Municipal (civic) elections were held today in Ontario. The weather in Toronto was expected to be rainy, but after a dank early morning the sun came out.

Polls closed an hour and a half ago, and it seems that voter turnout in Toronto was higher than expected.

A sea shift will take place at Silly Hall, as fiscal conservatives throw the socialists out. The incumbent mayor did not run, having ruined his chances with the 2009 garbage strike. His antithesis, who campaigned to "stop the gravy train at city hall," has won by a good margin. It will be a very different city over the next four years. :)

I can probably handle the polynomials . . . I can probably get you through most if not all of high school math. Sorry Jess, only had a smidgen of stats (although I did think it looked interesting) and can nae help you. I do love made up statistics as Smackl does it ALL the time . . . I think he thinks he sounds like an expert when he says stuff like "About 72% of dogs dream about rabbits" . . . and who am I to contradict him?

Liar; Damned Liar; Expert Witness.

Lie; Damned Lie; Statistic.

Statistical analysis is much more than reporting that a hitter batted .240. The maths are very complex, and although I grew up with not one, but two parents who were professionals in the field, I still don't grasp confidence intervals. I wonder at times whether "standard deviation" is an oxymoron. :blink:

I'm afraid the opposite will be true, here. :unsure: Our fiesty, fiscally conservative, give-the-unions-hell businessman mayor was solidly defeated by a liberal, a career politician who was the right-hand man to Dalton McGuinty as a provincial minister. :angry:

Dear gawd.. .. .......my braaaaaaiiin.. . ........

A confidence interval is something I do not experience enough in my life. Is this not an episode where I can suddenly walk into my boss's office and demand more money, or step onto the scales and look brazenly down at the numbers, no peeking out from my fingers? And standard deviation. . .. . ....well, likely plenty o' THAT happening in me life... . . . . .... . <_<

The confidence interval is the time between when the relatives start showing up for thanksgiving dinner, and when you discover that you forgot to turn the oven on that morning.

HI all

It's been weeks since I've been on but have been reading along at times.

Jess, hear good things are happening to you last page i read

Wish our elections were over here. Nothing on TV but the adds bashing each other.

MIL, comments above just crack me up.......'well according to her your going to Hell anyway, what have you got to lose"

what I want to know is ................were is the sun in sunny CA.cool.gifph34r.gif Haven't seen it for weeks. Just the marine layer hovering over head.

Things are good here and still settling in. Jim and I went to Anza Borrego Desert for a couple of days and it was so great to get away. Jim took a photography class and nite astronomy session. While he was filling his brain with knowledge, I was laying by the pool :) We left the desert at 95 degrees and sunny and got home 1 1/2 hrs later to gloom and 62 degrees and drizzle. It's amazing how the weather changes here. I'm still in augh of our new area.

Not much else to report but still read along.tongue.gif

I'd probably burst out laughin... Yup that woman has got a sense of humor... I can handle that... But I am guessin yer MIL would be somethin along the lines of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WAS RIGHT GET THAT DEVILISH WOMAN OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!! COVER THE KIDS EARS!!!!!!!!!!"

Have ye ever tried singin "Blow Gabriel Blow" from Anything Goes in here presence? I think maybe the reaction would be priceless...

(Love Anything Goes btw)

Once upon a time, my hubby and I were a duke and duchess. We were invited to a ball by the king himself. After bein introduced we spoke a few mins with the king. Then we danced the night away. Until, that is, the prince and his wife appeared. And apparently I got in a fight with the princess. Soon our wigs flew off and started fightin each other. And then all the mens canes came attacking me....

(This was a dream I had recently btw)

I didn't know my MIL understood English for the first three years of my marriage. Of course once I took care of her when she got sick it was a different story. Man, do I miss her paella and empanadas (though I'm sure they weren't gluten-free). Holidays at our house are tame because it's just the 3 of us and sometimes my brother and SIL.

Ooh yay! Royal Coronation! Gimme Gimme! I want a crown with amethyst and emerald gems on it, silver please! As for the jester though, I don't know if I need one, I can entertain quite well... or So I am told. (Probably because I scare easily, or I fall standing still, or walls keep jumping out at me, Or I mix up my words/sentences)

The dreams I can remember are often quite....interesting... You should hear the nightmare I had the other day... (And I'd wake up, go back to sleep and it would just continue. That never happens, except for this time.

Once upon a time, a family sat down for an evening meal. But it was no ordinary meal, it was a meal to introduce one of the daughter's beau to the entire family. But the Beau was late. So one daughter goes up to check on him. (Me in the dream, it was supposedly my family but everyone looked really different and I suddenly had a lot more sisters and no brothers) She finds him in the shower pinned against the wall, and blood dripping down. (Oh and of course shower is still running) I scream and my sister and father come running up. And somehow the scene changes and I am in my bedroom. "Father" demonstrates to my sister what would have happened by throwing daggers at me. (Here is the first time I wake up) On another occasion, a fire starts in our house, or something similar, and so everyone evacuates. But apparently one of my sisters never made it out. So "Father" goes back in to find her. And then we hear maniacal laughter before the house blows up. Its here we realize "Father" killed the beau and my sister and made the house explode. (Wake up number two) After this we end up roaming the alleys near where we live, and some ladies end up chasing us. They apparently are wanting one of my sisters (told you I have a lot of sisters.) Soon we end up in an alley where there are a lot of look alikes to my sister the women are after. We lose my sister and thus have to find her. The ladies corner us and ask her to help them find her in the alley of look alikes. The only way to tell which is our sister is by her shoes, she has a very distinct pair of shoes. But its still hard because everyone has shoes similar to hers. (My sister's shoes were black heeled sneaker type shoes with criss-crossing bands.) So finally we find someone who looks like my sister, but isn't and tell the women its her. Meanwhile we look for my sister. After finding her, we run away, hoping to outrun our pursuers. (wake up 3) We then end up in some discount department store, and the women figured out that it wasn't my sister we pointed out to them, and now they are pursuing us in the store. We mad dash down aisles, and such trying to dodge them. Finally we all (I am not sure how we fit four girls) hide in one of those round clothing racks. The women look and look in our rack but somehow we are all able to move away from where they are looking. (Final wake up.)

And Jess, yes my first dream = VERY Alice in Wonderlandish.

Good thing you don't watch the movies that Superman and I do (or should I call him Clark when not saving the word). Their plots sound like your dream. Stay away from haunted houses this weekend. We're going to the Bates Haunted Motel. Supposedly two ships wrecked on the beach near our house in the 1600s and one of the Captains took up residence in the Motel. Last year we went to a haunted penitently in Philly.

BE's dad is being released to a convalescent home within walking distance of his home so his wife can walk over and see him. They're both in their 80's so they have that whole lifetime-of-being-with-each-other thing going on. I hope he gets through this quickly.

But I'm already taking care of Oey & Dixiebell....Someone else has to walk, feed & clean-up after Row.

      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.
