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.

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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
