Several inches of wet snow here in Ft Collins!

There are a couple places in America that do not observe it either.

Parts of Indiana.

Just wanted to say that Indiana does observe daylight savings time now (and have for the past few years). Having grown up with DST and then moving here, I will say that it was a pain-in-the-arse to NOT have daylight savings. People could never remember what time it was when they were calling you (Are we on the same time now? or are you earlier than us now?). The flight schedules changed (I used to travel frequently for work). Phone conferences were always messed up. I, personally, was thankful when they switched over. I didn't really care about the time change thing as much as I cared about being different than the rest of the country. I will say, it's still a sore subject with a lot of people here.

I used to have infrequent correspondence with a dude from Indiana who was always so PROUD that they did not conform to the ridiculousness of DST. :D

I will soon be going from quite short days to quite looong days - takes the body a while to adjust :blink:

My kids are going through job appitude testing.

I remembered my testing appitude said I should be a professional athlete, hairdresser, spy. I have collected a paycheck, been licensed and insured for the first 2 carrers of the list. I just haven't been paid for my spy technique.

My son's test results... a magician, solar energy technition, and electrical engineer. (he can't be an electrical engineer ~ he's red green color blind.)

Good luck with that storm. It looks like a huge monster that may even affect Michigan.

Wish we got inches, we just got a skiffing :( Its halarious though, sometimes denver area gets more than us or we get more than them. Its due to Monument hill i believe.

I want a massive blizzard this year <_< we're long over due and we neeeeeed it badly. Big enough to knock out DIA for several days.

That one year (06 i believe) we had 3 ft come down in a day :blink: Originally it was only supposed to be a few inches. Of course, believing them, we let it pile up. NEVER AGAIN! That was when we only had cruddy ancient shovels. We had to go out and get new ones (eventually found some in an Ace hardware store). That year we had 8ft high piles of snow on one side of the drive. After that we got a snow blower.

This was the same storm that knocked DIA out for two days. And of course, after it, we constantly got pounded every weekend well into march.

whaaaat? :lol::P I lived in MT where you had snow on the ground all throughout winter, not this warm up melt off crud....

Some people are never happy :P I would count my lucky stars -- less salt on the roads, fewer trees dying, etc.

What's DIA?

Dulles International Airport??

Oye. We are bracing for....wait fer it....Frankenstorm !!!!! :o :o

Are they really calling it that?? . . . hope they are . . . and good luck to all youse in the path. Friend of mine was telling me she was emailing her 25-year old son (to her husband's dismay)with a list of supplies that he needs to have on hand and other recommendations (where to park the car, cooking, etc). Hey, that's what a good mom does!!!

Dulles International Airport??

My guess is Denver.

Defense Intelligence Agency. They are probably reading your email right now.

Snow in October - YAY!!!

:D :D :D :D :D

of course we don't live in the stuff...just love when there is enough to slide down and provide much needed snowpack / future water to those of us that have to pay heavily for this scarce resource.

**** Let it snow ****

mushroom Proficient

I love snow, so long as I can get out ahead of it :blink::lol:

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms? 
    • Wheatwacked
      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.
    • RMJ
      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
