Sillies- I am here at work again--feels like I was just here! Weekends should be 3 days! Oh Queen can we arrange something?

You want an 8 day week?????.......Don't think I got clearance to do that.

Oh.....and by the way......killing cactus?.....child's play, dearie. Ain't nothin I can't kill! :P

'Sorry, this video is no longer available' :angry:

WHAT in hell was it???.... a slingshot or summat????? :unsure::lol:

:P You were reading my mind! After watching it I thought, Hmmmmmmm....a slingshot would be better ;) So I googled, but none of the human slingshots would actually let the person go! <_< What'sup with that????

Two days ago, our dryer would not drain....it was half-full of water until DH banged around down there for a hour or so, and then it finally emptied.

:huh:

:blink:

I think I know the problem..........that's not a dryer......it's a washing machine! :P .................why do you have water in your dryer? :unsure:

:lol: ....Mrs. H........for a minute I was thinkin....who put me on youtube????

Well, some good news. And hello :)

Wellllllll......look what the cat dragged in! Good to see you Ryan! :D......and if anyone needs a summary, you'll hafta talk to Ptaughmnus!

Me cold is still hangin on, but am able to go without the decorative accessory of tissue (TP, actually), shoved up the nose, so I'm making a little progress.

Tinkerbell looked at me quite strangely last night while getting comfy on me chest.......

^^

:huh:

:lol::lol: Oh, Leeeeesar! Man, of course! I just knew there was something substantially wrong with the whole situation.......bien sur.......water goes through the washer.. . . . . .. I shouldn't have ANY water AT ALL in me dryer!

Hell, it's much worse than I thought!

:huh:

:lol:

I have early childhood memories of my mom sitting by the pool, or working in the kitchen, or out puttering in the yard, with two small pieces of toilet paper rolled up and stuck into each nostril.. . . . . . . she apparently had a lot of nosebleeds. This was one of those now bizarre but at the time completely normal pictures that appeared constantly through my childhood. In fact, she would show up for parent-teacher interviews at my school and I would say, "Mom! Where's yer kleenex?"....I suppose those pieces of tissue completed her.. . . . . . . . :huh::rolleyes:

Anyways, Leeesar.......is this the type of tissue accessory to which you are referring?

Dunno if anyone could pull them off like me mom. . . . . . . . . :lol:

Even better.......for the total effect you need to take the entire tissue (or 2-3 squares of TP), loosely wad up one end, shove it up yer nose, letting the rest hang down to yer chin. :lol:

Not only does it allow for maximum absorbency (too tight a wad would hinder this), but it also is an artisic expression of exactly how miserable you feel. Tinkerbell obviously has no appreciation for art. Hubby thinks it's sexy :D ...................well.....that's what he said, anyway :unsure:......hmmmm....didn't want a kiss, though :huh:

Of course, this is only an acceptable adornment in the privacy of your own home. :rolleyes:

To all of the above . . . and am adding my own . . .

Does the runny drip ever wake you up at night???? So Sunday night it kept waking me up . . . so upon sticking kleenex up my nostrils, I go back to sleep and have dreams about walking around in public where I have forgotten to remove the kleenex shoved up me nose. . . :P:lol:

The phrase "Hit the nail on the head" comes to mind . . . especially that extra detail about too tight of a wad impedes absorbancy . . . I know that you know exactly what I'm going through!!! :lol::lol:

I hate that. It wakes me up every time. <_<

I've never tried the tissue up the nostril--I usually just put some on my pillow and hope I don't roll over :P

See, this is why I missed you guys so much......where else you gonna talk about this stuff??? :lol:

And as I sit here at the computer, once again having to give in to this ritual, I have just realised the function of the excess tissue..........once the wad becomes soaked, you still have enough tissue to blow before you throw it away! :D

Did you take that pic of the humming bird??? I do so love hummingbirds . . . we only get the ruby-throated here and they are quite territorial. I was standing next to my feeder one day and I had one try to chase me off . . . cheeky little bugger.

We also only get the ruby throated...I guess the rest are smart enough to stay in warmer climes! I have taken a lot of pics of the hummers. Love my digital camera!!! We like to grow Dolicos vine (also called Hyacinth bean plant). The hummers love the flowers. You can stand almost within touching distance of them. We catch them resting on the vines while feeding. So cute.

Hya Ryan! So nice to meet you. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

Pah-ti....you are invoking memories of our move for me! I've lost count of all of the visitors we've had since we moved here. My mom and dad talk of coming down almost every time I talk to them. It's only an 8-9 hour drive for them...most of my family is in NY. Telehubbys family is about 4. Unfortunately my son is in Arizona...too far...but we talk on the phone often. I'm so glad that your visit was so enjoyable. Sounds like some amazing pholks in your fam!

Still catching up here....

Get out a pen and paper.........very important, detailed instructions on the proper installation of tissue for maximum snot absorbancy.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ryangf! If you don't have celiac disease you could still have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Some experts feel NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis of NCGS is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease by formal testing. At the end of the day the antidote for both is the same, namely, life-long abstinence from gluten. Yes, corn is a common cross-reactor with gluten for some celiacs. So are oats, soy, eggs and dairy.  I have concern with your possible exposure to wheat flour dust during your culinary training. It gets in the air, you breathe it in, it gets trapped in the mucous of your mouth and airway and winds up in your gut. If you decide to go forward wit the "gluten challenge" for formal celiac disease testing, aim for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for four weeks leading up to the day of either the blood draw or the endoscopy/biopsy.

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.
