Hi Patti! Nice to "see" you!

Did anyone else notice that the girl on the bike is the only one on the whole video that would fit right in, style-wise, in 2011? Bell bottoms were always a disaster on a bike!

Enjoyed watching Foxy and her 2 teenage fox kits in the backyards this morning. I know how she feels. They are big enough to want to go off on there own & do things but not quite ready to be completely self- sufficient.

I can't put this on facebook because my neighbors are on my friends list. One of them doesn't care, one is convinced the fox will eat the dogs & maybe the grand baby, one likes it but is friends with the neighbor who wants the fox dead as wildlife does not belong in the yards. Tried to explain that she eats the overabundance of rabbits and chipmunks.

Why do people buy the biggest yard in the neighborhood and:

Never sit on the deck?

Have only a mini dog that must be supervised at all times?

Let the bushes at the back become a jungle?

Then complain that there are foxes & possums & rabbits?

Thank you for my rant time. Carry-on with Psilly business.

Ahh, the imponderables of life!!

For the same reason people buy the biggest off-road vehicle they can find

Do not know how to drive it

Use it only to go grocery shopping

And complain about the price of gas :D

Hope the foxes keep on eating the bunnies! :)

Those are also the neighbors who cut down the apple tree in their yard, cut down the lilac bush in YOUR yard, and have no sense of psillyness.

On another note, I think I am going to take my aimless-not cleaning self kayaking. And not fall in. Maybe. Or perhaps I shall.

These ones with the big yard, don't cut things down & its frustrating to the rest of us that it hurts. 3 years of fighting the poison ivy they won't take care of that comes in others's yards. Told them how to. finally Hub went over the fence & took care of it. They have old trees with dead branches that are going to fall on other peoples yard. When thier 5 pound dog tries to do dog things, like chase a rabbit, they panic. They hate when thier dog wants to sniff other dogs. I loved the people who lived there years ago. Had 2 big dogs that tore up the yard. People would be out in the yard with them. Foxy wouldn't like the dogs tho.

Teeny dog would zip thru the fence when he was young and try to play with my dog at the time, a lab, pit, pointer mix. My son jumped in just in time as my dog was about to share his stick ( some would call a firewood log ) with the little one by dropping it on him.

Speaking of sons..........

(sorry I'm a little late for that conversation)

......my son was just cast as a zombie extra in a film called Christmas With the Dead. He heard it was being filmed two houses down from him and they needed zombies, so he rushed over. One day of zombie school and one night of filming.

Makes a mother proud.

*sniff*

Ah yes! A Zombie son! You can now tell everyone he is an actor in a real film! But, did he have to take a drug test for this job like J did?

Just saw your other post in the Meeting Room. So you are in Auckland. When she is in NZ, Mushroom is near ChristChurch. I think she is currently visiting the Northern Hemisphere. She likes our summer better than the NZ winter.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
