Did I ever tell you guys that in my "letter of application" (I use that term loosely) for my preschool position, I informed the director that I don't gag at the smell (or sound)of vomit? I'm pretty sure that's why I got the job.

:lol: :lol: :lol: They surely took this bit of information into pserious consideration!

Silver lining on an otherwise crappy evening,

I bid on and won a romantic trip for 2 to Victoria BC to stay at the Fairmont Empress!! Think I should take the hubby or find someone worthy of a romantic weekend?? ;)

Wow! I guess you should take hubby since he's the one who strong-armed you into going in the phirst place :D

y could result in poop up to his shoulders??? ..... always after weetabix....funny that :lol:

But seriously, those events would have turned the HARDEST of stomachs :o

Operation 'school reunion in grotty pub must-look-fab-it's-so-stressful' this afternoon,

Hold me :unsure: .........skird!

Have a wonnerphul time, Nik!! :D

Morning Psillies. Cinnamon rolls are rising. They shall be ready in about 1 1/2 hours. That should be plenty of time for you all to get here. I shall expect you shortly.

OMG <droolphace> Be right over! :rolleyes:

....1.30pm on a Sun afternoon and I've got a vodka & coke in me hand :blink::lol:

That's our goil :lol: A wee drink will take the edge off ;)

I gotta finish insulating the kitchen today, having committed to the dry wall guy coming next week. I'm just not a fan of anything involving actual labor. Would much rather supervise.....by phone.......from a distant, more pleasant place......with a drink in my hand.....

Jess does nae want to get her hands dirty :lol: Not that I blame her.....can't wait to see pics after the walls are up.

I'll go! You can pick me up on your way to the boat. I'm not terribly romantic tho'. Too practical for that foolishness.

I think we are going to go to Seattle a day early since we have to catch the ferry at 8am, maybe we could meet for lunch or something??!! Not sure how often you get into Seattle...

In light of how you've been thinking of hubby of late....I think you need to take some psillies with you instead!!! May not be so romantic...but would be one hail of a great time!!!

Me thinks you are right!!!

Ra-shellle! You will LOVE it there - - Verrrrrry posh and old-style elegant - -while I was out there last month, my mom, sis and I wandered in and had "high tea" there in one of the incredible restaurants on the first floor. Mountains right in front of you, a quiet piano playing in the marble foyer.. . .. ...And Vicoria is one of the loveliest cities I've been in, methinks. Take heed - - lots of seniors. Ya cannot be in a huge hurry to get anywhere - -cavalcades of walkers, canes and big station wagons cruising at 20 mph...........

Yeah, We get a gold room, so we have the high tea, our own consierge (sp?), complimentary cocktails and canapes nightly and an extensive continental breakfast in the "exclusive" gold room lounge. It sounds like it's a VIP thing and the "regular room" peeps are not allowed :o;)

Wow! I guess you should take hubby since he's the one who strong-armed you into going in the phirst place :D

I think I will not have a choice in the matter. But he was busy schmoozing and I was left to my own devices at the table. The item came up and I started bidding. I was concerned because 1 day of snowmobiling went for $900, and I wasn't going to pay that much!! With our tax write off, we got a 650$ trip for 340$!!! And I think since it was the last item, everyone else was bidded out ;) But I told y'all I was a bargain shopper!! :D

Operation 'school reunion in grotty pub must-look-fab-it's-so-stressful' this afternoon,

Hold me :unsure: .........skird!

Have soooooo much fun!!!

It's an un-landscaping day today. I trimmed back bushes yesterday and started pulling out three burning bushes . . . gah!!!!! . . . they are in a spot MUCH too small for them (like just about everything else in this yard). I might have to actually pay someone to dig these out, the roots are so intertwined and there is no manuevering room to get leverage on these puppies. I took out a 12 foot tree (including the root ball) by myself that was much easier than one of these bushes!!! Suze, when you come for your cinnamon rolls, bring me some of yer muskle relaxers!

Wow, you're amazing, like Paul Bunyun!! I gave my hubby 1 job at our house--take care of our small yard and I will take care of the 3600 square ft and everything inside.....He hired Jesus and his crew to take care of the yard-that was his way of being responsible for it <_< I thought-if you can do it, so can I, so I hired Viola to help me with the house but she only comes every other Wednesday :( He doesn't want to pay her for every week....boohoo :rolleyes:

I gotta finish insulating the kitchen today, having committed to the dry wall guy coming next week. I'm just not a fan of anything involving actual labor. Would much rather supervise.....by phone.......from a distant, more pleasant place......with a drink in my hand.....

Let me know when you're ready to paint-I'm good with a paintbrush!! :)

Didn't he create a burning bush at some point?

Or did he put one out?

Or appear in front of one.. . .. ...proclaiming it a miracle.......? :huh:

Crap, I need Jesus here to build me a new picnic table....... . . .and turn quite a bit of tap water into wine.. . ......now THAT is one request that he must hear ad nauseum. "Sorry, I just cannot be doing that anymore.... . ....you must go forth, and buy your wine".... ..

Three gianormous craters in the ground. Three decimated bushes strung about me walkway. Too tired to clean it up now and plus I still need to pare down the root balls as the bushes are too heavy to lift. We'll see in the next few days if the back goes out . . . that's what usually happens. I over do it one day (back's just a wee sore) and then one or two days later, I turn wrong or too fast or reach for something and out it goes . . . the clock is running. Broke the pitch fork trying to leverage one of 'em out of it's hole. Gah, what a mess, but the worse part is over.

Sloozen - so sorry to hear that you are now in a forumless abyss!! You must find yer way back to us!!!

That was his Dad.

Or did he put pull one out?
That was me and actually, it was three bushes.

Yep, that's exactly why he got out of that water-to-wine business, Emily people kept badgering him for more wine.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
