My daughter just turned me on to Google Earth. You can take a virtual tour anywhere on this whole planet.

I am having problems focusing into neighborhoods and houses. Has anyone else enjoyed Google Earth.

It's really fun! We're looking for a new house and it's so much fun to plug in the address and see exactly where the house is before driving to look at it. (One house that looked great on paper was right next to railroad tracks - thanks to Google Earth we saved an hour round trip drive.)

Carla, after I pull it on to my house, how do you focus. I haven't figured it out yet? <_<

I'm not Carla, but I know how to do it with my mouse. Do you have the little scroll-thingy on your mouse? (You know, that you can scroll up and down the page with). Use it and it will zoom in and out.

It will zoom in and out, but it will not focus very clearly. What I have been told is that it's for privacy reasons, or something like that. If you're a conspiricy theorist, you might say it's because the gov. doesn't want you to know how clearly they can focus in on us! :P

I love Google Earth! I can remember when I got hooked on it last year, I posted something about it.

I particularly enjoy looking at the pyramids in Egypt and you would be amazed at how clear Manhattan comes in - right down to the cars in the intersection!

I LOVE Google Earth!! It is really neat. In NY, you can even see people! Some places don't come in clear because they only take good pics of big citys. But now Mapquest has real pics of places, and they are better than Google earth sometimes! I actually found my house on Mapquest and it was a blur on Google Earth. And the pic of our old home is still on there, even though it has been gone for almost 4 yrs.Some google earth pics are really old.

Google Earth has been one of my favorites for about a year, too! As someone said, some areas have better quality photos. Try going to the Grand Canyon....if you set the view right, you can zoom down into the canyon and then fly through...so cool!

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
