OK, apparently the rest of yas all have lives, but it's pouring rain here, and I have a bunch of work today, so I'm employing my favorite procrastination method - you guys. I'll just chatter on by myself for a while...

Yesterday on the ferry I sat with a woman I only talk to occasionally and she invited me to join her commute group (we all travel in packs) at the Mexican restaurant on the island. Since I had met the others at least once, I figured, why not? So I'm talking to this woman and her hubby and it turns out that they're trained actors/performers, and he actually runs one of the professional theaters in the city. (the interesting part is coming up, I promise. Although I'm not promising that it'll be that interesting.)

Anyway, it turns out that, as part of his job, he gets tickets to 2 or 3 performances a week in the city. He tries to go, but sometimes it's just too much, especially for his wife, since she has a full time job and wants to spend her evenings with her son. (seriously, something worth reading has got to be coming up)

Anyway, before I knew all that I was telling them that a person from our theater group was in Hello, Dolly and I would love to see it but I just couldn't afford the tickets. (almost there. The paragraphs are getting shorter (although it seems that the commentary is getting longer) so it's got to be close)

So he turns to his wife and says "do you want to see Dolly?" She makes the frowny face and shakes her head, so he looks at me and says "do you want to see Dolly with me?" :o:o:D

(that was the exciting part. you might want to re-read it for the full effect, now that you know the punch line)

So Thursday evening (unless his wife changes her mind) I've got a date with another woman's husband to go to the theatah.

WooHoo!!

Well....all of a sudden, the plans have changed. Yesterday I stopped in my tracks outside one of our local art shops.....there I saw these big series of metal works, meant to be hung against a wall. I bought them immediately, not even knowing if they will lie flat against the siding, if they will completely rust within a month. . . ...

this sounds so neat. can't wait to see a photo

WooHoo!!

It was worth the wait Jess. What fun you'll have.

It's just beautiful here today maybe in the 70's or high 60's for sure.

went and did a garden tour and crocus's, winter acolyte and snow drops are up.

spring is in the air today and it's wonderful

Yes we are.

I was on a road trip with a guy who had goose bowels. It was the looooongest car ride I've ever been on. We had to stop every 1/2 hour or so, with very short notice. I tried to keep reminding myself that however annoying it was to me, it was far more unpleasant for him.

Although it was entirely his fault. (I've had two full pots of coffee, by the way.)

He had disrupted his normal functioning by consuming a 5 pound block of cheese in 3 days, and then tried to remedy the situation by chowing down on most of a bottle of vitamin C (which is a laxative).

He's now an MD in Florida.

I wonder what his position on vitamins is?

He was my study partner in grad school. We both brewed beer at home and on the rare weekend when we didn't have homework or tests we'd consume, oh, quite a bit of beer. He had been a hard core alcoholic in his youth and was still functional around three in the morning after we'd been drinking since 4 that afternoon. Eventually I'd pass out in the cat's water dish, he'd throw a blanket over me and his wife would wake me up in the morning with a cup of coffee.

Great times :unsure:

Well, this eyebrow-raising amount of beer consumption, coupled with his hyper-goose bowel action, does seem to support the celiac suspicion, duddin' it?

Hey all! Just stopped in to brag that it's 70+ partly sunny and I'm playing in the dirt! :D:D:D T-shirt weather for sure! Am draining the pond so I can replace the liner! Really want to do it on the cheap......but that's why it needs replacing this year. Figgered it'd last 3 or 4 years....and probably would have if the deer weren't so thirsty! Been transplanting plants away from the pond....man! Strawberry plants are already greening up. Moved them where I can keep an eye on them better (rabbits seem to like them).

Jess...pretty exciting about the date! Free is GOOD!

Em....can't wait to see your outdoor art! I love to go to art and craft fairs!! It' probably a very good thing that I work most weekends, or I'd be spending a fortune. OR I look at things and say...I can do that! Already have too many projects waiting for me to have time and ambition. Sooo many things I want to do. I need Readers Digest to hurry up and give me my millions!! :lol::lol::lol:

Here's to spring (clink)! Wish this weather would stay until summer :(

Pah-tay...I'm glad you shopped and no "goose bowels"! I seem to have developed a psychological thing with shopping and having to run to the bathroom. I can't seem to go into a Walmart without needing to find "the room" within 10-15 minutes! Maybe I need some hypnosis! :lol:

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
