Just got back from our July 4 fireworks on the 5th. I smell like smoke, my van is covered in ash, ears are ringing & blinded by the bright fireworks. It was a great show! Boys shot of their fireworks, too. Fingers and other body parts intact.

Hope all today's travelers stay safe.

I'm gonna try to do two, maybe three more bags of mortar today. Stirring it is like stirring sticky rice - in 25 pound batches. Think I'm gonna weigh out 10 pound increments and just stop more often to mix more.

While the whole process is 'easy', I did not appreciate the sheer physical labor involved. I will literally have shifted nearly 1000 pounds by the time this is done, and that doesn't include getting said 1000 pounds into my house in the first place. I still have homework to do so I won't be working til the wee hours to finish (even if I could).

Jess, I think it's very wise to keep the batches to a reasonable amount. I think it's so cool that you are doing the tile yourself--I know it's going to turn out phab :D

Pserously, pics when it's all done and you've had a chance to rest up ;)

We're on a Starbuck's break somewhere near Tuscaloosa Alabama. Wanted to wish Em and Leesuigh a great mini summit--I know you'll have a great time since I've had the honoUr of meeting the both of youse :wub:

Leesuigh--take care of yer arm, sweetie. Hope yer not too awful sore.

Talk to ya'll later :D

Tis hot here. Things should be colling off a bit now that it is evening. Gonna fire up the barbcue on the deck to make food in a while.

When you guys are all in Chicago, you could go looking for my roots. About sixty years ago, two graduate students were both living at International House at the University of Chicago. Both were from out-of-state. They married in 1952 and have three sons. ;)

<yawn> Just about to hit the sack in Roanoke, VA. This was the long day--tomorrow's drive should be much shorter.

Hope Jess is getting some well-deserved rest right about now.....

Seems like it's hot just about everywhere! Matt called and said the thermometer at his work read 105 this afternoon. It's been well into the 90's all through the trip so far. Phunny thing--I swear the sun is hotter in Texas because it was 97 at one point when we stopped to get gas, and it didn't seem all that bad. :huh: I really think I've built up a tolerance to it....

The Chicago Summit!!!!! Warms the cockles of me'eart when sillies get together :D

If you worked your muscles really hard,and they are sore, they are holding water (swollen, just like anything else that hurts). When they heal (2-3 days) they'll shrink down. Spend another week working really hard and then weigh in.

Roda! :lol: :lol:

When Patti mentioned checking in at the coffee house I had a vision of her and Mark, sitting down to coffee just like any couple that's been married forever, and Patti opening the laptop as if she were getting ready to read a batch of postcards from distant friends. She browses through the pages, occasionally mentioning something to Mark that she thinks might be interesting "hmmm, Jess is tiling her floor today. And Nikki didn't punch anyone.", and Mark grunting in feigned response the way men do when they're trying to their part in the conversation, but they really want to just read the paper.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
