Most definitely.

No wind for us, it's cold (not east coast cold, but Seattle cold) and sunny (ok, well, it's dark now, but 'twas sunny a few hours ago).

So I accidentally bought some chocolate, and I've discovered that after eating the 70% kind, the 'normal' dark chocolate (45%) tastes like milk chocolate.

Accidentally bought chocolate? You were reaching for the brocolii and grabbed the wrong thing?

Man, I HATE when that happens. . . .. ... . ..Who hasn't, in their stressed, rushed, lives, confused that big head o' broccoli in the grocery bin for that box of chocolate right beside it? They need to separate these items within the store -- too easily confused, and then BAM! I've got a big container o' chocolate in my house.. .. . . ....

<_<

:rolleyes:

All present and accounted for. . .. . . ...we're only expecting 6-7 inches of psnaough. But it's begun, and it's really blowing. Very high winds coming.. .. ..dangerous driving, and of course I have to get my mom to TWO doc appointments today.. . . . .... ..

Hunker down, everybody!

School is out again today. Everything is covered in a thick layer of ice.

DD, in an attempt to de-ice her car, has broken her back windshield (she was using a hammer :o ). Many tears followed :( .

I think you mean he did NOT see his shadow. And yes, I am sooo ready for an early spring.

25 degrees here....not too terrible, but I will be driving my daughters newly air-conditioned car to the repair shop....brrrrr :ph34r:

What?! :huh:

She had already broken her ice scraper yesterday, trying to chip away the ice from her car. She saw a neighbor doing it (although I think his was a mallet), so......

Good news

The windshield will cost $400 to replace, BUT........the company she works for will reimburse her.

Hubby just tried to do some shoveling . . . he DID get a layer off so that we can get the back door open to let JoDog out to take cake of bidness. I asked if he was going to try the driveway next <snort>. . . it ain't happenin'.

I don't think we got as much as they predicted, but what we got is bad enough . . . sleet fused together with ice . . . very slick and concretish at our house. Have absolutely no idea what the roads are doing. Nobody's moving thru the neighborhood at all. Neighbor kids were ice skating in the cul-de-sac yesterday. We've got some tree limbs down but they're not too big. Of course the tree I would most like to lose (and replace with something much better) is standing strong.

Yeah, and on dat tree, too. .. .... . . . ..<_<

It is rather sublime, here, outside. Blowing psnaough... . . .like a wee blizzard. Ice is forming, but haven't seen any tree limbs down as yet. Spotty power outages. We are so accustomed to this, it is a regular day. Kids at school, buses moving, all kinds of cars on the roads, pedestrains plowing through the sidewalks and streets. . . . . ...... .

We's a crazy lot... . . .. ... :rolleyes:

Yeah, we would have had school cancelled, grocery stores out of food cuz peep's are freaking out and buying everything on the shelves, regular TV programs interrupted bu "Special Breaking News" reporting each new cm of psnoh and every accident on the road :rolleyes:

I just want a psnoh day-WITH power outage- to have an excuse to stay in bed and read all day! :)

Things are going a wee bit haywire for Clark and me. Saw FP on Wednesday and now I have to see five specialists and have 5 tests done. Then yesterday my DH called at 7:30 AM to let me know his department is being transferred to Cambridge Mass. WTF? we just got here 6 months ago. Spent the day wondering all the 3 W's . Had to wait until 5:30 PM to find out any info. We talked it over last night and I think it's going to take 18 to 24 months before the actual move. We're going to stay in RI and he'll probably take an apartment with some of the other displaced men and come home Friday through Sunday. We lived like that for 3 months last year but it was at the height of my illness. It still sucked. This would be for about 5 years and then he could retire at 55. I'm glad that we won't be selling the house (as if we could in this market) and we're pretty sure he won't be one of the people laid off. But I see now why he has said the Pfizer has a horrible reputation.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Cool tunnel!!! . . . Karen, is it big enough to make a tunnel for the car to get out of the drive thru?

Hubby keeps going out and hacking at the drive and them coming back in to say he can't make a dent then going back out to hack at the drive . . . etc . . . he's talking about using the ax . . . hope I can get him to the ER when he has a heart attack or accidently chops his foot off.

      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.
