A friend of mine (who's a vp or sumpin') cleaned out her closet and gave me two huge piles of clothes. Sadly the really snazzy one were too big, but they went to another friend of ours so we're all happy. I'm gonna spend the next several hours sitting on my floor sorting through my 'new' clothes and shoes. :)

Where is y'all?? I got home late from my date, went shopping for a housewarming gift, and now I'm home drinking Bard's and eating Snyder's. I feel so ordinary. :D :D

Went to another concert with our son. This was an Australian Cover Band that does Pink Floyd and is endorsed by David Gilmore (they played at his 50th birthday). They were awesome.

What's up with people talking loudly through an entire concert??!!!!!! This is the second one we went to in two weeks where it happened. The last one I nicely asked the guys to shut up and they did. This time I t was afraid I wouldn't be as nice so I didn't say anything. Wound up chatting with the guy during intermission. He still talked loudly through the rest of the concert. People a few rows down left early so I just moved my seat.

We got home really late because my son was "sexiled" from his room yet again and he was pissed off, sick with the flu and all of hs friends were busy. We stayed as late as we could until my hubby felt he had to start driving or would fall asleep on the way home. I feel bad for Tony (our son) because this happens frequently but mommy can't fix things anymore. He's going to confront his roommate tomorrow.

Sorry you were lonely. We're back!! biggrin.gif

Been changing clocks. :blink:

yeah........I changed some last night, but not the big one in the family room.

Hubby went to work an hour early..... *snicker* :rolleyes:

Hi Oscar! My favorite muppet! Can I keep him? Please?

Oscar is not a kept man monster. He comes and goes as he pleases ;)

Sills--just got home. My son's next door neighbors have adopted the sweetest puppy--she is a mix of toy poodle and dachshund (Doxypoo er sumpin like that)....anyway, she is the cutest wee thing! I just love her. She's 6 1/2 pounds and will only grow to 10 they are told.

Ate way too much sugar this weekend but had a great time so WIH :P

And it seems he is an infrequent, although welcome, visitor here.

Unusual Sunday today. The team member who was scheduled to work was sick, so I worked in the store today.

Gads. So not ready for another Monday. Did a ton of laundry yesterday (the 'new' clothes) and I still have a ton more. I have to go to work dressed up today 'cause I just can't deal with putting on my jeans again without running them through the wash.

This weekend going to a show with BE on Friday, a girls birthday dinner on Saturday, Picasso on Sunday, may have to call in sick on Monday, 'cept I have class so I guess I'll go in anyway.

Another beautiful day here. Going to be 70 and sunny.

Gotta go to the grocery. Gonna make stew and they didn't have celery yesterday. :unsure:

That's the breaking news from Kansas. Wondering if I can put a slash thru the wheat stalks on my car license plate ( like the gluten-free celiac symbol).

70 - I'm jealous (although the snow is beautiful). Klark didn't clean off my car (I think because he wants me to stay home today). I hope he'll do it tonight and pull our cars into the garage. This is our first house with a two car garage and a fireplace.

Enjoy the weather and put the slash mark thru the wheat stalks - what's the worse that can happen?

Loey (Brrrrr)

So phunny! I sometimes buy the store brand organic milk (when they're out of Horizon), and it has a big wheat stalk on the carton. WIH? :P

Thinking about sending a letter to the state if I could figure out who to send it to. Why should I have a picture on my car of something that will poison me? By this logic, CA should have an earthquake symbol on theirs. Or we could put meth lab pics on them! What about the Pilsbury dough boy? A Big Mac and fries? Tornados or hurricanes?

I'm on a roll!

Thanks Emel, it opened for me - what a hoot!

I would not have wheat on me car,either, but you can't have the earthquake symbol for CA - we've got that one all tied up. Still quivering and trembling on a regular basis :blink:

Jess's weekend makes me pheel a bit tired too, but it sure sounds like BE has become part of the furniture at her place :)

I went to the airport over the weekend to pick up my sister, and got all tangled up with the Hilary Clinton motorcade which had traffic backed up for miles in every direction, and took forevvah to clear once she phinally made it to the airport and took opphh. But we got back at her and turned on a perfectly foul weekend of weather with two inches of rain and a cold southerly off the ice. The umbrellas protecting her got blown inside out. Her perfect coiffure as she stepped off the plane became a straight blownback windsweep in one second flat. When she departed she was wearing an Alice band :lol:

Yesterday sis and I had a great lunch at a restaurant called Strawberry Fare with one of our more delightful cousins we had not seen in ages. The food was fantastic, substitutions were freely allowed, our waitress was extremely gluten knowledgeable, 80% of the items on the menu were available gluten and/or casein free, they bake their own gluten-free bread, and we could relax and have fun. Lunch lasted until 3:30 p.m and then we went shopping on Victoria St. which has some very trendy, higher end shops. Good afternoon!!! :) A busy week is planned with a trip to the A&P Show (think county fair, but add in zillions of animals because this is a farming province - also sheep dog trials and stuph like that; our dad used to be a dog trialler so we have a fond appreciation for the border collie) and then a lunch at the home of friends of sis later in the week which may be a bit fraught - will have lots of backup stuph in the car.

Liphe in the shaky isles has not been particularly psillie of late but I have been reading along and staying current. Took sis on a drive through town - it's like driving a gymkhana around all the cones, fenced off areas, demolition zones, and it changes from day to day just to keep you on your toes. My favourite kitchen store is just bare earth :o , but I did find them relocated just a few doors down the street :) And at least my bakery survived intact so the staph of liphe is available.

Hi Jess,

I'm going to lay down for a while but wanted to say hello before I did that since I saw that you were online. I hope you're seeing BE tonight. I LOVE living vicariously. Don't get me wrong - Klark is the best but we've been together for 22 years (married 19) and there's nothing like new love (yes, I said love).

Yep. We all said how great it was to be together with people with whom you have a shared past and heritage - you just pick up where you left off last time :D

I did lamb (this being NZ) shanks in my crockpot on Sunday, with just onion, garlic (lots) and herbs, and some 48-hour homemade beef stock (no tomatoes for me, no red wine for sis) and yes, they (and the smells) were heavenly too. Enjoy your pot roast :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
