Robotics update:

Did pretty good today. 10th out of 56 with 2 more matches to go tomorrow. Had the high scor of the day at 90 points but then someone got 96. Had one round where we were down one of the 3 robots, plus the other robot on our alliance didn't run.

We won a judge decided award tonight! The Control Award! Something about the people with the silver hats controlling the game.

I misread the standings of the mushers in the Iditarod a couple of days ago - - thinking Michelle was in ninth, I was over the moon, but she was really in TWENTY-ninth, having started in the 39 spot. Now she's in nineteenth, so beginning to steadily move up. .. .she's still got 15 dogs pulling, which is terrific.. .. .... B)

Fun should always be the goal. Even making it as far as you did is amazing. Those kids are amazing (as is the parental chaperon).

P.S. My first husband and I actually went to a resort where the bed was a red velvet heart with a mirror over it and the jacuzzi was a martini glass. Those were the days of my youth (pre cottage cheese)

Ohhhh, dear. . . . .. . . :unsure: :unsure: :unsure::(

Horrific earthquake on the northeast coast of Japan that has massive tsunami warnings affecting all countries of the Pacific Rim.. . . ..

I'm thinking immediately of our Rah-shyellle, who just got to Hawaii and would have been evacuated a few hours ago... . . ...the waves are expected to hit there within the next half-hour..... . . ..are Soooozle and Jooodie on or near the coast? Don't believe so... . . ....Shrooomie, youse guys are bracing for another bit of earthly sublimity, as are the Aussies....

Gawd, so many potentially effected.. . . . ..

Gnick, you're safe way over and up there! And I am, but my relatives out in Victoria have likely evacuated...

Praying for all of you on the West Coast and Canada (and of course Japan). It boggles the mind how muchdestruction can happen in a matter of moments!!!!!

Love and prayers to all- stay safe!!!!!

Made it to Utah. Went OT the little grocery - no hard cider! No wine! No wodka! Only glutinous beer! Couldn't find a liqour store anywhere. Probably wasn't open on Sun night anyway!

Inconsiderate Hub is drinking Polygamy Porter. It's motto: why have just one?

That's the problem with Utah - you have to find a state-run liquor store ---- when it's open :ph34r: On our trip to the high southwest spent time in the boondocks of Utah, and on the Navajo reservation (where there wasn't even beer - this was in our glutinous days), and got quite thirsty. :P

We was coming the other way, across US 50, and there wasn't much there either :unsure: - the loneliest road in the U. S. of A ('cept we ran into a traffic jam cos some airforce pilot had accidentally dropped "da bom" on the roadside. :blink: (unexploded)

The Navaho Nation is dry. It covers more than half of Arizona and parts of other neighboring states.

Utah might as well be dry. The laws there are very restrictive.

BYOB.

      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.
