Actually, I'm way beyond being alarmed :o It's all water off a duck's back (or is that a civbek's back?) Ahhh, that gentle rolling motion of the bed.... like a lullaby :D Only thing that would alarm me would be being trapped in the rubble.

Lots of roofers here today, none of them very alarming, a couple with biggish thumbs :o I just gave them all tea and scones and sized 'em up. Raised their blood sugar (if not their blood) :blink: I'm afraid they don't get too excited when they see me (except for the scones!).

I'm pretty sure sizing up a man's scones will raise your blood, if you aren't careful. :o

Well, I sized these scones up pretty good - they were girnormous, but it didn't affect my blood none :blink:

Of course they all went hom because it started raining. And they put little umbrellas held on with bungee cord over the ridges they had mortared in. With all the rain you guys get up there, Gyess, you must have seen these? Or do you not do clay tile roofs?

No tile roofs (rarely). Mainly shingles and metal.

You do see a lot of roofs (rooves?) with blue tarp on them. It's a blue tarp kinda place Open Original Shared Link

We are still here! Strange tornados going thru. They just pop up & down. Not very strong cold air tornados. Hard to see as they don't form the defined water part that makes them show a nice cone shaped.

I feel like I'm back from the dead every time I get on here! Me thinks I need to give up one of my many jobs. I've decided, and am disappointed, that I'm not superwoman :rolleyes:

... .. . . ..Painting/drawing studio, here. . .. . . ...

Yes, because you have a lot of pictures to paint by February.... ;)

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Gah! I'm already in agony thinking about it and the hub is counting down the days! (2950!!) :o<_<:(

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

I cannae picture my grandfather-in-law who is 96 watching Comedy Central. I am for certain that THAT would kill him for sure! :huh:

:lol:

Yes, depending on te neighborhoods, it's either blue tarps or solar panels :P

Karen . . . spent some time in the basement last night . . . let the kids sleep down there . . . how's 'bout you?

Smackl is "graduating" from 5th grade tomorrow. There are all kinds of end of school activities. His black belt testing (which includes extra seminars/classes) is in two weeks. He tried out and made the Tae Kwon Do Demonstration team which includes lots of additional extra classes and now demonstrations (at the opening of Kung Fu Panda 2). He starts band camp in about a week and a half. He wants to take tennis lessons. I'm ready for him to start driving himself to some of these things!!!! . . . Nope, no cryin' here. More on the countin' down side.

Who the he!! had a big turnover??? Fridge died Tuesday morning with water all over the floor as the freezer melted. Bought a new fridge by 3:00pm so that I could get it delivered the next day (yesterday). We have cooled down overnight and are now officially ready to move in . . . this thing is freakin' huge . . . didn't look that big in the store.

We were fine last night. Our tornadoes were about 11 am to 12. Lots of funnel clouds going over and occasionally coming down briefly. Sedalia which is east of us a little ways got hit pretty good. Not as big a tornado as Joplin had.

Its good to keep Smackl busy. He won't be bored, just tired.

Went to BE's parent's house to watch the Viking Fest Parade (Love those small town parades) and sent them flowers to thank them. Astonishing the amount of brownie points you get for doing such a small thing. :) And I've made four people very happy (me, BE, his parents). Life is good. :)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
