Hi, Peter!

Gee, if you scroll down far enough, they have Altoids. OMG. Recent arrivals here may not know the story, but if you search the board for that word, you will find some, er, interesting discussions.

Now, I'm curious...who here posted on that thread? It had to be at least two years ago, or more. I know I posted...at least once....maybe two or...three times. :ph34r::ph34r:

I wish we could all rush round - pool our resources - hands on help....god knows you could do with a break

I KNOW! wouldn't this be great, we could Silly-sit.........and after we're done silly-sitting, we could take turns in each other's gardens........have a potluck....thrown down some acid drops absinthe...sit and watch Oprah together :lol:

Your hard candy madam is frankly ...er....BORING!!! :lol:

Oh my gaaawd...you haven't lived 'til you've tried one of Open Original Shared Link :P

:( I could eat.....just about everything on that page, adn in mass quantities (I am a candy FIEND)........esp. the ones w/ soft centREs.......um, American hard gums? we call those gum drops here :lol:

'Tis my fair bro. He was here a couple of weeks ago when we still had snowbanks piled up to our roofs. He's in Toronto, where there is always much less snow. So, when he got here, he yelled something like, "Woo Hooooooooo!!!! Now THAT'S snow!! The winters of my childhood! How I've MISSED THIS!" Gawd....then he ran out and rolled around in the snow like Gus. I grabbed my camera, wanting to capture this mid-life insanity, and when he saw me out there, the snowballs began to fly....

:lol:

Hey all, just popping in real quick. The kids are being pretty good today, which is a relief. I called the dr. and made an appt. for tomorrow. I told the receptionist that I had a few things going on, and it was going to take more than 5 minutes. So she gave me the last appt. of the day, at 5pm. So I'm going to see if I can get someone to watch the boys for me.

I think I'm going to ask her to step up my dosage on the Effexor. I've been thinking about that for the past few weeks anyway, so...

Patti, we used to be able to get samples of abx, but recently the drug reps haven't been distributing many at all. I don't know why. I do get the Effexor from her by sample packs... one reason why I hesitated to ask to step up that dosage. But I'm going to ask. It's hideously expensive if you buy it out of pocket.

Right now, I'm just trying to concentrate on daily things, dinner, homework, baths, one thing at a time. And just focus on each thing... not let my brain get going on anything outside of that.

For now, that's working.

Yes, that's good, try not to get too far ahead of yourself. Glad to hear about your late appt. tomorrow--she won't be hurried--always a plus! :)

Oh, boy....I was thinkin' about the lack of Silly and prevalence of Sad 'round here, so I called my dad and asked him to tell me something to throw in for comic relief. He told me to tell you all about the light switch in their living room. It doesn't do anything, and they've never bothered to ask the maintenance guys or cleaners about it. Every so often my dad would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, he got a call from a woman in Madagascar. She said, "Cut it out".

Your dad is too funny :lol:

We had a switch like that in the house we just sold--it was in the master bedroom and the day of the home inspection, the inspector, the agent and the guy buying the house asked me what it was for and I told them I had no idea. We lived there 7 1/2 years :ph34r:

I wonder :unsure: if they ever figured it out

Sarah, one thing at a time is a good approach. Hang in there!

Susie, a dvr (if it's the dvr i am thinking of) is a digital video recorder.

This phenomenon is happening in new houses too, I have switches all over that don't turn anything on or off :blink:

Reminds me of that commercial with the husband flipping on and off and on and off a switch, saying, "honey, what does this go to?"........meanwhile several houses down the street a garage door is opening and closing and opening and closing with every flip of that switch :lol::lol:

EARTHQUAKE!

OMG Janet!!! I heard about it on the news this morning, and wondered if any Sillies were in the affected area. I've never been in an earthquake. Did you have any damage? Everybody ok? That would've scared the crap outta me!!!

Morning, Ma Sillies!

Earthquake? How exciting, Janet! Did you hide in the basement? No--run outside--no....what do you do when an eathquake strikes? <_<:rolleyes:

Well! Today Sarah's got her crucial appointment with the doc. So glad you're going, Sarah--just let it all pour out. Help shall come! :lol:

Today is, what--day 2 of the new Smoke-free Ptaoughmn? How are you feeling? Probably not very silly maintenant.....but YOU CAN DO THIS..........! :)

Today Alan hits The Magic Kingdom, n'est-ce pas? So magical....hope he meets up with our yeti at the parade (we all know how well the yeti commandeers a parade when he gets the chance....)....

So, a normal day here. Gonna go out back and figger where we're planting a new tree we'll be buying, to replace....(now, I have NOT brought this up at all because I choke up whenever I do...our HUGE, eighty year-old horse chestnut tree is officially dying--my kids have climbed it, had a house up in its grand, twisted branches, the tire swing still hangs resolutely from a limb that always seems to be waving at me in the kitchen...). :( Each morning lately I have gone out and put my arms around this majestic thing, feeling, squeezing for its life. But it must come down. :(

And...we will bury Ol' Aunt Rose under the new one. She would like this. Much better than being in with our running shoes and work boots..... <_<

Well, at our house, we sit up in bed and say "Holy Crap, It's an Earthquake!!"

It wasn't strong enough to do any damage (we were about 150 miles away and it was about 5.4 at the epicenter). Just strong enough to wake everyone up, meet in the hallway to discuss it, watch about 15 minutes of the news to verify it was an earthquake (along with how big and epicenter locale) and then go back to bed.

Time to go to work.

Later Sillies!

Mornin' Sillies :D

Goodness gracious Janet :o Good think it was a small one!

Emily--have fun planting your new tree....sorry 'bout the ol' chestnut. We planned to plant 2 new trees on the side of our yard this weekend, but we have to wait till next weekend. There's a law, apparently, that we have to call to have all the utilities come out and mark anything running underground.

Turns out, since I called yesterday, there's a waiting period of 3 business days and even then it has to be done by May 1. What a production <_<

Hey, Janet, it woke me up, too! I was checking in here to see how it was in IN!

So, when did you and Bev meet? Where?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I will not touch anything unless it is certified gluten free.  Do you see this pretty commonly with others? Having mild rises in TTG IGA and IGA who have been on gluten-free diet for years?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?
