{{{{[hugs}}}} Rayshell. Lookit it this way, your day can only get better :) However, having to change your garage combination is a pain. :(

OK, just thought this would be phunny and maybe make our Ras-helle smile. I've been looking up nightshade vegetables so I can avoid using them in my stew tomorrow and 5 of the links came up with videos for I Wear My Sunglasses At Night.

Turned out to be our next-door neighboUr, but we discovered this a couple of days after he suddenly moved away. It's the most sick feeling, R... . . ..I hope they get them!

This happened in our garage last year. Cops couldn't do anything about it because the witness was the guy's mentally challanged girlfriend-not a credible witness <_< This was right before my MIL told me that we were all going to Hell and this was part of how God was punishing us. I hope she doesn't find out about this!!

Good news, I just went out and gutted my car before I gave a list to the cops and I found the garage door opener thrown in the back with the rest of the stuff from my center console and jockey box. It's small and black, couldn't find it when it was still dark. I will tackle someone if I see that coat. It's not everyday that you see a fairly expensive purple quilted puffy coat at an off ramp, I'm guessing... ;)

I'm so sorry, - hope you manage to chill out a bit over the weekend (with HP maybe wink.gif)

Boiler broke down last weekend (sound familiar??)....t'was fixed.....now me gas metRE has died.

Why do these things only ever break at 5pm on a Friday???

The boiler AGAIN?! Tre ridiculous!! Terry asking questions about the meter man? ;)

I will rendezvous with HP tomorrow night at 7. I am excited!! Have to get thru 7 hours of the bazaar tomorrow, and decorating 122 cupcakes tonight :unsure:

So glad you found the garage door opener. That's a really thing to have stolen. Hopefully if someone did feel the need to steal your coat they really need it. I'm just sorry you had it stolen. And purple is my favorite color!

Good luck with al of the cupcakes.

P.S. BC/BS promised to call me back in an hour (almost three hours ago) so I took a shower as soon as we hung up and didn't even do my hair because I wanted to be ready for the call. I look like a bag lady right now but at least I'm clean.

Gnicker's bolier!! What in hell is the mattah with the heating systems in the UK? Holy crap, we'd be in deep ungawa 'round this part of the world if our furnaces were breaking down regularly throughout the winter.. .. .I suppose that is why they don't - -they simply can't. <_<

In my first-year university course on Victorian writers, our professor, who was a lovely older man (Canadian but a transplanted Londoner), was telling us of all the wonderful things about England - - the people, the sites, the history - - and he ended by stating "So much going for them. . .. .. . ..but they STILL don't know how to heat a house!!"

That's eggsactly what I thought in the 60's, but from all the "Finding a New Home in the Country" and what- not shows I have watched lately I really was starting to believe that they had learned a thing or two... :rolleyes:

Grab a bean bag and curl up by the fire with the kittehs, dreaming of Hogwarts :D

So that's what everyone meant by HP. I forgot it opened tonight. Our son is rejecting us and going with his friends. Maybe that's what Klark and I will see this weekend. Tony (our son) thought it would be cool if Emma Watson was at the movie theater he goes to (he's at Brown) but she'll probably be at a fancy opening.

I didn't see that. :( he is sooo funny. At first, I thought, how does this skinny, scruffy not very cute guy get so many girls and Katy Perry? When I heard him on a couple of talk shows, I knew.

Culinary disaster tonight! Tried to make the sour dough bread and cheese straws from Robyn Ryberg? Cookbook. Both were dismall failures. Cooper would only eat the bread if I dipped it in olive oil. Was going to make one of Irish Davey Boys recipes, too but I overcooked the potatoes so I couldn't shred them. That was my fault and I will make potato pancakes with them ( in keeping with the Irish spirit).

Will try again. Have had good success with mixes, so may just use them.

Oh shoot! I love Russell and didn't know he was gonna be on Larry King. :angry: I saw him on Conan the other night--I think he's delightful :D

I had no idea who he is so I went to his website. The Conan clip is on it, if anyone else would like to see. pretty funny.

Just searched for the Larry interview, and it's not up yet.. . . .truly, I have not laughed that hard in a while. Russell Brand is mesmerizing, and, at least for me, extremely attractive in a kind of bizarre, Willy Wonka/Jim Morrison/swashbuckler kinda way.

AND he's hilarious.

I'm still larphin'. .. . . . . . . . :lol:

There is summat about him in a 'dandy' kind of way *nods head* ......is he new to yooz??? I have loads of his 'Stand up' live DVD's.

He's always near the mark - got in trouble with the BBC for it too rolleyes.gif

He had a real ladies man label 'til he met Miss Perry.

He's from my part of London - we support the same football team wink.gif

Relatively, yes... . . . ...just knew of him as an English actor, but now that he's with Katy he is suddenly all over the place on this side of the pond. OMG... . how could I have NOT known about such a comic genius? :lol:

Hope you enjoyed HP and it made up for your horrible Friday. We're going to see it tomorrow. I convinced Klark to get the tickets online as I think t will be rather crowded.

I'm trying to get motivated to go out and do some food shopping. I wasn't able to sleep much last night. For some reason I was in a lot of pain (celiac and ulcer) and had a semi-anxiety attack. Don't know why. Perhaps the stress of the holidays. So today I'm finding it hard to get motivated. I guess i can do my food shopping on Monday or Tuesday. All I know is I'll have a ravenous college freshman at home for 5 days who has a bottomless pit for a stomach and planning a menu for him is harder than my husband (hmmm... anxiety?). Even though we've seen him a lot over the past few months I can't wait to have him home.

Hope you're all having a great day!

Hugs,

Loey

Me three! And he is nowhere near what I would choose looks wise. Got his movie " Get Him to the Greek" to watch tonight. Says it has the theatrical rated R version and an " unrated" version. Hmmm. Which will I watch? :ph34r:

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ? 
    • Zuma888
      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?
    • knitty kitty
      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
