Some may not know that's me 'ometown. Been gone a long long time tho.

I've read of VERY high acclaim for some gluten-free restaurants. Couple threads here, right?

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.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
