Well, I do have AC and it is needed in a three-story structure with a flat roof. It is a bit cooler than it was yesterday morning, but by afternoon it will be hot and humid with more thunderstorms.

Open Original Shared Link The observations are taken at Buttonville Airport, 4 km due west of my home. I'm not near any flight path from there. The two runways intersect in an "X" shape, with vectors NNE and SSE.

All that swing has reminded me that I WILL learn to tango after this stupid IV is out...so sassy! I love this

Morning, all!

All right - - everybody who has this HEINOUS Amazon Jungle-like weather happening - - who of you has air conditioning? NO sympathy for you. Howevah, if you are like me, and dying in a hot house (at least we're in a bungalow... ...), well, we can sweat and commiserate together....:soakedpantingface:

BEV!!! Is that FINALLY Uncle Ray in your av???!! Fan-f*ckin-TAS-tic!! :D:D

Yes- sweltering in hell here- 104 today and 107 tomorrow- they've issued a heat cramp warning! WTH is HEAT CRAMP warning?

Yes- tis our very own Uncle ray. :D :D

He sends this:

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady

because she had just gotten married -- for the fourth time.

The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about

what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new

husband's occupation.

'He's a funeral director,' she answered.

'Interesting,' the newsman thought. He then asked her if she

wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three

husbands and what they did for a living.

She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all

those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face

and she answered proudly, explaining that she'd first

married a banker when she was in her early 20s, then a

circus ringmaster when in her 40s, later on a preacher when ;

in her 60s, and now in her 80s, a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked

why she had married four men with such diverse careers.

She smiled and explained, 'I married one for the money, two

for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.'

cold and rainy here.

Saw something I thought was amusing. A prison transport bus, completely with caged interior, with the destination sign on the front reading "EXPRESS". Not sure why I thought that was so hilarious.

OMG - this is so decadent - am sitting in living room, on couch, using kissey's laptop......luxurious and comfy but - don't like using these blasted things - got all me keys in the wrong place....... :blink: (Kissey has made my house wireless, somehow. But pleeze don't axe me how)

I do NOT know how you all are watchign the horse race.......I can hardly bring myself to do it at all, and will NEVER do it again, after that broken ankle in the last race..... :sadsadsadface: I just feel too sorry for the horses and worry that something bad will happen.........gahhhhhhh...................

Susie, I had the same difficulty when I first got my laptap, it was so .........foreign :huh: Took a long time to adjust to the keys and the whole set up. One year later, I can't imagine going back to my PC. I do think I make more typing/spelling errors though, I think the keys require a harder push or sumfin. I tap on them and sometimes it doesn't take.

And I feel the same about the horse race, can not watch after what happened with that poor horse :((

No real recipe, actually. Just take whatever ribs you like---beef, pork

When I fix pot roast, (I usually add water and bouillon, steak seasoning and/or garlic powder and pepper) once I take

Just got back from dancin' (west coast swing)...my all time favorite thing to do :D:D:D

More beef talk :blink:

Lisa, swing dancing sounds like SO much fun!!!! Yay for you :)

Years ago I wanted to learn how to country line dance, and ever since Dancing With The Stars has been on I've wanted to learn how to ballroom dance. I must DANCE!!!!

Ugh....This was one of the longest weeks I've had in some time...and I need to blow off some steam!

Ryan, hope you have recovered from your long stressful week.

Yes, the recitals are quite the production these days. My nieces do the same drill.

More heinousity here, having to do with what else???? Yep, water. I tell ya, it's something new every day :angry:

Oh NO Patti! :o

More visits from the plummer?

That would be right along with the Loch Ness Monster, aliens and Elvis. :lol::lol::lol:

:lol: Uncle Ray

Bev!!! I love that movie Shall We Dance!

I probably shouldn't mention it's kind of cooler here :ph34r: I don't know what the deal is, usually we are right up there with you all with the sweltering heat.

I missed saying bon voyage to Nikki. I want to go to bonnie Scotland!!!!!

We got up this morning and had a pleasant breakfast out on the deck.

Peter, your deck sounds like a LOVELY place, always having breakfasts and dinners out there. Do you take reservations?

I've taken some ballroom dancing lessons, but doubt if I remember much of it :huh: The problem with a dance studio is that you have a group lesson, then you go home. You have to go back on a dance night to put it into practice...if you haven't already forgotten. And the place where hubby and I went, the other people seemed a bit snobby and not welcoming to new people. <_< Dance clubs usually have an hour of lessons and a few hours of dancing afterward.....and...people mingle more. Experienced dancers take you under their wing. :D....and it's cheap!

I can do a little salsa, night club 2-step and hustle. My favorite show is So You Think You Can Dance. :D AWESOME!!!!!

OMG....and that infamous question fits in very well, here, and coincidentally, Jack asked me this yesterday, so I shall posit it to everyone:

Where did you find yourself when you heard Elvis had died?

It was a momentous day for me - - August 16, 1977......My mom and I went shopping together for my first bra. I was wearing it, amazed at how uncomfortable it felt and how everyone would be staring, when the news flashed on the TV screen. So funny how things become paired in our consciousness..... ..

Whenever I purchase a new brassierre, I think of Him...... :DB)

Okay, everybody, make me feel old here. There are, as far as I know, only three of us over fifty, and only one older than me. I'm the oldest male here. Does that make me the Crown Prince of Silly Old Age? :huh:

Oh, wait, I used to be the king. I am not dead, but I am not the king anymore. I must be Open Original Shared Link :D:D

Oh, wait, he's dead too. :(

I guess I'm just me, that crazy old phart they call the oracle. Who knew? :rolleyes:

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
