We had an earthquake about 20 minutes ago. Caramel was not impressed. It lasted about 15 seconds.

Is that unusual for your area?

I just saw your comment on da book--I was gonna say that such questions should be between Jacquie and you :P Another of my friends there also mentioned it--she's in NY state.

I saw that and it hadn't made it to the list of recent quakes yet so I thought I misunderstood. Did anything fall off shelves?

Wow.. . . . ..we REALLY felt it. The epicentre was about 40 km north of Cumberland, just within the Quebec border - - I guess about 65 km from Ottawa proper. 5.5 on the Richter scale.

How exciting! Electricity out all over the place... . ..no injuries reported so far.

Hold on to yer hats (and china and valuables placed on high shelves ;) ) Candadia's a shakin'!!

Be careful y'all, stay away from windows and tall trees!

Hey Raech - STILL don't know what Terry's 'ejection fraction' is (*smirk*...after all these years eh? :rolleyes:) ....does that tell you how well his heart is pumping??) - I must ask his doc.

Without furring of the arteries do you see many peeps that have had heart attacks?? :unsure:

Yeah, the EF, or ejection fraction is the percentage that the heart is pumping. ideal values are between 55% and 75%. Below 55% the heart function is impaired and above 75%, the heart is working too hard.

And no, I don't see many people at all who have heart attacks without plaque. Unless he has congenital abnormalies that have caused him to have naturally narrowed arteries, I'm not sure how he would have had multiple attacks... I'd be interested to see the MRI report.

Could not resist picking that part of the sentence out ;)

BUT

WHOA!!!... I didn't know yooz ever get earthquakes :o

Well, I can assume it's below 55% because the doc said it's not pumping hard enough so prescribed an ace inhibitor which he said would help the heart pump stronger.

Ummm - the doc was looking into whether Terry's arthritis drugs might have caused it ....but he's experienced chest pains on and off nearly all his life - so maybe he was born with it :blink:

I'd also like to see the report!!! (and then send it to you as t'would mean nowt to me :rolleyes: )

GAH!!...Terry's health (or lack there of)has always been a mystery!!

OK - gotta pick up Al. He's been on a day trip to France

.....Wonder what old tatt delightful gift he bought with his 10 Euros :unsure::lol:

Earthquakes are not common in these parts, but they do happen from time to time. We were at the store and felt the building shaking. Some merchandise rattled a bit, but nothing fell. Becky slept throught it, but Caramel was thoroughly spooked.

What about Wimbleton? 50 to 50? These guys are playing until one falls and can't get up.

It was stopped at 59 to 59. To be continued for the third day Thursday.

Sounds better than what I could come up with. "Looks pretty and won't rot your guts out". "gluten free goodies". "Psilly Pastries"

"Chic-ee Cakes"

You know people will think your name is Madeleine.

Yeah, I thought of that, but I'm not much more creative than that :rolleyes: . Oh well, it's a beautiful name (if I do say so myself :P) . Not that it matters AT ALL, but both her name and mine are French even though I'm basically 100% Irish/Scot and Jesse is German/English. I wanted poor Max's name to be of Irish origin, but DH didn't like ANY Irish name I liked. He wanted to name him Lucious (Loo-shus), and call him "little Lou" :blink:

Actually, Rey-schell, the boys (M, J & hub) are wondering if you have any new dessert recipes we could try out for you. J prefers chocolate but the rest of us like more flavors. I have 2 cookie recipes they and their friends love. They did like the choc cake very much.

All right.. . . ....I suppose the time is nigh -- I must make my Official Royal Announcement, as various North American news agencies have been postulating, correctly, on the source of the moderate earthquake that struck Eastern Canada yesterday. I will now confirm what is being alleged by the media.... . . ..radio pundits, national newspapers and television news broadcasts north and south of the border.

The earthquake was set off as a celebratory international proclamation. More precisely, it signaled the recognition of me as the reigning monarch of Psillyville for 100 pages. It did NOT directly coincide with the actual phlipover and the sudden descention/takeover, as effects of this nature take some time to orchestrate.

It occurred in Canada, close to Ottawa, as this is where I reside and reign.

It was the most logical natural occurrence to choose - - hail/snow/ice storms are simply not doable at this time of year; we don't have a large enough body of water nearby for a tsunami, and tornados just kind of look too scary, and don't carry the wide expanse of clout that tectonic plates can garner.

I know that you were ALL likely suspecting this, and were politely remaining quiet, waiting for the Official Announcement.

Now I'm just wondering if I should be getting in touch with Enviornment Canada and the American Geological Society..... . . .....they should perhaps be in the know... . . . .

:huh:

:rolleyes:

:lol:

      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.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. 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.
