Now that was psilly!!!! I haven't been online much because my pain has gotten worse and my son returned from his week away. I got to sneak a peak at his BF (that he has a BIG crush on) and she's adorable. It told him to say goodnight for me and she sweetly returned it. They were skyping. She has a boyfriend at home (Chicago). Evil mom here hopes that the distance makes it too hard and she and Tony become a couple. She's taking my son for a makeover. Also the friend he's going to room next year with is a neat freak so Tony said he thinks it will be good for him. BTW, Karrreeennnggg I've been making him do a lot more chores (only took me 19 years) laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif.

Can't wait to see the new GI next week. Went to get a new SS card yesterday and they said I should file the claim ASAP because it takes several months.

We're supposed to get 18 inches of snow tomorrow so I have to go to the market today. it should be a zoo there.

The wind chill temp is -6F here. I think the flashers would freeze their Popsicles off!

Nah, the last decent shake we had was Boxing Day (4.9) - ruined the Boxing Day sales 'cos everyone went running into the streets just after the shops opened their doors (hub got his TomTom though :ph34r: , six minutes before :D ) We are separated from Australia by lots of water but it is the salty kind, not that red/brown stuff. Have friends in Toowoomba (who live on high ground) and my niece has her warehouse in Brisbane - but she sold it to her partner a few weeks ago and she is trying to unload her stock anyway :P because she's getting out of the domestic side of her business. Also sold her house in Brizzie and moved to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast (way further north) just before Christmas :D . But the other poor blighters in Qld are having a pretty miserable time of it.

Barb, my erstwhile housesitter, got caught in a flash flood just before Christmas here on the South Island when a river she was driving beside burst its banks suddenly, and her Rav4 got spun around several times ending up in a ditch 100 meters down the road but right side up, fortunately, with water up to her waist almost whilst kneeling on her seat. T'was about 90 mins before they were rescued none the worse for wear (except the poor ole Rav4). This was from a remnant of one of the Queensland storms.

Sorry that none of this is very phunny stuph - seems not to be the psilly time of year.

So glad that you're far enough away from the horror in Queensland, Shroom! Very unpsilly, indeed, that... . . ...:(

Okay! Here is an excellent photo taken of DD yesterday by one of her good friends who has some cool features on her Mac camera. 'Tis quite a likeness, and I suggested she submit it for her informal yearbook photo:

Please tell me what I did wrong? :blink: I sent this email Monday night to the parents of the Robotics students when we found out we wouldn't have school. J also, sent all the kids a text that said the same thing.

Titled: Tue Robotics:

The school district says that we can start at 11. So tomorrow -CAPS center 11 am . Bring a lunch and a drink and maybe a snack and a water bottle. I asked until when and was told "until we are done".

I got an email back the next day from a parent, attached, as a reply, to my "Tue Robotics" email that said:

School district is closed so I assume there is no robotics, could you confirm

J got alot of kids calling him Tue afternoon, asking if we would have it in the evening.

J, the teacher, & I are clueless and frustrated.

Thank you for the rant.

No xray. There's nothing they can do for it anyway. I've done it twice before <_< Did you know that jumping into a pile of leaves arse first is NOT a soft landing.... I do :rolleyes:

On the bright side, this is my new nephew Oswald. He came over last night to meet the kids, get acclimated. It was love at first sight on both sides. He loves Max. He's super sweet for a Chow-and a rescue!

He needs a bath, so you might want to wait :P They picked him up yesterday and the fur on his head is perfect, but the rest of his body is pretty matted and his flanks have huge stress spots :( He was a stray that no one claimed. My brother saw him online, his girlfriend fell in love, they went to see him immedietly and Ozzie ran right up to Shane, burried his nose in his knees and stayed there. They brought him home, he went right over to his new bed and layed down. Hasn't barked once, just smiles all the time. Melts your heart! I get to play with him tomorrow :D

Went birding yesterday . . . we're a hardy lot. Probably about 12 of us total with temps less than 10 degF and a windchill about 0. We're looking at going on a field trip next Saturday to an area where bald eagles roost . . . supposedly have the potential of seeing 80 to 100 bald eagles.

Went to PF Changs tonight . . . man I love that place.

:huh:

I have no words.......except

ARE YOU NUTS????

BTW....what do you get at PFChangs? I've only been there once and did not like what I ordered.

The wind chill temp is -6F here. I think the flashers would freeze their Popsicles off!

I'm sure I would freeze something off at that temp....and I wouldn't have to be flashing. Perhaps that's why my boobies have refused to grow.....preservation :ph34r:

HOLY CRAP!!! Glad she's ok!

Trying to stay warm......Why do I live here???? :unsure:

Seeing an allergist, now. I don't tolerate much of anything these days. Haven't found any allergies yet except dust mites, so he took me off all grains (wasn't eating much anyways, but there goes my tortilla chips :( ) and beans. Things that dust mites could be habitating in. I don't think that's it. Next he wants me to try an organic diet.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
