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.

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.

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.

Snow in October - YAY!!!

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 for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.

      It’s true that awareness of celiac disease can vary among physicians, particularly outside of gastroenterology, and many patients end up educating their own providers. Reaching out to someone you trusted for 25 years makes sense if you felt heard and supported. That said, celiac disease management often benefits from a team approach, including a knowledgeable primary care provider and, when needed, a gastroenterologist or dietitian familiar with gluten-related disorders. Advocating for yourself is not unreasonable—it’s part of managing a chronic condition. If your current provider relationship isn’t working, it’s appropriate to seek care where you feel respected and properly supported.

      I understand why that feels concerning. Some Schär products use specially processed wheat starch that has had the gluten removed to meet strict gluten-free standards (under 20 ppm in the U.S. and EU), which is why they can legally and safely be labeled “gluten free” for people with celiac disease. However, wheat must still be listed in the ingredients and allergen statement because it is derived from wheat, even though the gluten protein has been removed. For individuals with a true wheat allergy, these products are not appropriate—but for those with celiac disease, properly tested gluten-free wheat starch is considered safe under current medical guidelines. That said, it’s completely reasonable to prefer products made without wheat starch if that gives you greater confidence, and clearer front-of-package communication could certainly help reduce confusion for shoppers.

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!
