Lord, I have all this to look forward to with Jack.... .:unsure: . ....actually, there will be no car parts strewn about with him. ... . . ..I'll be seeing model pieces, papers on various theses, scribblings on life... . .... .and these things can take up nearly as much space, so I won't be getting off easy, to be sure. BUT -- no epoxy paint smell. 'Tis good. .. . ....

On the outside picnic table 'round here there are no freshly-painted vehicle parts, as my seventeen year-old is a girl. There's a big, portable mirror, hair straightener and blow dryer, eyeliners and hair elastics, nail polish.... . . . . ..guess it was a kind of outdoor salon-type setting yesterday. . . . ....

:rolleyes:

Patti - did your boys do this, too? So many of his friends have no idea how to do anything on their car or change a spark plug on a lawn mower (probably because the Dads or Moms don't either).

Oh yes. The main reason JP moved into his own house at 24 was because he needed more room for "car stupf"....Matt was also at the age where he was getting into it.....add in Mark's car nuttiness....and our 2 car garage/short driveway wasn't cutting it.

All my guys know their way around the inside of autos--Matt actually went to school for it and has a specialized Associate Degree in auto tech and has many additional certifications. He was recruited while still in school to apprentice part time at a major PA dealership until he graduated. He's still there after 5 years :D

He has already restored a 1963 Corvair and his current project is a 1958 Plymouth convertible.

Hub has a Miata he works on and adds to - my parents order special parts for him for Xmas like red hoses. He is thinking about a piece of land 1 hour south of here because it has a large heated & air conditioned garage and is next to a lake. May never see him again. ;)

J went last summer to a friend who is a professional car painter (paints only the expensive specialty cars). He taught him how to paint his truck's bed cover. Said if the college thing doesn't work out, he would take him as an apprentice.

Man, I want a husband/son like this!! How phabulous to have a guy around who can change yer spark plugs/oil, flush yer radiator, replace lights and sensors.. . . ..... .

The guys around here can do garbage, walk dogs and clean kitchens quite passably. Oh, of course, and posit fascinating questions to ponder, inform me about the highest altitude on earth, the age Van Gogh was when he succumbed, whether or not turtles are amphibians or reptiles.... .. . . .these are all good things.

But I'll ALWAYS be takin' my car to the shop. .... . . . .$$$$$.. . ....<_<:rolleyes:

Yo no hablo espanol, pero, en la escuela secundaria he estudiado. Me permito recordar algunas.

abre la puerta

cerra la boca

da me una cerveza

which I think translates into: open the door, close your mouth, get me a beer.

that should get me pretty far.

I'll be going the end of August and plan to do barcelona, the southern towns, and Madrid. I may add some northern stuff, or just save that for later, depending on my mood.

Well, after two very hot and muggy days, today was pleasant. I am writing this sitting out on the deck at almost 10 pm. The sun set just over an hour ago, but the temperature is still around 20C and the humidity is just 33%. No insects either. :)

FlashForward ended last night. :(

Rob announced today that HBO has acquired the rights to "Illegal Alien" for a possible mini-series, of which he would be an executive producer. :)

What does an executive producer do, anyway? Does he produce executives? :huh:

Jess is going to Spain! :)

I think ABC goophed big time by not running all of the episodes at one clip. It's hard for people to get back into something after having it gone for months. It worked for Lost, but only after it had been on for several seasons.

I'm glad he has another TV project in the works :)

If you want, I work with a few Puerto Ricans, and I can ask them for some basic stuff. But Rican isn't really always the same as Spanish.....

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
