Is Mulberry related to Rachelle's bunny?

Mulberry is adorable. :wub: :wub:

Difficult to believe that I'd ever be saying that about a chicken... . . . but there you are...

Hey Psilies! Mulberry IS one adorable chicken.

I'm just stopping by quickly as I'm in the midst of preparing for my move next week. Just needed to blow off some steam! What is it with utility companies trying to up the bills when you move? All I want to do is transfer everything to the new address without a rate increase. I understand there may be disconenct or connection fees but I'm moving within the same city. My monthly rate should stay the same. My internet company rep pissed me off when they said the rates for the same service would be going up by $10 a month for my new location. I happen to live in an area that has more than one internet company and I knew the competition was offering a lower rate so I told them I would be going with the other company then and to cancel! Argh!! I'm still so mad! I was really hoping that when I said I wanted to cancel they would offer me a better rate (they are offering a lower rate for people signing up online right now and I even pointed that out) or let me keep my same rate. That has always happened in the past when I threaten to cancel a service. But she just said, "sorry to see you go" and gave me a cancelation number. Now I'm going to have to either sign up with the other company or re-sign up online with my same company at the new address to get the discounted rate. Why do they have to make everything so complicated? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Gotta go try to get a hold of the water company for the new place next. I sat on hold with the "we are experiencing a high volume of calls, your call will be answered in the order it was recieved...blah...blah..blah" message for about 30 minutes and then gave up and decided to try later. Wish I could just do the water online but I can't find anyway to do that on the website.

So if y'all don't hear from me for a while It's probably because we don't have internet at the new place and I'm too busy hauling water from the river and boiling it for drinking. :lol:

So my mom is in the hospital. She'll be fine. She had alot of fluid retention in her legs. She probably waited too long to tell the doc. This is a different hospital then she was in before. She is supposed to be on a low fat low sodium diet. In the previous hospital that would have meant they wouldn't give her a pack of salt. When I called to order her dinner, they told me she couldn't have some things because of her diet. All Hell will break loose when she realizes she can't have a hamburger for lunch tomorrow!

:ph34r:

Sorry to hear your mom was in the hospital! I hope you were able to smuggle a burger into her to prevent hell from breaking loose. If not, maybe that's why I'm having such trouble with the utility companies? :lol:

She was actually happy with the lunch after all. She had either salmon or tilapia and it was good!

Perhaps you can send smoke signals? Is there a Celiac forum using smoke signals?

You'll have to get a grill for smoke signals!

Wow! Maybe I just need your mom to call my utility companies for me and threaten to break hell loose on them. :lol: Glad it went well and hope she's feeling better now. I think lighting fires for a smoke signal may be against the HOA rules at the new place. :ph34r: Would also be hard for you to see since we are getting lots of smoke here already from the wild fires in North Carolina. :blink: Maybe I should invest in carrier pigeons or something?

Maybe Jess's chickens?

Oh, excellent idea! Does Mulberry fly? My handwriting IS like chickscratch so if she's not up to flying I can just mail my posts for her to peck out on the computer. :lol:

Jestgar Rising Star

Mulberry does not fly. You need actual feathers for liftoff.....

We've seen Abe, Ben, Thomas J., JFK and Jackie, Holocaust survivors, snipers on Obama's roof......

Youse Yanks really know how to put together a national capitol. 'Tis magnificent: regal, clean, welcoming, bustling.......it is important for all to see this city, methinks. :)

Now everyone must come north and check out Canada's city of government........Tag! You're all it!

I wish we could have organized a Psilly Psummit........:(.....next time, and when I'm a little further south.....or west?... . . . ...

I've been there! I liked it, mostly because my northern relatives fed me junk food, but that was also where I learned to not take my mother to a museum and expect her to leave a room without reading aaalllll the words. Second grade, so it's been a while.

And that is an adorable chicken, for the nth time.

First rainy day with the wee chickies in their new pen. Those adorable feathered feet turn into little balls of mud. :o:lol:

Sweetie-pie is on vacation and I won't be seeing him for three weeks (the longest time ever not seeing each other!).

I was thinking this was a good thing because he's not the most expressive guy around, and if he really wasn't thrilled with me, this would give him a chance to figure it out. He just called to say how much fun he wasn't having and how much better everything would be if I were there.... :) Guess it's all ok... :)

Forgot to tell ya'll this : On the rare occasion where we find ourselves at a restaurant for a family dinner, I now always order my chicken filet as "my usual civckeb and rice".

I now have the kids referring to chickens as civckebs, as well. :lol:

I believe it is giving both Sophie and Jack some real street cred.

Jestgar Rising Star

Good to know that drunken typing has improved your kids standing in the world.

At the rate of posting on this thread, I am settling in for a good long reign. I am thinking about taxing the peasants.

Hey....I got a kid going to an out- of -state college! Subjects buying fancy chickens and vacations on foreign countries!

Hey all . . . I'm back from North Carolina . . . what happened? Did all hell break loose because apparently it's hotter 'n hell here and no rain. Two trees that were transferred last fall died while we were gone. OK, they were in the process of dying when we left but I couldn't believe how quick they completely browned in the last 9 days. Problee gonna have to do sumptin 'bout that.

We got home about 6 (after driving 9.5 hours) . . . then went to the 7:10 showing of Harry Potter.

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.
    • xxnonamexx
      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
