That is so, like 2 Avatars ago!

In the current picture I am atop Whiteface (where the Olymplics were skiied in 1980) Mtn in Lake Placid in February 2005. It was about 2F and windy! I was wearing every stitch of clothing I could find!

There you have it!

This picture was supposed to show me on ice skates for the first time in my life. Unfortunately the guy we asked to take the picture didn't hear that part! :)

Later.

Off to get the kiddies and snacks for LOST!

If you played through high school, you'd pick it up again. My old church invited any members of the parish who played an instrument to join the 4th of July group ... I thought, "How hard can July 4th music be?" and dusted my flute off after 23 years of not playing and joined. That day I got invited to join the folk group at Church and the community band. I joined both! So, the church got to see me re-learn to play right in front of everyone!! After a few months my hubby bought me my dream flute! Last December I had the big flute solo for our Christmas concert!!! I joined a woodwind quintet and learned so much there! Now that we moved, I'm in a parish of over 10,000 people, and I play every weekend. Sometimes I sound good, sometimes I don't, but people seem to respect the fact that I have the courage to try. (If Adam were here, he'd say, "Don't listen to her, she lies, she's GREAT!" just as he always does).

You ARE BRAVE!

I can just remember my sister busting our eardrums when she was learning. I woldn't want to do that in front of 10K early on a Sunday morn!

Can you play any Jethro Tull solos? :P Ian rock's on that thing!

Do you know he took up the flute because he thought he could never be as great a guitar player as his contemporaries? (Clapton, Hendrix, Page)

It works for him, but it's kind of an odd fit...

They have several masses .... so it's not that many people all at once ... though it's been over 1500!

I haven't tried Jethro Tule. The old man I sat next to in band in Bloomington (he was old enough that John Phillip Sousa was a guest conductor at his high school!) played flute because it was a girl instrument ... he got to be around all the girls! :o I played a duet at his funeral with the band director's wife ... it was an honor.

I could play anything I have the music to if I have time to practice. The Church music is so easy, I don't practice it ... the band music, some of it I have to take home, but only for the fast parts ... the quintet music was at the professional level (never did understand why they invited ME to join them!! Most of them had been music majors, one was a professional with a German opera for 10 years!) I had to practice daily!

And, remember, I wasn't learning to play starting at the beginning level .... I was very good in HS!!

My anniversary is coming up 10/10, and last night Mary (my wife) asked if I wanted to do a weekend getaway. Well, more like a Saturday night getaway. Do you think this is just an odd coincidence, or has my wife been lurking around here :blink: (listening to Karen :huh: )? Either way I think I'll be taking her up on the offer. Maybe we'll have a new fridge next week. :ph34r:

It's the tradition that it gets crazy around here and we let loose on our posts at the full moon. It started with the Altoids thread, then became a tradition.

Tell your wife you can't get away for a romantic weekend because you'd miss the full-moon activity on celiac.com. That will go over really well.

Even better, take your computer with you. :lol:

I may be dumb, but I'm not STUPID!

A 'laptop' is probably not a good idea!

I was thinking of having my nails done (pedicure) as a special treat for myself. I'm weird. See --> http://gim.gupshup.org/gal/H/yumm4539_7650328.webp

A little polish really brightens things up.

Richard that's disgusting .... actually, you'd like a pedicure ... you don't HAVE to get polish, but you do get a nice foot massage and soak!

      How Celiac Disease Impacts Bone Health: What You Need to Know

      4.5 years ago I had 2 vertebrae fractures. After several months, 4 doctors, and numerous tests, it was determined that the root cause of my fractures was long term undiagnosed celiac. My DEXA tests 4 years ago showed significant osteoporosis; -3.3 T-score on my left hip. I had to wait 5 months before going gluten free. After wearing a back brace for ...

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Thanks for the update, Ben. If you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the blood testing - and this would be the normal protocol - you will still need to continue the gluten challenge until that is done.

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Update on how things went. To meet my daily quantity of gluten I had a measured amount of gluten flour with my breakfast and 2 slices of bread later in the day. I still had discomfort but it wasn't debilitating. My blood tests results came back this week and they were positive so I've been referred to a specialist.

      Hello, Ive been to the dermatologist ( two different ones) and now made appointment, soonest is NOVEMBER. Ive been dealing  with skin issues for a while and its getting  worse because nothing has worked.I feel the bumps, gently squeeze and a itty bitty hard thing is coming out.I took a picture and did close up and in the MANY pictures ive taken this past few days, there's a " string" type thing at the end. I FEEL IT COMING OUT.... At first few pic it looks like hair, its not.Its  part of what ever is in my skin...I did call my Dr yesterday and will be seeing him this Monday. What test should I request to see what the hell is causing my skin to have?I don't know what to call it.I do sleep with my indoor cats.I also have an inheritance cat two years ago who took to sleeping with me as well.I also was on topiramate but had to stop because of speech issues, memory and it can affect those with  kidney stones. I did suffer kidney stones in past.So i had to completely stop.Since freaking out of what i KNOW what I saw, i took matters in my own hands and decided to eat several whole cloves a day.Since doing so, though im not to eat garlic.My skin is actually clearing up sloooooooooowly.but then again I just started 4 days ago and already notice a difference. My husband thinks im seeing things.I know what I see and feel. what test is there to ask doctor about what is in my skin? Husband thinks im seeing things, because of the meningioma and stopping meds.i know what i saw.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By Name · Posted

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.
