J chose these cute silver with glass shelves to put in the bathroom. I imagined them putting the roll of TP,stacked neatly on one shelf, one kids extra shampoo, etc on a shelf, the others on the other. They too the whole pack of TP & laid it on a shelf. They had swim trunks and soccer socks drying on the other shelves.

OMG. . .....:huh:. .....Kherrighnne, those guys have a girl stayin' in there with them, I'm telling ya......

:rolleyes:

Now really, if they took the rocks out of our brains, what would we do with all that empty space?

Yes, but think about how much quieter it would be?

Hope all goes well Loey . . . I really admire your positive spirit. Have a good (alcohol-free) weekend.

After I bathe, I'll tell you guys the story of how the forest service towed my truck, parked where their website told me to park, and the told me I had to figure out how to get of the forest on my own, and get the thirty miles to where they had the truck towed. Without water. or phone. in 80 degree temperature.

I sent them an email

Oh my! I can't wait to hear the story. Why were you in the forest without a phone? Run away chicken led you on a wild chase? Hiding a body and don't want to be tracked via GPS? :ph34r:

Oh dear. That's not good. We're all going to have to carry letters from our doctors stating we have digestive issues and, given our medical disability, are legally required to be provided with restroom access. (Actually have friends with Crohn's who carries a little card stating that.)

Edit: if it had been a woman, i'da bet they found a *gasp* dropped tampon tube. Maybe it was just some toothpaste.

I went hiking, parked at a marked trail head. The website said the bridge was closed to traffic, only local traffic and hikers, park at the gate and don't block it. So I did. I came back, my truck is gone, and there's a guy pushing around a pile of rocks with a cat. He told me the cops had my truck towed, because it was a construction site. :blink: :blink: And how was I supposed to know that? Nothing on the web. No signs. Nothing.

The nice construction guy parked his cat, got his truck, and drove me up and down the road trying to find the forest service cop. He finally found him, the cop guy told me my truck had been impounded and taken to Shelton - 30 miles away. I said "So what do I do?" He said I had to find a ride to Shelton to get my truck. So I'm in the middle of the forest, worn out from a four hour hike which was basically two miles of stairs up, there's no phone service in the middle of the forest, I have about 1/2 cup od water left, and it's 1 in the afternoon on the hottest day we've had this year. I just looked at the construction guy with a WTF look on my face.

He told me that their quarry was in Shelton, and the guys driving the big trailer trucks would be back in a couple hours and he'd try to get me a ride with them. We drove back to the construction site and he went to talk to his boss. The boss told him to help them set up a silt fence in the river, then Jeff, my construction guy, could load up a fuel tank that needed refilling and take me to Shelton to find my truck.

So, $600 poorer, and more knowledgeable about how they fix bridges (they had to shock the fish, collect them, and release them someplace safe :o ), I got home, and opted for an evening of wine.

$600 for a tow!?! That's insane!

That was a very nice construction guy though to help you. And what a talented (and strong?) cat he has that knows how to push rocks around! I wonder what he feeds it? :lol:

Really, I'm just glad you are okay. Is it really safe where you live to go hiking in the woods alone?

Holy crap, Jyessss.. . .. . ..I should hope you can get all (or a large part of) that six hundred bucks back, without spending that much on the legal system to represent you. Nothing marked, no signs, you're parked in the spot they instructed.....sounds like a slam dunk. I have been really wondering, lately, about the little guy's ability to fight City Hall.. . ....but your situation, Jyesss, sounds much more promising than mine. ... <_<

Wow, Jess! Good thing the construction workers were there to help! Maybe you can go back & take a picture of where you parked & the signs or lack of signs?

It's only 100 miles away...

I'm hoping Jeff, the construction guy, as a witness is sufficient. (and the rest of the construction drew, with regard to the lack of signage)

Oh! Didn't know it was so far!

Maybe point out that they stranded you and the search for you the next day would have cost them more than the $600 tow & ticket!

Holy Moly, Jess!!!

Do you have any lawyer friends? Someone that could write an intimidating letter? . . . you need to capture the website instructions somehow before they are "updated".

~2.5 hours @$177/hour, ~$88 because it was Saturday, $22.50 for 1/2 day storage :blink: , plus some service fee because I wasn't paying in cash. It's quite a racket. I imagine those guys will be sewer rats in their next life.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
