Stymphony, I could like it. Bob's out-- bob is the (invisible) frisbee player who never seems to catch or return it. We think he has issues (shhhh....).

my garden was still overly damp to do more than sneak and handful of spinach and a few peas... sigh.

My gin and tonic is delish tho.

My son was trying to play frisbee at the senior picnic. He said he had never seen a more pathetic group of frisbee players. We didn't realize that Bob & his cousins - Rob, Robbie, Bobby & Bobbie were playing. That explains alot.

Do Bob & his cousins play other sports, too?

The only team/group/projectile-based* sport that Bob hasn't joined me has been croquet. Not sure why he doesn't like it...

*we avoid discussing ball sports, as it seems in induce snickers even in those who are old enough to simply twitch their eye brows appropriately at the pun.

I believe Bob has played a few times on my boys lacrosse teams.

J's summer job report:

He gets a desk & a computer in a room with others in "short" cubicles (you can see over the top if you are tallish).

He has learned that:

-When the boss leaves, a ball is tossed around the office

- Call in sick if the weather is nice

- If you use a germaphobe's computer, expect him to spend 15 minutes cleaning the keyboard, desk, area around the desk and then 10 minutes of handwashing

- 18 year olds hired to do thier jobs must be geninuses

Great.... :blink:

I used to work next to a germiphobe (sort of?) who worked from home some days. She quite thoroughly cleaned her desk area the day after she had worked from home. But she used hand sanitizer, not actual hand washing.

We call it "working from home" although, I will admit, there are some days when working from home also means working 12 hour days and not getting around to showering, as one was too busy working. Or working on official snow days... or holidays... or when one is actually sick.

Hmm... I could use a few genius underlings. But of the sort who are very focused... is that a cotnradiction in terms?

Yeah! right! He was watching re- runs of The Office and saying, " Yeah! That happens!". " this is just like my office"

Apparently, there are men in the office who can make an entire sentence out of cuss words. He finds this hysterical.

He is very focussed if the job deals with machinery or physics or sports or food. My other is extremely focussed if the job requires animal care, making fires, cooking over a fire, video games, canoeing, etc

I'm so happy for J. Tony is working a graveyard shift washing dishes. We didn't lean on him to get a job before last summer and we got here too late for him to find one Now he's facing the cruel reality of most first jobs..

BTW, he bought the three of us Bare Naked Ladies tickets as a combination of a mother's and father's day present.

Oh, that's phab, Low!! They put on a GREEEEEEAAAT show - - so much fun!

DD's part-time job at Wallyworld sounds not a whole lot better than washing dishes, but at least she has the constant flow of P.O.W's (People of Walmart) lined up at her cash to keep her visually entertained.

Many of them could climb up on a stage and be just as entertaining as The Bare Naked Ladies.... . . .

Hey . . . I did nae know your DD was working WallyWorld . . . is she the one that keeps taking the pictures and sending them out for the world to see? . . . Did the cross-dresser with the pink mohawk go through her line?

No Mohawk Guy yet... . . .. but remember, it is now thong season, and the Thong POWs are surfacing. I've told her to try to take pics while she's on break.

Actually, I'd like to know where the bulk of the POW pics that are circulated around in emails are taken. . . ...I don't think we have enough of the splendor here in Ottawa to be contributing to the mailouts, for Sophie says that there isn't much to photograph.

...Just individuals with eighty packages of Christie's Double Chunk Cookies stuffed into their carts. . ..... :blink:. . .... well, hey, they were on sale last week. .. . ... .

I believe that many of the POW pics are taken at the Walmarts in Branson & Osage beach, Mo. This is typical beach/ summer clothing styles for the Ozark vacation land.

Shrooomie,

Are you staying in ICV, NV again?

If Shroomie goes to the Walmart on the Calif side, the slippers are over dressing. Barefoot is the style.

No, we have decamped from ICV because my COPD could no longer handle the altitude - we now have a Wallyworld only a couple of miles away :rolleyes::rolleyes: but haven't unpacked my thongs or shorts, need my flip-flops because the sidewalks are too durned hot, but I need to get my tats touched up before I am ready for full POW exposure. Give me a chance to put the whole act together and I will try to grace the next POW collection.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
