So, while we are all basking in unseasonably warm weather, it is hard to realize that there are less than four days remaining until the start of this year's Open Original Shared Link

For those of you who weren't here last year, one of us has a personal connection to Open Original Shared Link

Two days ago, our dryer would not drain....it was half-full of water until DH banged around down there for a hour or so, and then it finally emptied. I rolled over 4500 posts yesterday......And this morning, our dishwasher is not draining. :huh:

:lol:

DH banged around in the kitchen this am, but it still sits with dirty water in the bottom.

So...Ehm....what it Suk-a-toe-ah? Never heard of it....and what does it have to do with trig? Inkwiring Minds Whant to Noe :D

Gaaaaaahhhhh.. . . . ...My grade ten mathS teacher, a huge woman with short, carrot-orange curly hair, enormous black-framed glasses (is it any surprise that I can still picture her perfectly?) excitedly told us the official anacronym for remembering the trig formula. Hilarious, as I remember the anacronym, but not what in hell

the formula was used to compute. . . ... :lol::lol: Chief SOHCAHTOA - - somefin' about sines, cosines, hypotenuses.....crap. . ...... give me a moment.. . .. ...

Ahhhh! Here!

SOHCAHTOA

A way of remembering how to compute the Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link of an Open Original Shared Link.

SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

CAH stands for Cosine equals Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

s126.gif

.. . . ....'Tis a nightmare. . . .....who in HELL uses this formula??????

Perhaps I can use it to fix my dishwasher.

I tried to get me own sub first and found out that there are (at least) three of us out today out of a total of 10 . . . ok, should I do a little mathS here and convert that into a fraction?? percentages?? . . . Not too hard. I can even do this one without a calculator and whilst running a fever.

Hey! Jahgnit. . . ...methinks if you assembled all of the possible supply teachers into a triangular formation in the staff room, you could employ the infinitely useful SOHCAHTOA formula, here. . . . . .....

:lol:

For those of you who weren't here last year, one of us has a personal connection to Open Original Shared Link

YAYYY!!! SO excited. . .. ..... ....

GOOOOOOOO MICHELLE!!!

I believe the starting pistol is 2 pm this Saturday. This year they start from Whitehorse. . . ...

Hmmmmm......Devil Child would indeed be hitting the east coast first. .. . .....

Can he fix dishwashers, then?

GJiannet....get better sooonn! :(

Todays phunnies; (it's a special day...you get two :D )

It's winter in New York and the gentle breezes blow,

Thirty freaking miles an hour at twenty-five below..

Oh, how I love New York when the snow's up to your butt,

You take a breath of winter and your nose gets frozen shut!!

Yes, the weather here is wonderful so I guess I'll hang around,

I could never leave New York because I'm frozen to the ground!

Em :wub:

We're home :D It really was a lovely time--lots of laffs and lots of wine :P Gawd, the only time I teared up was wif me dad--but they'll be out to visit, probably the day after we get a house. :rolleyes::lol:

Yesterday was spent at the hospital, though.......Mark's 91 year old aunt was having trouble breathing so his 89 and 1/2 year old mom called us at me mom's fer help. We picked up the both of them and met her doctor at the hospital. Long(very long) story short, he ended up switching her meds and sending her home--luckily it was (only)bronchitis, reaction to too many meds-- and probably a bit of anxiety.

It was quite something when we stopped at Wegman's for her prescriptions. :huh: Suddenly, she had more energy and was breathing fine, albeit wif a cough, so Mark went wif his mom to pick up a few things and I stayed wif Aunt Clara. There we were, picking things off the shelves for them, reading them the prices, bagging up minute amounts of produce ......all the while moving at a snail's pace.

We loaded everything up and took her back to the retirement home--which was beautiphul, by the way--and kept her company until her dinner was delivered and one of her "neighbor ladies" came by. It wasn't the afternoon we had planned, but it was nice to be able to help for once and so nice to spend time with a remarkable lady.

I have not begun to catch up, so I'm jumping in :D What did I miss? :unsure:

Did you take that pic of the humming bird??? I do so love hummingbirds . . . we only get the ruby-throated here and they are quite territorial. I was standing next to my feeder one day and I had one try to chase me off . . . cheeky little bugger.

Jess! Stop wasting yer mathy time! :lol:

Pahteigh! Your unexpected afternoon adventure just struck me as so.....wonderful, somehow. :) What a special lady Aunt Clara is! Absolutely terrific that you were engaged with her in such a way. . . . .....And I know she felt so safe and cared for in your capable hands. :)

Now, in your conversations with her, you didn't mention anything about anal glands or the yeti, didja? :unsure:

I just found out that Skeeter's doc has moved to Canada!! Apparently, we (the US) are trading my daughter's GI for Ryan.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
