I believe it is registered with the FDA. It came with papers listing ingredients, nutrition info and safe care & handling practices.

The big boss called him, and two other engineers, all with the same PM, into his office and told them to quit worrying about their jobs. So now I'm thinking the PM's butt is on the line and that's why she's treating the guys under her like crap.

Jesse has a meeting with HR and his boss today to talk about how upset he is that he didn't get the promotion he was up for (it totally should have been his), and how unsatisfied he is working for the company and the direction he thinks it's heading. He thinks they will give him 2 options for immediate advancement- district sales manager in Cincinnati or the head of the Service Excellence dept. So we either have to move for job 1 or he has to travel 3 days a week for job 2. We shall see.....

Actually, there are 2 more options....keep the same job or leave.

Do you want to move?

Not sure as I don't plan to eat Fluffy Snoflake Coconut Sugar Head. Much disagreement about a name for this pup. 7 year old girl wants names like coconut or snowball. 3 older brothers & dad want a name they aren't embarrassed to call. My boys said someone needs to explain that names with balls or nuts in them are not good choices.

Perhaps, we should have Max speak to her?

For him, the only other option is to leave the job. He doesn't want to continue in his current position bc it's getting him nowhere and he's way too driven to stay put. I would prefer he take the traveling job. If he takes the job in Ohio, he would be working every night until about 8pm anyway, so he'd never get to see us. I currently work 3 12's and on those days I only get to see the kids for about a half hour before they're off to bed. He could Skype with them on the nights he's out of town and see more of them than I do... And then I would be able to cut my hours to be home with the kids every afternoon. I feel like I might be a little selfish in my choice :unsure:

Yes, lets involve Max :lol: The name would be something like Darth Maul, Jabba, etc... I think if you have a fluffy white girlie dog, you need to counterbalance that with a strong, menacing name :P

--Max hasn't mentioned his balls in weeks! :lol::lol:

Oh! Get this--Preface: When we were thinking about getting another bunny, the name 'Simon' just came to me. Have no idea where it came from... Anyway-So I'm out on my front porch making ice cream and this neighbor is out on a walk. He comes up to the porch and starts chit-chatting about how long he's been in the neighborhood, how the guy that owned our house was a crazy bastard, the house was a stye (sp??), he had about a dozen cars, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, he starts talking about this guy's dog who would case out the neighborhood, making sure that everyone and everything was in place :P The dog's name..... Simon :o

So apparently, in addition to the last owner's mother haunting our house (nicely), the spirit of Simon the dog is around too! :blink:

I will suggest those names! She liked Optimus Prime, the transformer, but we agreed it was too hard to yell if the dog is running down the street.

Sooooooo, the meeting didn't go fabulously. He's pissed and disappointed. Sounds like the traveling job is definately an option if he's interested, but it's just temporary until he/we move. He said, and I agree, if we're going to move, let's go somewhere we WANT to go. East coast perhaps. N or S Carolina, New York, Maine, Virginia, Massachusetts.... Who knows. I don't like to see him unhappy and unsatisfied. I feel like they want him to stay in this division bc he's an asset to them, so they keep putting him off, hoping he'll quit b%$@#ing.

Boo <_<

So is this the place to vent about my inlaws? Ugh. We're moving in a few weeks and they want to come visit to "help". This is sure to make my move more stressful. Found out this morning IL's and BIL are all coming the day BEFORE we move and expect to stay with us. Umm...we live in a tiny two BR apartment. Our spare room has been an office, we don't have an extra bed and I have already packed the extra sheets. Office is already piled high with boxes and I was planning on filling it up more. MIL and FIL have complained about every hotel they have ever stayed in while visiting us (the last time being our wedding and they CHOSE their hotel). They will have to sleep on the couch (not a pull out) and an air matress in the living room (which is so small we will be stepping over them to get to the gallery kitchen). They also always complain about restaurant food no mater where we go. They haven't visited since my major dietary changes and no matter how much we try to explain they don't understand. I had a nigthmare last night that I came downstairs in the new house after moving and found MIL toasting regualar bread in my gluten-free toaster! Argh!!! :o

You & especially thier child, Hub, must put your foot down. You are not able to have guests, you are moving. You would love to have them in 2 weeks, 1 month... when you are settled and able to enjoy a visit. Everything is packed. You have plenty of helpers. I have a feeling MIL will set up your kitchen, etc.

Honestly, they can't come just decide to come without an invitation. Your husband is going to have to put his foot down with these people. YOu doing it probably won't matter. You are just that stupid girl who took thier son away.

Tell them "Great! Everything is packed, and the office is full of boxes, so bring sleeping bags and you can sleep on the kitchen floor." Ask them to pick up some instant coffee on their way, and some disposable bowls, and maybe extra milk so you can all have breakfast together before you get started. You'll provide the cereal.

      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.
