OMG!!! No seeing it live for any of you guys??......... . . . :huh::huh::(

Dunno what the ratings were here, but I just have the feeling that MILLIONS of Canucks went in late to work today, so they could sit mesmerised, watching the most spectacular ceremony I'm sure I've ever seen. Heart-stopping, at times, breathtakingly beautiful at others, incredibly ingenious....

PeOter! Did you watch? Alex?

was it that good? You know........I am always wondering how the next country will out-do the preceding.....I cna't believe some of the things they do now, in opening ceremonies.... :huh: But my all-time favorites - Lillehammer and France for openings.

OMG - back to work - those three words strike TERROR into the heart of DingoBrained Spruezle...... :o

My biggest prayer - to have a meaningful (at least semi) job at which I excel. NOt even a CAREER for pete's sake, just something decent and tolerable about which I feel good. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

carry on sillies.......todya is Last of the Mojitos party at 4 - a few gals and Janie coming over - they have to be gone so I can watch olympics w/ Weezee :lol: See you guys this aft? ;)

Ok sillies....listen to this Serious funny of the day.

Remember in my wedding party I had John's sister? She was pregnant, had the baby in Feb? Ok well she was engaged and they finally set the date. It was on her myspace page today. There was also a link to their knot wedding page. So i click on it and it has the bridal party listing....and she listed me as a bridesmaid..and a little blurb about how I am her sister in law and she absolutely adores me...mind you guys we rarely even talk but like 10 minutes apart. She never even mentioned the wedding/and or party before....

This is just an all around interesting day....

As an artist, I was SO excited and quite literally mesmerised by the things that unfolded before our eyes. I don't wanna give anything away..... . ...I'll just say this, because our Canadian commentator mentioned it and I'm SO GLAD that he did: when you see things moving, look carefully for the person controlling it - - may not be obvious, but those incredible people are there.....

What phun!

The Ripper is going to his overnight camp on Sunday. I've never seen him so excited about anything...... . even about going to NYC (actually, he was pretty excited about meeting you, Patti....but I think this is an even bigger deal)...... ...

So, while we were sitting here watching TV, Jack suddenly turned to me and asked, "Do the Sillies know that I'm going away to camp?" :lol:

I said that yes, I had mentioned it. He was concerned, however, that you all may not remember exactly when he is going.

So, now everybody knows. Sunday, August 10th, 3 pm. :lol::lol:

Oh Emily--please be sure to tell Jack to have a phabulous time at camp!!!! :D I had such a great time meeting him and talking all about the history and future of Celiac. What a delightful young man--truly :)

So, Sunday's the big day--how long will he be gone?

One week. :) The camp has a website, and they post photos each day. Hopefully there will be a shot or two of Jack, and I'll post them.

John and I are in the midst of the major cleaning since my parents arrive in the morning.....this house is a mess!

Dropping in for a quick visit. I'm current on reading, but don't have much silly in me to share. There is an ancient Chinese curse, I believe, that goes something like, "May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so. :angry:

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. I had some problems with Open Original Shared Link which required minor laser surgery in February of 2004. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. :) (So far, this is the only sign of complications--an enlarged blood vessel in one eye.)

It's a small world. During the exam, I was asking the surgeon if he could recommend someone to examine me for eyeglass prescription. My distance vision is not as good as it once was, and I may soon need glasses to see (I have been using readers for years). He knows nothing about practitioners where we live, but knows the area in Toronto where we have our business. He recommended a practice half a block from our store. He is familiar with the area because he lives in the neighboUrhood. Then the penny drops. He asks me, "You work for XXX, don't you?" I say, yes, my wife and I own the XXX store at (intersection). Turns out his dog has developed food issues, and he has to buy an expensive non-allergenic food, and the vet told him to go to XXX. He remembered buying food from there recently, and described the person from whom he bought the food--Jacquie.

So, when I got to the store later, I told Jacquie that I would be seeing Dr. K in another year, if not sooner. She asked, why sooner. I said, why are you seeing the doctor and not telling me. She looked, and sure enough, the computer had a record of Dr K buying food and being served by her.

Having one of us in the store all day every day is still the routine, but we have three people in training a the moment so there is a light at the end of the tunnel (I hope it is not the headlight of an incoming train :rolleyes: ).

Dear Everyone,

I just wanted to "poop" in and say hello! :) I have not been on here in so long! It has been difficult to be on the computer at all lately. Our power went out five times during the past seven days! :angry: With as much as they charge, the very least the electric company could do is keep the freakin' electricity on!

I wanted to share my good news with you all. Mom got me a bunny! :) He is so adorable! Boomer is his name. That is him in my avatar. I have only had him since Sunday, and he is already spoiled! :lol:

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. How is Amanda's husband doing? The last I was on here, he had just lost his friend in a car wreck and was severely depressed. I hope he is doing better. Such things are difficult to recover from. I have some great things I got in e-mail that I will try to post soon for everyone.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Marky0320 · Posted

      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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @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?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By NightRaven92 · Posted

      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..
