Richard, can you swing anything, here?

Sorry, I don't do emoticons. I will, however put Susie's party back up. :)

Why . . . that's a lovely party, Susie.

However, Julie and Carrot Top (and you, of course) are the only ones I can tell for sure who they are . . . Who's the guy with the big thumb and the guy with his pants undone?

<embarassed> This isn't Susan, it's Richard

The guy with the big thumb is the newest presidential candidate - Open Original Shared Link

The shirtless wonder is Matthew McConaughy (per Susan's request). I couldn't find a picture of him where sushi was being served off his abs, so that had to suffice. :huh:

Yes, but it's Susie's party isn't it? :lol::lol:

Actually, I fell into the same trap as some of the others . . . must read names, must read names, pictures mean nothing, pictures mean nothing

Ahhhhh, so it is. No trouble finding a photo of him shirtless, I take it.

Terribly sorry that I didn't recognize Stephen Colbert. I wasn't expecting to see him today.

....hmmmmm...define "work". I did spend a whole hour away from my computer (and you lunatics).

I do manage to squeeze in a few productive moments during my workday. The truth is I work in a college financial aid office, and my workload is intense at times and negligible at others. Right now happens to be a slow period. If you recall you didn't see much of me for about 6 mos. I changed positions and had to do a ton of training to get up to speed for "opening" and the start of classes. Mid-semester is traditionally slow. I'll start to flake out come december. :) That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

(I did do some work related activities today B) )

Ok I sent Susan the avatar, so to avoid further confusion I will change things up and take my leave for the day.

Behave yourselves tonight ;)

That shirtless wonder is not Matthew McConnaughy. It's my father. He was portraying M.M. in a skit recently about Hollywood sex symbols. Not a bad makeup department, huh?

That's neat. I think I have really got to know you in this thread in the past few days. I work all day in a hospital, where I do Clinical Trials with Cancer Patients. It has its days. I used to work as a lab tech processing bloodwork in the lab....those were crazy days too.

All this talk of work....I need a REAL job, harrumphFFFFFFFFFF :angry:

I am missing my jewelry deadline. another harrumph. :( At least it was a deadline I imposed on myself (mom doesn't care, it was MY idea for her to wear a fine necklace for an important event today. Boo)

Now going to run the dingos, see if I can find my mojo, or any stragglers from our parade, in the orchard.

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard, do they look at your search history at work?

I can't imagine what they'll think when they find Chuck Norris, Mathew McConaughy, Care Bears, Gene Simmons, Yeti.........

If you recall you didn't see much of me for about 6 mos

Great to have you back! I disappeared for about 8 months and it's like I never left..........weird how that happens, this is a strange vortex indeed.

So happy to be at your party Susie Q! Are we going to have to fight over who gets Carrot Top? :lol::lol:

Yep, you guessed it.....

That was my dad...again...playing M.M. I know, it's quite incredible. He'd be in wardrobe and makeup for three hours.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      It’s understandable to want to be cautious, especially after experiencing symptoms. However, there is currently no scientific evidence that reverse osmosis or standard activated carbon water filters expose people to gluten in amounts that would trigger celiac disease.

      9 y/o Son Diagnosed with Celiac Disease; Persistent Symptoms: Does this Sound Familiar?

      It sounds like you’ve put a lot of effort into tracking patterns, and that kind of awareness can be helpful. With celiac disease specifically, though, the only confirmed immune trigger is gluten. Reactions to dairy are common after diagnosis because intestinal damage can temporarily reduce lactase, leading to lactose intolerance — but that’s different from ...

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Library paste and paper mache.  I have in passing read of wheat based glue used to glue fish tank filters together so it is not surprising they might be in refridgerator filters. Seems the issue with bottled water would be at the personal filters rather than the mass filtering.  Just have to boycott the brands that effect you.  Gatorade drinks all have either gums, modified starches or stevia that might be affecting you.  Looking for energy or hydration try Red Bull.  It has the vitamins, minerals, antioxidant Taurine, sugar and glucose to process the sugar from mouth to ATP and clean up. Taurine is essential for protecting mitochondria from damage, such as from reactive oxygen species (ROS) or calcium overload. If you are exclusively drinking bottled water you may want to consider taking Lithium Orotate 5 mg.  We need about 1 mg a day of Lithium and mostly it is gotten from ground water.  Lithium deficiency can cause anxiety and suicide.  I find it helpful.

There really should not be any organic molecules in  such a bottle. I seen a thread where it was mentioned that his refrigerator water filter tested positive for gluten when he had it checked. If I went to physician to get checked for other possible triggers from a water bottle, I don’t think that will go anywhere. Again, distilled water containers cause no reactions. I’m not an industry expert, but something is there.  I don’t think that this is a case of microplastics causing this. Too bad we can’t call upon some third party investigation.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s understandable to want to be cautious, especially after experiencing symptoms. However, there is currently no scientific evidence that reverse osmosis or standard activated carbon water filters expose people to gluten in amounts that would trigger celiac disease. Gluten is a protein, and if any starch-based binder were used in filter manufacturing, it would not pass through RO membranes or remain in finished bottled water at clinically meaningful levels. Plain water — filtered, RO, or bottled — does not contain gluten unless it is intentionally added (which would require labeling). Steam-distilled water is certainly safe, but it is not considered medically necessary for people with celiac disease. If reactions are occurring, it may be helpful to explore other potential explanations with a healthcare provider rather than assuming filter-related gluten exposure.

      It’s understandable to look for bigger explanations when you’re dealing with complex symptoms, but the current scientific consensus does not support the idea that celiac disease evolved as a defense against Candida. Celiac disease is a well-characterized autoimmune condition triggered specifically by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals (HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8). While some laboratory studies have shown that certain Candida proteins (like Hwp1) share limited sequence similarities with gluten or tissue transglutaminase (tTG), that does not mean Candida causes celiac disease or commonly produces false-positive tTG tests in clinical practice. Anti-tTG IgA remains a highly specific and validated marker for celiac when used appropriately (especially alongside total IgA testing and, when indicated, biopsy). IgG antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ASCA) are more commonly associated with Crohn’s disease and are not considered diagnostic for celiac. There is ongoing research into microbiome interactions and immune cross-reactivity, but at this time there is no evidence that yeast exposure from foods triggers celiac autoimmunity in people without gluten exposure. If symptoms persist despite a strict gluten-free diet, it’s best to work with a gastroenterologist to rule out other conditions such as IBD, SIBO, non-celiac food intolerances, or refractory celiac disease rather than assuming a fungal-driven mechanism.

With celiac disease specifically, though, the only confirmed immune trigger is gluten. Reactions to dairy are common after diagnosis because intestinal damage can temporarily reduce lactase, leading to lactose intolerance — but that’s different from casein sensitivity. IgG food panels, including yeast, are generally considered markers of exposure rather than proof of clinical intolerance. Aged cheeses like Irish cheddar are typically gluten-free, though they do contain casein and natural cultures. If symptoms are strong and repeatable, it may be worth working with a gastroenterologist or allergist to sort out true allergies, intolerances, or other GI conditions rather than assuming multiple cross-reactive immune triggers.
