New av! Cropped from a group photo that WardGirl took this afternoon. The only thing wrong with our get-together was that it was much too short. :(

Em, I found the answer to your technical question, and will send you a PM with the explanation tomorrow. In the meantime, don't lose the place cover. :ph34r:

<sadly shaking head> Moving from Monterey (& of course, mere minutes from Grande South) was purely medical necessity tweren't it? :(

You know, whenever I know that sillies are gathering (ALWAYS seems to be East Coast-ish or Canada <_< )

I have this curious, bittersweet mixture of pure joy with......stabbing jealousy and envy :lol:

Dang .. ..wish I'd been feeling better that day in Feb or March when you were in Willow Glen & I was bowing out.

Forgetting whether you even had time.

How long is the drive to Toronto? and......more importantly..............HOW MUCH WHINING can I Annie take on a long car ride?????????

Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . who's whining?? Suezee or Weezle?

Drat! . .. .Gian-knit beat me to it . .. .

Yet I persist

[Oooo that's like yeti-purse is-t_____ .. . .tuh ... .tuh .. ...taffeta?

Yeti purses twist?]

D'oh . ..what was I gonna say about the whining?

At Tjoe's right now .. ...wtf's w/ THREE distinct new varieties of chocolate cereal!???

Psummer Olympics!!!!!

Super Weezle cracks me up!!!

And I see Lisa B pooped in!!!!

Indeed, I ABSOLUTELY know dear Suzee that I could nae drag yer away from one of THE most beautiful places on Earth.

Mygawd!!!....unfortunately no sightings of any men in kilts <_< harumph!!!.....which is a shame but mebee for the best (be still my beating heart!)......the accent alone is enough to tranfix you.

The whole place has a mystical/magical feel to it, mother nature at her best, the stunning stone architecture, the history etc etc <stop me if I'm boring you>

We stayed in a wee village called Nairn about 20 miles out Inverness ('Inver'=Rivermouth).....about 10 miles from the site of the Open Original Shared Link

The weather is WEVVAH there!!........ as you drive through the mountains the temperature suddenly drops below freezing dramatically and you in the middle of a snow storm....and then it's gone within minutes.

The sun always manages to shine (but yer need yer polar fleece under yer coat!)

Everywhere is water, pure clean springs, rivers, lochs

Welcome back Nik, and pinch punch right back at ya!!!!

So glad your Scottish jaunt was phab, it sounds sooooo luurvely and like a place I must visit tout suite!! Or at least someday, one can dream! :dreamyface:

Just to remind everyone (and make you all jealous) . . . me family is still planning a trip to Washington State for Spring Break . . . part of the time to be spent in Seattle. Besides Jess, doesn't Colleen (CruelShoes) live out that way, too??

A Seattle Summit! There are a few OMG posters from WA

A great dance last night. We were truly tribal, complete with huge feathered headdresses and nose rings....war paint .. . . . .beads and neck rings. .. . .....

I said it before and I'll say it again the reduction of our emotiquota BLOWS!!!!!!! I am constantly busted and it is so frustrating. Not only do you have to edit your own, but you have to edit all the posts you quoted.....BIG SIGH

Darn210 Enthusiast

Julie said *BLOWS* . . . :o . . . :lol::lol:

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Thanks Julie and Janet

Appreciate the thoughts.

We live in such a amazing neighborhood.

All ages and ethic backgrounds.........it's like a little community of only 73 houses.

This couple were married 62 years.......and 10 months... as the hubby said the day we went down.

All the grown children and grandchildren couldn't believe how the neighbors have rallied around them.

It's a very long story surrounding her sudden passing but all the neighbors have been just wonderful.

I'm blessed to live in such a nice place where they really care deeply about each other and are there the second someone needs anything. Rare in this day and age.

I take great strength in seeing this. Still no 'silly' in me but am finding some 'joyfull blessings' so will take that for now.

Amanda, how did the house look once you got there

Thanks for the up date on Jen's mom.

Hi Sillies-

I must call in another favor in the prayer department. I am currently gathering my thoughts and I am rushing home to my parents. My father was rushed to the hospital a little while ago for shortness of breath and chest pains....I got the news and was on my way to see the house. While touring the house- I had such bad panic attacks I almost had an accident..."D".....:( Anyway even though my dad has said not to come I am still going.... I am leaving in a little while- I need my stomach to calm down before I head anywhere....

The house was beautiful possible purchase coming too....:):)

This weekend has been hell!!!! What is happening to all our loved ones? First Jen's mom and now my dad......

Oh sillies tis terrible, I actually walked through my possible new home and I was crying nearly the whole time. Then the sickness came on and it is just overwhelming....

So I am signing off and I will check in when I get achance. Bye everyone!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
    • Bev in Milw
      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products 
    • JForman
      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
