Went to San Francisco yesterday, boy was it a mob scene. I guess it was fleet week. I went with my mom and brother to meet a cousin I hadn't seen since we were kids. Had a great time.

What are bumble bars? ;)

Hi Julie! I see you posting!

Hello Susan: I see you lurking!!!!

Hi Liz

Hi Robbin

Where is everyone tonight?

I know, it does seem rather quiet tonight, all day actually.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am watching the game.

What is fleet week, must fill me in.....

Wow, it is quiet!

I'm just getting ready to go for a walk with my daughter. We're taking a flashlight because we keep seeing coyotes in our neighborhood. I think they want our puppy for dinner, so we won't take him. I love crisp, fall evenings. You all must live east of here, since it's just getting to be evening here now.

Andrea - an off the wall question. Is Lingonberries Market worth a drive from Federal Way?

Hmmm, well that would depend on what you are looking for. They sell all sorts of brands.....namaste, gluten-free bakery, kinnikinnick, amy's, etc. I really don't know all the brands.

They carry frozen kinnikinnick, enjoy life, food for life, amy's, rice dream desserts, ians' (is that the gluten free brand), frozen salmon burgers (forget brand), applegate hotdogs, frozen fruit (I think)....I don't remember everything.

Many flour mixes etc, dessert mixes, vance's darifree, cereal, gluten-free oats, muir glen tomatoes, tinkyada and other pastas, some soups, bars (like lara and bumble etc.), cookies, chips, chocolate, some freeda vitamins, the flavorings for coffee, latte's etc, canned beans, other houshold products (but I forget what they are).

Anyway, with the cost of gas it would depend on what you needed/wanted that you couldn't find up there. He's willing to try and get whatever you want. I asked him to carry 5 lb bags of enjoy life chocolate chips....he just got some in (they won't ship those in the hot weather). I really like the store and the owner is super friendly. Of course, if you come down this way, you could stop off for lunch or something. We are about 1 mile off the freeway....about 1/2 hour north of Lingonberries.

Just got back inside from letting out a few good howls at the moon...... :rolleyes:;)

I better behave for two reasons:

1) I don't have my Altoids - gave them to Mom at the hospital to help her heartburn.

2) I wouldn't want to offend anyone who might faint or swoon at the sight of anything even hinting at racy...

<_<:rolleyes:B)

A BOSS WALKED INTO THE OFFICE ONE MORNING NOT KNOWING THAT HIS ZIPPER

WAS DOWN AND HIS FLY AREA IS WIDE OPEN

HIS SECRETARY WALKED UP TO HIM AND SAID "BOSS THIS MORNING WHEN YOU

LEFT

YOUR HOUSE, DID YOU CLOSE YOUR GARAGE DOOR?"

THIS WAS NOT A PHRASE THAT HER BOSS UNDERSTOOD, SO HE WENT INTO HIS

OFFICE LOOKING A BIT PUZZLED

WHEN HE WAS ABOUT DONE WITH HIS PAPERWORK HE SUDDENLY NOTICED THAT HIS

ZIPPER WAS NOT ZIPPED UP

HE ZIPPED UP AND REMEMBERING WHAT HIS SECRETARY HAS TOLD HIM, FINALLY

UNDERSTOOD . THEN HE INTENTIONALLY WENT OUT TO ASK FOR A CUP OF COFFEE

FROM HIS SECRETARY.

WHEN HE REACHED HER DESK, HE SAID

"WHEN YOU SAW THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN DID YOU SEE MY Hummer PARKED IN

THERE?"

THE SECRETARY SMILED FOR A MOMENT AND SAID "

"NO, SIR I DIDN'T,, ALL I SAW WAS A MINI COOPER WITH 2 FLAT TIRES"

These jokes certainly have me laughing. Thanks :)

lonewolf, I don't know where you live, but you do know that the coyotes can jump an 8" fence. And if they run in packs, they are not afraid of humans and would take your puppy away from you. So, that is great that you left him at home. But, the packs also will run in the daytime, not just at night. We have a pack running about 3 miles from us and since they move around, I am extra cautious when my toy poodle goes out. We have a 6" wall and it would mean nothing if a coyote smelled her scent. But, they beat the small scorpion I found in the hall two days ago. My dog was sniffing at it. Just what I would need is her to get bit by one. She already gets her yearly rattlesnake shot. I still love the desert :)

Hey Metta/Ostrich/Hamster Face: Okay, a bit confoozed here...... why would it be so hard for a coyote to jump a 6" or 8" fence? Are they coyotes from Lilliput? :huh:

Hi Tavi- Hhow are ya? Did you see the Blue Angels in Sf?

Hi Beverly:

Well, I went to San Francisco to see a cousin I hadn't seen in probably 35 years and while we were fisherman's warf the blue angels were flying. It was really beautiful. I had never seen them fly before and it was just amazing watching all they could do!

I know, it does seem rather quiet tonight, all day actually.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am watching the game.

Hi Julie:

Fleet week I think is where they open up all the ships from WWII and people can walk through them. Should of seen all the sailors, although some of them looked to be about 12!

OMG, these are just hilarious. You have me laughing so hard, that my dog is looking at me strangely.

Karen. the coyotes find it easy to jump a fence up to 8' high. And Floridian, Bitsy has not had a snake bite yet, but they have a yearly shot that would prevent her from dying if she got bit and so I spend a fortune for that yearly shot. It would give me time to get her to the vet's. Because of her size, she would not make it otherwise. Rattlesnakes have been found in a couple of the townhomes yards. And she is curious enough to go within striking distance.

BTW, this thread is more funny then the full moon one. I can't believe how you all remember these jokes. Keep them coming. Of course, I am going to bed real soon, but I will read the rest in the morning.

OMG, I guess it is time I was going to bed. An 8" fence would probably be too high for me to jump right now :lol: .

The joke that really had me rolling in the aisles is Pinnochio. I had to leave my beloved computer and go tell hubby that one. Then he had to tell me to stop laughing as he can't hear the football game.

You wouldn't have a problem with the fence - you have ostrich legs, remember? :D:P:lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
