Well sills, gotta go get my haircut - new, very cute and small salon so close to my house.......thought I'd give it a try.

Got tired of me overgrown locks a while back and took a pair o' scissors to it. Been in a state of limbo tryin to decide what I want done. Curly locks are gone.....need a new perm. How curly?.....How short?........can nae decide. Gotta do sumphim to perk up this old drawn phace.

And, I have very sad news...

I am so sorry to have to announce that...

Tel update:

Still steadfastly refusing to go to the hosp <_< , but swelling has down a tad.

Maybe it has more to do with his arthritis ?? :unsure: ...... he has had to come off all arthritis meds for a month as docs think it maybe is causing low platelets - GAAAWD - he can't even take ibuprofen for the sweeling (stomach ish-yooz :rolleyes: )

Anyhoo - I've given him a deadline of Monday

If he still can't use it by then I will kidnap him & take him to the hosp :lol:

Nik.........if he heard it snap........it's broke, plain and simple. Several years ago I stepped wrong goin down the stairs and heard my foot *snap*. Didn't hurt all that much, but I knew sumphin wasn't right. I broke it but good. Almost had to have pins put in.

Seriously, Nik, make him go to the doctor anyway. That sort of thing can hurt for years after it heals, if it doesn't set properly.

I hear voices like the plant in the little house of horrors...."FEEEEEEED MEEEEEE!"

hee! I can so picture this :lol:

Oooohhhh...........sounds like some big tools, there :P

Love a big tool ;)

Yep, I heard the pop when my toe broke . . . I can now predict the weather wif me toe!!

Ditto. Ran into a chair wif me baby toe and broke it good. I could feel it when it was going to rain for over a year <_<

Tired. Puffy. Bloated. Irritated <_<

My grey hair isn't like just one strand here or there. It seems to be infiltrating my entire left temple and just fading to a blackish-silver :o

Do you know what happens to blondes when they go grey? Their hair looks dirty...all the time.

I have also found some white hairs in me brows and on me chin :angry:

Mimmsy is not pleased <_<

I got my dad's eyebrows, look something like this Open Original Shared Link .

They go grey by growing in brown, then switching to grey, so I've got a grey streak through my brown brow, and a thick brown hair sticking up on top.

Absolutely lovely. <_<

At least we're all getting older together ;)

BTW female pattern baldness is genetic in my family, so I have that to look forward to.

Good lawd, me too <_< Me grandma wore a hairpiece and me mom wears a wig. Yeah--it's that bad. Me youngest sister who's only 45 is thinning out quite a bit already--middle sis has thick hair, and I'm somewhere in the middle although I have roughly half the volume I had at 20. If I can keep what I got, I'll be happy. :rolleyes:

I've been seeing grey/white/silver hairs since my 20's. My dad was salt and pepper in his twenties, so at least I didn't have to deal with that. My sisters all have beautiful hair....dark with the silver sprinkeled in like sparkels or sumfin, then going to the salt n pepper look. Buttt, my hair is not beautiful and I don't really care. Can't decide what to do with it, so it's growing long by default.

Kurley Leezah....I have been cutting my own for years. When I have gone somewhere to have it done...I inevitably end up coming home and "fixing" it anyway (with scissors). My telehubby loves white hair...always pointing out women who have beautiful white locks......there's hope for me yet!

Day started out sunny....now very dark and gloomy.....the bad part is the cold wind! It's summer, for crying out loud....whats with the *%&@!! KOLD!!! Can't deal with this.....but I need to go outside to play anyway. Will I be the only person in the county, state, country wearing a heavy sweatshirt today? :ph34r: Probably.

Leezah! SOOO glad to see you here. Hope things get better for you...soon. BTW.....telehubby had taken a year of retirement before we moved here. Was home aaalllll the time. We both just did whatever.....didn't worry about what the other was doing. We planned our together time...otherwise our time was our own, to do as we pleased/needed/whatever. Maybe you just need a plan and take control of your own time. It's not that you don't love yer hubby.....you just need your own space (don't we all?)

Keep it shiny.....

Gosh, this quiet here today.

After a miserable, wet, rainy, wet, soggy, wet, day yesterday, today is warm (but not hot) and sunny.

=^..^=

I'm working a rare Sunday at the shop. I think it has been a year since that last happened.

Unless something unexpected happens, City of Toronto civic workers employees will go on strike in less than 11 hours. Those at the liquor store have two more days before they walk out. I stocked up yesterday. ;)

Hi Linnie--allow me to welcome you into sillieville, old and decrepit though I may be :P

Best thing to do is jump right in--don't try to "go back", people have been known to get lost that way :lol: Susie--who you will meet soon--would have to send the Dingos out to find you....and well.....best to avoid that ;)

Enjoy yerselph.....oh--we tend to spell pho-net-ic-ly. No idea why. One more thing--Emily is harmless. :)

Darn it all, I just did a long poop-in and pooped it up. Poopy cow!

Part Drei:

Anyway, part of what I was saying before, I think, :unsure: was that...

Dis place is overflowing with wine (or whine), peaches and nectarines, strawberries and melons (wot, no cherries??) phleazy or non-phleazy kittehs, grey hair, permed hair, butchered hair, red hair and white, greysilver hair, phrizzy hair, hairless heads and hamster brows.

It is full of weather that is too hot, cold, dry, wet, gloomy, windy, thunderous or humid, but nevah just right.

On the other hand, it also contains beauteous posts from Theresa and Patti--good advice from T and yearning from PadT (although I do think I would look a bit ridiculous up a tree reading a book (my recliner suits me better :P ) and it is hard to find some lush lonely grass in which to lie and daydream. Still, it is the spirit of the thing she was referring to after all, because I think we all basically remain children all our lives, certainly not that hag that peers at us out of the mirror :o Can't wait for the weather (sigh, here we go again) to warm up so I can take my book and chair down to the beach.

Tel's wrist may or may not be broken (hope we hear soon). I once was sure I had broken my ankle it snapped so loudly when I was running like a free spirit (trying to follow PadT's advice :lol: ) down a hill., (yeah, this was a few years ago :o ). But I plunged it in a stream running straight off a glacier until just before frostbite, wrapped an ace bandage on it, and a week later we walked the Milford Track. Of course I sprained it again real good when we were over the summit and coming down the other side, and it's never been the same since, but then again it wasn't much good before that. Haha.

Can't remember what else I said; problly wasn't worth reading anyways. Hope this feeble attempt makes up for the too-quick poop-in the other day. Still looking for me psilly--where can it be??? :unsure:

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

Padt, would you stop telling people Em is harmless? You're gonna damage her reputation.....

:D :D :D

I'm off to bed (yes, at 7:30pm), le boyfriend gets up at 2am on Mondays. I get an extra hour of sleep, ZERO griping here!!!! G'mite.

Oh yeah! Chugging her wine before the liquor worker employee strike.

sounds like a good plan, even without the strike.

Some day I'll day you my story of spending the night with German lesbians while stuck in Bologna during an Italian train strike.

True dat! Tis the weekend, so it's quieter than usual. Poop in during the week ;)

OMG--what a great rundown of the sillieville musings of late! :D I now read in a chair too, Shroomie--many things that worked at 10 don't seem to work now :lol: Hope yer sillie reappears :)

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

And that's just the sort of thing we admire here :P

Mite, Bunnie. -_-

I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but she was heading for the Toronto Islands. You can only get there by boat, and the ferry is going on strike in 3 hours along with the rest of the city staff. There are private water taxis.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
