And may I remind you, Nikki, dear, that weeds are GREEN. There is really no need to be concerned about them; from a distance, they blend in.

Exactement. Some weeds are actually a lovely shade of emerald, harlequin or jade. I simply pretend that they are acceptable plants, placed intentionally. . . . . . .. <_<:rolleyes:

You and me both! My 'Susie Homemaker' days are over!

BTW Carla.....For some ridiculous reason I started reading this thread from the beginning and saw that you are a flautist.......me too.

I haven't played in a couple of years, though.

My DD and I would noodle around together when she was in HS. We played a duet for my in-law's anniversary party about 10 or so years ago......DD was in MS. We also played in a quartet for my niece's wedding a few years ago.....that was awesome! And then we played a duet at my son's wedding a couple years ago and I totally blew one song.......too much stress and emotion......I should have never agreed to do it.

Sillies-- This house hunting thing is so un-phunny. We are just not having the luck finding anything....and we arent being too picky either.

My sister had a slight domestic accident this evening, she was sewing on her machine and the needle went through her finger. It was the heaviest gauge needle you could get....split off her nail and she was in the ER to get repairs....of course she had to send me the pics and they were gross!

Omg....ouch!! :( That does sound painphul. Hope she can get some sleep tonight.

Don't lose heart--sometimes it takes time to find the perfect house. It's a big decision, so try and be patient. You'll find it, though--I know it's out there :D Then all this time spent searching will have been well worth it.

It has been a while since I put my silly on and posted here. There have been some troubles in the business world that have diverted my attention. We are working more hours at the moment, but things are actually much better since we got rid of a problem employee on Tuesday. We're off tomorrow, the first day off in almost two weeks. I haven't read everything that I missed, so if I seem clueless about something, well, you know, I'm over fifty now. B)

Things sound better for ya, PeOter - - just as many hours for you, but less stressful, as you have a new, dependable person at the helm. :) So glad to hear this.. . . . .

Had A TERRIFIC evening at my friend's. She is ill, but in so many ways she is just like we were as teenagers. So positive, and happy.. ... . .. and here I was, complaining about my car that needs repairs and the fact that I can't fit the electrician in next week. . . .. ...

Puts things all into perspective, for certain.

I need to see her more often, to realize how incredibly lucky I am.

....How I dassent worry about the silly things that I do. <_<:)

I hear if you sneak up on them very quietly, you can grab 'em before they run away.

Thanks for the reminder. Easy to get caught up in things that, in the long run, are unimportant. Really, the only thing that matters is the people who touch our lives

WooooHOOOOO I'm the first post of the morning!!

I NEVER get to be the first one :D

Yesterday, when I went for my walk, I thought I'd walk a little farther so I went one more street section before turning downhill (ruralesque here, street sections are 1/2 mile).

As it turns out, the streets are named a bit inconsistently (old territorial roads) and I got lost. I ended up at this beautiful little cove and walked along the edge of the water. Roosters off in the distance. The trickle of water down the hill, finish its journey to the sea. The smallest slap of waves as the last of the ocean's power dissipated against the shore.

I'm gonna try to find it again this morning.

Ya beat me to the post, Jess! :D Good morning. . . . . I do hope you find that little heavenly place again this a.m. I WANNA LIVE ON THE OCEAN! I've just got our meandering Ottawa River. .. . .. and hordes of snarky Canada geese squawking and pooping all over everything. Boy, if you were underneath these creatures while they let some of this go in flight, you'd look like a mud-wrestler. . .. . . ... :huh::rolleyes:

Yep. I am SO lucky to have a great friend like this, who not only brings so much to my life, but serves as a constant, valuable reminder of what I've got. Man, all I have to complain about is that my daughter wears stupid clothes and one of my students can't seem to understand the present perfect. . . . . .... <_<

The Ripper returns this afternoon from what must have been a rather wet outdoor experience at cub camp. Everything will be damp, muddy and smelly. Now, this I simply can't help but complain about. . . . . . ...... :rolleyes:

Wow Jess, where you live sounds so beautiphul! Take a wrong turn and end up in a water trickled cove. Nice! :)

      Buckwheat

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
