Bevel, Bevel, you ARE me surely?? (with 2 more presents than I) :lol:

Amateurs! I have nowt......and have no desire to shop. Before a few weeks ago, I thought there wouldn't be any money......'twas an easy out, actually. ;)

I have nothing against shopping, per se.........just the pressures of Christmas.

.....and who wants to leave the comforts of home to battle the crowds and traffic when it's freezing outside??????.......maybe I should move in with Neroli B)

But with grown kids, money works :P

I love me mother-in-law. :) She lives about 20 minutes away, but rarely comes to my house. She thinks her son is lucky to have me :P

I want a heated bed!.....I wouldn't leave either!.....fighting the urge to hibernate, already

Mornin' all B)

Matt's computer is acting s-l-o-w this AM, I've already rebooted it once. We're doing well sharing his tiny (and I mean wee) kitchen. Actually, he's more than happy to let me completely take over all duties within :P

I've been waiting 8 months to get me hands on this house--as ya'll may remember, we moved him in and had to move ourselves 5 days later. I'm doing some painting, lots of cleaning, and we're gonna work a little on the front yard this weekend. It's supposed to be cold but sunny, so we'll see.

JP (older son) took us to Changs Saturday night--the waiter was so savvy about Celiac/food allergies. It was great.....and the 2 hour wait fer a table left room for much drinking before dinner :rolleyes: A good time was had by all :lol:

Jess--I think you could use a heated kitty bed about now :) Are you up studying?

True dat--mine prefer it :)

I love me mother-in-law.

My MIL is great. She just turned 90 and is still independent--living in the same house she and her husband bought right after they were married. I wouldn't mind at all if she lived nearby--in fact, we've told her she's welcome to move in wif us if she wants. She's just not ready to do that yet. :)

Yeah, me too! However, I've heard from many sources throughout life that this is essentially what husbands are for.... . . ..and I DO have one o' those... .. ..but a heated bed...just sounds so... ....cozy. . ......... :rolleyes:

Ah, the Christmas consumer push. A number of years ago, my extended family cut WAY back. I buy for our two kids and DH, something for me mom and we usually contribute to MIL's flight cost, and that is usually it. My siblings and I long decided that what is so paramount is for us to all be together, as much as possible, over Christmas -- this is the real gift that we give to one another. Sounds so sappy, but 'tis true... . . .I want and need nothing, just to be with my family.

My family.. ... .... . ...and my MIL. . . . ... ........... .. <_<

There are so many of us in our family with aunties, uncles, and cousins-and now everyone is gettin serious boyfriends/girlfriends/fiances, that there are too many peeps to buy for that we draw names 2 months before Christmas and we have a cap on how much you can spend. It makes it sooooo much easier. I give my kids "the talk" in November about what Christmas is really about and not to plan on a lot of gifts (that is until the MIL goes against our wishes and sends a pallet-YES A PALLET of presents for them <_< ) We spend Christmas Eve and day eating as much as we possibly can, getting plowed and giggly and talking, singing and being just plain jolly! I LURVE Christmas!!! :D

It's not exactly big enough for Lyle. He's either tightly curled, or has body parts draped over the edge. You could choose which part of the lion to warm.

Just a quick poop-in after a couple of computer abyss days (t'is the season apparently). After much technical to and fro, a visit from the TelCo, much frustration, turns out *someone" screwed up the payments (no, not moi); cancelled the credit card charge but forgot to set up the automatic debit back in June :o So they sent us an email telling us about it the day after they cut us off (our ISP is a real genius company, about as genius as dh) :lol:

Loved the pink gloves!! Rayshelle--no more pickles, unless you really want them :o:rolleyes:

Lion Lyle will nevah get out of that heated bed unlessen you turn it off!! Well, maybe for food....

Have a respiratory infection; thought I had fought it off but with no immune system, I am heading for the doc tomorra to see if I can avoid antibiotics :( Feel like s.h.i.t. Third Christmas season in a row I've been unwell. It's getting old. Sent dh off to the Probus Christmas lunch today by himself (well, not really, he's picking up a new member whom I had promised a ride--I've never met her but I told him she was gorgeous. Hope it's not so :P )

reaching incoherent babbling stage. Slept in til 5:15 today. Having Pamela's cookies for breakfast.

Director and music director have made up after their on-stage screaming match yesterday. Costume designer and director have gotten over their screaming match. No one dissolved into tears from their apron falling off (OK, the aprons are pinned on now). How do I always forget this part of working with actors?

Good Morning, Psillies!

A bit long, but quite an amusing, truly Canadian piece as we gear up to mail off our Christmas cards.......

Open Original Shared Link

Speaking of which! Guys, the recession has geared things down for us considerably this year, and we're cutting all fat. So, we are not sending out Christmas cards this year, and I'm quite sad that I won't be connecting with all the Psills like we did last year.

Guess it'll be a big group email this time. . . ....hafta try and make it spectacular!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      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.
