I'm glad. Now I won't be grinning at him like a fool when he's with his daughter. :P

$150 is about the priciest I've seen.

Wow! Allo had the same basket his whole life. Got it for him when he was a wee kitten. Still have it :(:)

She has a loverly warm basket, but that is only one "room" in her house. She prefers her condo because it has several stories and she sleeps on the top phloor where she has a good view and can supervise us :lol: But I think her condo was designed for pigmy kittehs, not this 16 pound behemoth :rolleyes: - we have the bottom floor filled with leftover tiles from the bathroom (no psillies, our bathroom) to act as a counterbalance so the condo does not go crashing through the french doors :o

We and 100,000 of our closest friends were out shopping. Had to order the new cooktop. Currently, 17 F winds 20-35 mph with a windchill of 1 F and lightly snowing. Matt is camping and sleeping in a tent. Glad it's him & not me!

I'm not shopping, but I am in a store all day. Our store, busy selling stuff to people who are Christmas shopping for their pets or those of their phriends.

Hope you're making a lot of $$

Show went well. BE showed up in my room at 2am. Apparently I'm very welcoming to "strangers" in the middle of the night. :ph34r: :ph34r: I probably should work on that. Anyway. He's coming to the show tonight with his dd. Should be fun. Today I'm going to work on cleaning my house and studying for my stupid final.

Good luck on your final. I know you'll do well. Enjoy the show tonight as much as the visit from BE at 2 AM.

Yes, I am enjoying the romance vicariously. Love Clark more than the day we met but there's nothing like a romance in bloom!

I guess that means he's recovered from his illness. I agree. I'm glad it's not me either. I live in thermals.

Hey Shroomie! My son Jeff wants to ask you an important question. " because it's summer in NZ, what does your Santa look like? Our Santa's are too heavily dressed for your temps.". I think he's hoping Santa is wearing board shorts and a wild shirt.

I know I sent Mama Melissa's PM to you by mistake but I'd still like to se if we could all meet when I visit NJ. Not sure of the dates. We have tickets to see U2 in July so I'm guessing it will be around that time. As I mentioned it would have to be a halfway point as I'd be stranding Clark (Tony can have a friend pick him up and go out). Not even 100% sure we'll be there long enough as we have to also drive to Va. to see my brother and SIL. I hope feel better by then. Long car rides are not too pleasant right now but I'm going to remain optimistic. Hopefully the new GI will have some answers.

Definitely--I'd love to meet you! Keep me posted on your plans. :)

Now, a question fer PeOter--when I tried to reply to Loughie's PM after a day or two, I was told I could not reply. There was an "x" next to the conversation, and the reply button at the bottom of the message was disabled and the "can not reply" was highlighted.

Is there a "shelf life" on PM's that I'm not aware of? :unsure:

Dear gawd.. . . . ..this is a gluten-free forum! The personal messages should absolutely have as long a shelf life as the gluten-free, preservative-loaded, processed and packaged foods we must buy! (currently have a bag o' bagels in the fridge that are fine after three weeks, I believe). . . . . .

No "shelf life," but you can't reply to a conversation if the party who began it has deleted it from their messages. It sounds like that has happened here.

Hey Shroomie! My son Jeff wants to ask you an important question. " because it's summer in NZ, what does your Santa look like? Our Santa's are too heavily dressed for your temps.". I think he's hoping Santa is wearing board shorts and a wild shirt.

Well, ya see, this is a country founded by the Brits (after they took it away from the Maori) and there is a certain sense of tradition to be maintained and proper decorum observed, which means that the traditional red Santa with his snowy white beard and his fat belly and his Ho's to the third power usually prevail. But you can tell Jeff that there are some rebellious Santas who still wear a Santa hat, but throw off all that other suffocating stuff, and instead of arriving on sleighs, come zipping in on surfboards - scares the heck out of some of the wee ones who think this kind of Santa will not come down chimneys and bring pressies :o The younger (teen) generation is in the process, it would seem of developing different Christmas traditions. We have long since abandoned the outmoded notion that you MUST have the traditional Christmas dinner at midday in sweltering heat, trying to stuff down the last of the Xmas pud. Mind you, lots of people still do this, but the more enlightened take a pique nique to the beach or a local park (that's what we are doing this year with a couple of other couples, we oldies preferring to lounge in the shade instead of bake ourselves red in the sun :rolleyes: . But of course this option always depends on our fickle weather cooperating, otherwise it's hard to keep the food dry :unsure:

:rolleyes:

Perhaps they phigure that since they don't make as much of this stuph as they do of the other stuph, that it takes us longer to eat it and therefore the bagels must be filled with enough antifreeze to last through the winter,and into the spring, opened, sitting on the shelf.... GAHH, PHrankenphood :o

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.
