Sorry Morgan. I don't know why I kept thinking you had darker hair. But, I have never seen you with your hair not down. Well, anyway, tell your friend she looks cute in the cap.

oh my god oh my god oh my god!!! :o:angry::o:angry::o:angry:

a dingo is going to DIE.....OMG....it's my fault....OMG......I have been working on a botanical painting, a watercolor of a foxglove from my own garden...years ago....just picked it up again to finish - the fact that I even WANT to paint again is a miracle in itself - it is glorious, if I do say so, and I have spent hundreds of hours on it - - it's the first botanical I've ever done wtihout use of photos for help - - JUST the specimen from garden, a real flower and nothing else......

SO I TOOK IT TO FRAMER TODAY......and....it was on the back seat of the car - before I knew it, my Annie jumped into the car....and trampled on the painting....... :(

oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeee......I am heartsick and you know that feeling when you wish you could just REVERSE THE LAST THREE SECONDS..................... :o

so I almost threw up, was shaking, called the framer, told him what happened - - - they might be able to mount it - - - -

:(:(:(

so now I gotta take these naughty, naughty dingos on a walk, will be back for my glass of wine later........

Annie jumped into the car....and trampled on the painting.......

So sorry to hear of the disaster - after bringing it out, painting again and then wham - disaster strikes. Yikes!

Maybe its way of Annie saying - arent ya glad I'm feeling better? I think it wasnt that long ago when Annie was very sick. Get a slurpee kiss from her and be glad she didnt pee on it too!

If another story or 2 makes you feel better than here goes, real stories from my life as a tech:

Boxer ate the Christmas turkey - hubby had to bring it in cause he wasnt sure dog would make it to the vet alive if wife brought her...a big crowd to feed and no turkey. :blink:

Dog gets sprayed by skunk - dog runs into house and hides in bedroom......same bedroom as wedding dress to be worn by bride in 12 hours....... dog banished to kennel, dress hung outside while bride cries and wants to know if "skunk off" will get odour out. :o:o [skunk off is dog shampoo for moments like that]

I hope framer can save the day

Susan, I am so sorry about the painting. All of your hard work and artistic talent. Maybe now you are suppose to do an even greater painting. Just remember you love your dingos and she did not do it delibertly.

I want to know if the skunk smell came out of the wedding dress?

Richard, I love the puppy peeing on the laptop. They have new laptops that you can spill liquid on the keyboards and I think that puppy owner should get one - he, he.

I am sorry to inject a serious note, but I do not want to start a whole thread for just one question. I had blood drawn a couple of days ago to be rechecked for gluten. If I have been gluten-free for 2 1/2 years, what numbers should my anti-glidian (sp) numbers be? They retested because my neuro problems are kind of getting worse and I am wondering if I have been lax in the gluten-free department and don't know it. So, does anyone know what the number should be? Thanks. I won't know for a couple of weeks.

I don't know numbers, but I know that I am not the same person I was before I got sick, I'm sorry to say.

It's okay to not be the same person ... we are supposed to learn and grow from every trial life brings us ... look for the lesson in it ... what has being sick taught you? I may not be the same person, but overall I'm a better person than I was. I have realized that doing is not as important as being.

Carla:

I understand what you are saying and 100% agree, but I was referring to neuro damage caused by malabsorption before and after my dx.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By oyea · Posted

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      Yes. And then it will become part of her medical record, which was my point.
