P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Edit P.P.S. OK, maybe I'm badmouthing it too much. I just didn't have much fun at all in my recent 2yrs there. As long as you're visiting someone whose company you enjoy - well, I guess that's a good enough reason to brave the pounding relentless demon sun.

:lol: I, living in a desert, am in TOTAL agreement with Ptaum. I totally don't understnad why people go to Palm Springs, Phoenix, any desert region in the freakin' summer, of all things. I HATE THE HEAT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :ph34r::huh: rant over. :lol:

Just a couple of days ago I read AAA's "Via" magazine, there was some fab hotel in Phoenix (or was it Palm Springs? Have dingo'd it) and I read the article in fascination.........as it reported that this hotel's busiest season was summer. What in hell, I though to myself. well, all guests reportedly spend virtually ALL DAY in the hotel's pool........many families eating all three meals poolside, never leaving.

Um, I'll just stay in my air-conditioned house, thank you veddy much, and travel to these hellholes in the dead o' winter. :lol:

:lol: Editing to fix the date--at first, I typed "1772"! I ain't quite that old :D

:lol: No you ain't!

Am currently experiencing a moment of...........pleasant boredom? Not ennui...........not quite apoplectic boredom.............'tis a new thing. Playful boredom? Contented ennui? :lol: dunno yet........

OMG........This relentless desert heat sounds every bit as bad as the unimaginable stuff DH had to live (and work) through in August and September '04, when hurricanes Jean and Ivan tore a devastating path of destruction across the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and The Bahamas. He flew down and worked through all the insurance claims with a disaster relief organization. There was no electricity anywhere, (no refrigeration or air condidtioning), and sooooooooo tropically humid....August in these islands is easily over 100 F, and the heaviest of tropical air........I don't quite know how he managed.

Still.....I might have enjoyed being invited along....lying on some beach.......

No such luck.

Hopefully next time!

Okay, folks, I have exposed myself. I mean, the cloaking device is off and I am not anonymous. What did you think I meant? :ph34r:

Interesting things are happening in our little world. As you know, we are losing both of our part-time employees. C worked his last shift tonight, and will drop by tomorrow to trade his key for a paycheck. H works her final shift tomorrow morning. We get an evening together and a relaxed morning for what may be the last time in a while. :(

We are interviewing someone tomorrow afternoon who looks good on paper, but knows nothing of our business. It will take weeks to train her, but she would be permanent.

Out of the blue yesterday, we got a resume from a university student. Now, we don't normally hire summer students because it takes too long to train them to get any return on investment before they go back to school. But this guy has had summer jobs in 2005 and 2006 at our store. It was a corporate store then, so we would have to teach him what things we as franchisees do differently. But total training cost would be very low, so a summer hire might make sense in this case. :)

There is an ancient Chinese curse I have been told: "May you live in interesting times." Hmmm.

A "think about this" post is coming. Watch this space. B)

There's not a lotta there there, but you might want to visit Scottsdale's Old Town district and/or Tempe's Mill Ave.

Oh wait .. . .didn't you say you'd like the dry heat? There are good hiking parks all around. Lemme know how much you like heat after that. :lol:<_< (Bring 3x the amount of water you'd expect)

Here's list of other Phx stuff Open Original Shared Link

Thanks!

Nah ... Phx, Scottsdale, Tempe etc all adjacent.

P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Um, NO, I'm going for a Drs appointment. I figured I'd take advantage of being there and see or do something.

He makes me laugh SO HARD that I nearly wet myself last night. :lol: It was when he was imitating me and my purposeful, busy, very fast walk 'round the house, transporting things to and fro............

And what is Annie doing whilst this is happening? Is she laying down with her head on a swivel watching you go to and fro, or is she passed out somewhere else in the house??

No, you both have your clothes on. Get nekked, take and post another pic, and then maybe we can talk about pornography eroticism. :lol:

Must go see this pornographic picture, I always read signed out and then hit reply and it signs me in, so I miss seeing the avatars first....

Tho passionate, I'm sure, a forceful nose-smushing kiss wouldn't be rated beyond PG-13 by even Dana Carvey's ChurchLady.

Yes, the Jack Nicholson method. ;)

I'm checking out another "Music in the (other) Park" .. .. .eh the opener is just a duo. New av anyway ;)

I saw this on another board that I still read, but haven't posted to in years, in the middle of a flame war about legal liability. It struck a chord with me, and I think it will with you. Two posts later a moderator locked the thread. I'm glad it lasted long enough for this to get posted. If you want the link, send me a PM--I don't think it would be a good fit here.

Obituary of the late Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; life isn

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
