    I just got a reply from customer service about the ad. Whoever thought it was hair wins! I lose!

    haha, I think it's funny when people call me silly. Her skin looks too dark on her hand. In any case, you're probably right because her hair that's flowing looks too much like Caucasian hair. But, I still don't think it's hair, it's too low to be the other pony tail. lol

    What is ostentation? All I can think of is Great Expectations with Miss Havisham in that massive house. Oh, oil country. We often visit Williamsport PA, which is a booming city anyway, only booming even more because of oil. Our town used to thrive because of oil wells decades ago. If they ever make it back up this way, I can't even imagine what my little...

    I would love to teach a cooking class! Wow, that would be fun. I wouldn't want to live or even clean a mansion, I would get lost in it and I would feel so lonely! My friend charges $15/hr Like I said, we live in Western NY, jobs are kinda scarce and the poverty level is kinda high around here.

    I was thinking about doing this once a week just to make a little chump change. I don't have to work because my hubs makes plenty and we have a business. I have a friend who cleans houses in a couple towns over. She also cleans a bank. I think she makes decent money. I haven't asked her how much she makes, but I have thought about it. She told me about...

    Do you know how long I have been trying to figure this out? Every time I see the ad, I still try to figure it out. I don't think it's the person's pony tail. Don't know what it could be. I do want to know what it really is though! I'm weird and want to find things like that out, even if it takes contacting the company, lol. It can't be a red head, she has...

    Period still didn't show, but test was negative....hmm...maybe I'll wait a week or so. Bubba's Mom, mine are rather tender...who knows though, maybe I'm looking for it too much!

    How about Baconnaise? They sell this at the grocery store I shop at most often. Thinking about trying it...I love mayo though!

    Just had minute rice cup (brown and wild) with some Dr McDouglas vegetable soup over it. Very easy lunch, would be great for on the go. For dinner I'm going to fix myself a green salad with turkey, cranberries, feta cheese, and walnuts with a raspberry vinaigrette. My favorite kind of salad.

    Oh man, The Betty Crocker yellow cake mix is to die for! It's so good and I can't believe it's gluten free! I just bought two boxes of the devils food mix to make for my husband when he gets back from India on Friday (He's not gluten-free but, he really enjoys the gluten-free food I make)

    Just wondering if anyone is trying this month and/or are thinking they're pregnant? I got my period on the 15th in March, it's a day late, but I could be a little too excited and maybe it'll show up in a day or so. I did buy a box of three tests though. I don't think it's coincidence that my period was right on the dot last month after being gluten-free...

    Thank you for giving me the wealth of information! We talked for 20 minutes on the phone and he called at 7:15 this evening. I wish everyone could have him as a doctor. He did say that there are false positives for every test, that's just the way things are.
  13. JoyfulGF
    Dr. Awesome called me tonight. He definitely thinks that I shouldn't go back to eating gluten, unless I absolutely want to (and I don't) Anyway, he also said basically what you said Skylark about the lactose intolerance and Celiac, two different things. Skylark, here's your stamp of approval for glutenologist!
  14. JoyfulGF
    Oh ok, it's starting to make sense now. The fact that it's an auto-immune response as opposed to the undigested sugar makes a ton of sense! Thank you Skylark for being patient with me and explaining everything!
  15. JoyfulGF
    That does make sense, it's just a little whacked if you ask me because, like you said, they lose sensitivity and their false negative rate goes up. I never talked to my doc about doing a biopsy...don't really want to just because it seems like this is what the problem is and I don't need a biopsy to let me know I can feel better with a gluten free diet...
  16. JoyfulGF
    How come those who are lactose intolerant can consume raw organic milk from grass fed cows? Lactose is a protein and so is gluten. Just trying to understand
  17. JoyfulGF
    I was talking to a friend today about my bloodwork from a celiac test being a false positive. She and her husband own an organic dairy farm. She's purchased some wheat berries from a trusted organic farmer and she then grounds her own flour to make bread. She suggested that in a year or so that I try the bread because the false positive may be the cause ...
  18. JoyfulGF
    So confusing! I am definitely going to stay gluten-free, no doubt about it....I would be stupid not to. Thanks for the encouragement!
  19. JoyfulGF
    About labs re-evaluating the range....why aren't all labs the same and why don't they stick to the same every time? I'm so glad that it was a weak positive when it was, I would be so confused...We're praying for that little one! My husband is in India right now and will be home in a week, my period was due today and she didn't show! :)
  20. JoyfulGF
    My really great Doc called me today and said that the lab which did my bloodwork contacted his office and let him know that the test was too sensitive and because my results were a very weak positive that it leads the lab to believe that my results are now actually a false positive. What in the world? I do not understand that one bit! How can a test be done...

    My husband and I go through phases where I just want to go out to eat and he doesn't (for a week or two) and then we'll switch, he'll want to and I won't. Usually our dinner dates consist of McDonald's (I know, I know, really bad) where I get two large fries and a shake of some sort. Or chinese. The owners at the chinese place treat us like family so they...

    Thanks love2! Most of the restaurants I patronize are quick, easy, and very casual. It seems unnecessary to call but, I am going to be handing out the dining cards more often. I haven't gone out to eat in more than a week. My husband and I will be taking a trip to Florida in July and Connecticut in November. I've done my own dining cards on the computer...
  23. JoyfulGF
    Also wanted to ask what others do when they're out to eat. Do you ask to talk to the chef/kitchen manager? Do you give them or the waitress a dining out card with instructions on it? I'm so timid when it comes to this, and like I said above, I have no idea why. I guess I just don't like being a bother. I'm going out to lunch tomorrow with a friend. I'll...
  24. JoyfulGF
    Thank you sreese! Great resources! I need to be more serious about making sure that everyone that comes in contact with my meals, know that I cannot have any gluten. I'm a little timid...not sure why.
  25. JoyfulGF
    Does anyone know where I can get cards with information on them to give to waitresses at restaurants when I'm out to eat? I could have sworn I heard about these informational cards you hand to the waitress that has a list of ingredients that contain gluten, so that they don't have to question whether or not the gravy for the turkey could possible contain...
