My least fave is the sperm trees. There's some kinda tree that got imported hundreds of years ago that smells like sperm when it blooms. Just WHY? WHY would you plant more?

Remember these? The Bradford pear trees? They are starting to bloom! :ph34r:

OMG. . . . .forgot about the sperm trees.. . . . .:lol:

Yes, who indeed would plant more o' them? Not the kind of scent you want wafting in your kitchen and living room windows throughout the day, non-stop, all spring.. . . ....

At least there is no perfume fashioned after this pear tree.

.. . . . . ..... . .Is there??.. . ..... . :blink:

You know, back in the days when I knew no better, I was quite enamoured of this tree and was proposing to plant one right beside our deck, where we used to sit on spring and summer evenings to provide a meal for the skeeters :blink: No, I didn't plant something else, I just phorgot about it, thank goodness.

Gads, have I got a lot to do. .. . . .. :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Having a 50th birthday party here this Saturday night for DH. He is MUCH, MUCH older than I. <_< There will be about twenty people, just family and a few close friends. (Um, guess who is flying in tomorrow, 5:42 pm?). . . . ...

.. . ..MIL . .. . .... :noadequateemoticonavailable:

Saturday night is coincidentally the final night of Jack's musical production, which actually works out well because almost everyone who is coming to the party will be heading to the musical afterwards. It'll be one big convoy.. . .. ..

SOosoosooOoO, I have to clean the entire house and the yard in case we are out on the deck, hit groceries and the liquor store... . . ....and the big thing: I decided four days ago to do a painting for DH. I am about half-finished.....it must be dry, matted and framed by Friday night.

:unsure:

So WHAT IN HELL am I doing on here??. . .

Oh, man, would that ever be splendid!

Jack and the cast ran through the whole musical yesterday afternoon in front of the entire public school next door that came over for a field trip. A group of six year-olds were assembled in the front foyer and Jack walked by them in full costume and dramatic makeup. They fell utterly silent, staring like this:

:huh::huh::blink::huh::blink::huh:

He said to me afterwards, "PLEASE tell me that I don't look like this when you're seeing me up on stage, from the audience!!"

. .. . ......Like somethin' outta Clockwork Orange. .. . . ... ..

So funny! Hub & I are imaging a big tough cat chased by a chicken. Cooper would be running away, too.

Civckeb talk :lol:

Well, Elsie would run, terrified, from a rampant chicken. Hank, however, wants to be everything's friend (squirrels, unapproachable neighboUrs, ALL cats, particulary our two whom he follows around the house, licking their heads).... . ..so, a chicken would be nothing but a potential playmate.

But as Patteigh has said, civckebs always look pissed off.. . .perhaps he'd hesitate.. .. . . ... :rolleyes:

Well. . . ....I am still on a high. We went to the opening night of The Drowsy Chaperone at Jack's school, and it was incredible. I sound very like a biased mom, but everyone in the audience was truly blown away. I only wish Soooozle could have been there.... . ....

:lol:

Jack was fantastic. He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing. He plays the part, in this scene, of one of the cameramen who dances around, lifts up the leading lady, and generally keeps smiling', movin' his feet and singin'.. .. . ..

      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.
