I'm in a good moment right now, so I take these little pockets of time and do the things I need to do (help my mom with the financial stuff, eat something, try to exercise the dogs). At the top of this list is talking to you guys.

Thank you so much, dear buddies, for all the support you have given me. I will be okay because of friends like you, and the family I truly cannot believe that I have.

I think I won't be staying good for too long right now, so here is a clip of the memorial service - - an event was just what we wanted. Click on the button below the screen on the right that says something about "Memorial".........

Um, the camera puts on ten pounds.

And it makes one's hair look ridiculous.

AND I did NOT have the zit that appears to be on my chin.

What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Dad.

Watching it I kept going between :(:):(:rolleyes:

I would imagine your emotions are and were doing the same .

I so enjoyed seeing the clip of the celebration of life and getting to see you & your Mom and Sister.

I'd checked out your links before but NOW I REALLY remember seeing him on TV when I saw the clips of him with the mustach. I so enjoyed that show.

I hope you will take care of yourself as you go about these next few days and weeks. It was great to see you post.

many HUGS...........DEAR SILLY BUDDY.

Hi Em: love :wub: and {{{{hugs}}} to you.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us a little of the celebration of your dad's life. I had never seen your dad before, but from just the short clips shown I could see that he was a very special person who will be greatly missed. Incidentally, you looked great!!! Take care, luv, and enjoy the time with your family; it's times like these we really appreciate 'em.

A lovely tribute. If you watch carefully, about half-way through, Emily's children pass through the picture on the right-hand side--Sophie phirst, with Jack right behind her.

I had to go back and look . . . I had noticed Sophie but had failed to see Jack right behind.

Very Nice Em . . . and there's no doubt that he's passed on his sense of humour . . . thank you for sharing.

Morning all, peeps . . .

sorry 'bout them glass-filled fudgecicles, Bev

FIL and step-MIL are due to arrive on Saturday. Somebody needs to come over and clean my house!!! Apparently, nobody here is going to do it!!! This is why I had children!!! so they can clean my house . . . I have to tell you that when I was a kid, I actually thought that mom and dad had kids so they wouldn't have to do dishes or clean the house anymore.

Did youse guys know that chickens pant?

Cats are furious with me for making it so hot, but too limp to do anything more than a pitiful mmmmooowwl when I walk by.

Our overnight lows are what our normal highs should be. And yes I know it's hot lots of places, but keep in mind that people don't have air conditioning. Many business don't either. Our buildings are designed to garner heat (black roofs and such), not repel it.

We're just not made for this sort of thing up here.

AANNNDD conversations have become incredibly dull. "Did you have a breeze last night?" "What's your house like?" "I'm too hot to do anything." "Can I just stay on the ferry all day?"

One of our ferry crew admitted she took a cab home -her house is a 7 minute walk from the boat...

:lol: I thought exactly the same thing. Except I know they had only me because they were still trying for a boy, and since I couldn't accomplish that pheat without expensive surgery, I'd darned well better make meselph usephul.

I know--I was thinking how lucky I was because at least here everything is air conditioned and although it's oppressive outside, it's easy to escape it and be comfortable. Youse guys have to be absolutely wilting. :( And the poor kitties wif their phur coats....

I grew up in central NY, and it was kinda that same way back then--unless you were rich, you didn't have A/C at home and gawd forbid, in cars. It got really hot maybe one week out of the year, and that was quite enough.....we lived in a small ranch house, and at the beginning of every summer my parents scrubbed and painted the garage floor.

We ate dinner out there, and us kids slept there on cots and lounge chairs. :lol: We had a screen across the overhead door opening, and it was at least 10 degrees cooler there than in the house. It was attached to our kitchen by a doorway, and while it sounds awful, it was our "summer room"--complete wif portable TV. :rolleyes:

Can't believe I just admitted that :lol:

Must be the heat.

dear gawd :lol::unsure: this really is untenable, isn't it? how do you guys DO it? I'd have to install a window cooler in my bedroom, and NEVER leave there........call in sick every day until heat wave passes......what's the temp up there, BTW? my niece lives there also....thinks it's crazy that the city of SEattle hasn't taken advantage of this thing called AIR CONDITIONING

They're predicting hitting 101 today. Has happened once in recorded history...

Amending this to say, has never hit 101, has hit 100 three times.

I think the worst when it's that hot is trying to sleep at night..... :(

I think I'd be spending an inordinate amount of time perusing the frozen phood dept at the grocery store. B)

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
