Not to mention in -50 degrees (brrrr). My fingers don't work in 50 + degrees. Probably haffta be supervelcro to work in that kind of climate!

Well.....here's the latest in the hospital saga:

I was asking my dad how he's been sleeping, as he's had some real trouble since he's been admitted having a good night's sleep.....and this, of course, is so important in his recovery. Rehabilitation is next to impossible with a patient who is only averaging an hour of sleep every night.

So, Dad told the doctor on rounds this morning that he really needed his help. "On nights that I get some sleep, I'm having a recurring dream where I'm lying here in this bed, and suddenly these three beautiful, naked women come striding into the room. They pull the curtain around the bed, and start tearing my hospital gown off me".

The doctor said something like, "So, what happens?"

And my dad told the doc that he keeps pushing the naked women away.

"Well", the doc finally said, "What would you like me to do?"

And my dad said, "BREAK MY ARMS!"

:lol:

See, my father would actually say this to some unsuspecting doctor who doesn't recognise him. He really would.

I just wish I could BE there, next time. .. . . . . . .

Mornin', Peeps!

Ptaoughmghmn, may you have a day completely devoid of faux grepping.. . . . ...I hear ya on that one, and just HATE when that happens. . . . .. :rolleyes::P

A superb day in sports. . . . ....the Ottawa Senators have now won five in a row, and continue a thrilling charge for the playoffs (um.....as if, but one lives in hope). .. . . .

AND.....Michelle in a thrilling charge of her own, now in fifth with three dropped dogs. Yep, it is early to be travelling with only eleven, but if anyone can do it, it's HER!! :)

Dastardly David Dalton, who kept stealing third place from her last year, is now in 13th place. And my Jamaican hero Newton Marshall has slipped to 21st.

Man, he must be feeling the cold.. . . . . ...

Seriously tired and grouchy. Neighbors dog was barking ALL NIGHT LONG. Still barking.

Must figure out what to do next time. Who to call. And who's frickin dog.

Kween Niknik the Skinted.....did you manage to phind a schwasher yet? Hope so!

Yay Michelle! Go! Go!

*Some* of us don't know what "grepping" is :rolleyes: . Perhaps someone could explain? Just for the benefit of those in the dark....you see :D

Hmph! Barking dogs.....one of those irritating problems of communal life! Don't know if you should call animal control....dog warden....sherriff....the dogs owner (although the owner apparently was not concerned that his dog was having a problem). Hope you can get this resolved.

OMG. . . . something that I am just SO INTIMATELY familiar with. .. . . . :lol::rolleyes:

grep is a Open Original Shared Link text search utility originally written for Open Original Shared Link. The name is taken from the first letters in global / regular expression / print, a series of instructions for the Open Original Shared Link text editor. Open Original Shared Link The grep command searches files or Open Original Shared Link globally for lines matching a given Open Original Shared Link, and prints them to the program's Open Original Shared Link.

Now, just as I feel my eyes completely glazing over and my mind priming for explosion, we have this:

The term "grep" can be used as a verb, meaning to search

      By YoshiLuckyJackpotWinner888 · Posted

      What non organic or nonorganic molecules from a plastic bottle of water can trigger a reaction that I have only experienced during an auto immune experience? There really should not be any organic molecules in  such a bottle. I seen a thread where it was mentioned that his refrigerator water filter tested positive for gluten when he had it checked. If I went to physician to get checked for other possible triggers from a water bottle, I don’t think that will go anywhere. Again, distilled water containers cause no reactions. I’m not an industry expert, but something is there.  I don’t think that this is a case of microplastics causing this. Too bad we can’t call upon some third party investigation.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s understandable to want to be cautious, especially after experiencing symptoms. However, there is currently no scientific evidence that reverse osmosis or standard activated carbon water filters expose people to gluten in amounts that would trigger celiac disease. Gluten is a protein, and if any starch-based binder were used in filter manufacturing, it would not pass through RO membranes or remain in finished bottled water at clinically meaningful levels. Plain water — filtered, RO, or bottled — does not contain gluten unless it is intentionally added (which would require labeling). Steam-distilled water is certainly safe, but it is not considered medically necessary for people with celiac disease. If reactions are occurring, it may be helpful to explore other potential explanations with a healthcare provider rather than assuming filter-related gluten exposure.

      It’s understandable to look for bigger explanations when you’re dealing with complex symptoms, but the current scientific consensus does not support the idea that celiac disease evolved as a defense against Candida. Celiac disease is a well-characterized autoimmune condition triggered specifically by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals (HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8). While some laboratory studies have shown that certain Candida proteins (like Hwp1) share limited sequence similarities with gluten or tissue transglutaminase (tTG), that does not mean Candida causes celiac disease or commonly produces false-positive tTG tests in clinical practice. Anti-tTG IgA remains a highly specific and validated marker for celiac when used appropriately (especially alongside total IgA testing and, when indicated, biopsy). IgG antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ASCA) are more commonly associated with Crohn’s disease and are not considered diagnostic for celiac. There is ongoing research into microbiome interactions and immune cross-reactivity, but at this time there is no evidence that yeast exposure from foods triggers celiac autoimmunity in people without gluten exposure. If symptoms persist despite a strict gluten-free diet, it’s best to work with a gastroenterologist to rule out other conditions such as IBD, SIBO, non-celiac food intolerances, or refractory celiac disease rather than assuming a fungal-driven mechanism.

With celiac disease specifically, though, the only confirmed immune trigger is gluten. Reactions to dairy are common after diagnosis because intestinal damage can temporarily reduce lactase, leading to lactose intolerance — but that’s different from casein sensitivity. IgG food panels, including yeast, are generally considered markers of exposure rather than proof of clinical intolerance. Aged cheeses like Irish cheddar are typically gluten-free, though they do contain casein and natural cultures. If symptoms are strong and repeatable, it may be worth working with a gastroenterologist or allergist to sort out true allergies, intolerances, or other GI conditions rather than assuming multiple cross-reactive immune triggers.

That said, there’s currently no credible evidence that bottled water — including filtered water products like Gatorade water — contains gluten from filter materials. Activated carbon filters are typically bound with food-grade binders, and if any starch were used in manufacturing, it would not remain in the finished water at measurable or biologically active levels. Plain water itself does not contain protein, and gluten is a protein. Major beverage companies also have strict allergen control programs, and gluten would need to be declared if intentionally added. If symptoms are occurring consistently after certain products, it may be worth discussing with a physician to explore other potential triggers, but at this time distilled water is not considered medically necessary for people with celiac disease.
