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 have regular shingled roofs 'round here, and more metal cropping up.. . . .. ..and unfortunately, the odd roof daredevil attempting epic things:

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. :)

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
