That's right people.........the stinkin' weather man said SNOW!!!!!

It isn't supposed to accumulate or stick. However even the sight of snow means that real snow is on the way someday soon. It will be cold and slick and burrrrrr did I say cold??!!!

Snow is beautiful if you can stay inside until it melts. UGH!!

Oh, stop yer complainin! LOL! :lol:

We had our first snowfall before Halloween, and it hasn't left. Got a lot of snow over the last couple of days, and even after using the snowblower yesterday, we still had deep drifts and had to shovel the walk and (long) driveway again today! Got to a high of -8C today...should warm up to 2C tomorrow. Ugh...6 more months of this to go!

Sneak off to bed early and cuddle. ;)

That's a good argument if you live in Calgary (it was really nice being close to Banff when I lived there,) but the argument doesn't work for those of us in the Edmonton area...we're 4 hours away from the nearest mountains!

Well I guess there are a slightfew who love winter******************Living up in the north forty would be wonderful except I don't like the many hours of darkness... We enjoyed our 12,755 mile vacation to Banff ,Kluane Lake then to Alaska for the summer a year ago that we are planning on a return trip in 09.....Would love to see the northern lights....

To all the canadian friends I hope you enjoy the miracle of winter! It's gonna happen no matter what so you might as well enjoy it......

I love it when there are those huge, beautiful snowflakes, and they're coming down especially in a parking lot, because the lights just highlight their shapes. Of course, where I live, the snow is usually gone the next day -- or replaced by ice. But hey, for one brief shining moment there was Camelot!!!!! (tried to Google if that's right, but got tired of looking!)

Visiting Banff and Jasper is great. Living with 6 months of winter just isn't postcard picture perfect, and hard to enjoy when it's -30C and you still have to get the kids to school, go to work, etc. :P

The hours of darkness in the winter are depressing too, but, where I live, we get many hours of sunlight in the summer months...At the peak, it's light at 5am and not dark until close to 11pm.

I thought you were in Calgary, Carrie. Where are you located now?

The Edmonton area has had snow since before Halloween. Unfortunately, the blanket of snow is now dirty with gravel and salt from the roads, and my clothes keep getting dirty from leaning into the car to buckle my kids up! :rolleyes:

I'm in a small town about 2.5 hours north of Edmonton. So we've had similar weather to you!

Dave mowed our grass on Friday, I think it was. Every year we wonder if we'll have a White Christmas. It's been quite awhile. I WANT SNOW!!!!! Lots of it -- like when I was a kid -- and we would get to go sledding . . .

This is great -- when my kids were younger, it snowed, and I said that I knew of a hill that we could go to that was PERFECT -- and no one really knew about it! So, I pack up everything, and we head out . . . . about 20 minutes into our play, my father shows up -- with the thermos in hand. And a bag of mini marshmallows. When I was a kid, he would always make sure that we had hot chocolate whenever we went sledding or ice skating. Wasn't that sweet? It made me cry.

I'm trying to figure out a way to put rudders on my wheelchair -- I think I have a plan, although I MAY have to invest in a seat-belt for my chair! If you guys thought they got out of the way for me in Vegas when I was tipsy, just imagine me on a sledding hill in a rigged wheelchair! HA! :lol::lol::lol::lol::D

      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

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). 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.
