Good googly moogly gosh-I am gone for a few hours and The Dave is half naked (I even did an f5 and didn't SEE it, lol), drive by postings, everyone else asleep :blink: I am on daylight savings time too, but have insomnia quite alot.

Andrea, when do you sleep, girl! I meant to mention before, but my dh's grandmother was named Talitha. I never knew another. I love Biblical names, too.

Hey, The Dave, so, you work with Rachel? What exactly do you do? Is there a Mrs. Village Idiot? Tell us more about yourself. What are your hobbies? Do you by any chance make scrunchies or bracelets? Enquiring minds want to know, lol :P

Haha... Yea we work together. What exactly do I do....not much honestly :D No Mrs. Village Idiot, I'm not quite ready for that yet.... give it a few more years... :D Hobbies.....hmm, I recently bought a house so sometimes I do work around the house....it wasn't in the best shape (still isn't), but it's getting better. I make scrunchies by the hundreds.....j/k

Yea not too exciting.... got 2 puppies on Sunday though! Very cute...10 weeks old, brother/sister, Golden Retrievers! No pictures on the computer yet :(

How about you? Insomniac huh? where abouts are you??

Hey Robbin,

It's great to see you this late.

I usually head off sometime between 10:30 and 11:30 and don't get up until 7:30 or 8:00. Kids don't get up until between 7-8. I'm one of those that like to sleep my 8 hours. Kids names...Talitha, Micah and Seth....all bible names.

Don't I wish. He gets paid by the mile. I'm one the phone with him now. He's about 2 hours away and waiting for another truck to get loaded, then he'll be on his way home. It'll be about midnight before he gets home and then he's out the door around 5 if not earlier.

Crazy.... I couldn't cope with that much.....well.....or lack of sleep!

Speaking of Bible names, I'm one of four boys, David, Elliot, Noah and Sam.

Not really on purpose though.... go figure :rolleyes:

Pictures.....I demand pictures. Retrievers are my favorite, either golden or labrador.

I expect those up pronto. :D

Is Sam short for Samuel? Are you the oldest?

I only have one brother 5 years older. Mitch has 1 brother and 3 sisters. He's the 2nd born.

Meredith,

I see you. Hey, what time and day is it down under? It's 9:30 our time (pacific).

Hey Rachel,

You made it back from the dangerous food zone. Are you in one piece?

:) Hi Judy, I see you :) .

I am in the great state of Virginia. Near that "other president's place" ! I have a golden retriever too. Six years old, lazy as heck, BabyRuth. You do home remodeling?! A lot of us on here are Home Depot and Lowes addicts!! We have those in R'ville!! Did you not read the ENTIRE thread?! That is a requirement, btw. (only kidding, lol)

Andrea, married to a truck driver is like being married to a dr. That has to be hard. My dh is gone at 7:30 am and home at 7 pm. Long commute to DC area (50miles one way) so, I don't see much of him either. Weekends are usually busy cramming in as much family time as possible since Ds is of the age that he will not want to be seen with us next year. Almost to that now, lol.

I will be leaving on Thursday early in the morning to go visit OH so I will not be officially missing-just miserable traveling. Will be back Sunday night. I will check in, though as much as possible-I do not want to have to read 100 pages to catch up!!

So, Dave, what are the puppies' names and what color are they? I have a red golden. She looks like Duke the Bush bean dog on the commercials. We call him her boyfriend 'cause she always watches those commercials closely. She is my dog daughter. I also have a cat daughter, Chessie and a cat son, Tom J..

Oh, and I do have two sons, lol can't forget the princes :)

I also have a golden, Buddy. Dopiest dogs around. This is our third golden, wouldn't buy any other kind of dog.....

Buddie is the english style golden retriever - very light blonde. Our first and second goldens were the American style goldens (the redder kind). The reason that the english style goldens are lighter is because they were bred with Great Pyrenese waaaaay back and the reason the American style goldens are darker is they were bred with the irish setters waaaaaaay back when. At least that's what I was told......

You have a few acronyms I don't know... dh, and ds.... It sounded like dh was your husband....or maybe..... Designated Husband.....

Kind of like a Designated Hitter or Pinch Hitter?

Puppies names....my roomate named the girl Pumpkin (they are orange/reddish), the boy I am still yet to name...thinking...haven't decided....

That's interesting Karen,

I used to have a lab/retriever mix. He was great. I gave him up to move into town many years ago. He was trained by my ex boyfriend. When we split....I got the dog. He'd done all the basic work with him so he was a really well behaved dog. The only problem was he loved to jump, pity any child that came near him. He was extremely loveable and exciteable. I'll probably never have a dog like that again, if I even get another one. Where we are now, we can't have pets; and besides the kids are too young.

We got spoiled last week....he was home for dinner 4 out of 5 nights. He's a local delivery driver, so unless they send him down to Southern Oregon he's home every night. Since he's driving maxi now, that probably won't happen. He used to be gone about 1-2 times a month. I drive on the weekends to give him a break. :P

Celbrity sigtings....did I miss something? Did she see someone last time?

I have worked at like 7 different stores and the only people I ever see are sports stars... like half the old school 49ers team....Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott's wife used to shop in Saratoga regularly....etc....I wish I got to see celebs though...how fun!

When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?
