Townspeople of Rachelville.................................I need your help!!

I have a job interview Monday and I'm nervous. They just called and set up an interview.

What I need from you is to "Say a little prayer for me" (sings the song from My Best Friends wedding) I have been praying and praying that I find a job. I keep telling God that if this is the job that I am supposed to have then please help me get it. So if you don't mind......... :D

It is for teaching Kindergarten................*sigh* I'm totally going to freak out until Monday.

-Jessica :rolleyes:

Karen,

You aren't any older than most of us here. I don't remember what decade roller derby was popular but I do know about it.

Karen,

I'm pretty sure roller derby was the 70's

For some reason it reminds me of that song by the Bay City Rollers,

S, A, T, U, R, D, A, Y....NIGHTS!!!!

Karen, roller derby would be a fun way to work out our agressions due to our health issues, much like my punching bag :lol::lol:

Jessica, I will be thinking good thoughts for you!!! Best of luck with the interview and keep us posted how it goes :)

I took ice skating lessons in the 70s when it was really popular then, around the time of Dorothy Hammill (sp?) and the movie Ice Castles, LOVED that movie. :

I loved Ice Castles too. Did you ever see The Cutting Edge? I liked that one too, especially the end skating sequence.

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE (Melissa Manchester)

Please, don't let this feeling end,

It's ev'rything I am,

Ev'rything I wanna be;

I can see what's mine now,

Finding out what's true,

Since I've found you

Lookin' through the eyes of love

Now I can take the time,

I can see my life

As it comes on shining now;

Reachin' out to touch you,

I can feel so much,

Since I've found you

Lookin' through the eyes of love.

And now I do believe,

That even in a storm, we'll find some light;

Knowin' you're beside me,

I'm alright.

Please, don't let this feelin' end,

It might not come again;

And I want to remember

How it feels to touch you;

How I feel so much,

Since I've found you

Lookin' through the eyes of love.

A couple of years ago, I decided to "re-learn" to skate so I could mess around with Walker at the rink and help him learn to skate. Before I decided I'd get a stick and try to play hockey with him, I was at the sporting goods shop and I asked the fella if I should get hockey skates or figure skates.

Him: If you want to fall on your face - get figure skates, if you want to fall on your a$$ get hockey skates.

Me: Hockey skates it is!

We had a parents vs. kids hockey game last March and I had a blast! Too bad I can only turn to the left, can't skate backwards and use the boards to stop or I'd go to the women's shinny at our rink. Now Ty's signed up for hockey too. I can hardly wait. He's so little the equipment will outweigh him. Evaluations start Sept. 6th. :blink:

Too true!!!

When I took lessons as a kid, I had constant bruises on my knees and hips from falling on turns, jumps, etc. I only got far enough along to do a single axle though :rolleyes:

One of the first things I learned in skating was the hockey stop, so that we could spray the boys with ice :P

Much more fun than a boring and slow t-stop...and you get some awesome ice off of those sharp figure skates ;)

That's so awesome about Ty!!!

It IS addictive.

Just so you all know, I got the news yesterday that I am going to GREENLAND next summer.

I will be there for about a year, leaving the wife and kids behind here in Saskatchewan. They inform me that my diet is not a problem (which makes me VERY happy). I don't have much in the way of final details right now, but will post them as I know.

Back to the conversation at hand -- I have not been roller skating in some time. I grew up in a city of 750K people, and we only had 1 rink (not very popular I guess). I miss it, but would not remember how to skate at all.

Gotta run. Talk to you all soon!

We got our 6 year old some roller skates for her birthday. She loved them! We probably don't get out there & roller skate as often as we should but when she does she has so much fun.

Well, hubby and I were on a business trip (everything was free for us, the manufacturer paid for all our food, company paid for Adam's plane tickets and hotel). I did not gamble, but spent my $ on jeans!! I said that I'd rather something to show for what I would have lost anyway!! <_< That is the same trip where we went to see Aerosmith ... the jeans were cheap compared to the concert tickets! Okay, it was a splurge, but it's been a long time since hubby and I were anywhere minus kids ... problem is, once you wear expensive jeans ... ugh. And Guess jeans are made for those of us who end up as thin as a rail!!

Congratulations, Ryan.

Chelsea, we need a pic of the new color!

Well, gotta run. Sorry I didn't read everything in detail ... I have much more energy today, so I think I'm finally beating this virus.

Have a great day! I miss Rachelville! Morgan says hello and she might get on for a while.

Jenny,

Welcome! :D

Would you just like to be a "visitor" or would you like a job (application on page 1) and to become a "resident" of our paradise community? We would need to know your interests/hobbies to be able to better place you if you'd like to be a "resident". :P

Ryan that's great! I know you wanted this post. So in about 1 1/2 you get to go to Colorado Springs? Was that it? I know it was a Springs. :P It's great that the diet won't be a problem. I second Patti, how is the family taking this?

Carla, so good to hear you are feeling better. It seems like a lot have been down this week with various things. :(

Morgan I see you. Good morning. :P

Linda, this sounds like so much fun!!! I want to learn how to skate now. Sounds like hockey skates are the way to go.....and lots of padding :lol:

Ryan, CONGRATULATIONS!! Great news, so happy for you!

Hi Carla and Morgan, miss you guys! Get back to Rachelville soon :)

You know what would be so much fun? If we all got together for a big Rachelville party and go roller skating. I think that would be a blast.

Good morning Andrea, how are you and the kids??

So anyone have any good plans for the weekend?

We are supposed to go racing but it is 40% chance of rain. That is no fun at all.

I guess we might go antique shopping or something like that if it does rain.

I don't really have any big plans yet. I will go to a pilates class on Sat and yoga on Sun so far....maybe go look at some model homes for decorating ideas.

Antique shopping sounds fun SusanW, are you looking for anything particular??

No, it is just something I like to do. I never really know what I'm looking for until I find it.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
