I unplug my lap top too. Supposedly if the computer is on a surge protector it is ok....but computers are so expensive I don't take the chance. I had one get fried once....not fun!

Yeah, but surge protectors only protect from so many surges ... you wouldn't want yours to be plugged in for that one too many.

PLUS, a direct hit by lightening, and everything plugged in is toast! Our old house got struck a couple months after we moved .... everything had to be replaced ... washer, dryer, electronics, .... everything! A beam in the attic vapoUrized!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gawd! :lol:

Susie--yes, you must unplug immediately!!!! about 5 years ago, our house got hit with lightening and it blew out our modem. There was smoke in the wall, the fire dept was called, a mess.

Ok everyone....the stupid award for the day goes to.... (drumroll)----me <_<

I've eaten 2 boxes of Lesser Evil Popcorn in the last week :ph34r: Beyond the obvious glutony, I have been feeling sick--digestive distress, middle of the night anxiety, and the tell-tale ache in the back of my head.

I'm thinking it had to be something else--all the holiday treats and all. Today, I'm still sick, so I go through everything-- mentally-- I've eaten or used different in the last week or so. The hair conditioner checked out.....so I go to call the popcorn company and see in small letters under the large allergy warning "made in a facility that runs wheat".

Crap :angry: I missed it completely.

That'll teach me to use my reading glasses when I shop B)

I'm envisioning a new crown made of pipets, with some sort of umbrella system to keep the rain off.

Maybe a robe made of plastic biohazard bags??

This caused me to chortle and snort suddenly...such a great word, and wasted on such a plebian experience. The Arrival of Menses Today...sounds like a royal entourage alighting, or a new historical epoch... :rolleyes::lol:

Yes - - 'tis a plebian (and utterly wretched) event indeed........

VORTEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG - I don't even KNOW if lightning is expected - HOW EXCITING! - but lots of power outages. must.........turn............off............computer................

:huh:

Vortex indeed....Susie is hoping she could keep in contact with us whilest the storm bears down upon her....we are her security blanket....be lost without us :)

:rolleyes: Yay! Yes you are! Amanda, set up my room, I"m on the way to chocolate-town....with two ersatz dingos in tow!

WOOOHOOOHOOOO!!!

excellent - but, what are pipets?

ALL HAIL QUEEN JESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now we have a scientist as queen........this could behold many interesting things for us......... :lol:

My dear Janet - you are not quite discerning the canine attitudes accurately - - Stinker is partially to completely senile now - - mostly deaf and losing vision - - so SHE, in this photo, doesn't even really know what's going on. :blink:

Annie? Her ears are almost always down in the submission pose for photos......I have to PUSH her off of me and tell her to stay - - she lunges for the humans every time. Annie is all about the LUVVVVVVVVVVV :wub: She really is the most beguiling and cutest dog ever - even Gail said so......that was huge.

gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I have to do a credit check on a potential renter and go to Starbucks for a latte and I MISS PAGE 500!!!

Congrats your highness Jess!

The renter was bad .... why do people pay me $20 to pull a credit report and not believe I'll do it???? So, I call her supposed landlord who is not the owner of the house but a representative for the "out of town owner" and she hangs up on me when I ask the owner's NAME! I mean, if you have such a bad landlord reference and are going to have a friend lie for you, at least tell the friend the LANDLORD'S NAME! It is information that can be found on the internet, LOL.

It gets entertaining ..... I guess they don't expect to get caught.

Mark has had similar experiences when he does background checks on potential employees--also when they submit to a drug screen. It boggles the mind :blink:

It truly does. If they're going to lie, they really need to be better at it ... I mean, she tells my hubby she needs to be out today because of a divorce, then she tells me she's having trouble collecting child support .. which is it? Is she just moving out, or has she been trying to collect child support for the past year? :huh:

The sad part is, MOST people lie .... so if you're going to own rental properties, be sure you have someone experienced teach you to do a background check! I used to manage a 300 unit complex in Houston ... the turnover was about 30 units per month, so I've had a lot of experience with it!

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      It is addictive. The dopamine hit I get from a sandwich after being gluten free for a while is insane and I immediately crave more. Maybe if I think of it more like an addiction I'll be able to beat it in the future.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Undiagnosed Celiac Disease was your root cause.  As you heal and adress nutritional deficiencies you'll see lifetime symptoms disapear, some you don't even realize you have.     Until 1951 no one knew the cause.  Around 1900 it was also called "Infantilism", you outgrew it or died.  Dr Hass around 1920 was the first to come up with a treatment with close to 100% survival.  At 63 I followed his diet for a while and it helped me past the early stage of recovery.  Even then it was only considered a childhood disease, eventually the child outgrew it.  Once outgrown the child was reintroduced to wheat.  After that any symptoms that arose were attributed to whatever was popular, gall bladder, allergy, endometriosis, etc.  Often the final diagnosis is "we do not know the cause, it is just normal for some people, but we have medications that will treat your symptoms."   I was bloated, and always colicky.  When my son was born in 1976, my mother commented "You got what you gave."  I pointed out to my wife that he looked like a Biafra baby from the Biafra famine in 1970.  One of the first successful sales of modern wheat was to replace the rice the Biafran Aid Society supplied.  After searching the state where we lived (pop. 6 million) we found the one child gastroenterologist familiar with Celiac.  He only had 13 other children dianosed with the disease under his care and after several endoscopies my son was diagnosed, put on GFD and immediately thrived.  The doctor also suggested my wife and I also do gluten free.  We declined, not having any gastro problems.  That remains my only regret in my life. THE VALUE OF THE BANANA IN THE TREATMENT OF CELIAC DISEASE  Dr Hass' 1924 puplication with diet. There are over 300 symptoms related to celiac disease I believe that if you have the genes, you have Celiac Disease, but your immune system is strong enough to keep it subdued, or your symptoms are misdiagnosed as something not wheat.  Until something happens to weaken the immune system, and symptoms, often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated, until eventually you die, never knowing or you get lucky and end up eating gluten free.  To me it explains the late onset of acute symptoms, many are "just normal for you". Ever wonder why people get so angry if you suggest they may have Celiac Disease.  Wheat is a cultural and economic staple of our lives.  And it is addictive, it numbs our body.  Suddenly, gluten free, all the other irritants are no longer suppressed.

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.
