Our daughter, in Lafayette, got her power back last night and never lost water or sewage at all. They did get a lot of wind damage in the area, but none to her apartment complex.

So glad you are doing OK

My friends are in Lafayette so happy to hear this also

Thanks Judy

I.K.E......Corrumba!! He is already a Cat.3 and nothing but warm open water to let him get stronger. Aiming directly for Florida.....so I am watching closely to see what this B*s*t*rd is going to do. :angry:

I'll let you know when they get back to 'normal' after Katrina! :rolleyes:

We are really fine, only very minor wind damage.

Last night we had another scare with all of the flash flooding and tornado warnings in the area. A tornado hit just north of here and there was an an emergency evac of a neighboring town, due to flash flooding. These rain bands won't go away and rivers and bayous were topping over.

On a more disgusting note.......The worst things are that we still can't bathe, wash clothes, do dishes or flush (the last being #1 on the list.)

We can flush! Perfect timing, too. I ate some hummus that had 'natural flavors' in it. I am so good about things like that, I must've skipped right over it when I read the ingredients. Boy am I paying for it now. All 10 people here (we are my family's evacuation shelter) have been super careful not to cc me and I did it to myself!

Thank goodness we can flush, bathe etc. We have been washing clothes and dishes all day!

My sister and my brother (plus my sis-in-law and their two kids) just found out their power, water and sewage are back up, so they will clear out tomorrow morning. My parents still do not have power or phones, so they'll be here a while longer.

Oh and, what the bleep is Ike doing?????

Hanna's eye just passed here. It's blowing like a son-of-a-gun with Soundside flooding.

I'm not looking forward to the yard clean-up in 98% humidity. :angry:

We're in CT, waiting for the bloody MONSOON they've been promising. It's rather sunny out, actually, although abysmally humid and hot. I guess it's coming a day or so later than they thought. Freaking weatherpeople. The only profession on earth where you get to be wrong all the time and they still pay you.

Hey, cut the weatherman some slack --- he's also got the only job where you try to predict the unpredictable. :D

Stockbroker's do the same thing. Imagine if they were wrong as often?

It's easy to be a weatherman in New Orleans in the summer. Every day is the same. Hot, 100% humidity and 75% chance of afternoon showers. In September it's exactly the same, but add in....and a 50% chance of hurricane force winds along with flash flooding.

Still watching Ike.....they have a guesstimated track....but these devils have been known to do some crazy things.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
