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:

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.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
