Here's someone with their priorities straight. There have been more than 300 aftershocks from the quake, many above 5.0, and continuing:

One resident, Moata Tamaira, said she had "just moved the booze to within reach of the doorframe. Priorities."

If you must sit in the doorframe, you should have your favorite drink.

Did you know that a doorframe is about the most dangerous place to situate yourself during an earthquake? Apparently, you wanna have your favorite drink beside you as you lie beside a couch or sturdy bed.. . ....

I think this brings up a good point for your disaster survival kit. No glass. Unfortunately, gluten-free beer, wine & tequila always come in glass. So besides the plastic jugs of water, you will need cans of hard cider, boxed wine and canned beer so no one drinks your cider & wine.

Tornado safety is almost the opposite of earthquake. Want to be in the middle of the building, bottom of stairs, under a table or beside the bed with the blankets on top.

On the weather tonight, they said tropical storm Hermine is coming. Instead of saying how much rain, the weather guy said " Build an ark".

Will be adding sippy cups to the disaster box ( large plastic box with tight fitting lid stored under basement stairs)

Anyone remember the movie " the Day After"? That was when a nuclear bomb flattened KC. Since then ( about 1980), people here have had emergency boxes. The irony is that a plant here in town made many parts, including the timing/ igniting device for those weapons.

Holy crap.. . . ..canna believe how long it's been since anybody's posted! :blink: If everyone's been busy surviving through a surprise earthquake, I DO hope each of you assumed the position, prone with sippy cups, beside your bed or huge stack of paper. . . .. ...

To resume the Psilly dialogue, I will make the following important Royal Announcement: Can anybody guess what I am doing today, over the next twenty-four hours?

How rude <_< Twas nae phinished and hit sumphin twice by mistake and it posted :huh:

I'm on me netbook since all of a sudden me notebook will not turn on. Must take it to the Geeks and see what's up wif it. Darn (sorry Jan-it) thing is way too tempermental :angry:

Anywho,...ventured out in the car this morning by myselph fer the first time up here. Managed to get to the A&P, and the health phood store and back again.

Got an apple pie into the oven--phinally--amidst several interruptions....am now (supposedly :P) balancing my checkbook and going through mail that's been piling up....can nae wait till things get back to normal :rolleyes:

Oh, and the post office has forwarded Matt's mail here as well as ours.... :unsure:

Beautiful day, though. Cool and breezy wif a definate twinge of phall :D

There is a subject I know well. The only way to fix this is for Matt to go to his post office and you to go to the one that delivers your mail. Then you both must insist in loud voices that they fix this (calmly explaining to them didn't work for me). Also, calling the national post office number to complain does absolutley nothing. Someone types it into a computer & gives you a number. Nothing happens after that. They do not notify your post office or anyone else. The worst part is that they have now sent notifications to some of Matt's bills that this is his new address.

This happened to me. A family member with a mental issue, decided we were getting her mail. She put in a change of address from my house to a place she was about to move out of. Since her maill never came to my address, the post office decided anything with Karen on it would be forwarded. Our first names were not even similiar. Some mail was still coiming to our house, mostly with Hub's name on it. The way I figured it out was the water company called and said they had a change of address for me and I hadn't paid my bill. They thought this was odd. Credit card companies didn't question it and kept sending stuff to the new address. OYE!

At least you and your son will cooperate with the mail.

Karreighn--I'm cautiously optimisic about the mail debacle. I called the post office in Matt's town and spoke with a very helpful lady. She filled out correction forms for me over the phone for us, and will tell the postal carrier that Matt is still living there.

It was my mistake because by forwarding mail for myself and Mark (2 people), it was taken as "family" (she told me this)--so all those with the same last name were forwarded.

It's a pretty small town--she even said she was noticing a lot more mail going to his address--with the yellow stickers.

And yeah--we'll just hold onto each other's mail until the weekends until this thing is straightened out. :)

Well the torrential rains that we were supposed to get today from the hurricane Hermine have been anticlimatic. Light sprinkles. However, because it is the end of a hurricane, every hour on TV they interrupt to give us the weather. :unsure:

Glad your getting out and about in your new town.

You have the worst luck with mail my dear

At least you and your son will cooperate with the mail.

that's what's nice about a small town. The ladies explanation did make sense for once.........usually they just give us back talk or strange language garble....wink.gif

Would have liked a bit of rain. Hub keeps trying to grow grass. Psilly man!

WTH? Someone really wanted 7 days worth of your pee? Does it cure warts? Increase male performance? Seriously, do we really pee that whole container in 1 day?

Hub & I seem to be physically degenerating. Body parts are taking turns to make certain that 2 or 3 a day are aching. We will have to consider a spa soon. I'm afraid I may not be able to get out!

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

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile.

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
