. . . but yesterday we spent an hour at one location and still didn't find it. Talked about it throughout the evening about theories on how/where it's hidden . . .

Do you actually PAY to do this activity, Jyaghnutt? .. . . . . . ....um, I'd love for you to roll this into a tourist activity.......come to Canada's National Capital, and fit in some geo-caching at my house.

Dear gawd... . . . this would be absolutely the LAST thing I could tolerate in me life, a life already filled at every turn with "where's my eraser?? It was riiiiigghhhhhht heeeeeere by my homework!!" "MOM! What happened to my UPS cord?? It was, like, on this desk! We need to spend an hour in this location til we FIND IT!!" "Em, you're good a this. . . ....can you search for my keys? They could be hidden in near the couch - - you can look for the little red tag attached to them.. . ... . ....perhaps an hour in that one location". . . . . ....

GAH. To actually go out and partake in this as a planned activity... . . . . .... :wacko:

:lol:

That is terrific. Actually, it reminds me of how I decided to start opening the old-fashioned ice-cream cartons/boxes many years ago, and we all still do it to this day. Ya do NOT open them from the short side, but from the long side... . . .... so much easier to get all the ice cream out when they're getting empty, no ice cream all over your hands.. . . . ...

No need to pay . . . although you do need a gps. We already had one of those although I'm getting one that's designed for hiking/geocaching. Our current one is for the car and only lasts three hours till it needs to recharge. Probably wouldn't survive much of an impact or a light sprinkle of rain either. The new one will be . . . hardy.

Sounds like you're an experienced geocacher already!!! . . . and I'm sure there are already some hidden not to far from your house . . . we'll be over later and have a look around.

Forgot to tell you what happened at J's High School football* game Friday night. He's a cornerback* so he was next to the opposing players side. They had 2 extra men on the sideline who were yelling insults at J and at the refs*. The team was warned that the next time, they would have a penalty. The guys kept yelling and were ejected from the stadium. Guess who the men were? The school principal and assistant principal!

*Translations for Non-Americans:

Football - American Football played with a wierd shaped ball and boys in big pads and helmets

cornerback - defensive player always on the far side of the field from his parents so hard to see

Refs- Men wearing an unfortunate fashion choice and, in this game, in dire need of new eyeglasses

Hey, tell me what you think of this....I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping--yeah, I know, it's rediculous--but I always want to get something special for my mom and stepdad because they're so amazing, but I'm having a hard time thinking of something bc they don't really need anything. So they're going to Hawaii in January and I was thinking as their gift this year, while they were gone, I'd go to their house and prepare a month's worth of meals for them and fill up their freezer. They commute an hour each way every day and they're both tired when they get home, neither really wants to cook. I thought this might help out...

Side note: I had a dream that I was traveling all over WA state and I hopped on a ferry, not sure where I was going, and ended up at Jess's house! She seemed a little wierded out to see me, but was very hospitable :lol::lol:

I commute 90 minutes each way and couldn't do it if I didn't have a freezer full of food to grab on the way out the door, or to heat up when I got home. I think they would love it. I do crock pot meals (of course) but also fish in foil with little marinade or spice on it (put whole thing into oven to cook, sides up to you), sliced, cooked chicken breasts seasoned for Mexican or stir fry, twice baked potatoes wrapped in foil, you get the idea, both completely prepared, and quick to prepare things in case I feel like cooking.

Like both the dinner idea and the dream!

Let me know when you are coming here to cook meals. I will need to get a freezer. ;)

Guys! Guys! There was a large chimp loose here in the jungles of Kansas City! He was knocking on house doors, opening unlocked cars and getting in and he bashed in the windshield of a police car.

Ahem...(clears throat)

My bologna has a first name it's O-S-C-A-R, my bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R. Oh! I love to eat it every day and if you ask me why I'll say.'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

I had to get that out of my system. I made my daughter a bologna sandwich this morning and that accursed jingle has been haunting me since! <_<

We've been having such fun on the gfp thread lately, and made such a crazy mess of it, that I thought it was time to move the silliness to it's own silly home. So come on in and join the silliness. Any topic is fair game. Laughter is the best medicine!

Does anybody else have a particularly annoying jingle stuck in their head? (Who let the dogs out?)

I'm new to this awesome forum, Celiac and thanks to Kareng this thread. Found out from my hubby that Vanilla Ice is getting a reality show where he builds a mansion. Am I the only one old enough to remember "Ice, Ice Baby?"

Holy temblors, Batman! Besides being awesome, Mother Nature can pack a punch! We have had 34 aftershocks in 36 hours, with a big five-oh yesterday centered just 10 kms from here :unsure: Just when things had quitened down and we had taken all the tape off the open shelving :rolleyes:. They told us the shaking was as hard as the 7.1 because it was so shallow (but it didn't last as long :P ) Just as well my cake was still in the oven or it would have fallen flat on its gooey face (honey-almond upside down pear cake - made from three different recipes or parts of recipes; needs a bit of tweaking :blink:, but the bridge club loved it after I slathered it with powdered sugar and ice cream :lol: ).So far only two little wriggles on the seismograph today. Wondering if I dare bake something??

Best not. That might call forth more aftershocks. :unsure:

Well, that does look handy. Them darn peanut butter jars are hard to clean out properly.

      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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
