It's not MY house that the problem .... it's the extended family ..... my house has normal fighting over the bathroom type stuff, but not drama.

Happy Anniversary, Patti!

Rachelle, I would so go with you. It would be nice to have a family as bad as ours! Always expecting to end up on The Jerry Springer Show! Remember, I'm the one who had Christmas dinner in the kitchen (1 SIL in solidarity) because I would not sit with the in- laws after the most recent horrible thing they did. Wouldn't let the grand kids sit with them except the 2 mostly grown ones. Sent the boys to a nice table in the basement with a nice view of the Xbox video game & 2 Tvs of football.

Uh, no, I couldn't post here unless my posts were moderated first, which would take up to 24 hours, and you guys would be like ten pages past that, so it was useless. I still only have six kids, one lives on his own ....

I resemble that remark - never takes longer than 23 :unsure::lol: Hello CarlaB. You've been gone so long I'm new too. but not THAT new - these guys have scrubbed me up pretty good :lol: The reason it never takes longer than 23 is cos I'm usually Down Under and cleaning up the board when these other guys are layabeds.

Getting whapped by fate (or fat, as SueEllen suggested).

I've been waffling about my approach to grad school: Would I not to try to get in the program, just take classes for grad level credit so I could keep working and take them for free (and extend the time it took to complete the program)? Would I try to get in the program, but turn down any financial assistance (TAing) so I could keep working and have some control over my income (and extend the time it took to complete the program)? Or should I just quit work, dive in head first, and take the financial hit ($500-$1000/month)?

Those of you keeping a diary of my whining will recall that I'm not overly happy at work. After a couple very unpleasant interactions these last couple weeks, I was sitting on the bus last night thinking "God I wish I could just quit my job!" when I realized that I can. And will. Not until I'm in the program and school starts, of course, once I made the decision completely I am so much more calm and happy.

I have a few months to really tighten my belt and save as much as I can, so I don't feel as if I've thrown myself off a cliff. I apply in January for a Sept. start. If I don't get in I still have the option of taking the classes for grad credit and applying next year.

And it's completely legit to quit your job to go back to school - no political ramifications at all. :)

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test.

So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
