Violin; I've been playing for about 15 years. I started when I was tiny :)

Fun. I bet you're really good! I play flute ... but just with the Church choir and the community band. I played from 5th grade through high school, then didn't touch it for 23 years! I started playing again a couple years ago. It's fun.

It always feels weird and so conceited saying this, but yeah, I am good :) At the moment I'm a bit rusty, I've been working on a Concerto by Saint-Saens but haven't been practicing as regularly as I should.

My mum plays flute, she gets it out once a year because this local choir always asks her to help w/their christmas concert. The rest of the year she doesn't touch it (she's also a fabulous pianist, nice to have a "built in" accompanist ;))

Anyways, I'm off to go pick up my brother from school (my real brother, he's 5yo and also adorable :D)

Humility is having a good understanding of both what you're good at and what you're bad at. It would be false humility if you acted as if you were bad, but you were really good. It's true humility that you recognize you are good, but are modest enough to be shy about saying it. :)

I'm sure your bit rusty is still pretty darn good!! ;)

Do the happy-fridge-is-coming-this-A.M-dance!

I can't wait to get this fridge in may house! It's like a monsoon here right now, and the guy is supposed to brin gthe fridge "around 10" :huh: It has to come up about 15 steps before it gets inside, so I'm not exactly thrilled with the weather :(

Olivia was sick to her stomach last night, so none of us got too much sleep. Unfortunately I need to be at a "study abroad fair" that I helped organize, so no staying home to catch up -_-

I missed most of LOST last night too :(

Why do I have the feeling that the fridge isn't going to fit in the front door without cutting it in half?

Time to light the incense and dance around the Barbies (not recommended at work, but these are desperate times) :huh:

It'll fit. They have to be able to get those refrigerators in standard size doors, right?

I hope your wife likes it, too.

I'm sure it will fit...I just don't deal well with the aggrevation this sort of stuff brings...Like when I ordered the darn thing. It should have taken 20 minutes, but ended up almost 2 hrs...I'm sure I'll have a story later on :)

The Fridge is in and chillin'!

Some random Steve delivered it- without incident :)

It is BIG, and my kitchen is small. It sticks out obout 6" in front of the counter, so it's like you have to walk around the fridge to get anywhere (galley kitchen). I'm sure I'll get used to it, I can't wait for the missus' first impressions when I get home. (hopefully her first impression won't be made on my forehead via freezer door :P )

All this talk of Steve(s) got me thinking- poll time, who's your favorite Steve. Then I realized gfp would win in a landslide, so...

Who's your favorite Barry?

(feel free to submit your vote with a convincing picture)

My top 5 (in no particular order):

Barry White http://www.comicgenius.com/DiscoFever/imag...arry_white1.webp (the best of the Barrys)

Barry Manilow http://www.erikgrow.com/Birth/Images/manilow.webp (still looking for his "good" side)

Barry Williams http://www.weht.net/pics/barry.webp (rapping...the real Greg Brady...)

Barry Bonds http://www.funnyhub.com/pictures/img/barry-bonds-in-drag.webp (speaks for itself)

Barry Pepper http://www.creamystar.com/actor/barry_pepp...y_pepper_01.webp (a.k.a. uber-Barry my favorite of the acting Barrys - loved him in Saving Private Ryan)

I know, of all the Barrys, why did he have to be the first to go?

Is he still with us?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now. We had been putting Vaseline on the blisters and lidocaine cream and he was prescribed an antiviral. Also he still has the nerve pain it was bad and is getting better it is his upper left torso. His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every...

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.
