I showed Smackl . . . he loved it. Our high school has a robotics club I would love for him to get involved in. He's in fifth grade. Is that jumping the gun a bit? :lol:

Check out www.us first.org. FLL is First Lego League for younger kids. Some of the high schools sponsor these.

Actually, our own Elementary School was looking into forming a team. Instead they just started a lego club . . . don't know if it will develop into something more or not. The highschool robotics club holds lego camp each summer as a fundraiser for their orginization. They use the Lego Mindstorm as a basis and work in teams and compete at the end of the week. Smackl did it a year and a half ago. Last summer, we just weren't here.

Looks pretty bad. The fault line seems to run across the road in this video. Could be the worst damage is long that line. Lots of people walking around tho and cars even able to drive down the street, so not total devastation. Buildings are still standing right along this fault line, if that's what it is. Hopefully Schroomster was home by the time it hit in the afternoon. May the Lord keep you and bless you Shroommie!

Here's the reassuring post :) We are okay, house okay, even though we were only about 3 miles from the epicentre. Central city is pretty much destroyed though :( , and the town of Lyttelton just across the harbour from us is devastated (it was the epicentre). We have had hundreds (some of them gimungous) of aftershocks, Miss Em is scared witless (me too :blink: ), but power just came back on. 65 deaths, lots of people still trapped in buildings (it was lunch-hour), helicopters and planes fighting fires, it's a mess, but we will survive :ph34r::rolleyes:

The most vital ingredient is worchestershire sauce.......NOT gluten-free in Canada. :angry: Jus' doesn't taste the same without it... . . . . . . ..:(

Want me to send you some??

Yup, felt the same way about the 'short bus' quips.

I'm soooooo sorry!!! I sent you a fb message....

Hi Psilles,

Just reading through all of the posts I've missed. Ever find out what died in your fridge (was it Em)?

nnnoooo......I'm pretty sure Em didn't die in the fridge :P

BTW.....glad to hear those shots are helping :)

Maybe I could start some threads asking if odd foods are gluten-free. Chocolate covered ants? Marmite? Pork rinds?

Pork rinds are gluten free. Don't know about the flavored ones, though.

Going to Five Guys tonight . . . first time we're trying this place . . . hope we like it. We need a few more places where the kids will actually eat and I feel safe enough to take Skeeter.

Hmmmmm....I haven't tried them. Is that up in your neck o' the woods?

Well.....I had an awesome weekend! Friday night was a slumber party with my female co-workers. Saturday I finally did something that's been on my bucket list forever and took a precious metal clay (Silver jewelry) class. Sunday was dancing, and a day off Monday!

I took the leap and gave meselph bangs! Cheaper than botox! :lol: And I think I got the desired effect, as I've been told it makes me look younger B)

So glad Shroomie is OK! Whew, that was a close one!

We love you Nikkers :wub:

Do I need to apologize? :unsure: Canna remember what I have said. Too lazy to look and google search is..... :angry: ticking me off!

So please accept my apologies for anything I might have said.

Can I just apologize now to everyone for anything I might say in the future?

Glad to hear you are ok Shroomie! The reports said the whole city is built on a sand and shale underlayer that turns to jello in a quake, Sounds scary!

Sounds a bit like a Catholic "pre-confession" - "Father, I am going to sin tomorrow...." How many Hail Mary's for a pre-confession?

Glad to hear you are ok Shroomie! The reports said the whole city is built on a sand and shale underlayer that turns to jello in a quake, Sounds scary!

Well yes, it is a gravel alluvial plain with shales washed down from the Southern Alps which form the backbone of the island. What that description leaves out is that half the city used to be a swamp!! :blink: My ancestors when they arrived on the First Four Ships (or at least my grandmother with several greats in front ,because my many times great grandfather died as they entered the harbour) spent many years in Lyttelton, the port, before she could make it over the hill and through the swamps to take up the ancestral land purchased in England before the voyage.

Now just how many cities do you know that have a suburb called Marshland??? :lol: The most unlikely soil type for a city yer ever heard of. Houses built in "Marshland" have to have poles inserted (can't remember how many now) meters into the "soil" - something like 30 feet :o for a foundation. Now why they didn't do that in Bexley goodness only knows :rolleyes: That's what we pay our elected officials for :P

I (incidentally) live "over the hill" on volcanic rock :ph34r: , the harbour being the crater and the hill being the rim. :lol:

Weren't they called " Dispensations"? Pay money to get your sins forgiven.

Volcanic rock? Now we have to worry you will be carried away by lava?

      Gluten free beer ?

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!
