiser festival. Tomorrow he has a b-day party to go to, and Sunday Ezra has a b-day party to go to. Wish me luck!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you
