'tis rumored here that we shall have 3, perhaps 4 days in a row without rain. As of yet, no one believes it.

Just an update for my dearest psillies.Clark got his lay off date two days ago. Unlike most of his department (who are done June 17th), Rob is being kept on until August. He has the choice to work until mid August or the end of August. He'll decide which as soon as he sees when his Master's program starts.

Tony is a happy camper because he can get the two weeks off this summer that he wanted to go back to NJ (Clark and I are only staying a week). He has two female friends that he bakes with and one of them goes to Brown with him. He likes her and feels it finally might be mutual. Poor baby is 0 for 9. He has been EXTREMELY helpful around the house and back to being my sweet boy.

Clark is taking medical leave starting Tuesday next week to take care of me. I might have a lot of illnesses and his getting laid off sucks but I still feel SO blessed to have the life I have and a big part of that is my all of you in my online family.

um, Lo... :unsure: P'raps you didn't read the contract before you signed up to be a psilly, but we don't allow excess illness here. You'll just have to spend the summer feeling great. I'm sorry that wasn't made more clear to you, but you did sign the contract....

Now who says I don't feel great (emotionally and in great spirits due to all of you and this thread)! Should I do my updates on illness on a different thread?

Love,

P.S. I plan on spending my summer recuperating on the beach or in my backyard. Clark bought me a cook chair that has a pillow and if you flip the pillow over there's a face hole so you can tan on both sides.

No sweetie, we care about you and appreciate you keeping us updated on how you're feeling. You are a psilly even when you aren't feeling that way. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Low, we absolutely need to hear psilly stuff AND pserious stuff, whatever is going on in one's life that needs to be shared with good friends. These incredible people have gotten me through the death of my dad, my dog and then my mom's stroke, quite literally - - I laid it all out on here, and mygawd, how they have helped me! :wub:

And I am KWEEN for another six pages, so WHOT I SAY GOES. B)

Oh, this sounds divine. . . . ....

I wonder if they have personalized prototypes for this chair. . . ....like, if you're buying one as a gift for someone who has an enormous nose, is there a huge hollowed-out nasal area? Or if your chin sticks out really far.. . . .....or you have a Cro-magnon brow ridge? Might be quite a market for this. . . . . . ...

They did have one with a cup holder on the arm but I like the other idea of a place below the phace.

And I don't plan on losing it. Just didn't know if I should take the serious stuff to a serious thread. I consider this thread as my home smile.gif . I do go to other threads to share and see if I can help but I always leave this one with a smile on my phace.

I'm using bed time to an advantage. I read or make earrings. When I feel good I paint in Clark's study. He really has been Superman and has been serving me meals in bed so I know I have a LOT of blessings and I count all of you psillies at the top!

OK, off to bed to finish a good trashy book.

P.S. Tony's grown up a lot this summer. He was able to get two weeks off this since it's far enough in advance to get coverage (there's a girl back home who also goes to Brown) and they bake cakes together. He likes her and thinks it's mutual. Perhaps it will be his 1 in 10 (poor Tony blink.gif). Anyway he's a happy, helpful camper this summer. He's going to be a dishwasher at Ninety-Nine (like TGIF) AND we get a 25% family discount there if we go to dinner with him. They have a gluten-free menu.

It'll probably be more than his dad makes, or something equally horrible. :P

He just got back. He said it was mostly a " this is the job. Are you interested?". Said they will decide next week. Who knows? No mention of money. It's a " summer internship" so it's possible it doesn't pay. :o

Well, experience is pretty important. It may get him paying jobs later.

I'm thinking of sending him to Rachelle. She needs a manny. However, I fear that J & Max together might be a dangerous combination. :blink:

Indeed. . . . . . . ...:unsure:. . . . ....What words does J use to refer to his own, or anyone else's, testicles?

:lol:

I told him the whole story. I put it on FB. He said to tell Max that he really shouldn't need to refer to them very often. Also, he said that he feels that he likes to have a broad vocabulary. Therefore, balls, nuts & testicles are all used in his social & sporting world.

Tho hopefully not in his interview! :ph34r:

However NOT in the company of women, moms included. Men need their own language.

I have moved the chicks into the sun room. built a pen out of a modular wire bookshelf and put both of their boxes in there. Oddly, they still hang in cliques, the 5 older ones in one, and the 4 younger in t'other. Also got them bigger food and water sources so I don't have to feed and water every 12 hours.

My living room smells so much better. :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
