After a few days of high 80's and low 90's in PA in October....it is now fall!

Today we are gloomy....but do need the rain so I don't hear too much complaining. The high is in the 50's right now.

It just didn't seem right before when the leaves and turning and falling and we were sweating like crazy.

Is it fall-like at everyone elses homes?

It's been in the low to mid nineties here for days and days, and we've had several record breaking highs lately... but it finally cooled down here today, too. It was about 50 when I took the kids to school, and is supposed to be milder today. The trees haven't really even started turning yet, which is bizarre. My petunias are still growing like crazy, even though we, too need rain desperately... we're in full-out drought status. One of my close neighbors' (actually, they're also my best friend's parents) well has gone dry- which even though they had expected it, and it's an old shallow well.... it makes me exceedingly nervous! :unsure:

I have to agree, the leaves here are not all turning either. There are a lot of green trees yet and it does look weird.

I know we broke a few records this week.

NH has finally found fall for the most part we are a little behind but is chilly drizzly and the leaves are turning I am in central NH so the north is probably in full fall mood now :( I love and dislike fall all at the same time.

I have the love hate relationship as well with fall.

I love how pretty it is, I love the Halloween events, the cool nights when you get that nice breeze through the window

I hate knowing winter is coming, that I have to bundle up to leave my house, it's harder to get out of bed when it is dark and cold, sandals have to be put away, and you never know how long the cold will last in PA...will spring come in April or will it still snow in May :)

I love the apple fests, trips to the pumpkin patch and harvest season....I love Thanksgiving!!!! My favorite holiday.

I hate how Nov, Dec, and Jan are big holiday months but then there are no holidays until the Memorial Day weekend, I hate that it gets dark at 5...I barely get home after work and it feels like 10 at night.

I guess this all sums it up....:)

It's Fall -- I know because the radiators came on this evening. Last week it was something like 87 degrees F., tonight it's more like 47.

Our leaves are usually fully red and orange by now up here, but it is very late this year. And we, too, have had a wonderfully warm September and October (high 70's). But it's comin'...... :(

I only wish that our leaves on the trees here in Texas turned like they do up North. Our leaves turn from green to maybe red and then brown. Not the gorgous colors that ya'll have. It has been in the mid 90's to low 80's here I am still wareing my shorts. my daughter did have to ware a jacket on morning last week but it did get warm quickly. We are getting rain right now, but that is only because Mother Nature is upset about the Dallas Cowboys loss :angry: Those stupid cowgirls

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
