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.

B) <phanning self due to the sheer romantic-ness of it all> :rolleyes:

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

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
