Oh he has mastered that facial expression! He does the arched brow and eye squint like no other!!! :lol:

I like to look out for the flared nostril also, now that is talent if they can throw that in there too.

Oh, I forgot to tell you guys-- I started Ezra on a children's DHA Omega 3 supplement, and a B complex. This combo is starting to gain popularity for children who have all kinds of issues: bipolar, ADHD, Autism spectrum, etc.

I just want to add my ringing "endorsement." I have noticed a BIG difference in Ezra's ability to focus, and control his temper. I mean, big. His teacher noticed it, too.

Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone interested. The Omega 3 that I got for him is formulated for kids, and I believe it is primarily cod liver oil. I give them to Luke sometimes too, although he can't swallow pills easily yet (yup, he's older, but he gags on them.) So he prefers to CHEW them. :shudder:

Hi everyone-

a quick breeze by, dad did not surgery today. He was unstable last night and so now the surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. He took a shower today and passed out from the weakness and due to his heart being in such bad condition. So I am at my mom's and watching the little ones...talk to you all later...

so glad you dropped in Amanda.

prayers are coming and know you'll be so happy to have the surgery behind you all.

take care of yourself too.

I remember when this shot was taken, but I do not remember his rank boldness.

Perhaps he does this all the time...... . . .. :unsure: .. . .and I just don't notice. .. .....

So good to hear from you, Sarah. Just a thought, but have you considered being a substitute teacher? My daughter's boyfriend was desperate for a job and applied in our school district and got accepted immediately........they are always needing subs. He hasn't gotten his degree yet, so the pay is not as much as someone with one. At least he's working.

Mygawd.. . ......I didn't consider this.

SAIRRRRRRRRR-UHHHHHHHHHHHHH||||||

Great to hear from you :):wub:

I've been wondering & thinking about you as well.

Sucks to be dealing w/ that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde kurrrrrrrrrrrRap. :angry:

But the good stuff is great to read.

Oh he has mastered that facial expression! He does the arched brow and eye squint like no other!!! :lol:

I like to look out for the flared nostril also, now that is talent if they can throw that in there too.

I think I do good eyebrow & squint but, besides the absence of Hollywood good looks, it's that *&^%$#!@ nostril flare that would've made my acting career's zenith in the arena of a Dubuque Commmunity Playhouse.

Curse those master nostrilators!!!!!!!

Sooooooooooo .. . I'm in Phx & hit Mayo tomorrow at 1pm.

Brought the old Palm handheld for plane (not at all plain, natch) music (sidekick also does mp3s, but not near as loud as the Palm). Haven't used the Palm in so long, I'm getting some nice musical surprises.

Like Ned's Atomic Dustbin :huh::)

:early90srockerface: (& if you know what that looks like, plz tell ME)

Anyone remember them?????

Despite the driving (pounding even sometimes?) beat, there's also a smoove lilting [ya I say lilting AND pounding, like some contradictionating juxtopositionificated wine snob] circular rhythm of much longer wavelength, enVELL-lupping it all in the rockin'est tidy way.

And if 'tweren't already a band name, we'd HAVE to add it to that ever-expanding scroll called "that'd be a good name fer a band!!!".

Spacebook question:

Does my old 'status' stay somewhere when I put up a new one?

I flip betw using the sidekick & a work pc & the difference is so tremendous I don't know wth's going on sometimes. :wacko:

Jules spoke Swedish!! Learn that around soph yr of HS?

Suzey phluishishness gone? <psssst . ...they're callin ya floozy!>

Dammit Gian-knit I must've been offline or just braindead when this Smack & Skeeter biz hath begun.

WHY are they called that????

Tell MEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Undeniably nice ring to it, <ed grimley voice> I must say. Like Quisp & Quake. Smack & Skeeter. Bogey & Bacall ... :huh: .. ..nahh more like Quisp & Quake. :D

So much to comment on but too tired for that much typing/thinking!!!!!!!!!

Mornin' gang!

Well, Ptaoughmghmnuss may get some answers at Mayo - - here's hopin', Ptaum!! :)

If one does not have medical insurance down there, does all testing, of all kinds, have to be paid for? I could see it becoming a nightmare for so many ill individuals (read: undiagnosed celiacs, for starters) who need the big, expensive tests for a diagnosis.

Well, there's a new president about to step in . .. . ..... .again, here's hoping. . . . ...

Gah. Giving a big test today on adverbs of frequency - - horrid, boring stuff, and there are always SO many questions and problems.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Often

Occasionally

Sometimes

Rarely

Hardly

Never

Gaaaaahhhhh .. . . ..STOP!

And it gets SO MUCH more exciting when we cover frequency expressions. . . . ... . ..

I can barely contain myself.

To mark this big day for the students and the amount of work they have put into this section, I would ask everyone to please use as many frequency adverbs/expressions as possible in today's upcoming posts. :lol::lol:

I frequently look at my current avatar and shake my head.

:huh::lol:

Yes, hence the reason health car often arises as a topic of political discussions.

Finally got my data!! I'll be checking in infrequently for a sanity break, but mostly absent.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
