Did not have the pleasure of knowing her. I believe I joined after she stopped writing. My heart and prayers go to all of you and her family who knew and cherished her. I wish I had known her. She sounds like a bright and shining star.

Loey :( :(

Metta (Mouse) passed away several months ago and was in complete control through her journey and was VERY firm in her wishes. She left nothing undone. She was a pistol and proud of it. :rolleyes: And generous beyond belief. It was my pleasure to know her.

I love the cuddle feet pic - I've got a similar set that generally look quite nice even when the rest of me looks and feels like crap ;)

Last year I was trying to find extra large fresh birds for a deal and people were a bit prickly -- a very nice butcher at my local store went to look in back for extra large birds for me -- found the last two and thought it was going to start a riot when I put both in my cart -- luckily it was one of the rare missions that I had my hubby along to block while I escaped with my birds. Hey - it's not my fault no one else thought to ask if there were any more? :P

Luckily this store seemed to have a good supply, but i kept my distance. They were circling like vultures.

I used to work in a grocery store. People get CRAZY before holidays and storms.

Still makes no sense to me. How, if your power goes out in a storm, are you going

to use the milk and eggs you're buying? How do you not know Thanksgiving is coming

and at least somewhat prepare ahead of time? Why must you make us suffer ten

minutes before closing Thanksgiving Eve?.....

During this time of year, i tend to be more polite to the employees (not that i'm not the rest of the year just moreso). Like for example, today an employee was stalking potatos. One fell off and rolled toward me, so i picked it up and handed it to him.

How about a change of nail color? Just spray a new color on right? :)

Or maybe try those smush on shoe polish colors in the roller top bottle. You could change them every day really quick!

[T]oday an employee was stalking potatos.

So, what, was he sneaking around the produce section, trying to spy on the potatoes without being seen? :wacko:

I love auto-correct. B)

Wooo black belts, amazing!!!!

I'm doing whatever Vynscent says from now on :o

What's a good age to start with kids? Mine are 3 and 5. One would benefit from confidence and coordination, the other discipline and rule following (!)

CONGRATULATIONS

I have THE Universe's UGLIEST feet!!!! :( I can't wear sandals or open toed shoe's. On one foot I have a seriously crossed bunion. The other does the vulcan split ("be well & prosper"). Little children run away shrieking with fear (I made that up LOL) At the beach I bury them and they don't surface until I leave. The worst part is that I had surgery on them and within 3 months they went back to their crossed self. No refunds either! In my next life I want party pheet!!!

Hugz,

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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.
