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.

Yes! A tired boy is SO much easier for everyone than a bored boy....THAT is for sure..... :lol:

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. :)

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
