Did this neighbor move or did he just not put up his display this year??

He moved. A very large Indian family moved into the house . .. . . nothing exciting on the front lawn anymore. But wonderful cooking smells when I walk by. . . .. . ..

Holy crap.....Sophie and I are going to a baby shower next month, and on the invitation it says that our pregnant friend is "Registered at Toys R Us".

Gads. Call me old-fashioned, or just old, but what's the world coming to? Women are registering now for baby stuff? I dunno....just so impersonal, no real thought goes into any gift-giving anymore, no one has time . . .. . .

Has this been going on for a while with baby showers?

Perhaps I'm simply way outta the loop. . . . .

Ummmm . . . yep . . . my crowd all registered at Baby's R Us . . . and so did we . . . keeps you from getting a lot of duplicates and having to take it back and return it which is not something you want to do when you're 8 months preggers.

I also think this is very impersonal as well as saying I don't want your idea of a gift. If it were me I'd just go with my gut feeling and get what I wanted to get for the baby. Just my two cents worth :)

Yep, this is exactly what I'm gonna do. I cannot imagine going into Toys R Us, looking at an extensive list of items, half of which I won't even touch or see, choosing whatever thing falls into my price range, and having it boxed and delivered to her house.

:huh:

Hanh?

What have we come to.......?.....no time to search for a heartfelt gift that YOU think of, and pick out, and touch? If she needs to return it for whatever reason, I will absolutely do that for her.....

There. Okay.....decision made......

Back to mini, flurrying posts!!

Yes, it seems the gift giving for baby showers is very specific (much like weddings) where in the invitation you get a little card to where they are registered.

On the one hand I can see that it helps give the parents to be the chance to request what they really need, instead of having a bunch of stuff they might not want/use, or as Janet said duplicates

....but yeah on the other hand it's impersonal and kind of against old etiquette to ask for your gifts :lol:

Hey! I see Barack's been travelling on the whistle-stop train to Washington. Apparently, several hundred people from Ottawa arranged a huge tour bus to head down and meet him there. .. .

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      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.
