The spruce is spectacular, different and amusing; and dad loved crabapple trees.

Either will be poifect. :)

Emily, I lurve the idea of the weeping crabapple. No reason in particular, only that they are so pretty in the spring--joyous and colorful, a fitting tribute :)

today my mouth still hurts and it feels like the skin is burned......lovely!

Sheesh! How are feeling now? Sounds like you had a scary night, poor thing :(

Nikki! How is Tel feeling? (snicker) You gots to watch that cider--much more potent than, say, lemonade :rolleyes:

How about no undies?

I vote weeping crab.

I never knew a peach could do that! You poor thing.

I now know why I've turned into a Blue Sue. My DH ( and that doesn't stand for dear) has been a blastard since he quit smoking last Sun. I've been tiptoeing around and he's been blowing up about every little thing. I thaught by now, he'd settle down, but last night he was HORRIBLE! I fixed a nice steak dinner and after he literally exploded Into some kind of extreme rage over nothing that ended with him telling me to leave. Yeh, like that's going to happen. So, I woke up this am all sad and depressed thinking about where to go and not wanting to bring you all down but then thaught I'm not going to let him get me down. Got to find my cilli.

I think my anti-thong fellings stem from Jeolosy. I lost so much wieght last year that I no longer have an ass, and when I look at young gils with there thongs exposed and there asses hanging out, I get just plain jelous. I am an assless wonder!

I'm not going to can pumpkin if I'm not going to live here.

Pumpkin. Now that's a phunny word. How 'bout our poet lariot tackle dat one?

Em--I'll be thinking of you all on Sunday. I think either tree you decide upon will be very fitting.

Off to get me hair cut......

Mornin! (or mmmmblemmm, depending on the type of household you have). So much to comment on/reply to. I just know I'm gonna forget somethin impo'tent.

Em-N-Em phirst......my vote is for the weeping crab!!! Acktully kinda phunny....in that....tis a tree so beautiful, so joyful in flower, has to be laughing with spring, not weepy or crabby, and inspires happiness, not tears or crabbiness. Seems poifect to me!

Thongs! Igggh! I had never heard of them until my middle age (now, THAT seems phunny to me...I coit-nly don't pheel middle-ages.....(wasn't that bephore the renne-sansce?). Any wayz...I did try them....still have a couple pair...they still look brand new because I can't bear them. They make me pheel all too conscious of an area I'd rather not be conscious of, thank you very much.

Porr bluezy Psuezzies! Wish I could help cheer youse all up! Psuessle.....I vote yes on the Psilly Psummit at the expense of someone who apparently would not miss the cash! You could tell her that we are the entertainment portion for the gathering! Does she have a private jet that can make the rounds to pick us all up? We could be getting all wound up together on the way there! :lol:

Glad to hear Max is doing all right. YOu have to be so careful with people medicines given to pets.

Amanda.....man o-man! Sounds like a scare incident! My son loved fruit when he was little....but I had to peel EVERYTHING! The skins would do to him what the peach did to you. He would start out with his little mouth pheeling itchy and strange, then the welts. I thought it was odd that he could eat the insides but not the skins. He had a thing about textures too. Wouldn't eat beans or peas or anything with that "mealy" pheel, or rubbery textures (apple skins). Anyhow, I hope you pheel better by now.

Heyyy Juuuude.....hope you are hangin in there all right....and that you turn that Birch in to her superiors at least, if not in a letter to the editor for the whole community to hear about. She should not be doing business! Of course, you may want to wait until all of your issues are settled (and perhaps after you've moved) to write this :ph34r:

Can't think what else.....oh well, missed opportunities and all of that. Later...

The crab tree would give him is opportunity to be crabby, something he never got the chance to do while he was making you all laugh :)

I like the crab apple tree too! Either way, hang in there this weekend. We'll be thinking of you :wub: :wub: and how special your dad was.

Psillies, I have a disease that normal people get!!!!!!!! I have strep throat- :wacko: :wacko: I never get real diseases- very strange. Must be my body's rebellion against the lack of antibiotics these few months. When the nurse asked me if I had been on antibiotics recently, I burst out laughing and told her to find one I hadn't been on- she actually did.

This strep throat thing is very strange. I must eat ice cream all day :D :D And take extra naps!

I was afraid that this would happen. All the talk of pole-dancing and thongs - it was only a matter of time before someone got strip throat. But, I'm surprized at the advice to eat ice cream. Shouldn't a stripper eat something a little more "figger friendly"? (Do hope you feel better)

Anyone with a wierd physical thing? I've got one. It's called Aidies Syndrome (not to confused with aids) It's pronounced long adeez, and named for the doc who discovered it. It's manifestations are

1. My right pupil does not dilate.

2. I have no reflexes in my elbows or knees (told you I had no funny-bone).

It's fun with docs, who never believe me and keep pounding away with thier little hammers till I'm black and blue and then finally get it. Or, at parties. And, in dim light, my left pupil is large and the right is very small. I can always tell the exact second someone notices that. Children are

God, I miss Sam Hill Manhead. He is no longer in my life, as is John. It was not an eyeball problem, or a computwer illiteracy problem, but, it was an extreme attempt to gain attention. I thaught if I posted once, no one would listen, but if I posted twice, THE WHOLE WORLD WOUD BE WATCHING! God, I am such a child of the 60's! I didn't make it to Woodstock or the Chicago National Convention, but in my heart, I was there. And , in my heart, I'm here. Now, that's scary!

Suzie- Can you arrange that limo ride? It's only 2000 miles (maybe 3), but I promise not to sh.. in the limo. And, your friend is rich - she can afford to clean up after me! And a bunch of others.

My rock garden is where my parents and sister are "buried". They all chose to give thier bodies to science, so there is no graveyard to say goodbye to. So, for each one, I planted a large rock and an evergreen plant. In good weather, I say goodby everyday- in the winter, not so much.

I know I'm getting mauldlin and depressing, so I'll try to lighten up.

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.
    • Scott Adams
      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
