Bah! No fair you guys are getting snow! :angry: It was 67 degrees here today- we had all the windows open and the kids are wearing shorts.

And we didn't move down south till I was 10, old enough that I know what I'm missing!

sigh... we haven't gotten a decent snow in three winters now. Keeping our fingers crossed for this year!!!

I'd gladly trade--it was nasty today here--40 and rainy and gloomy. Just nasty :angry:

Our temp was in the 50's today. I'm not particularly fond of cold weather ... and I grew up in the north! I'd be perfecty happy to move back down south ... not Florida though .... I like a little bit of season change.

Man, our seasons change just TOO MUCH here...minus twenty in the winter, plus thirty-five in the summer...and HUMID!

We had snowflakes today, too. Gus likes to bite them. Such a childish goofball. Wait...I like to do that, too....

:rolleyes::D

That Dingo Quinoa stuffing looks delicious...must try it, and thanks for the reprint, Richard! Will have to make a couple of substitutions...One sub-standard poodle in place of dingo... :lol:

:lol: yes, that'll do, and be sure to have some wine on hand. ;)

Ya! You guys are weirdos!! :lol::lol:

OMG we SO are!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

SNOW?? SNOW!! OMG - - some of you are having winter and some - in shorts? Shorts......I'm sorry Sarah....that is just WRONG........I think it's in the 60s here.......I am always DESPERATELY MAD to ahve a rainy and cozy Thanksgiving or Christmas - bloody never happens..............alas, THIS year, there MAY be a chance of rain that day - -

Susie is pleased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

p.s. the wee snowy Angus is SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think he'd make a fine ebay model...................... :P

I know, it was just so not right.

I kicked back on the front porch, in shorts and a t-shirt, bare feet... watching the kids romp around in the yard, with ORANGE and RED leaves blowing gently in the warm breeze. :blink: Utterly bizarre!

They say it's supposed to get cold again by Friday... In NC, you can never pack away either type of clothes- summer or winter. It bounces up and down too much.

I remember one year, when I was a kid.... it was 72 a couple days before Christmas, and snowed a week later.

I have to admit, it was a pretty picture today at the Med Center, there were still red leaves on the trees and this fresh blanket of white snow, the first snow of the season. The color in the leaves just looked so much brighter. I wish I had my camera on me. I never saw anything that pretty in real life, only in picture books.

I suddenly remembered a quote that is on my list of favourites, from another hero of mine, The Great Oscar Wilde:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Bloody sunny here. Bah! :angry: Well, it was dark and foggy in the morning, loved it, felt very holiday-ish. Now, sun coming out.........I am envious of you people with the dark gloom......I just think it makes the holidays SO MUCH cozier when it's cold and dark outside!!!!!!!

Patti - a heinous headache? whatever for? Feel better. :)

If you see me here again, scream at me............. :huh:

Darn210 Enthusiast

Cooking has started. Today I'm making lasagne to freeze and take for Saturday night. I've made chex(type) mix, muddy buddies and tonight is the choc chip cookies. Everything gluten-free, of course so that the kiddos will have some proper treats when everyone else is going hog wild on the gluten stuff at my mom & dad's.

Doing Christmas while we are there so have to get all the presents wrapped as well. Somebody needs to start packing!!! Ugggghhhhh!!!!!!!

Good News! The head count is down to 19. I'm working on a sineous infection myself. Think I can get a doctor's note excusing me from the cooking?

Excellent motto . . . fits us, perfectly. And where do we go to buy these T-shirts and coffee mugs? Anybody selling them on ebay?

68 degrees here today . . . falling temps and rain tomorrow . . . snow and ice for Thanksgiving. Whatever. Just so it's not icy when we are driving.

Time to go kill that turkey.

Susie, get off and go do your work!!!!

Well, she was here when I started this post.

Happy cooking, Janet! Chocolate chip cookies sound good....I may make a batch.

Hey everyone! I'm one of those newbies Susie or Emily mentioned, who came across this thread by chance. I love it! :D

I really wish I had seen the toaster poster...although that was posted before I was diagnosed, so I wouldn't have had a reason to be here.

Also, to combine the cat comment and the dutch oven discussion, the absolute worst is when your cat farts on your pillow and/or you in bed. :blink:

For some reason the vision of some cute, cuddly, soft, warm, purring fluffball with weapons grade gas is hysterical.

Bloody sunny here. Bah! :angry:

Wonderfully sunny here! :) ahhhhhhhhhh .. . :)

If you see me here again, scream at me............. :huh:

:lol: riiiiiiiiight . . .. .

I spy w/ my little eye . .. . . Dingy here ~12:20p . .. .

<but tom's not falling for THAT again!>

Meanwhile, back at the fantastically located, but too small, apartment, I can let out a general purpose scream to be interpreted however one likes.

In my case, it's the annoyance & frustration of TOO MUCH STUFF!!! :angry:

Why do I have this? . . . .Why do I have THIS? .. . . . . Why does my roommate think the front/coat closet is a good place for his bin of extra sheets??!

Sounds like a good time for a trip to Salvation Army or Goodwill. :) I love getting rid of stuff!! :lol: So do my kids! It's hysterical. They get it from me ... hubby is a packrat .... but no more since we've moved so many times in the past few years.

Sunny here too, and 73 degrees. And Lucas has some kind of virus from hell and has been throwing up since 6am. The vomit and poop never ends around here.

Welcome, Joyful!

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?  
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..
