Does it have a moisture sensor? Maybe it knew the clothes were already dry.

It does have a moisture sensor, but I had it on timed dry for 20 minutes (default) and the door can't open by itself and the dryer won't run if the door is open (I tried ;) my house was built in 1914.... :unsure:

Hey, gang! Getting back into things. . . ..... :) . . ...bit by bit......

Has been mighty quiet 'round here.......Been chortling away at the profanity-ridden civckebs and the mysterious open clothes dryer.. ... :unsure: . . ..

Ra-shyelle, you absolutely have the Twa in your household, I can just feel it. They are tricksters, and would gravitate to your dryer as it lets out such relentless hot air, and these little Burundian people feed off high, sub-Saharan-type heat.

Nik, I've got something to tell you.. ...... . ...that pic is indeed of yer Twa man -- it is him. That is not a generic shot from google images of a Twa in his native Burundi, molding balls of oxen dung into useable dishware, pots, etc.

I took this shot of him outside my back window. He appeared here about a week ago, and has been in my yard ever since. That is Elsie and Gus's dung that he collects and makes into decorative balls -- um, I will NOT be using any of the mixing bowls that he has made me.

Anyways, he has NOT been helpful a 'tall. No gathering up of trash, no raking....don't even know why he came here. He should just get the hell back across the pond, because he won't know what hit him when January rolls around and I hand him my big snow shovel. . . .......

I need some help frpm my psillies to tell me if I'm crazy or just psillie....to give you a little layout of my house-3 levels, bedrooms are on the top floor, main living stuff on the main floor, gym, theater and laundry in the basement-so I finished with Sven at 9, went in to start the dryer to fluff up the clothes that I forgot about, set it, watched it turn on and went into the connecting bathroom to wash up. 5 minutes later, I go back into the laundry room, the dryer is off, the door is open but the clothes are hot, so clearly the dryer was on. Everybody else in my house was asleep!!!!! WTF happened?

Rob's cameo is about 20 minutes in. While the surgeon is in the hospital corridor talking on her cell phone to her FBI agent husband, Rob passes through the background left to right, also talking on a cell phone. It is easy to miss.

There are 17 minutes before the first commercial break (as seen here in the east). The cameo is after that by a couple of minutes.

Thank you!! :lol: I TiVo'd it, so after Grey's Anatomy we can go back and catch him. I knew it was in the hospital hallway, but I still missed it.

Off to FB to read about KitCat's new adventure :D

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Okay went online to check green mountain k cups .It was said that the regular coffees are fine but they couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.with the flavors. im trying to figure out since I eliminated the suyrup so far so good.
