Ok- getting a little misty-eyed here. I found the student who is the reason I became a teacher! I was only going to do it for a year and then I had this student who had been brutally mistreated by his teachers- called lazy, never going to become anything. But he was sweet kind and smart.

And guess what? He DID become something: Open Original Shared Link

SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh. We have a big storm from Alaska headed toward us. :o

Whoa! That's Ottawa weather!

I had a 7th grader say "Hey- you wore that shirt LAST Thursday too!" Thank you for tracking my fashion

Bev!! What a terrific story! And this talented man's success is due completely to you. You need to get in touch with him and demand one of those beautiful ceramic pots in return for all you've done for him!....'Tis the very least he can do . . .. . ..

Well.....I can certainly see how you would suspect it might be me. But you see, like the reject photos that I clandestinely leave in the Walmart frames, I would only leave reject teeth in their wallets. All would have to be cracked, filled, chipped. . ....... .. ....most of these teeth were in pristine shape.

Why would anybody leave great pics or great teeth within Walmart products??

That is just nuts!!

:huh:

I emailed him and said Hey- is this you? It's your English teacher from 15 years ago (stalker? :ph34r: ). Either way, you're pottery's great!

He really is the reason I went into teaching. He was such a good kid- so much potential but had been beaten down by his teachers. I had him as a student when I was a tutor at a ski academy (the kids left their home schools for 6 months- tutoring in the a.m. and training in the afternoon, competing on the weekend). Amazing mogul skier!

At the end of the season, he gave me this note- he had made a mandala and inside written me a thank you note. Gawd, I miss that job!

Does seem awfully quiet here today. Niknik has resorted to posting elsewhere! :D Are you sure you're allowed out of Psillyville? Of course!

Really nice here today...I worked outside in a sleeveless shirt! Almost as good as summer...YAHOOOOOO! I started terracing the hill in the back yard last year...worked on that some more. Telehubby is building a swing/glider to go back there. Can't wait!

Hmmm.

Is "being in heat" in any way related to "having the hots?" :blink:

The heat wave is subsiding. It is down to 5oC, and tomorrow will not reach double digits. It is expected to rain in the afternoon and evening. Most of the snaugh has turned to water and run away.

Bev, your teacher and former student story resonated with me. Sometimes paths recross years later. The man who unsuccessfully tried to teach me English Literature in the 12th grade is a customer in my store. English Lit just wasn't something I took to. B)

Good Morning, Tareeeeesuh! I see ya!

Hope you have more stupendous weather down your way... . .I can hear in your voice (writing?) :huh: how excited you are to be outside playing in your yard!

I have been staring at the white siding wall that is the back of our garage for some time now.......being an artist, I just need to fill big white spaces like that. I have some experience painting outdoor murals, and have been long researching what paint would work on the aluminum.

Well....all of a sudden, the plans have changed. Yesterday I stopped in my tracks outside one of our local art shops.....there I saw these big series of metal works, meant to be hung against a wall. I bought them immediately, not even knowing if they will lie flat against the siding, if they will completely rust within a month. . . ...

Crazy, impulsive artistic-emotions-are-stirred buying. <_<:rolleyes:

I will coat them with marine varnish, and see how things go.......will put up a pic.

English Lit just wasn't something I took to.

What? Hmmmmm....ya didn't have the right teacher. . . .. ... B)

This is phunny, POeter, as you have such a literary family and you write so well yourself.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
