Sounds like we must all flee to Jess's. Move over chickies.

I would prefer the purple diaper, myself. If you are requiring them.

Hi, Leeeesargh! :D

They will pound on the door until the neighbors call the police I'm afraid!

He has spoken to them a few times and they seemed pretty intent on camping out on our floor tonight.

Manna....these people just sound freaking nuts.

No real advice here, sorry to say.... . ....just sympathy, and feelings of relief are washing over me as I realize that there are folks whose MILs are more challenging than mine.....

Holy crap! Canada is supposed to be cold all the time, being the great WHITE NORTH and all.

It got to 99.2 F in Ottawa today. SOOOO humid I felt like I was trying to make my way through a vat of hot syrup.....just haynus (speaking of Sooooozle)!

All right, my modem is fried :angry: and we are suddenly changing internet providers. This is also somewhat haynus, as I will be needing to let ALL of my contacts know of my email address change.. .. ....crap. So get ready to change my addy, Psills -- I'll be getting the new modem/router thingy on Saturday, and will send out the thousand heads-up messages then. . . .. . ....

This is actually quite nice, however......sitting in the quiet, cool, dim public library computer room, typing away on the city desktops....no teenagers yelling "where's my phone??" or " MOM! Jack will not give me the ketchup!!" or, "Mom, I need these pants taken in by this aft!!"

Yeah.. . ..nice.......

Ah, cooler temperatures. At six, it had dropped to 99F, and the seven o'clock reading is 97. Still bloody hot. And extremely humid to boot.

At 6:30 it was 104 plus humidity of 45%. Great night for a Lacrosse game! I shall melt, just watching.

I told M to volunteer to bring the pet rodents home for the weekend from the day vamp he is working at. I can't bear to think of the poor things in the heat. I will drive to the camp ( usually he takes a bus) to rescue the poor GP, ferret & chinchilla.

I'll be right up there! It's after 10 PM and it's 91 degrees here with very high humitdity. It's supposed to be 100 degrees tommorrow and a 101 on Saturday.

ILs are all settled in a hotel for the night and it only took 2 hours to convince them that it was in their best interest to stay there. FIL complained about the hotel from the minute we said hello (we met them at the hotel because we wanted to make sure they stayed there instead of trying to come to us). They are in a nice suite with a kitchenette because it was actually cheaper than most of the other places that are not booked. We live in a touristy area, it's peak season and there is some kind of convetion in town. Finding them a room at all was a challenge. Anyway, FIL wanted something cheaper (it's $99 for a suite which is actually a STEAL in the area they are staying) and wanted to start just driving to other places asking about prices. There are several hotels on the same strip of road that he could see from his hotel and he wanted to go see if they were cheaper. I quoted him the prices for every hotel on the strip (most were $160 or more and a few were booked solid). They reluctantly checked in and took stuff up to the room all the while FIL is complaining about everything from the fact that the hotel seems really busy (they were lucky to get a room at all and the parking lot was pretty full) to the fact they were on the second floor and had to take an elevator. Once in the room the complaining about the hotel price starts all over and FIl wants to leave and go look for a better option. We offer to pay for the hotel but they won't let us. I had to get out my laptop and actually show him prices of other nearby hotels to get him to believe the area we are in is that much. MIL was actually quite impressed with the hotel and liked it a lot (it is a very nice chain in a good neighborhood and has a five star rating on hotels.com). The staff at this hotel was amazing. I've never seen a staff so friendly to people that were loudly saying how much they didn't want to stay there and complaining before they even checked in. I have worked a hotel front desk before so I know how hard that is to be that helpful and friendly to people that are being jerks. I'm going to put in a positive review for this place and we didn't even stay there!

Oh, and I almost forgot the best part! Just as we were leaving, MIL gave me a bag of spelt flour! Doh! I bit my lip and resisted trying to explain to her that spelt has gluten and I can't have it either. If I had tried to explain (for the 100th time) why I can't have that we would have been there another hour. It's late and I still have lots to do to prepare for tommorrow.

Should be doing something but its too hot to move! Which got me thinking about the hot move GFM is having.

Wondering - Have the ILs melted yet?

- What of the trailer full of junk?

- Will gluteny or dairy foods sneak into new house?

- Has FIL made peace with the hotel?

Beware the chickens injected with salt water! (Not jess's fluffies, but the supermarket varieties) Seriously, are you instructing your dad on which brands of chicken have no added sodium?

They're almost as dangerous as inlaws bearing "gifts" of poison and clutter.

Good point. I was going to tell him to get the kind at the butcher counter. At the grocery he goes to, they have nothing injected.

Still no GFM sitings. Did not see anything on the news about IL killings. Maybe they haven't found the bodies? Maybe they don't have Internet access at the Funny Farm?

Ok...I refuse to believe it went smoothly.. That would not be as interesting. :blink:

I had some steak for breakfast, and there was a lot of juice left on the plate, so I mixed it with some quinoa flour, and stirred it up with chunks of fat I had cut off the meat. It looked like something that would be really tasty if deep-fried. :P Gave the big girls their share and brought the rest out to the teenage chicks. Chickens are suspicious of most new food, so I thought it might take a while for them to try it, but it turns out they make an exception for fresh steak. :D They were on me before I even started scooping it out.

About half of them grabbed a chunk, and the other half chased them around. The little silkie sat happily nipping the flour coating and ignoring the big chunks. I left them to figure it out, and a few minutes later I heard loud honking. The Brahma, who honks like a goose, apparently got the last piece, 'cause she was racing around making her muffled 'neener-neener' honk and the entire pack was chasing her.

That's today's episode of "Chicken TV". Don't forget to tune in for tomorrow's adventure.

Some day, I'm going to get some chickens. I never knew they were such fun.

Forgot that GFM might be off line. Really she should go to the library & send an update. The carrier pidgeon or chicken never made it here.

She probably used a silkie - I'm tellin' ya, they can't fly. It'll take forever for those tiny little legs to get to your house.

We have 4 hungry fox to feed. :ph34r:

The 2 young fox are really bold. I guess being born & raised around us humans has them a bit use to us. They will sit with 10 feet & a fence between them and my dog. Coop & the fox have decided to ignore each other. Sometimes they come to the back fence & watch him. They were sitting on my neighbors small front porch. They were laying - 1 in the street & 1 on the sidewalk when another neighbor was trying to run. They didn't move.

I told my family that we may have to scare them. Being so bold will get them killed around here.

J must take an online "Sex and Alcohol" class before he can go to his college. One of the assignments is to make a list of your Sex & Alcohol goals for college. One of his goals is no babies. :o

Hmm..... . ..not quite sure how I would have organized my Sex and Alcohol Goals List as a university student were I to have needed to create one..... . ....:unsure:.... . . .

It likely would have looked like this:

SEX -- YES

ALCOHOL -- YES

:lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you
