No finals. I have to write a six page paper on the hidden Markov chain method. But I'm way too tired to start that. ;)

Funny! I have a couple who peck at my fingernails when I pet them.

To give the bigger chicks a little more room I put a big box in front of their cage with the side down so they can go in and out. They spent the first hour "daring each other to go in. One would stand on the edge of the cage and another one would dive bomb her from the top of the shoe box, shoving her outside. Then they'd all scream bloody murder and go running into the back of the cage. The it would start all over with a different brave soul standing at the edge.

You little devil!

Its just been pouring rain all day! :(

J is finished with high school, we hope! Don't really know until you open the envelope they give him Sunday at Graduation. ;)

Of course J will graduate and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Clark & I had a horrible time adjusting to Tony's leaving (especially since he rarely got in touch at first). Things improved over the year and today he's bringing his stuff (and his crush whom we love) home to drop off his stuff then go back up to Brown to get Bethany's things (crush) to store here over the summer - she's from Chicago. Then they're helping friends move their things to storage, What he doesn't understand is a tank of gas is $75 here and we're not paying it for him. I can't believe he's completed his first year. We're going to have a quick lunch at a restaurant that's hiring so hopefully they'll see something in him. He doesn't have paid job experience.

Lub,

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Just how old do you have to be, to be an "advanced" senior resident?? Just want to know for when I get there :blink::ph34r: So I can understand my behavior with whatever amount of reasoning I have left :lol: Or maybe it depends on how many posts you have made (in which case Patteigh is over the top!)

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

You and me both. The getting life back part I understand; it's the agony I don't. Maybe it's the relief from agony??? :P But then they still seem to agonize, even when they's gone :o

Many of them are well into their nineties... . . . ....so I'll say 90... ....my mom, at 83, is often the youngster in the crowd.

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

Here is a senior prank we here at C.com will appreciate.

J's class painted a toliet shiny gold. They installed it with a cement base in the courtyard by the senior lockers. The class speech yesterday had the words "poop" & "poopy" in it at least 6 times.

I saw a picture and it was truly a splendid throne. I am thinking gold toliets may become the style for Psillies everywhere.

All systems go at our house today :) Scaffolders here and have already got up to the point of peering in my bedroom :o and bathroom :blink: - gonna have to change some habits for the next week or so (no window coverings in bathroom), although they can't see the throne.:ph34r: Lead scaffolder is a BIG Maori fellow with braided dreadlocks tied in a high ponytail. He still has his jacket on so I can't check for tats, and I don't care about his thumbs - definitely not my type.

And tonight Rolf (he of the heavy Teutonic accent) arrives. Hub will have to wear his hearing aids or he will never understand him. Sounds like a very nice fellow, and he will be bedding down with us for the week while he saws apart and rebuilds our Tulikivi fireplace :D. I have stocked up on wurst and sauerkraut and am making German potato salad :lol: - have to keep him happy :)

All this courtesy of the Earthquake Commision for which we pay an additional $70 per year on our house insurance. They pay up to the first $100,000 damage (which we certainly don't have but many do). and up to $20,000 on contents. Bet they go bust on this quake which is estimated to cost $30 billion, but that includes all the infrastructure and the program doesn't cover commercial insurance.. Even Warren Buffet has been called in on his reinsurance :o

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
