Actually, I'm pretty good at editting to see if the sentences make sense. I usuually know if something is spelled wrong, I just have to look it up to fix it. Let us know the blog so we can become fans and leave effusive and approbative comments. (Open Original Shared Link) :P

Maybe I should check your spelling (or maybe not - I might not do American so well any more) because I was promoted a grade for being such a good speller - then ended up in high school when I was eleven :( Stunted my emotional growth :rolleyes:

Ahhhh, thanks :wub: I had applied for that gluten-free writer's job on about.com last year but was turned down for lack of writing experience. I had to send in a sample and apparently, they didn't like it :rolleyes: I used to be a pretty good writer. Won some awards for my short stories and poetry in middle and high school. Maybe if you don't use it you lose it... I'll try it out this weekend and see what he thinks. Jesse had sent him my blog info and he called Jesse back saying he loved it and wanted me to write for him!

I am SO not touching the wee melons. :ph34r:

Today did not start well.

We usually take Tuesdays off, and have a chance to sleep later, and have a lazy start to the day. It started off as usual, but at 9:30 the phone rings. Associate is hearing beeping noises and Jacquie thinks it is the UPS with a power problem. I talk to Cheryl, and try to diagnose power problem over the phone, but get nowhere.

Throw some clothes on and J & I hightail it down to the store. When we get there, it is not the UPS that was beeping, it was the CPU. Cheryl has been trying to work through a "keyboard problem" with tech support. The UPC scanner and the keyboard use the same feed through a Y-cable, and she is trying to get the spare scanner to work with no success. I get on the horn with the support analyst (whom I have known for almost ten years) and we eventually get it sorted out. But it is noon before J and I get back home and can start making breakfast. :(

This afternoon, we go to a local building supply store where the service is usually good. I need a piece of hardboard cut to size for a display at the store.

Find the required object, and go up to the cashier, with my Visa card ready. ID10T cashier hits the wrong button. She then asks me if I have cash. I say, "I gave you the credit card for a reason," but find a ten dollar bill for the 8.84 purchase. She takes it, but then can not figure out how to give change. Jacquie says, a dollar sixteen. ID10T get out her calculator and still can't figure it out. :blink: Finally voids the sale and does it over on Visa.

So then we go the back where the cutting gets done. ID10T there running the saw can not grasp what I want: (1) cut the length to 29" then (2) cut the width to 23-1/4". It takes repeating the request multiple times, pointing to where to cut, and he still almost does it wrong--fortunately I am watching and stop him. :blink:

Gonna start on making gluten-free pizza in a few minutes. :)

Don't forget the ice cream! Lots and lots of ice cream :D

Phunny, I had a 10 minute conversation wif a patient's wife today about the IDIOT's who cannae count change. Even when the total comes to $8.52 and you give them a 10, they type 10 into the register and the computer reports change as $1.48, they continue to stare into the change drawer trying to figure out how to make $0.48!!! :blink::rolleyes:

Hmm. My tech support background crept into my earlier post. Most of you figured it out. B)

ID10T is pronounced eye-dee-ten-tee and is help-desk slang. "It was an eye-dee-ten-tee error" means, well, you can understand without me drawing a picture. ;)

Pizza was excellent.

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
