Well, she's not naming it Bunnie.....

Maybe that is because you don't spend enough quality time here with us, Julie. Don't be a stranger. :wub:

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

:P I'm here--we are having a floor installed in my son's kitchen and laundry room. It was supposed to be done yesterday, and suffice it to say that everything that could possibly go wrong did.

The installer--whom we have known for 15 years and did mucho work for us when we lived here--decided to remove the hot water heater, which is the right way to do it. Hyjinks ensued when he turned the "shut-off" valve and it proceeded to spew water all over the place. (he missed the real one underneath the unit :rolleyes: ) It ended up phlooding the floor, got all over the walls, and even soaked the phone.

We had to put in an emergency call to the water dept, who came within 10 minutes and shut off the water to the house--and this is where Karrighn's snow pile comes in....they had to dig through about 2 feet of piled up snow to get to the valve. (once it was under control, they turned it back on) Since the water heater spent the night on the back porch, we had no hot water last night. The floor guys are here now, the plumber will be back around noon and hopefully it'll be done by this afternoon.

I did have a quiet break in the afternoon yesterday when I drove Matt to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. Got to sit in the waiting room and watch Animal Planet :D

Why do they do that? My house has 2 shut-offs to house - one 8 inches above the other. Plumbers have never been able to explain that.

Glad you are OK. You are usually on here all the time but when you weren't I started worrying. Then my mind started going in wild tangents. I hoped you decided to chuck all this snow & had just run off to Tahiti. But then.... I remembered you had been sick. There was a thing on the news about what happens to your FB if you die. One of J's football & lacrosse teammates dad died suddenly so we have had that on our minds. So I started to leap to horrible thoughts.

Hadn't thought of Remodelling Hell.

Holy crap. . . . .. . ....well, you haven't just phlipped over a big number.. . .. ....Patteigh, you need to ask your son if he is posting on any online forums, and if so, to check his post count. This Deluge Clause could be present in many other forums, for all we know.. . . ... .. :unsure:... . . . ..

Aw thanks :wub: Twas a rare thing, but I wasn't on the computer at all yesterday. Mark had to go back last night to get back to work (he took yesterday off), but I'm thinking I'll just stay till Saturday so he doesn't have to make the trip to come get me after work. I just hope the washer is hooked up tonight--I've been here since Friday night and don't wanna run out of clothes...

Put them out on the front lawn as an art installation. A commentary on the weather and our society.

Was thinking maybe a name made with all our first initials but we don't have enough vowels.

My dd wanted to know what it was like to live in the 1900's :unsure:

I started to make a list of alternative names for the short bus, in case the Canadian group knows not what I mean, but as I was typing the list, I felt dirty and ashamed, so I erased them all :blink:

Well, I was new to the short bus (although sometimes feel I need to be on one :blink: - see below ) Had to google it - that's one bit of technology I have mastered to a fine art :P

Hahaha - welcome to the world of the technology challenged. :lol: That's what it's like for us all the time. Although I have scrambled out of the 1900's. Instead of saying "I wanna Iphone" I kept saying "I wanna Ipod" Of course, being of short bus calibre I didn't know what they even looked like, but said to hubs, if I'm going to put in the miles on the damned treadmill, I gotta have me some decent music, and sent him to not only buy me one but to put the music on it too :lol: Now I toddle along to my heart's content listenin' to the happy beat with my happy feet. Couldn't believe how tiny those things are, but my humungous head has such little ears stuck on it that the speaker buds are almost too big to stay in :unsure:

You need the ones like ear plugs that you squeeze, put in ears then they expand so they stay in better. Or just the old school headphones like earmuffs ;)

      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.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
