M-m-m....does it quack? Cuz if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck......

Then it's, indeed, a duck. :lol:

It's like a duck with a smaller, rather curved beak... .. perhaps more a budgie....

Busy night, and I TRY to pretend I know what you all are talking about, it just seemed easier to ask. And I thought I could offer a few chuckles.

And YES....those were THE biggest exclamation marks I think I've ever seen.

BTW I got the new Avatar to work, so enjoy.

:lol::lol::lol: I will say . . . you do catch on quick!!

And the name thang is a good thang . . . lots of the psilly names actually stand for something else . . . problem is, can't quite remember . . . hmmmmm

If you scare someone off (such as with an anal gland question) . . . you've Em'd them.

If you post something hillarious but nobody noticed . . . you've been Bev'd.

When you've been hit with an unsuspecting zinger . . . you've been Patti'd.

When you had something phunny to say but can't remember any more . . . you Dingo'd it.

When you've got something important to do but keep procrastinating (especially by camping out on the silly thread) . . . you're pulling a Susie.

Hey?? How'd she get two??

Can't remember the others . . . are there others??

Oh mah gah.... I gotta tell you guys...

So I went back to the Dr to get blood drawn, and the boys and I saw a brand new red Mustang out the back door. The boys, of course, were fascinated. They both love cars, though Lucas is certified Car Crazy. Turns out it was our doctor's daughter's car.

So she had her daughter come back and chat with the boys while I was having the blood draw, and you guys... my boys were SMITTEN! She's probably about 17 or so, and after we left, all the boys could talk about was how preeeeettttty she was, and how SUHWEET her car is!

:rolleyes:

Excellent summary, Janet!

I believe sometime over the winter I earned one:

If you spend a few days just reading and not posting, you pulled a Sarah. :rolleyes:

It has been an interesting day. Violent weather moved through the region this afternoon. We were at the store, and had torrential downpours.

Where we live, the thunderstorms were more severe, with hail the size of golf balls. There was much damage to trees which lost branches and leaves. Our deck was covered with debris, as was much of the neighboUrhood. The screen on my office window, which faced into the storm, has eleven holes in it varying in size up to an inch in diameter.

The yeti was last seen in a crossword puzzle I worked about a week ago, I seem to recall that he was 29 Across.

Tomorrow Jacquie and I will enjoy a day off together. It will be our last for the foreseeable future, barring a miracle. As of Friday noon, it will be just the two of us The person who we took on a couple of weeks back found it to be just too much.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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.
