Don't EVEN git me started!!!! There's 1 freakin white tile in the middle of the new-still unfinished-bathroom that sticks up a good 1/4 inch above the rest. I'm clutzy enough to trip over that sucker daily!

:lol: We are in the same boat...I just had a cup o'tea and a Lara Bar. Lunch....

I've been at work since 0630. All I've had is a cup o coffee and an Odwalla bar <_< I WANT ICE CREAM!!!!!

Friends of ours in Jersey had their kitchen floor tiled "professionally", and within a year some of the tiles cracked because the contractor didn't level the floor correctly. They had to have it all redone.

Haven't seen that show in years. My father stills watches it. When my brother got married about 20 years ago, his wife made him a coat like the Dr Who at that time wore as his wedding present.

Bought a tile cutter. Plan to do my bathroom too. And maybe my able-bodied-assistant's kitchen, if we can talk her mom into it. She wanted the humongoid $160 cutter but the sales person talked her out of it.

Four more days of school!!!! I'd be even more excited if I had a job for the summer <_<

The Special Needs department provided lunch for the assistants.......and it was Q'doba's!!!!!!!! I was in heaven!!. No rice, but lettuce was fine with me :)

My son, Nathan got his assistantship back that he lost when he got Leukemia!!!!

DRAT!!!!....Shoulda done 'fast reply'....let's see :unsure:

Ummmmm...... :huh:

Nikkers.....love the hair! I've thought of going some shade of red, but don't think I could pull it off.

Love Purely Decadent ice cream. Haven't had it in a whale while (thought this was funny, so I left it in, but still had to edit....just a tad OCD about things like that). I wonder if agave would give me the same problems as sugar? :unsure:

Lovely day, today. Hubby and I went garage-saleing on his motorcycle :D

We had to use our excess bathroom tiles to weight down the bottom of Emileigh's "kitty condo"; this dainty miss weighs in at over 16 lbs and the top floor of the condo is cantilevered :unsure: (or at least it used to be until we put a supporting member underneath) :rolleyes: Well, Maine Coons are BIG kitties:D

This was a gluten-free day at our house! M had to do a family project for scouts so he and I made 2 kinds of gluten-free pizza crusts. We hadn't tried to yet. We made Chebe and gluten-free Pantry. Both came out good. We have ways to improve them next time. We just had the ice cream - Turtle Tracks and PB chocolate. Very yummy. Boys didn't like the turtle tracks because it tasted coconutty. Hub really liked the TT because it tasted coconutty. Thanks for the recomendation.

Well, apparently my fears on that front were completely unfounded. I guess the days I was interviewing and stuff people were wearing their dull clothes, because I haven't got anything remotely as flashy as what some of those girls are wearing. But the new job is really great. They really do train you and pay attention to what you're doing, it's awesome. I'm tired of places that don't actually take the time to train you what to do.

Gah! Must get on Phacebook to scope out the details, but what TERRIFIC news about Nathan, Leeeese! :D What an amazing story he has to tell - - well, your entire family's story, really - - this jaw-dropping journey through the last couple o' years.. .. . .... ..I'm telling you, it's a book!

Bought a beauty of a Japanese Acer plant (red - to go wiv me hair ;) )....

Gnick! You need to take this plant out of its pot and nestle it in your hair.. . ......wear it about like Carmen Miranda!. .. ..Wait.. . . .:unsure:....she had fruit in her hair... . ......

Phantastic!!!! I wish I had his energy! He's been mountain biking, hiking, planting trees, installing gutters, building a pergola, putting in a vegetable garden, finalizing his research, writing papers.......it wears me out just thinking about it!

Since he finished his rounds of chemo in November, he has had two maintenance doses. The first made him pretty nauseous, but this last one was fine. His doc had changed his ant-nausea meds. The doc is giving him these doses occassionally as a safe-guard. His was such an unusual case, they don't know what to expect. You will very likely see his case in the medical journals one day. Anywho....this chemo does not keep him from getting out and doing things. :D

Quick poop in cause I HAD to share this with you all. It's ridiculously awesome (and VERY cute!).

Since 2008, two French hikers have chronicled their trek from Miami, FL to the tip of South America, a journey of 15,000km (about 9,320 miles) through 13 countries.

But what elevates this hike down a hemisphere straight into the Cuteosphere is the third member of the team: A stray kitten who joined them in Louisiana.

However, the shoes are great! After my 12 hell yesterday, I was down a pound! Down 4, 8 to go!! May all go to hell this week since we'll be in Victoria.... Afternoon tea at the Empress hotel may screw it all up, but for 55$ per person, you'd better believe I'm gonna eat anything and everything they set in front of me!! ;)

      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.
