The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Tis a loverly afternoon here. It's sunny and 27oC (80oF), and we are sitting out on the deck munching nachos & cheese.

The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Wow, how quickly this spring weather changes, huh? I think you are now getting the storm system that passed through here earlier...it was 70 mile an hour winds, heavy rain, and hail a few hours ago. Run for cover, Peter!

Just got home from work. You would think that I'd had enough typing and computers whilst there, but nae--came home and logged right in :P I worked on an Excel spreadsheet all day to get our receivables more organised...blah, blah, blah. So boring, I'm putting MYSELF to sleep.

Your weather is coming here late tonight, POeter....we are supposed to get thunderstorms after midnight. We'll be hearing the cracking and rushing wind in the wee hours. . . . ... :)

Prufrock--Poppycock!!

And I have known the arms already, known them all

Arms that are white and braceleted and bare,

[but in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]

Hey! I do believe Eliot, in his very masterpiece, has spoken subtly of our Soooozle!

:lol:

Raechull! Sorry to hear you is down. . . . .....All right, so yesterday, when I was waiting with my dad at the hospital, after we'd been sitting for a while he suddenly said, "Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories". . . ......

:huh:

:lol:

Now, if he'd mentioned chin hair... :rolleyes:

Good joke from yer Pa. My friend's dad used to say, "It's rainin' cats and dogs--I just stepped in a poodle"

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

If you want to know why I'm down, it's this grand Michigan living. Every day I talk to people who have lost their jobs, their homes are in foreclosure, they are on food stamps, or unemployment. Or worse--they have a job that only pays about $8 an hour (me, for one). These are highly skilled workers, professionals, people with college degrees and families (including me). I try to help if I can, but that's not saying a lot. There's just not much beyond a kind word and a coupon, and some volunteering, that I can do--if Chrysler goes under, it's curtains around here.

So, I smile for people, try not become murderous when they push too hard, and pretty much find the humor in it. But, somedays are diamonds, some days are coal.

Well, that and, I'm PMSing. And the rats are gnawing on me tendons again.

Alright, enough. Whoa is we, blah, blah, blah--yaddah freakin yaddah.

How is Judy doing with the porch?

How is Suze doing with the post brandied cloves hangover? Sleep well, darlin?

How is Patty doin with the cheese? You must be beyond thrilled. Hats off to you for your commitment all these years to eating for your health. You are an inspiration!

Actually, all of you are--to me. I mean that :wub:

Peter, hope you have a sump pump and an umbrella.

Bev, wishing you big blue butterflies of happiness this May!

Emily, you make me aspire to write well again.

It's a really scary time..... . .. .. :( . . .. . .....especially in the auto industry. Thinking about you guys, Raechull.....Up here, Windsor has been devastated by the recession/depression. So many young families suddenly wondering how they are going to keep their houses, get their groceries....

Gah. Need to call my dad and tell him to make me larf. . . . ....

Ah...from "Rainy Days and Mondays". :rolleyes: Nuttin like The Carpenters when you pheel down.

Just got caught up.....Em--I did wonder about yer dad since I thought his surgery was to be done this appointment. Glad all is well and he's set to go in and have it taken care of. :)

My sympathies, Minimom :( The economy has been rough, and no place knows that better than where you are.

Judith got the paintin' done!! Hopefully you can just sit tomorrow and look at what a phine job you did :D

Has Soozle checked in? :unsure:

We took a lil ride this afternoon--went in a different direction in an effort to get familiar wif this huge place. Warm and humid--hair is gigantic :lol: It was sunny and sprinkling earlier--I looked fer a rainbow, but couldn't see one.

Stay dry, PeOter--and you guys too later, Emmel.

Had wine wif dinner--just one glass, though B)

Yeah.....before our.....what do I call it?.........nightmare?..........we were discussing how were we going to make it thru this summer. Brian's company supplies bearings to the auto industry and his job has had many cutbacks. It's been harder and harder for us to keep afloat. It's rather ironic that we may come out ahead after all is said and done.

Brian has a dismemberment clause on his life insurance, and when he told me how much they'll be paying us for his leg, I said, "Gee....I wonder how much they'd pay for the rest of you!" :P

Nice!......My DD bought one on e-bay several years ago. I once had a hearing-impaired student who was in orchestra...middle school....so I borrowed the violin and learned right along with him. Probably forgot most of it by now.

Do you play?

figured I had to start somewhere, and getting the instrument itself seemed like a good place

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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

      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.
