Holy smoke!

I've been smelling smoke for about an hour, and just went outside and it is really strong out there. There is a four-alarm fire burning about 1.5 miles east of the store. It started about an hour and a half ago.

I is home, well, work, and is really tired.

I met Ken Love!! My first c.com meeting!

He showed me all kinds a cool stuff and weird fruit and parks n' stuff. Awesome day. And he's an amazing cook. Do whatever he says when he talks about recipes.

Went hiking on my last day and got good and burnt. Got home at midnight. Spent lots of time snuggling cats. Got up at 5. Running out of steam.

I'll try to become more human over the next couple days. And put some pics on da book. Just realized that I got none of Ken. :o:huh: I'm such a dork

The news media have some pics of yesterday's big fire. They are striking, so I thought I would share one of them.

The house is in a wooded area at the edge of a valley. Very expensive real estate in this neighbourhood. Ninety firefighters responded and took five hours to put it out.

A rainy morning here in Toronto, but it should clear for this evening.

It messed up traffic in the area pretty badly. The fire broke out just as the afternoon rush was starting, and two major streets were closed to traffic.

Is that the Jillian Michaels? I have the No More Trouble Zones and Boost your Metabolism. They're each about an hour and I'm swearing like a sailor by the end! But she kicks arse like I've never seen. ( much better than those Buns of Steel biotches, or the Dancing Grannies-if you've been watching Ellen

it IS Jillian Michaels - She is.........evil :lol: I have watched Biggest Loser a few times, will pay more attention now. she doesn't seem to be yelling at me too much in the DVD. :lol:

But - ain't no WAY I can do this for 30 days straight - egads - would SURELY suffer serious injury. Was so SORE yesterday, gimping around the office and cackling, could not do the workout.....well - wait, I could have - thought better against it. still VERY sore today, but must get to it!! <askeert>

Hey! Do those Mini Tesco Whores service the Twa?

no, I believe 'tis the Twa who service the Mini Tesco Ho's :lol: As clearly they have vacated Nik's (where is the CHWISTMAS TWEE??????) but...Nik did they help you carve that SPOOOOOOOKY fab pumpkin before they left? love it ;)

You say that now............

Plus it's Friday, in my office, anything goes on Fridays. It usually gets pretty raunchy here with 6 immature men and 1 rummy, sleep deprived, coffee guzzlin lady :P I will also try my very best to stay away from all the Halloween goodies I made yesterday and brought to work ;)

:unsure: um, rah-shelle, are we workin' in the same place? :lol: (no - there's only three guys usually, and moi, and one fab office mascot - The Weezelle :wub: )

...waived my eldest son Daniel off for his weekend in Amsterdam with a group of friends ( )......... he's just phoned, they MISSED their flight

:o yer boy is in Amsterdam? gadzooks *snackle* For the weekend? oh dear...yes, good thing inDEED 'tis not Devil Child going.....

:irritated face:

WHY WHY WHY can't we have as MANY emoticons as we WANT???? :ggrrrrrrrrrrrrr:

Ray-Shall.....looked up yer "boo-boo". 'Twas pseriously NOT a boo-boo. I stopped even reading those posts some time ago. Advice never taken (acknowledged), just the same ol' tiny violin. I have to say....you found a whole group of people supporting your stance and advice....which was wise advice.

yup, what Tea said!

TEA! sounds like you get quite a lot of activity wif yer daily stuff......dang, are you on your pheets all day at work? could NOT do it......back would give out.......

I used to watch . . . had a bad effect on me . . . I always got the munchies and seemed to sit down wif a bag of chips crisps or cookies bisquits whilst watching. Yes, I gained weight while watching The Biggest Loser.

gahhhhhhhhhhh *cackle* :lol:

I met Ken Love!! My first c.com meeting!

Poeter! Amazing photos, so sad. What absolutely GORGEOUS homes, with TREES, lots of big, gorgeous TREES, clearly not CLOVIS <_< Looks like I could be very happy living there. With Twa, of course, to clean and maintain things. ;)

Half our house burned down when I was in fourth grade....was w/ my parents and little brother at some good friends' house for dinner.....knew nothing of it until my brother called us, who just HAPPENED to stop by our house to get something (he was living elsewhere) and rescued my TINY, brand-new pure white kit-ten Puffy and our German Shepherd pup Greta. :) 'Twas surely God's providence. Puff, BTW, spent the night at our -across-the-street neighbors, and when I got him in the morning, he was covered in black soot! :wub:

Pads........are you all done w/ the apartment? and yer jet-set life? How's the house?

Hope Judith is doing well........is she on the road? Heading to Sunny California? B)

what's everyone doing fer halloween? I am having early dinner at PF Chang's w/ a friend from HS who found me on the 'book - second social engagement this week from peeps finding me! So much fun! My friend is 100 percent gluten-free as well (very exciting! she's not celiac but gluten-intolerant) so we are having an early dinner, then I will be home in bed, in the darkened house, avoiding hooligans :lol:

Happy Saturday, Sills! :)

flourgirl Apprentice

We have some guests for the weekend...and we'll all be hiding behind curtains with outside lights off. We don't get trick or treaters here anyway. I think I can feel card games coming on!

Yeah, Psuess, I work on my feets all day. Can't stand the thought of ever having a sit-down job, although there are many days (these days) that I think I SHOULD have. I have always had much more physical jobs than this one. Miss those days of much energy and many muscles!

Pieter...glad the phires were not worse than that! They look bad, tho'.

Welcome home SJgess! What a wonderphul opportunity you've had.

Wicked winds here today..and storms brewing up. Must be Holloweenie!

Soooozle! What a story! Your dog and cat saved by your brother.....providence, fo sho' . .. . .. .... :)

Well, I was in and out of the city administration building in about five minutes. :huh::huh:

No line-up. Filled in the paperwork as I stood there, went ahead in, sat beside a nurse, felt the jab, then left.

People have been lined up by the THOUSANDS the last five days -- waiting times of two to six hours.

:huh:

:unsure:

Was it all a dream?

Incidentally, the first two weeks of shots are to be given only to those with underlying, compromising med. conditions.....I got in with my diabetes. I was curious about the celiac, though, so I asked the nurse if it alone would qualify me, and she immediately said, "Yes. It's autoimmune".

Hmmm. You'd think we'd be lowest priority. Crap, my immune system lets NOTHING past it - - even things it shouldn't destroy! Bits of gluten, beta cells....... Strongest system around, methinks... . . .... ... <_<:rolleyes:

flourgirl Apprentice

Yeah, there's something about the immune system being stuck in overdrive. I don't seem to catch the sicknesses that people are suffering with all around me.....I just feel like krap because of the things the immune system targets that it shouldn't. Kinda like dropping bombs on your own cities. Glad you didn't have to deal with the hours long wait. I am passing on the jab....let someone else have it who may need it more.

other than the prostitutes, this sounds like the making fir a fabulous vaca!! If I wasn't a married old lady with beh-beh's, I'd be seeking out Nik's son and his friends!!! :)

We are off to the mall to trick-or-treat tonight. Too cold and icky, (plus Ann Taylor is having a majah sale!!)

Happy spooky night to y'all and enjoy that extra hour of sleep tonight!!

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac? 
    • Pasballard
      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.
