Hey Bunnie & Rachelle are back! (Ugh I keep slipping w/ brainfog etc but I'm mostly trying to keep up)

Loved reading your seafaring tales Jess. :)

Jestgar Rising Star

Hey TomTom! Keep brushing away that brain fog -- eventually it will stay gone. :)

Next upcoming saga: The house sitter stole some of the Pirate's mail and took my truck joyriding. I tried to give him an out and let him blame it on a friend but he kept insisting he knew nothing about a missing package....until the officer showed up at his job and informed him that he'd left the packaging at my house...

He, and one or more of his parents are coming over tonight to return the bulbs and learn that "joyriding" in WA state is a felony. Should be an interesting evening.

He stole flower or light bulbs? Somethings wrong with that boy!

He's a bit of a dim bulb :rolleyes:

Jestgar Rising Star

light bulbs. led bulbs from China. Yes, dim bulb sums it up. His dad is disgusted and can't even talk to him. Not looking forward to lunch with his mom on Friday. She's one of my good friends, and I see this entirely as the kid's (24, not really a kid) problem. But I imagine that a parent would feel a lot of negative things in this situation.

I would be mortified if my kid did that at 16 or 36. I guess I would feel like I didn't teach him like I should.

J doesn't really have a summer job, so if you want to sail the 7 seas all summer.....he always liked the chickens at the petting zoo & The neighborhood Evil Kitty always liked him better than his own family. He could build an elevator for the chickies or build a robot to feed the kitties in his spare time. Maybe re- paint your truck?

Good to know. Maybe he could build a self closing door to the coop that's keyed to the amount of sunlight.

Either that or he could train Seuss, the rooster, to tap a button and shut the door when all the girls are inside.

Well.

Jess's saga ends with sunshine, chatting up the locals, a nice hot bath, and a 24 year old delinquent. Boy, unemployment doesn't sound too bad! (minus the delinquent)

Good to have Thoughmus,BunBun, and Rayshell back in the fold ^_^ Now all we need is Soozle. I hear she's been peeking in unnoticed. :rolleyes:

Soooo.....who here has today ever found a bullet in their bedroom with a hole in their wall and picture frame?

:myhandintheair:

Time to move, methinks

Bullet in yer bedroom?!?! MOOOOOVE!!

Wells, veg has known the caveman her entire life. Turns out, after 34 years they have a few things in common-other than their diets.... He has helped her understand that it's ok, and good, to be happy in her life. That she IS a good mom and a good person. And that she's not a dead fish..... That's as far as I'm going on that one... Lmao!! She goes fishing, 4wheeling in the woods, sleeps on a float house with NO indoor plumbing, sleeps in a cabin in the woods with no running water, propane lights, and NOOOOO INDOOR PLUMBING!! She snowboards and snowmobiles, she goes on freakin ROAD TRIPS-she thought she HATED road trips!!! She also loves his family (and grew up with them too. Caveman Sr. saved her life from drowning when she was 2). But most importantly, she smiles and laughs like a giggly little girl. And she's happy :)

Well there's a no contact order for the guy who stole my car awhile back, but I doubt he'd be THAT stupid :unsure:

I'm not known for pissing people off, but I come across quite a few juvenile delinquents working at a middle school <_<

Most likely a result of horseplay......I hope

This is all good :D She is living life and she is happy. We told you all those things too, you know :o - well, not the part about the dead fish - not enough information on that one :rolleyes:

Awwwwww.........that's awesome! Except.......

The only thing I hate more than being COLD is NO indoor plumbing! (picked up on that real quick, I did :P )

....and road trips depend on the driver and/or the company. Can't stand hubby's driving, so road trips are out for me too.

I'm getting the impresion that NO INDOOR PLUMBING is doable with the right company also :lol:

So glad the veg and the caveman are so compatible ;)

Well, she used to be called a dead fish. She is no longer called a dead fish..... :lol: :lol:

She doesn't mind the peeing in a bucket thing. Thought she would. But when the company is amazing and you gotta go... You gotta go!! And she's never ever worried about being cold!! ;)

It can be done -- this is exactly what old Mr. Guthrie has been trained to do at my mom's retirement residence.

My kid is a little delinquent. Not sure how much is him being a 6yo boy and how much of it is the divorce. He took a bark chip and wrote "ass" on the gym door a few times. He makes the worst choices and doesn't think AT ALL about the consequences. I don't know what to do. Therapist? Prison? I've taken away everything in his life except food and bathroom privilages and added more homework of my choosing...

:blink::blink::blink:

Jestgar Rising Star

Tell him if he's going to be vandalizing other people's property he'd better have nice writing and make him practice letters for a couple hours a day?

Have an extremely detailed discussion about body parts and tell him he needs to understand what he's writing? That next time you expect to see Open Original Shared Link?

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  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:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
