Wow! Probably a blessing in disguise that you had to carry your lunch around with you. You could get lost and wander for hours;)

I went to the doctor yesterday and I have pneumonia. My doctor said if I get worse I have to be hospitalized. After being in Yale for a week I'll do anything to prevent it. I swear I'm a germ magnet. I just need to be well by the 18th when we see Springsteen. Hell, I'll go even if I'm sick. I had a friend coming to visit this weekend and I had to cancel. Not contagious but too lethargic to have company.We've been watching the remastered Toy Story and it's worth it just for the bonus material.

Hope you all are well.

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. I need to get my psillie back!!!!!

There are stories swirling about something rather distracting happening in Gnick's neck o' the woods right now..... . ....I tell ya, it had better be something BIG to excuse this forgetting of Psilly duty.....

Nice to see you LoLo. Work on getting better! :)

I dinna ken where me silly is. Been chicken whackin'. Well, turkey whackin'. Mulberry ended up with just the one fluffball, other three eggs not fertile. When she started taking her out of the cage, Drumstick was delighted with this tasty looking morsel running around the yard! So I've been chasing the turkey away from the fluffball. Poor Mulberry's too scared of Drumstick to do much more than squawk. Anyways. Today there was eyeballing, but no baby attacks. Maybe DS is finally cluing in.

Seuss's foot seems OK so far.

House painting going slowly.

Random stuff from the early days. :P

When I go bald, I'll just comb my mullet foward....

I wanted a Barbie Doll and a maxi coat. I did have the 64 Crayola box with the sharpener--always hated to use them--they all looked so perfect and new at the start of the school year.

I have a Silly Putty story--one Sunday morning when I was maybe 7, everyone was getting ready for church. I decide to try to try transferring the Sunday comics onto my Silly Putty (like they did on TV). So I'm laying on the living room rug, and flatening the putty to get it ready. Trouble is, I'm pressing it into the carpet while doing this--*and it dosen't come up* :o

Suffice it to say the parents were not happy with me--thank goodness we had to get to church.... :unsure:

Of course, that ended the stuff in the house :(

Sorry kids, hate to break your hearts... but in 2007 I lost my job (sorta told the boss off and walked out kind of losing), and when I finally found a new job, they asked me to cut my hair.... mullet is gone.

AAAARGH!!!! I had a reply written and ready to go and by mistake left the page and the reply disappeared. Anyway you brought back really nice memories of silly putty. I wonder how old it is. We watched Toy Story the other night and I wonder how the silly putty could fit in. Perhaps give orders to the soldiers. Any other ideas?

I had a somewhat psilly thing happen (I'm learning I have to find humor in everything or I'd be depressed all of the time).I had been taking a nap and had to go to the bathroom. I was really dizzy and I know I should have waited but I didn't. Anyway I fell off the toilet onto my face. My wig will cover the bruises on my fathead (oops, meant far-head) but I'll need make-up for my chin.Superman was at the gym so he couldn't have saved me.The moral of the story is that if you're dizzy sit for a few minutes before going to the bathroom.

Today I go to the Pain Management Clinic. They use physiology instead of the routine tests. They also use different modalities of treatment I hope that I can have the treatments done where I live because the doctor is in New Haven (an hour away). On the letter that came with the forms in bold it said: no prescriptions will be given at the first appointment - I guess it's to rule out the people who are just looking for pills. Anyway, wish me luck. I'm a mess between the pneumonia, staph infection (thank God it seems to be clearing up) and falling on my face but I won't let anything get me down!!!

I hope this finds you all doing well and finding things for your tickle bone. It's nice to finally catch up on the posts (usually at 3 AM).

Love,

Loey

Happy to hear our favorite rooster is doing OK. Sorry to hear Loey got dizzy and fell. Especially grateful to hear Victor no longer has a mullet.

We are on vacation in the Monterey CA area. We kayaked this morning and saw lots of seals, otters, birds and more large jelly fish than you could imagine. J and Hub are napping, M is doing his summer math homework, and he and I are watching some Olympics.

There are fresh fruit & veggie stands everywhere. The strawberries are soooooo good.

Oh no! M just put down the math and laid down! I'm the only one awake!

What she said :P

Got through the first week of school. Still waiting for e-mail, mailbox and keys.

Whew! I'm pooped! Haven't had to navigate stairs at work for a few years. :o Thighs and butt are looking good and feeling the burn! ;)

      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
