Hi Carla!!! Been a long time since I saw you.

We are terrible today....a lot of people have either taken the day off or went home early so we are just piddling around on the net. It has been so long since I had a day like this!

It has been a while Amanda since you've been able to anything more than a drive by from work.

Nikki: I believe that you are pregnant.

:o OMGawd....could it be? :o

I was doing so well Sun/Mon, I just had to test Tjoe's new organic fake fritos, in the hope that, like tomatoes, the Organic aspect would make it ok.

Nope. Have had a slow mushy brain ever since, but getting better now.

Ahh yes Peeder, where has the Common Sense gone . ...

Sorry 'bout the mushy brain and all, Pataughm....is it too much to ask to have a freaking treat once in a while??? :angry:

And you said "Peeder" :lol:

What's wrong with my post count?????

Oh Cahr-lah....nothing wrong, per se....it's just that you are getting pretty close to a roll-over to a number so far mostly unheard of.....except of course by Moi. :D Here in Sillyville, such noteworthy post rollovers are commonly met with phluid onslaughts. Word to the wise--check yer plumbing and carry an umbrella ;)

Ugh! I have a sore throat from H-E-double hockey sticks.

Double ugh! Feel better soon, Julie :D

Sorry you missed these, Alex:

:lol: :lol: :lol: OMG - she'll be thrilled to hear that

Awwww Weezeee!!! I miss that always by my side furry friend :(

'tis an unfailing comfort........JOO-LEE!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST get another......even when you are sick, they are right there, requiring little. :wub:

OMG - right now, Weezee is crouched at the front door in her sphinx position (cutest thing EVER), waiting for Daddy....... :lol: (who is out on his blasted MOTORCYCLE :angry: )

and Julie - sorry about your sore throat - heinous!

About your kitty Will, sounds like he skipped the toddler years and went straight into his teens. Look at what he is pulling already :lol:

:lol: yes - a true teenaged kitty, that Will!

Sensible Observations:

1) When I die, I want to die like my grandfather--who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Frozen short exam on a stick?

:huh::lol: Took me a sec, Ptaoughmnhmn....... :lol:

Well, I now have both of my children home for the summer. A superb final concert....Jack was quintessentially librarianish - - he truly captured the spirit, the mindset and the attitude that encompasses one of these hard-working individuals. His big sister sat beside me chortling away, saying things like, "Gawd, he looks like such a major dweeb"......I quietly told her to wait for the hockey pads scene........this quietened her. :lol:

Gawd, Ptaoughmghmn, I'm a bit concerned.......I'm starting to read things the way you do......

It was another way to read Julie's :emoticon:.....the word "quiz" was there, and "icicle", I believe......Having trouble remembering....it was very phunee and clever at the time! :rolleyes:

Jack came into the room and asked one of his great questions:

Why do we say that people are "head over heels" when they're in love? Aren't we normally this way?

:lol: :lol: I actually can't believe how nice those dresses are. But I spilled about half a class of wine (white thank gawd!) on my chest area at the reception so things may have gotten a little R-rated had I been wearing one of those beauties.

Yeah for Jack! Sounds like a very charming concert. Must be great for his confidence too!

So I saw Get Smart with my grandpa this evening. It was quite good -- funny, entertaining. I wouldn't say superb but good. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this bit I almost ate licorice at the theatre! What's wrong with me? The second ingredient is wheat flour! Licorice just doesn't immediately make me think gluten. I bought it and almost ate it without looking at the ingredients. I really am careful -- I just nearly lost my mind for a minute. But thankfully crisis averted.

Right now my bro is over watching the NHL draft with Ryan. It's quite agonizingly boring! I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

I think the term comes from "falling head over heels" in love. Apparently, when one falls, the heels at some point may be higher than the head.

Or not..... :lol:

Good Saturday morning, Sillies!

Sophie spent all last evening turning her room upside down, gathering junk material to sell at her friend's garage sale today. She came into the living room with a garbage bag FULL of evidence of her pack-rat status.

I did an unwise thing. I peeked in the bag. GAH!! I whip out her two stuffed bears that were given to her, a year apart, when she passed senior kindergarten, then grade one. Ya GOTTA keep those!! Then, more unwise manouvers - - dug down some more <_< , and there was her Etch-a-sketch that we gave her for Christmas when she was four, and she and I sat with it on her bed every night concocting amazing faces and animals together....What are you thinkin' Sophie? This STAYS!

Then the beading set she got from Grandma when she was in bed with the chicken pox, to keep her occupied....the autographed photo of Walter Gretzky.....AND....wait for this.....CARE BEAR figurines ("Sophie, you HAVE TO keep these, in honour of Sillyville. Don't you understand??")

Gad. She left with a small box of things.... :lol::lol:

I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

:(:(

This flashes me back a couple of years, when The Ripper was a liitle boy in the school yard, ALWAYS last picked for ANY sports team....such a cruel way for them to organize a gym class..... :angry:

Sounds like heels over head to me!!!!! :D:P

Shins over skull? Metatarsal over mandible? <persondible?>

Just don't have the same ring, do it? :rolleyes:

This is what my Friday nights have come to--sitting at the computer in my jammies, eating almond butter from the jar. Don't know if I can take much more excitment :lol:

:lol: I hear you on that one, Patti!

Now I gotta get up early and call the phone company so they don't send a guy out here after all. :rolleyes:

Sarah!! Don't call and cancel! Let the guy come by.....could be a Pattiplumber-type..... :rolleyes::)

Well, I've already been on hold for 10... no, make that 13 minutes, trying to get through to someone to tell them not to send the guy, sooo........ He could show at any time.

And I really have to go poop. To hang up, or not to hang up?

Took the phone to bathroom with me and figured, "Oh well, if someone comes on the line while I'm in here, well... at least it's not diarrhea." But I'm done and still on hold. <_<

Every once in awhile, a recording comes on and says that "all their technicians" are currently assisting other people. Yeah right, this is Surry County. It's one 17-year-old computer genius sitting there all by himself. Whatev. Other than that, I've listened to the same Rachmaninov three times now. Hopeless.

Well, POOPY COW. I gave up. I guess I gotta, like, get dressed now or something. I was hoping I could make a quick call and lay back down and snooze for awhile longer. Now I feel like it's too late. <_<

Brian and Ezra are up in PA, by the way, for a reunion. Luke and I stayed down here. It feels so... QUIET! :rolleyes:

Jeeze Sarah--the one day you coulda lazed around and you have to get dressed and wait for a tech that you don't even need :angry:

I say, you honestly tried to call them.....tape a nice note to your door saying that you tried several times to call and cancel the appointment --the problem has resolved itself, and you had to run out.

Then, go snuggle back under the covers :D

Tis quiet indeed. I'm here. I am doing domestic chores and errands today while Jacquie covers the store, so I will be in and out, and probably more out than in.

Emily calls Sophie a pack rat, and then tells her she must keep a bunch of old stuff. I seem to recall something about a pot and a kettle. :lol::D

Aren't call centers the most wondrous thing in the world, Sarah? :angry:

      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.
