Oh, I wish. . . . .....not great things today, I am afraid. :( Overnight my dad has fallen worse - -they are suspecting that he may have had a small stroke. When I saw him today he was sleeping the whole time, and has apparently been doing so since they tried to rouse him early this morning. So, they are calling with updates.... . . . . ..

Tareeeesuh, why don't you name your li'l wee one Leslie? :huh:B) 'Tis my dad's name. I actually am kidding, but when I was reading your attempts at finding a name, I of course kept thinking of him, and suddenly remembered that his name is good for male or female creatures. .. .....

Sunny is lovely.

Man, we have to meet. Just reading Rayechull's fab, uplifting post, and thinking about how you guys have become such close friends, I suddenly feel a surge of urgency, of a real want like never before to congregate with you all, somewhere, somehow. A lot of this is coming from my sadness re. Dad, but nonetheless I've realized how you have all become a real part of my life. . . . .....incredible. You were the first people, after my immediate family, whom I went to and spilled about my dad.

Thanks for being here, you hilarious, wonderful lot. :wub::wub:

Jyess, you need to tell yer boss to p!ss off.

Sorry, I'm just takin' no prisoners right now. . . .. . . .

Emily, dear Em. My heart is full of love for you and yours. You are such an EXCEPTIONAL human being, come from excellent stock! You are your father's daughter, as far as I can see, and he is such a joy to this planet. My deepest wishes for a quick recovery and years of loving family time together. No matter what the need, we are here for you. <<<<hug>>>>

Yes, we MUST find a way to meet, if only for a one nighter. I am ready to credit card the expense--any one else? If the gorillas can do it every year, then surely we can do it once, eh folks?

It is ironic and heartening how a sudden intense realization can come from adversity, and for us to have found one another in this big world is nothing short of miraculous. We should honor the friendships created here by sharing the joy face to face.

And get really rip roaring drunk, too ;)

:o :o :o Mimsy's proposing we all have a one night stand!!

I'm in for that, too.

Just watched Mama Mia. Very fun.

But also a bit worried about Lyle. He's limping badly and sleeping under the bed. I think it's an abscess. I'll keep him locked in tonight and see how it is in the morning. Not looking forward to a trip to the emergency vet (many $$$), but also don't want a cat with a bad owie. :(

and LOVE the squirrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <weezee said to tell you that>

and that wicked dog from next door PEED on the skirt (flange?) of my sofa *gasp*

Suze--are you back amongst your peeps, in full online text mode?

Flying octopii are a normal function of daily life during hockey season in Detroit. Some years ago some idiots got the great idea to throw dead octopiii on the ice during the Red Wings games, and it took like flies to sh..it. Now everybody walks around with octopii hats and the seafood stores sell out. :blink:

I can't believe your neihbor's dog peed on yer sofa. WTH? *giggle*

Brownie in a cup?! And wine at the grocery store?! (incredulous)

All I got at Kroger was a $256.00 grocery bill, and a spilled bag of fresh Lorraine cheese (on raw pork chops) and a puctured Yoplait yogurt to boot. (dang boot sale food market :angry: )

There are no typos when you're drinking. Not YOUR fault they didn't decide to spell the word correctly before it got to you.

A one night stand, eh? Crikey, I can nae remember...been married nearly 16 years <<haloshining>>

Sorry bout your kitty :( Max had to got to the vet today. He has a cough. But the weird thing is, so does Buttercup. Vet said the dog likely has an upper respiratory infection and that cats and dogs can't cross contaminate each other. :huh::unsure: Don't know what's going on around here, but this morning it sounded like our pets had been smoking my cigs all night...hack-hack

....and Jess should know :lol: :lol:

I'm all fer the meet-up. I'd pseriously love nothing more than to meet all youse in person. I met Em last summer, and it was the high point of the whole year. :D

In approximately 4 to 5 months, when me house is done, youse are all welcome. There will be lots of room--we'll cram as many of us in there as can make it. Gawd, I'd love that :wub:

On second thought, if need be, we'll ship Mark off to a hotel to make more room :lol: :lol: Just kidding--he wouldn't miss it.

CRAP! I just remembered my parents are there, too. (long story, that. I will e-mail a recap of the latest events leading to this relocation. They were actually s'posed to stay with me all summer. ISSUES!)

I haven't told you guys my latest. I made a very tough and scary choice this week to leave my job at UPS for the summer, because I have noone to care for my 9 year old daughter while I work (see above). It only pays $8.50/hour and I can't pay a sitter $6.00 of that and cover the gas to get there--a 15 mile drive. I will not work for free :angry: I still have the other job (hate, shame) but that is another bag of beans in itself.

Poverty sucks!

I'll tell ya the squoil stroty - which is not mine.

Friend's hibyy is out of work (drat this economy). He's made himself a goal of finding a bird feeder that will defetat the squirrles. He found a ball that he's suspend at the ebd of a long piece of pvc piping (slippery) and down a long cord. The aquirrels atre supp9osrefdd to not be able to make it out to the ball, and even if they do, ball's suppoissed to be too slippery for their little toes to grasp. A few days ago she sent out pictures of THJIS SQUIRREL inside the ball merrily minching away at his new treats.

      Responding to both of your replies: thank you so much!! That makes a lot of sense and helps me feel better about it - I really appreciate the clarification and recommendations. You guys have been very helpful and this site is a gift. Thanks again! 
    • trents
      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.  
    • trents
      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.   
    • somethinglikeolivia
      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!
    • Scott Adams
      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
