All hail the Angelic Millennial Monarch!

I'd bow, but I'd probably fall over :P

Late meeting last night (OK, it ended up in the bar....).

The city's (BI, not Seattle) cultural art budget is expected to be cut by 75%. And we, the theater group, get a chunk of money from them every year. Much smaller chunk this year. We need to figure out how to make up the shortfall. And the city's vote isn't finalized, and the city itself is $3million in debt, so it's not unthinkable that we'd get none. :angry: Stupid economy.

Patti, honey, can you just fix all this? We could compile a list for you...

A new day, a new millenium, a new Queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

yes, loaves of crutch-tip bread all around, pleez :P

(um, I think that NO ONE would be able to figure out what that thing is next to the bricks without explanation. They are NOT thinking that it's crutch-tip shaped bread, because, they just don't know what in hell it is and can nae remotely fathom it :huh: ) :lol:

Ohhhhhhhhh I am so tired. I seem to have drug-resistant insomnia........am just babbling on and don't know what I"m saying........ :wacko:

But - WHO IS OSCAR???????????? HOW DOES PATTI KNOW??????????????????????

:blink:

can't stand it..........

BTW I tried to be so stealth with Weezel last night, waiting in the wings......but, kept having trouble accessing the new account......every time I would try to post an av, it kept telling me I didn't have access to that feature..... Kept frantically tying to log on anonymously......was not allowed........

couldn't do anything, in fact, and I was really feeling that I was being discriminated against, fer being a dawd and all :blink:

so finally went to the link sent to Weezee's new email address :lol: again, clicked on the CORRECT link......but then I wasn't even signed in anonymously, so Padt knew I she was here

ruined the surprise it did, mommy's incompetence :lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Time for the Silly-gross out story of the year---

We work in an office of 19. We all bring in treats from time to time- baked goods and such. Most of the baked goods I obviously cannot partake in which is fine- I do bake and bring in stuff that is gluten-free. Sometimes I am envious the stuff looks so good--A few weeks ago I found out something that makes me glad I can't eat it. One of our coworkers does not wash their hands in the bathroom after going.....and this includes both types of visits *shudders* There are a select few that know about this now and we inform each other of who brings in what. This morning an apple pie arrives and it looks so gross--I have seen store bought pies look better---turns out Dirty woman baked it....

The woman next to me is in the loop and so she refrains from the treats- she looks at me and says how about some pie...and I look at her funny. Turns out she was pretending to scratch her behind as she asked me....

Then at lunch time John and I were sitting on a couch outside the bathroom--The baker of the pie comes down the hall and goes into the bathroom....was in there a few minutes doing her duty...and then the toliet flushes and she came right out. John looks at me and says I didn't hear the water run. I then explained why I told him he was not allowed any pie when he had been in my office. He had spotted it and asked to have some and I told him there was only enough for the office....He almost died of grossness.

You know several of us have caught her red or shall I say dirty handed in the bathroom. She has not gotten the hint yet. How gross can ya be????

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
    • trents
      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
