I usually say "As long as they don't use it on someone else." or "Keep your haircare to yourself!"

Applies to a couple of boys as well as the girls.

Now I have a parent that has told a bunch of the other parents that there is no cost to them for the kids to travel with the team. If a random someone decides the kids don't have to buy thier own food, does that make it so?

I'm going to hide in a hole, now. :ph34r:

How sweet of that parent to offer to pay for everyone's meals! :P

So, we are having a parent meeting to explain things. I know with 50 kids, a few parents might not be able to make it. One emailed me back to say they had something that night, could we change the date?

Felt like saying, " sure. for you. We will ask 100 people to change the date.". Or " Sure, we'll change it to May 2". After the season is over.

So my hub said that he assumes people ,like the one that wants the meeting changed for them, don't think before they email. He said he would rather believe that then that they thought it out and decided everyone should accomadate them.

So that makes these people " thoughtless"? Dumb? They get a GFT on the head to knock some sense into them!

Thoughtless.

Or they've never had to organize a group of people and have no idea what's involved.

Can you schedule the meetings a month out and tell everyone now so they can set their own schedules?

It won't matter. I know some people have bought tickets months ago to something, or 1 school has a band concert, etc. Its OK. I just couldn't believe they would think we would change the date for one family.

Hello my dear psillies. - I've missed you all so much

I'm back from my nightmarish couple of weeks. It turned out my main problem was bad psychotropic drug interactions that I've been taking for years and they finally built up too high for my body weight. Now here's the scary and psilly part of it. I was trying to get in to see my psychiatrist earlier than my next appointment but he's having surgery and has no covering doctor and will only see suicidal patients. I don't know how to safely get off the worst of the drugs (depakote). Luckily Superman worked in the pharmaceutical field for 27 years and looked it up and the side affects. I'm slowly weaning myself off of the depakote and will be switching doctors. Right now I'm falling again (the depakote). I feel I have so much to be grateful for. My dear friends and the support they give me and my sweet Superman. After all the worry and and stress I put him under he bought me a Kindle Fire so I can read again. My eyesight is still hazy and now I can make the font size as large as I need to. I feel I'm on the road to recovery but still need to take it slow.

I'm still tiring easily so will end with an update on Tony. He has two internships this summer. One with one of his psychology professors and the other ...drumroll..... with the Public Defender's Office. I am SO proud of him!!! All right, time to eat lunch. My weight is still really low.

Lots of love wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Perhaps we should be careful when we complain about restaurant food and send it back to the kitchen???

A good chef must be passionate about his food!

Maybe Chuck Norris can set him straight! Now that would be a good food fight!

No, you're right, Ptaoughmm....there is NO magic triangle o'er in that other place......but hey, you can LIKE something!

And poke people.......

Actually, I have never poked anyone. Ever. The odd time I wish we could slap someone. <_<

And I KNOW, I simply HATE that hit-enter-and-your-post-is-public..... . .. ..I often do this. If you want to simply skip to a new line, hit "enter" and "shift" at the same time......:)

Read this as: "When you want to skip to a new line, you hit "enter" and say "sh!t" at the same time."

.....it didn't work for me :unsure: :unsure:

      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
