Who was having lunch wif somebody that had FB problems?? Em, was that you?? I'm looking for the details. What happened?

Friends down the street are getting a golden retriever pup in two weeks . . . so we will be able to partake in the joys of a new puppy (romping wif abandon and puppy kisses) without the misery of a new puppy (bedtime whining, 2 am potty breaks, wet spots on the carpet that you don't see until you've stepped in it) . . . :lol::lol: . . . I can't wait.

Our lunch was postponed until next week, but in her email to reschedule she did tell me that hackers got into her profile and began sending "horrific" messages to all of her friends, her photos were sent everywhere and she began getting messages from people she did not know. Evidence of phishing appeared, as well. I'll get more details when I see her. She's a sensible person who did not put up much information on her profile, so it remains frightening.... . .

i MIGHT be dead before we ever get to CA

We did have the realtor over on Wed nite and it went well but alot on our list to do

she said the house at the end of the street she listed had multiple bidders

the 2 open houses were crowded

some people still interested in our street for a location so when we are ready to list she has names.

We're running out of $$ people........... :ph34r:

garage sale this weekend for mostly Jim's stuff............

At least his stuff should bring in more $$ than mine as I gave alot away to people i knew.

Then basement should be ready for DEEP cleaning

I do enjoy reading a catching up

No, this is Caramel. She's not a really big cat, but she looks huge in the picture. the Thinkpad is 12" wide by 10" deep. She weighs about nine pounds. :)

An unusual day here. I am at the store, but not really working. I'm just here as backup in case the newest hire needs support. <_<

Day 28 of the strike, and still no end in sight. The only thing is sight is more piles of garbage. :(

Gawd, yes! There's the best idea........I stay drunk all the time. Then everybody is so much easier to tolerate... . .. . ....!

Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . because now they're only hammered every so often???

And if you stay drunk, you'll never get a hangover.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

I see that everyone is in phine phettle :lol:

but this is all I've read - got catching up to do.......not now, however. Am recovering from an entirely insomniatic weekend (got back late last night and SLEPT 10 hours straight in me own bed - twas a dream!!!!!!) and staying in my cool, darkened bedroom (about 110 here today, I think?)

We had some trauma on the trip and.....Weezee got kicked out of Sophie's mom's/uncles'condo :blink: there was screaming on the phone (from her mom) and a really psychotic attack - was very, very sad and traumatic (her mom is CRAZY) so.....we stayed at Reese's, five minutes away. He took us to dinner on Friday night.........we had such a wonderful time. Aptos.....he lives across the street from a golf course in a huge thicken of eucalyptus and redwoods, etc - coastal fog and COLD breezes, mixed with sun -

'TWAS PARADISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found my house over there - now all I need is 700K to buy it :(

<must buy lottery tickets>

will catch up later - going to "nap" now :ph34r: and watch my cable - OH!!! they took away all me many channels - no more HBO movies - - I am sooooooooooooooo relieved :lol: :lol:

Dear gawd, POeter, this is hanus. It must absolutely smell hanus in many parts of the city. Windsor is at 100 days, are they not, of no garbage pick-up?

Unions! BAH! :angry::angry:Excuse the foray into political waters. ..... .. ..

Speaking of which, got a good look at Barack last evening on Anderson Cooper's report on The President in Africa. Man, he's got such an athletic, smooth, refined carriage - - haven't found the right adjective ... .. . ..... .he moves like a big, lanky yet graceful lion......the king that he is, I suppose..... . . .

This did not strike me when Obama was here in Ottawa. Perhaps t'was because he was here in February and he had his shoulders up around his ears, pounding his feet on the snow, pulling his Armani scarf tighter around his neck.. .. . . ..

Ya just can't look sexy, it would seem, in Ottawa. <_<:lol:

Not to your part of Canada I'm afraid, and would love to do that too!! I could brush up on my French before I came. I once dated a guy from Toronto; does that count? No, haven't been east of the Rockies in Canada; the western part is much more accessible from CA.

All right, I must recount to you all what transpired a couple of nights ago, the evening before MIL flew home. We were at the B and SIL's place for dinner, with in-laws literally everywhere I looked.

MIL was discussing how challenging it can be driving any great distances during the long winters up in Whitehorse where she lives. The Trans-Canada Highway is a main thoroughfare, and actually stretches right across the prairies into Ontario.

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

:huh:

:o

:lol:

AND.... . . . ...I did NOT even realize what I had said. Everyone was staring silently at me (which they do very frequently anyway), and I then began to frantically replay the conversation in my head. I gasped, and started larfing hysterically.

Alone. Larfing hysterically alone.

I wonder what the speed limit is on that roadway? Long and winding, or direct? Any detours?

I would hope it is well-groomed and maintained.

:lol::lol:

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure.

While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.
