Rob's cameo is about 20 minutes in. While the surgeon is in the hospital corridor talking on her cell phone to her FBI agent husband, Rob passes through the background left to right, also talking on a cell phone. It is easy to miss.

There are 17 minutes before the first commercial break (as seen here in the east). The cameo is after that by a couple of minutes.

<clapping hands> am soooooooo excited to have insider info!!!!!!! :lol:

Thank you!! :lol: I TiVo'd it, so after Grey's Anatomy we can go back and catch him. I knew it was in the hospital hallway, but I still missed it.

What is a TWA and how did they find me? :blink: I lived in a "haunted" house from the ages of 5-7. I have VIVID memories of some wierd stuff that went on there. More like mischevious kids than evil. THey used to run up and down the hall while we were sleeping and my parents thought we were up running around. They also used to like to watch us sleep, they'd sit on the edge of the bed when I would lay down to go to bed. It was so wierd when you'd feel the edge of the bed dip down-yet there was no one there. Nothing like that here so far. We've been in this house for 4 years now!

I'm stressin BIG TIME. not sure how I feel about this potential move, hubby said he didn't think he had a chance up against this other guy, yet they called him for an interview 1st. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? I don't want to move! Perfect house, perfect neighborhood and schools, 2 best friends I've been friends with since we were 7 live within 5 minutes, we all have kids around the same age, job I love, people I love to work with, most of my family within an hour-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You should SEE the size of the enormous chocolate chip stress cookies I just pulled out of the oven. Someone MUST stop me because I will eat ALL OF THEM.

I know whatever is "supposed to" happen will, but I can't stop stressing (or eating <_< )!!!!!

Portland is just a train ride away. Poifect place for a relaxing weekend. Poifect place to send the kids when they're older.

Or...

Hubby can live in Seattle and spend his weekends with you. :P My brother has done that for years, because his jobs never seem to be where they want to live.

I did, and it wuz awesome. Obscure bit of trivia I noticed: the forward images were of April 29, 2010. That will be Rob's 50th birthday. I somehow doubt that it is a coincidence. :rolleyes:

Love that he wrote it that way!!! :P It'll be our little secret ;)

p.s. chek my FB page for recent shenanigans of Kit........ he knocked over a giant shrub as he climbed it..........it has gone down once before, I thought it was secure.....but NOOOOOOOOO....

is now on my lawn, and I dunno WHOT to do.......... :huh:

How did I miss this??? I remember the scene perfectly, but we were too busy paying attention to the phone conversation with the FBI agent and the doctor. Missed it completely :huh: They are going to have an encore showing of it again tonight--we will have to watch that scene again.

What an exciting and scary thing to happen to you as kids :o I used to feel a cat walking up my bed from the foot to the middle, then it would lay down.

I sure hope you don't have to leave your home and friends and family, that would be so hard :( But, I really do believe that when one door closes another opens. Who knows? Maybe this could be a huge blessing in diguise?

Dear gawd.. . . ...... chills. . . . ....

How bizarre and fascinating, Rachelle . .. . .....do you know the history of that house?

We tried to get the history, the previous owner claimed no one had ever died in the house, my mom thought people would think she was crazy, so we never talked about it outside the house until the shenanigans got more frequent. The bedroom next to mine was always below 50 degrees. The house had no AC, and in the summers, it would easily get over 100 outside, so the house was sweltering inside-except that room-you could see your breath in it. We finally had the pastor from the church next door come and check it out. He went through each room, and said there was something definately off in that room. He prayed through the house and in that room trying to "release" the spirit. From then on, the room was the same temp as the rest of the house. The really creepy thing was that we lived at the bottom of this really windy steep road, and we had some friends who lived in the house that was directly above ours. The following week, the lady asked my mom if something had happened in our house on that particular day at that particular time because she and her husband were out on their deck and she said she heard something that sounded like a child crying and she said it came from our house and "floated" up past hers, then it was gone.................... :blink:

I know, it's closer than a lot of cities he's suggested--Boston, Detriot, Philly....and I'm trying to get into my head "whatever is supposed to happen will happen" I do believe that everything happens for a reason and I won't know anything for at least 2 weeks, so I'm just going to try to push it away until I have something to worry about. I am in a cookie coma today, I seriously ate 1/2 the batch last night <_<

You have, Lisa--enough already!

I'm stressin BIG TIME. not sure how I feel about this potential move

I can relate, Rai-shall. We've moved 9 times due to Mark's career--the first was hard since we, like you, were facing leaving our families and friends. This last one, in March, we left our (grown) sons to come to Texas :( It never really gets any easier, but you will adapt and it will be fine :) Keep us posted.

but made me psychotic - 'tis a bit like Lost, indeed.......and then someone from Lost was actually on there :unsure::huh:

:P Yes--and more "Lost" alumni to come, according to the previews! ;) We thought it was a bit easier to follow than "Lost"--at least so far.

Pataughmn!! We WERE all watching together! :D

Or...

We did this for 11 months--Mark lived and worked in Charlotte, NC whilst the boys and I lived in our house near Atlanta. Not ideal--the kids were young and were only able to see their dad on weekends. I was pretty much a single mom with a part-time job, kids, pets and a house for sale that had to be ready to show at any time. :blink: I'm sure this works beautifully for some ( and of course people do it every day out of necessity), but for us it was really difficult.

I had suggested this too, it didn't go over well. He was b%$@#ing like a little girl that I didn't love him :rolleyes: We've been married for 11 years and together for 13, I could NEVER imagine being with anyone else (well, except Edward :P ) But I'm the type of person who needs a lot of space, he's the type that has to be around someone all the time. That scenario would be ideal for me, horrible for him. I have a feeling that the new job would keep him away more than he's expecting, so maybe the move would be the best combo for both of us...

From the sound of things, I would tend to agree. It's a difficult enough situation without having one of you feeling insecure about being apart. With a new job, it's a sure bet he'll be busier and away more, especially at the beginning. But....it's one of those things where each couple (family) has to decide based on what is best for them.

We looked at it as "we'll just do what we have to do" and plowed ahead--plus, our house was on the market, so we knew at some point we would be moving back in together. It just took a lot longer than we thought it would!

The funny and happy ending to that story is that shortly before our house sold, Mark got a chance at a position with the same company in New Jersey--which we love. The kids and I never did live in North Carolina--we managed to (with the help of the company) to all move to Jersey together. :D

So, ya never know what life holds--we've moved many times and there are many good aspects to that, too. We have friends all over the place--the kids have experienced living in different locales and became good at handling change. The 4 of us have a special bond. :wub: It's a real "mixed bag", but in the end, it's what you make of it ;)

Not much to say. Want to congrat Peter and his bro. B) Good job! Has he written anything else? Glad to see ya better, Em. Have no time to even read stuff. Lots of new, haunted, old houses. Am sitting in the very corner of the very room that the old lady who's estate we baught the house from, died in. She was 78, died peacefully from natural causes, in her reading chair. I live peacefully and naturally, in my computer chair. The light fixture above me that I read and post by, is the same one that she read by. My Grandmother's name was Mildred. Her name was Mildred. Kinda wierd.

And, I love the birthday #. 4/29/10. What fun to put youself in your book. Rather Hitchkockian.

Susan lost her Silly,

Need to get it back. :(

mushroom Proficient

Sometimes, when yer silly gets lost, it stays lost for a long time :( And the sillier everyone else gets the more yer psilly hides from you; or perhaps it's not really lost per se--it's just that everyone else has found *your* psilly and is using it all up so there's nought left for you.

And then when peeps start getting all clever and posting pictures of their pheats and doing little green puke-face men and other smarty things, yer gets all kinda depressed and climbs further into de non-psilly hole... :huh:

But I have been keeping up with all your pheats and feets and short fifth digits and whatnot.

So all you peeps, stop stealing my psilly and give it back to me. I WANT IT BACK!!!

Shroomie- Me psilly is hiding too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come back......there's enough psilly for ALL of us!!!!!!

When your psilly is tired, I shall carry it!

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
