My life used to be so funny. I'm not sure where I lost my psillie mojo. I wish it would come back though. Even my kids haven't been saying too many funny things-that's REALLY odd!

Watching Bob Dylan on The Grammys--still looks pretty good.

Looks good, but sounds.......... not so good :blink: Mumford & Sons though... Phab!!

Banana cake.....buttercream or caramel frosting?

Little late to the game, as per usual, but I'd go with a whipped chocolate ganasche ;)

One of our radio stations played " easy listening" & Christmas music starting in Oct. They have changed to all comedy. They play different comedians stand- up. I was laughing while I was driving.

One guy was talking about the implications of men with PMS. " better not invite Joe to go hunting, he's PMSing"

Reminds me....Mark was telling me last week that he was talking to a couple other guys at the office and I guess he complained about something because one of the guys said--"want me to go into the ladies' room and get you a tampax?"

Mark replied--"Don't use 'em, I'm past menopause". :P

I bought these "Drive and Learn French" C.D's to listen to during my commute. I lasted 10 minutes this morning because it started out talking as fast as you can, "Let's count!" OneTwoThreeFourFive:UnDeuxTroisQuatreCinq, MyNameIsJohn,HowAreYou?:JeM'appelleJohn,CommentAllez-vous?

I was getting so stressed out I had to turn it off!! I don't really want to pay 300$ for the Rosetta Stone.

You don't need to learn French. The French all speak English. Spanish might be more useful.

We have a French exchange student on the robotics team. Better English then the rest of us. Extremely polite.

Only if they want to :ph34r: Now the Germans DO all speak English so that's a waste of time learning that language. I did the Spanish tapes in the car bit before we went to Mexico, (used to spend a lot of time stopped on the "free"way) and got these very strange looks :blink:

When my brother got his wisdom teeth out, the doctor told him to get tampons from his sisters to pack the wounds & absorb blood for the first day. So my 16 year old bro asked me his 20 year old sis for tampons. Then he said, "Not used ones, please." :ph34r:

Used to be fluent in Espanol, but alas, you don't use it, you lose it. I know I have no use for French at all, but my mother was fluent in French as was my college roommate and I've always wanted to learn. My high school only offered Spanish and Japanese. I didn't want either one of them, but I did get to go to Mexico 5 years in a row to practice. Now if I can manage to learn French and get to France 5 years in a row.....

Um. . . . . . . . . ....forgive me, any die-hard Dylan fans.. . . . ..... .. .but did he EVER sound good?? <_<

Um...NO. Good songwriter, yes. I thought maybe they had turned him mic off at the Grammy's bc I couldn't hear him over the instuments-which were UH-mazing btw!

Something is stinking in our garage. It's happened a couple of times this winter and we can't pin down the source. It gets really bad and then disappears all together only to resurface a month later. When the doors to the garage are closed, the whole place stinks, when you open them up, it completely airs out. There's no area of the garage that is worse than any other. The dog won't sniff it out either, she totally ignores it. I forget, why do we have her? She totally does not pull her weight around here!! You ask her to sniff out the location of one stinkin' thing and she totally blows us off!!!

Do you have access to a cat? Evil Kitty, the neighborhood cat, checks my garage for hidden mice.

Yes, I do believe it is that "something's dead" smell . . . but why does it come and go . . . and why is the dog not even remotely interested??!!!

I'm afeared that we need to actually haul everything out of the garage to find it and that's just not possible at the moment . . . hence, hoping that the dog would point us in the right direction <_< . . . guess we shoulda got a pointer instead of a mutt that is only interested in squirrels. That makes me think that it is NOT a dead squirrel.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would...

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting...

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.
