On the housing front- John and I just learned we qualified for the 1st time home owners tax credit of 8,000. We are allowed to claim it on our 2008 taxes as well. We have decided to pay off our one big credit card with it. They hiked my interest to 32%...I have never even been late.....I am so upset with them! I think something needs to be done with the credit card companies...

so happy to know someone who will benifit from these new laws.

good for you!

wow up 32% for paying on time......??? :ph34r:

Patti - is Mark home??...I know you said he was due to land??

Yep! He got in on time and all's well :D Thanks all for asking :wub:

Oh, Psills.....not a good evening last night........

Sorry Em :( From what me doc told me, in general of course, this type is pretty slow-growing. We discussed the subject at some length, since he retained mine during my surgery. I hope her's can be taken care of swiftly with no lasting effects.

Amanda--My son is in the process of buying his first house and that tax credit is a great thing! At phirst, it was proposed that it would pertain to anyone buying a house this year--which would have included us, too. Oh well.....

I meant Matt will get it since he's a first time home buyer. When Mark and I buy a home in Houston, it won't be our first, so we don't qualify for the tax break. :angry::D

Em, please ask Jack this . . . Have you ever wondered why we say 'Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty' but not Here Doggy, Doggy, Doggy'? . . . annnnnnnnd . . . Why do most cats respond when that's not their name??

Mygawd.....Jack will love this, and ponder it and google it and bring it up in circle time at school. . ... :lol:

My cats only come if we do the "Here, kitty-kitty-kitty" thang with their names....

"Here, Tess-Tess-Tess-Tess-Tess".... . ..

I think we don't do the doggy thing because "Here, Doggy-doggy-doggy-doggy" is just too frickin' difficult to say. . . . .... :huh::rolleyes:

We all luuuuv li'l P....so de-bone-air in tophat and collar!

:lol::lol: OMG.....I read this word as "TOE-FAT..... . . thinking, lord, he's got phat li'l toes? :huh:

I like the Goo/Good oops . . . I'm keepin' it!!!

:lol::lol: Me, too! Sounds vaguely Asian.....terrific name for a Chinese restaurant......""Hey, let's head over to Goo Luck for some o' their great won ton soup!"

As I was walking a million miles to the bathroom just now since there has been a new flood since I wrote the first time--who is high on their post count that could have caused this Phluid Phrenzy! To take down a portion of a hospital is pretty high ya think?

I was wondering exactly this, too, Amanda . .. . .....

Methinks Patti is quietly working there, in some capacity. .. ....she's the only one with a high enough post count that would cause damage like that with a flipover. What's Paghteigh's count??

Great news on the credit, Amanda! :)

should have figured that one out........dugh :unsure:B)

Joooodie crackin' me up . . . .. ...DUGH .. . .... :lol::lol:

YAY! Manda's got credit! Mark's home! Jack gets a new ponderable!

Sorry about your friend, Em. I know there's a lot of stress involved, but please assure her that once she gets those womanly bits removed, she'll be delighted with the effects. :P

Amanda....you need to email your credit card company pronto! My card....which I've used since the early 80's suddenly cranked up my rate. I pay on time (I always pay the balance and avoid interest) and I have Eggcelent credit. I wrote and told them the rate was unacceptable, and if they chose not to re-instate my last rate I could easily find a company who would!!! I got an email back in record time and a letter to back it up. Rate back where it was and an apology! You can't let these businesses get away with robbery.....there's too much competition out there. If they think you'll just roll over and take...they'll do it to you. ;)

Great news on the 1st time buyers break!! Pretty kool.

Pah-tay....sounds like your having a blast up there! Good luck with all of that. Your son must be pretty excited......1st home!!! :D

Niknik is droooolin'. Does your dentist ask you questions while his fingers are in your mouth? I figure they don't really want to know the answers.....they're just making noise to pass the time :lol:

I have never used.....Here Kitty, kitty, kitty. Have never had a cat that would respond to that. They'd look at me like...."I DO have a name, you know!" :huh:

Hello my lovely psillies! It's been almost a week! I had a major computer crash and Kurt just got it up last night! I was not only a phorum-less abyss but an internet-less ayss! EEK!

If I have missed anything good or bad, I apologize....hope everyone is well!

New York was phunny because me sis was a completely spazmoid the entire time! We drove down (I usually take the train but we decided to drive this time), got lost, and my sister almost peed her pants while driving in the Bronx. We got there, had no gas so they wouldn't valet our car so the concierge got in the car with my sister to take her to the nearest gas station about 30 blocks north.

She's sitting at a red light when "Knock, knock it's NYPD". $120 for not wearing a seatbelt. OOPS!

Then she had to wear sunglasses until 10 pm because she thought she forgot her glasses (and her cellphone and her Blackberry and her contacts :blink::lol: ). I have a picture of her on my phone eating chocolate mousse in a very dark restaurant looking like Corey hart :lol:

She wanted to go to Macy's to shop but had to ask me if colors were normal on everything :rolleyes::lol:

Then, we left Macy's, she puts her hand in her pocket and VOLIA! There are her glasses in her pocket :lol: :lol:

We went to the butterfly conservatory at the Museum of Natural History. Twas lovely. My sis came to my appointment with me and has decided to get tested. My doc examined her (she was really curious if she had been exposed) and it looks like she has. :( Long story, but she is actualyy relieved to know it MIGHT be that rather than some of the other things she's been told she'd just have t live with.

We had a blast- wanted to stay another night! But am glad to be home with hubby, Angie and in me own bed (often-YAWN!)

Hey all! Bev-really....so glad you had a good time!!! Not a Goo time but almost as good! And no....Pictures of Kurts upwardly mobile activities is more info. than I want...although I had to admit my first thought was the same as *others* :lol::lol:

Hiya Judester! So glad to see you poopin in more. The place is not the same without you. ;)

Been lovin the warmer weather....evenif it was rainy/windy today. Back to ````cold````brrrrrr tomorrow! Iyam SO desperate for greenandgrowing things! We do have daffodils and tulips coming up though. The deer will leave the daffs alone....but I'm willing to bet they'll find the candy tulips!

Been having lots of really strange dreams lately...and some kool ones. Dreamed of making copper arbors with huge dream catchers in the sides.....and dreamed of carving woodsy figures for the yard. I could be inspired to try both of them. Need to sketch out what I saw pretty soon or I'll forget that I even wanted to do this :rolleyes:

Karry on the psillie......

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
