Well, she's not naming it Bunnie.....

Maybe that is because you don't spend enough quality time here with us, Julie. Don't be a stranger. :wub:

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

:P I'm here--we are having a floor installed in my son's kitchen and laundry room. It was supposed to be done yesterday, and suffice it to say that everything that could possibly go wrong did.

The installer--whom we have known for 15 years and did mucho work for us when we lived here--decided to remove the hot water heater, which is the right way to do it. Hyjinks ensued when he turned the "shut-off" valve and it proceeded to spew water all over the place. (he missed the real one underneath the unit :rolleyes: ) It ended up phlooding the floor, got all over the walls, and even soaked the phone.

We had to put in an emergency call to the water dept, who came within 10 minutes and shut off the water to the house--and this is where Karrighn's snow pile comes in....they had to dig through about 2 feet of piled up snow to get to the valve. (once it was under control, they turned it back on) Since the water heater spent the night on the back porch, we had no hot water last night. The floor guys are here now, the plumber will be back around noon and hopefully it'll be done by this afternoon.

I did have a quiet break in the afternoon yesterday when I drove Matt to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. Got to sit in the waiting room and watch Animal Planet :D

Why do they do that? My house has 2 shut-offs to house - one 8 inches above the other. Plumbers have never been able to explain that.

Glad you are OK. You are usually on here all the time but when you weren't I started worrying. Then my mind started going in wild tangents. I hoped you decided to chuck all this snow & had just run off to Tahiti. But then.... I remembered you had been sick. There was a thing on the news about what happens to your FB if you die. One of J's football & lacrosse teammates dad died suddenly so we have had that on our minds. So I started to leap to horrible thoughts.

Hadn't thought of Remodelling Hell.

Holy crap. . . . .. . ....well, you haven't just phlipped over a big number.. . .. ....Patteigh, you need to ask your son if he is posting on any online forums, and if so, to check his post count. This Deluge Clause could be present in many other forums, for all we know.. . . ... .. :unsure:... . . . ..

Aw thanks :wub: Twas a rare thing, but I wasn't on the computer at all yesterday. Mark had to go back last night to get back to work (he took yesterday off), but I'm thinking I'll just stay till Saturday so he doesn't have to make the trip to come get me after work. I just hope the washer is hooked up tonight--I've been here since Friday night and don't wanna run out of clothes...

Mmmmmm--he does participate in a car oriented phorum. I'll bet he just phlipped over a whopper :lol:

Put them out on the front lawn as an art installation. A commentary on the weather and our society.

Was thinking maybe a name made with all our first initials but we don't have enough vowels.

Well, I was new to the short bus (although sometimes feel I need to be on one :blink: - see below ) Had to google it - that's one bit of technology I have mastered to a fine art :P

Hahaha - welcome to the world of the technology challenged. :lol: That's what it's like for us all the time. Although I have scrambled out of the 1900's. Instead of saying "I wanna Iphone" I kept saying "I wanna Ipod" Of course, being of short bus calibre I didn't know what they even looked like, but said to hubs, if I'm going to put in the miles on the damned treadmill, I gotta have me some decent music, and sent him to not only buy me one but to put the music on it too :lol: Now I toddle along to my heart's content listenin' to the happy beat with my happy feet. Couldn't believe how tiny those things are, but my humungous head has such little ears stuck on it that the speaker buds are almost too big to stay in :unsure:

You need the ones like ear plugs that you squeeze, put in ears then they expand so they stay in better. Or just the old school headphones like earmuffs ;)

      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.
