Never been called Crayon before. Called a lot of other things...kinda like Crayon. It's colorful. Can I be magenta or aquamarine?

Used to live in old town Alex. Where were you? We could have helped Muffin with the wine!

I changed my av to a glass mosaic crab from my project. Can you see him?

Hi Crayon,

Yep, of course you can! Quinacridone magenta is all yours, and very appropriate too!

I can't see your mosaicatar yet. I live on Crapital Hill near H Street NE. From my house, you can smell the tax dollars burning, only 6 blocks from the hot air center of the universe.

Old Town Alexandria is a neat area. I imagine you went to the Torpedo Factory Art Center there? I took some art classes there a few years back. Nice place.

Jeee-Eff, you have a new av? It must be a pic of pizza, I'm figgerin'. .. . ...I canna get it to appear, even after hitting F5.. . ..it's still just that funny li'l man.. . . .:unsure:.. . .

Post a pic of yer painting, Jeee! Wanna see it. . . !

Sorry M-Lee, Crayon fingered it out. I had changed my profile pic but not my avaturd. Hmmm, I have to download the pics first. Guess that is all right to post? I am not sure on the rules for that. I am working on another one today, will see how it goes.

You want a pic of one of my boys for my av? :unsure:

Ha ha ha! Y-not? Gobble gobble. :D

Gee efff, you changed your profile pic but maybe not the AV? 2 different things. Go to change the av in change my profile. Then put your stick body in there. I really like that pic!

Yep, Crayon, the computer nose what I want to do but doesn't like to help me sometimes. Silly stubborn computer. The delaid reaction was not a PWTB policy at all!

OK, Muffin may have got some wine somewhere. Or some catnip. She turned on the ceiling fan in the bedroom again. Every once in a while she does that, and then some days later she turns it off.

Somewhere she has hidden the remote control for the fan and likes to play with it occasionally. Danged if I can find it. She won't say where it is hidden either.

A few weeks ago she had it turned on full high speed, and it was chilly in there too! Then she turned it off and it's been off for a few weeks. She is darn ornery sometimes, now she has it running on low. At least that isn't too bad for the chill factor. She won't sleep on the bed when it is on full high speed tho. Cam dat!

:D

Can anyone see the reddish crab in my avatar? I did the same thing I did before and it looked OK.

Yes, Gee Eff, we used to go to the T Factory a lot. Went to a costume Mardi Gras party. The costumes were amazing!

Yes, I see it. You're anything but a crab my dear Karreennee!! I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave so I'm trying to stay offline. It's a bit addictive, isn't it?

I'll be back (like AHRNOLD)

Jeee-Eff! I can see yer new pic now - - a rather surreal stick-man. Is this a rendering of your face? You look rather old-fashioned villian-like.. . . ..the type who once tied young damsels to the railroad tracks. . . . ...:huh:. .. .. . :rolleyes:

Man, I'm just realizing what a horrific thing this would be to do to a damsel. ... . . . talk about being in distress.....gawd, imagine being bound, immobile, on those big tracks... . . . .. ..a massive locomotive approaching, rails pounding, whistle screaming.. .. . ..... ...

Gah. Squish.

Right, then... . .back to Psilliness.. .. . .

Don't they always get saved by a Canadian Mountie?

So, I needed to clean out this one small kitchen cabinet thingy. It was full of recipes, most of which, for glutinous reasons, I will never make. I wanted to make room for a few things that got displaced by the dining room furniture change. This of course has now led to the cleaning of several more areas in the kitchen. You cannot clean one mess up without it creating another mess! And conundrums about what will fit in the space. By the time I get through, we won't be able to find anything! Also, do flower vases replicate themselves?

Love the picture of Dudley Doright.

I wonder if the florist would want to re-use the vases? It seems a waste to throw them out.

Wonder how Jess's busy weekend is going? Wonder if they made it to any of the things they were planning? ;)

I'm sure they would--my son's girlfriend's family owns 2 florist shops and I had a ton of vases building up at one point. I finally asked if they could use them and she said definitely.

Hi M-lee,

Yep, that's my mug, or somewhat like it anyhow. Damsels actually like being tied to the tracks a lot if you ask me. They always make a bunch of those fun little squeakly sounds of joy thru their gags. Such a blast they are having!

Hub has decided that the gathering for his employees/ co- workers should just be a quick pop by after work for a drink during the week. Now I'm afraid I will have too much food!

Well, since I'm talking to myself, I'll go make that crab some friends.

This sounds vaguely familiar. :rolleyes: I have some stuff in the living room that needs to go in the attic, so I have to clean and organize the attic.....getting rid of stuff. Some things in the attic need to go in the closet under the stairs, so now I have to clean that out (the Twa can be soooo messy! They are serious hoarders <_< )

In the past week I have managed to bruise my arm at the exact place I broke it AND bruised my elbow on the same arm! :( Oye!

Exactly right on the cleaning! But with your re-injured arm, you won't be able to clean for weeks. ;)

I did go see the Picasso exhibit and it is fabulous. If it tours near you it's worth the effort. I'm taking today off to do my homework and because I can. :)

Heading out for a walk, which I haven't done in a long time.

Looks like Picasso is going to Richmond Virginia Feb-May.

I just saw that. However far you are from Virgina, it's still a lot closer than Paris...

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
