....managed to escape relatively unscathed ;)

Tel about to fall asleep after too many ciders :wacko: (he'd come on here and post but it ain't 'drunk Friday' :lol: )

The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Tis a loverly afternoon here. It's sunny and 27oC (80oF), and we are sitting out on the deck munching nachos & cheese.

The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Wow, how quickly this spring weather changes, huh? I think you are now getting the storm system that passed through here earlier...it was 70 mile an hour winds, heavy rain, and hail a few hours ago. Run for cover, Peter!

Just got home from work. You would think that I'd had enough typing and computers whilst there, but nae--came home and logged right in :P I worked on an Excel spreadsheet all day to get our receivables more organised...blah, blah, blah. So boring, I'm putting MYSELF to sleep.

Your weather is coming here late tonight, POeter....we are supposed to get thunderstorms after midnight. We'll be hearing the cracking and rushing wind in the wee hours. . . . ... :)

Prufrock--Poppycock!!

And I have known the arms already, known them all

Arms that are white and braceleted and bare,

[but in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]

Hey! I do believe Eliot, in his very masterpiece, has spoken subtly of our Soooozle!

:lol:

Cheer me up?

Raechull! Sorry to hear you is down. . . . .....All right, so yesterday, when I was waiting with my dad at the hospital, after we'd been sitting for a while he suddenly said, "Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories". . . ......

:huh:

:lol:

Now, if he'd mentioned chin hair... :rolleyes:

Good joke from yer Pa. My friend's dad used to say, "It's rainin' cats and dogs--I just stepped in a poodle"

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

If you want to know why I'm down, it's this grand Michigan living. Every day I talk to people who have lost their jobs, their homes are in foreclosure, they are on food stamps, or unemployment. Or worse--they have a job that only pays about $8 an hour (me, for one). These are highly skilled workers, professionals, people with college degrees and families (including me). I try to help if I can, but that's not saying a lot. There's just not much beyond a kind word and a coupon, and some volunteering, that I can do--if Chrysler goes under, it's curtains around here.

So, I smile for people, try not become murderous when they push too hard, and pretty much find the humor in it. But, somedays are diamonds, some days are coal.

Well, that and, I'm PMSing. And the rats are gnawing on me tendons again.

Alright, enough. Whoa is we, blah, blah, blah--yaddah freakin yaddah.

How is Judy doing with the porch?

How is Suze doing with the post brandied cloves hangover? Sleep well, darlin?

How is Patty doin with the cheese? You must be beyond thrilled. Hats off to you for your commitment all these years to eating for your health. You are an inspiration!

Actually, all of you are--to me. I mean that :wub:

Peter, hope you have a sump pump and an umbrella.

Bev, wishing you big blue butterflies of happiness this May!

Emily, you make me aspire to write well again.

It's a really scary time..... . .. .. :( . . .. . .....especially in the auto industry. Thinking about you guys, Raechull.....Up here, Windsor has been devastated by the recession/depression. So many young families suddenly wondering how they are going to keep their houses, get their groceries....

Gah. Need to call my dad and tell him to make me larf. . . . ....

Ah...from "Rainy Days and Mondays". :rolleyes: Nuttin like The Carpenters when you pheel down.

Just got caught up.....Em--I did wonder about yer dad since I thought his surgery was to be done this appointment. Glad all is well and he's set to go in and have it taken care of. :)

My sympathies, Minimom :( The economy has been rough, and no place knows that better than where you are.

Judith got the paintin' done!! Hopefully you can just sit tomorrow and look at what a phine job you did :D

Has Soozle checked in? :unsure:

We took a lil ride this afternoon--went in a different direction in an effort to get familiar wif this huge place. Warm and humid--hair is gigantic :lol: It was sunny and sprinkling earlier--I looked fer a rainbow, but couldn't see one.

Stay dry, PeOter--and you guys too later, Emmel.

Had wine wif dinner--just one glass, though B)

Yeah.....before our.....what do I call it?.........nightmare?..........we were discussing how were we going to make it thru this summer. Brian's company supplies bearings to the auto industry and his job has had many cutbacks. It's been harder and harder for us to keep afloat. It's rather ironic that we may come out ahead after all is said and done.

Brian has a dismemberment clause on his life insurance, and when he told me how much they'll be paying us for his leg, I said, "Gee....I wonder how much they'd pay for the rest of you!" :P

Nice!......My DD bought one on e-bay several years ago. I once had a hearing-impaired student who was in orchestra...middle school....so I borrowed the violin and learned right along with him. Probably forgot most of it by now.

Do you play?

figured I had to start somewhere, and getting the instrument itself seemed like a good place

      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.

      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.
