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

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.

.. . . ....'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:

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?

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!

Here are some short profiles on Michelle's beautiful team for this year's race.. . . ..I think my favorite is PATTI, a lovely little girl with quiet dignity who inspires confidence in any teammates with whom she runs alongside. Hmmmmm.......sounds like another Patti, somehow. . . . . .... :);)

Thanks, Manda! I LOVED the face on the one named Mallachi (not sure I spelled it right), such a great "I love life" grin!

Time for Germ-bugs to go home!

Everybody start pheelin' healthy/shiny/bubbly stat! :D (Does that help?) Sorry, no poopy, barfy blankies to offer.

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:

Workin' on it . . .

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:

Well, some good news. And hello :)

We just found out that in less than 2 months, I am moving with the family to Cape Cod.

We're both very excited and are looking forward to the adventure. I'll keep you all updated as we go.

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

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
