We had an earthquake about 20 minutes ago. Caramel was not impressed. It lasted about 15 seconds.

Is that unusual for your area?

I just saw your comment on da book--I was gonna say that such questions should be between Jacquie and you :P Another of my friends there also mentioned it--she's in NY state.

I saw that and it hadn't made it to the list of recent quakes yet so I thought I misunderstood. Did anything fall off shelves?

Wow.. . . . ..we REALLY felt it. The epicentre was about 40 km north of Cumberland, just within the Quebec border - - I guess about 65 km from Ottawa proper. 5.5 on the Richter scale.

How exciting! Electricity out all over the place... . ..no injuries reported so far.

Hold on to yer hats (and china and valuables placed on high shelves ;) ) Candadia's a shakin'!!

Be careful y'all, stay away from windows and tall trees!

Hey Raech - STILL don't know what Terry's 'ejection fraction' is (*smirk*...after all these years eh? :rolleyes:) ....does that tell you how well his heart is pumping??) - I must ask his doc.

Without furring of the arteries do you see many peeps that have had heart attacks?? :unsure:

Yeah, the EF, or ejection fraction is the percentage that the heart is pumping. ideal values are between 55% and 75%. Below 55% the heart function is impaired and above 75%, the heart is working too hard.

And no, I don't see many people at all who have heart attacks without plaque. Unless he has congenital abnormalies that have caused him to have naturally narrowed arteries, I'm not sure how he would have had multiple attacks... I'd be interested to see the MRI report.

Could not resist picking that part of the sentence out ;)

BUT

WHOA!!!... I didn't know yooz ever get earthquakes :o

Well, I can assume it's below 55% because the doc said it's not pumping hard enough so prescribed an ace inhibitor which he said would help the heart pump stronger.

Ummm - the doc was looking into whether Terry's arthritis drugs might have caused it ....but he's experienced chest pains on and off nearly all his life - so maybe he was born with it :blink:

I'd also like to see the report!!! (and then send it to you as t'would mean nowt to me :rolleyes: )

GAH!!...Terry's health (or lack there of)has always been a mystery!!

OK - gotta pick up Al. He's been on a day trip to France

.....Wonder what old tatt delightful gift he bought with his 10 Euros :unsure::lol:

Earthquakes are not common in these parts, but they do happen from time to time. We were at the store and felt the building shaking. Some merchandise rattled a bit, but nothing fell. Becky slept throught it, but Caramel was thoroughly spooked.

What about Wimbleton? 50 to 50? These guys are playing until one falls and can't get up.

It was stopped at 59 to 59. To be continued for the third day Thursday.

Sounds better than what I could come up with. "Looks pretty and won't rot your guts out". "gluten free goodies". "Psilly Pastries"

"Chic-ee Cakes"

You know people will think your name is Madeleine.

Yeah, I thought of that, but I'm not much more creative than that :rolleyes: . Oh well, it's a beautiful name (if I do say so myself :P) . Not that it matters AT ALL, but both her name and mine are French even though I'm basically 100% Irish/Scot and Jesse is German/English. I wanted poor Max's name to be of Irish origin, but DH didn't like ANY Irish name I liked. He wanted to name him Lucious (Loo-shus), and call him "little Lou" :blink:

Actually, Rey-schell, the boys (M, J & hub) are wondering if you have any new dessert recipes we could try out for you. J prefers chocolate but the rest of us like more flavors. I have 2 cookie recipes they and their friends love. They did like the choc cake very much.

All right.. . . ....I suppose the time is nigh -- I must make my Official Royal Announcement, as various North American news agencies have been postulating, correctly, on the source of the moderate earthquake that struck Eastern Canada yesterday. I will now confirm what is being alleged by the media.... . . ..radio pundits, national newspapers and television news broadcasts north and south of the border.

The earthquake was set off as a celebratory international proclamation. More precisely, it signaled the recognition of me as the reigning monarch of Psillyville for 100 pages. It did NOT directly coincide with the actual phlipover and the sudden descention/takeover, as effects of this nature take some time to orchestrate.

It occurred in Canada, close to Ottawa, as this is where I reside and reign.

It was the most logical natural occurrence to choose - - hail/snow/ice storms are simply not doable at this time of year; we don't have a large enough body of water nearby for a tsunami, and tornados just kind of look too scary, and don't carry the wide expanse of clout that tectonic plates can garner.

I know that you were ALL likely suspecting this, and were politely remaining quiet, waiting for the Official Announcement.

Now I'm just wondering if I should be getting in touch with Enviornment Canada and the American Geological Society..... . . .....they should perhaps be in the know... . . . .

:huh:

:rolleyes:

:lol:

They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
