Good Morning, Amanda!

How has John been the last couple of days? Still got pains? Been thinking about him . .. . . ....

Well, I left last night just as the nasal mucous discussion was getting heated. Gawd, I miss SO much when I'm in bed by ten. .. . ...

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:

Well, nope, Jeeah-gnitt is NOT executing mom-like behavior......my mother did not dream about being out on errands or at work wif visible pieces of kleenex up her nose - - she in fact did this. I suppose she was quite comfortable in her skin, and couldn't care less what anyone thought. Quite incredible, really. . . . . ..

Um, why did she get so many nosebleeds? :huh:

maybe it was for runniness, as well, but I succinctly remember her leaping from the table with the familiar, "Oh, shyte! Bleeding again!"

:lol:

Well, if she wanders into the hospital to visit my dad with TP up her nose, I suppose they simply assume that she's a patient.....an old, bleeding, nutty patient. .. . ...

: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

OMG.. . . . . now THIS is quite ingenious, and so enviornmentally conscious of you, Leeeesah! :rolleyes: Um, do you blow it just once after it is soaked, or do you make it long enough (like, down to your waist) to blow two or three times? You could tie it up out of the way until it is needed...or braid it....then it would be decorative.

Bah! No.....you wouldn't wanna look silly. . . . . . ...

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

Newbies!! The sentence of the week for you!

Hello?

Well, yes! Where else, and with whom else can one openly discuss various and assorted bodily phluids and phunctions? And enjoy it in the process? :lol::lol:

It is a glorious day today! Already 50 degrees and sunshiny! If it wasn't so wet outside, I'd scrap the studies for the day and go play in the dirt! :D Birdies are much more vocal lately, and soon will be gathering nesting materials. Think I'll look over my seed packets and make a planting schedule. Maybe even stroll once more through my catelogs and pretend to spend lots of money! :P Maybe I'll play the lottery today. :rolleyes:

Have a great day everybody! Later....

So I'm gonna find some good drugs and sleep the day away.........it's a grEy, gloomy, rainy day......perfect for a long nap! :P

Maybe I'll play the lottery today. :rolleyes:

Teee-reesa- I want an animule reserve too!!!!!!!!!!

This may be a good time to tell ya all I have killed cactuses already!

:lol: It happens to ALL of us!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished telling The Ripper about this that Leeeeesar was signing for a talk on sex. He immediately yelled, "Gawd!! I didn't know they had a sign for 'bleccccccchhhh!'"

I do SO love the Ripper :lol:

Gianknit- Hope your cold is getting better- please to post av of your kleenexed nose. :P

Emily- Your trig has scared me (rocking back and forth in corner now :lol:)

Not a good start to the day....woke up to cat-poo-underfoot :gagface:

YUCK-A-DOOKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, while we are all basking in unseasonably warm weather, it is hard to realize that there are less than four days remaining until the start of this year's Open Original Shared Link

For those of you who weren't here last year, one of us has a personal connection to Open Original Shared Link

They are all so darn cute! I want Levi but I lurve the name Allosaurus!!!!!!!!

GO MICHELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pahteigh! Your unexpected afternoon adventure just struck me as so.....wonderful, somehow. What a special lady Aunt Clara is! Absolutely terrific that you were engaged with her in such a way. . . . .....And I know she felt so safe and cared for in your capable hands.

Now, in your conversations with her, you didn't mention anything about anal glands or the yeti, didja?

:lol: :lol: Patti- so glad you had a nice time- it's such a sweet story!!!!!!!

Well, some good news. And hello

We just found out that in less than 2 months, I am moving with the family to Cape Cod.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Why is calling them hummers cracking me up? :lol:

Sung to the tune of Me and My Shadow......

It truly is beautiful out here too! Took the Angee for a walk and it DID smell like spring- although of course, we'll get a foot of snow next week <_<

A subtle but important difference :rolleyes:

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
    • Scott Adams
      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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. This article may be helpful:

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.
