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.

      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.
