It was a rainy day in Toronto. A very rainy day, with an inch expected over 24 hours. If I wanted weather like this I'd have moved to Vancouver. :D

You could live in Kansas City. We got about 3 inches yesterday. Worse for the dog is that there was thunder most of the day. He wouldn't go out to do his bodily business until it stopped and Hub went with him at 10:30 pm.

Your hub won't go out to do his poops or pees in thunderstorms either? They both must have been dancing around the back door 'til 10:30.. .. . ..

:P

Me, too.. . . . . there's no comparison! I don't actually roast them that often.. . . . . ....when I do, I just keep throwing them back by the handful. :ph34r:

There's, what, 200 calories in a single almond?

:lol: :lol: He looks quite heeelarryus. Like a little, gangly teenager, tripping over his big paws but carrying around a rather mature haircut. Elsie is now having trouble pinning him down - - he's growing into those feet!

My Vancouver or yours ;) It's been muggy, rainy and sunny :blink: . The muggieness is soooo uncomfortable. You look outside, see it's raining, pull on a sweater and Ugg's, walk outside and you're sweating buckets in 2 seconds :blink: Make up yer mind!!! :rolleyes:

So the 4th grade classes were split. 23 kids in each class. DD decided that she wanted to stay with the current teacher bc she loves her to pieces. That means that she will just have to deal with the boy, keep her distance and keep her eyes and ears open-as will I!!

Good practice for life. Learning to recognize and deal with a wierd guy will help her later, too. Who knows, this year he might like another girl to torment. I remember you said his Dad died. Unfortunately, my boys have had several friends who have lost fathers. Seems like they do OK for 6-12 months then have about a year of problems. Being boys, the anger and hurt comes out as agression. Not acceptable, certainly. Hopefully, he is getting help for that. Good luck!

I agree! Also, it's her body, she has bo be in charge of it. She needs to learn how to stand up for herself and not allow anyone to treat her poorly. She does a pretty good job, I am very proud of the way she has dealt with all of this-very mature! They're going to have the 'puberty' talk in school soon and even though we've discussed most of it already, it will be good for us to sit down together and have a refresher. She's mortified, of course ;)

Ok, I have an evil plan forming in my head. I'm hoping it comes with huges laughs from my mom and step-dad, but I need opinions before I do it....

Preface--All my family = huge UW fans. Purple and Gold all the way.... Me, I'm an outcast because I defected and went to the rival school WSU (and met hubby, major family loyalty to WSU)-- Crimson and grey 4ever!! :P

Sooooo, my mom and stepdad are having a huge UW season kickoff party tomorrow and my mom wanted me to do a cake. I'm planning on doing a replica of the UW football helmet, purple and gold. But..... she didn't specify what kind of cake she wanted, so I'm thinking of doing a red velvet with a grey tinted buttercream, so when my stepdad cuts into it..... SURPRISE!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Well, I think I'm phunny! :P

My Vancouver or yours ;)

I was thinking of Vancouver, BC, where they have what they call "liquid sunshine" on the majority of days outside of summer. This is from being right on the coast. Your Vancouver is a ways inland.

Today is bright and sunny. B)

Reminds me of the movie Steel Magnolias...the groom's cake is a giant armadillo with grey icing. They comment on how gross grey icing is.

I'm sooooo gonna do it!

Good for her!

Yup.....our annual sex-ed discussion is coming up, too. Time to refresh my memory on some signs I don't normally use on a typical day :rolleyes:

Must be prepared for anything. The older they get, the more graphic the questions :ph34r:

Will preface this with: no humans or other living beings harmed. J was coming home from football practice tonight ( game was last night). He was in a line of cars full of fb players going home. A car that had nothing to do with fb, had the gall to stop to make a left turn into a gated road. They use a garage door opener thingy to open the gate. The kid in front of J slammed on the brakes. J slammed on the brakes. Kid behind him didn't stop in time. Wish I had taken a pic of his Toyota. It's totaled at about 20 mph. J's old ford truck has slight bumper damage. It adds character to his beater truck. The police officer seemed to see the humor in it. I asked the kid that hit J if he learned anything from this. He said," not to follow so close". I said, " actually I was thinking that now you know what to do if you have another wreck."

This happened 1 block from our house so they called me. I asked did I need to bring duct tape or string to tie anything up on either car. J - no my cars fine. Friends car doesn't have anything dragging. I get there & all the fluids are leaking, the whole front end is crumpled up to the windshield ( friends car). But nothing was dragging! :)

Glad you had phun Leese!!

My friend is a fitness instructor & she's just done the Zumba workshop. It's starting at my gym next month.

Anyhoo - she didn't actually rate it that much unsure.gif - she already teaches 'Body Jam' and thinks this is much better.

I really couldn't say as I don't do ANY of the dancey type exercise classes (am cr@p at them! laugh.gif)

      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.
