Okay, here's something that's really dumb silly. We are being told to boil our water for 1 minute, for 3 minutes, for 5 minutes, for 6 minutes, for 10 minutes; it's like pluck a number out of the air and that's the answer. Even the Chief Medical Officer for the city said 5 minutes. So hubs decides to go on line to see what he could find :rolleyes:

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU BOIL WATER TO MAKE IT SAFE?

The fact is, with a water temperature of 160 to 165 degrees F (74 C) it takes just half an hour for all disease causing organisms to be inactivated. At 185 degrees this is cut to just a few minutes. By the time water hits its boiling point of 212 F (100 C) - plus or minus depending upon pressure or altitude - the water is safe. Even at high altitudes the time it takes for the water to reach a rolling boil and then cool means you can safely drink it.

So we are saving energy and just bringing it to a boil, even though "they" tell us that just bringing it to a rolling boil in a jug with an automatic switch-off is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

By the way, thanks for the Portaloos yous guys are sending our way :D and for your urban search and rescue teams :) :)

This sent me waaaay back. I have a memory of this song playing in December of 1966 while I was visiting my uncle and his family in in California. I just get this image of a yellow VW beetle, uncle Pete (after whom I am named), and this song playing. Now I can't get it out of my mind. :unsure:

Dunno what the Canucks are doing for youse guys.. . .. ....we got some Mounties over there, then?

I'm telling ya, if a disaster-struck country should ever, EVER need milk in a bag, with pouring containers, we are here to serve.

In fact, I am not certain why our Prime Minister has never bestowed an assembled bag of milk in its infamous plastic container to the presidents of various countries that he is visiting. Hell, Inuit sculptures.. . . ..Group of Seven paintings, polar bear diamond pendants... .. . .C'mon, give official dignitaries something truly wonderful...!

POeter! I think you were, at this time, living about six blocks from me. I was a year old. How come my mom never called you to come over and babysit? :P:lol:

Hi Psilles,

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTI!!!!!

I've been popping in and out because I'm keeping the medical profession in business on a daily basis. Still alive to talk about it laugh.gif

I hope you're all doing well. Heading out soon to pick up Tony and a friend from the train to see a cover group of the Beatles for his birthday. He's downtrodden because something happened and hi BF is no longer. Won't talk to us about it. It's hard to see them hurting and not be able to fix it any more.

Miss you all!!!

P.S. Clark makes his presentation and meets with several top people at the new company Thursday. Keep everything crossed!

Well, I've made a new discovery. If you go off to Spain and forget to renew your truck tabs, the local constabulary are kind enough to remind you of it. And politely expect you to pay them for the time they spent assisting you.

Those guys must get a lot more per hour than I do..... <_<

Off to buy my tabs.

Motto of the week: "If it's brown, flush it down; if it's yellow, let it mellow" Of as we used to say in CA: "In this land of sun and fun, we don't flush for number one." :lol:

Ok, but what if you're really dehydrated (I dunno, been drinking copious amounts of Wodka the night before) and yer wee is like auburn...almost brown??? unsure.gif (& yer have a stinkin' headache)

NOT the sort of dilemma yer need wiv a heinous hangover rolleyes.gif

That was like one o' 'The Ripper's' conundrums laugh.gif

I believe some discretion is allowed for the in-between shades :rolleyes::P Besides, we have several terlets for different purposes - a yellow one, a brown one (closest to the spa) and a hangover one (as yet unused because there's not enuff drinking water to allow for getting dehydrated - only enuff for mellow :D

OMG.... . . . . ..DH would let a mellow yellow terlet sit and continue receiving contriutions for about a week before he would figger that it's time to flush... .. . .quite revolting.

It's my one extravagance - - I flush after I pee, regardless of hue . .. . . . .. . ..

Ah yes, a new biznus opportunity there, Nik, no doubt. Need to create some employment down here or everyone will move out :o There'll only be us retirees left :P And then who will buy our houses when we go into the old folks home? :blink:

Water may be running in a week - or in two months.... since it has to come from Lyttelton (the epicentre) through the pipes on the harbour floor :unsure: They are filling the Lyttelton reservoir now.

Awww, shucks, the U.S. Consulate just kindly sent me an email inquiring as to my safety!! Uncle Sam cares :wub::lol: They didn't ask about hubs, for some reason..... Mebbe because he's travelling below the radar. Desperado on the run. (I turned him in)

And just so you don't think we are lolling about relaxing, we have had 15 aftershocks today, with three of them being, respectively, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 :( Miss Em barely bothers to raise en eyelid now :D

AAaaand, the HMNZS Canterbury is steaming up the harbour right this minute bringing much needed supplies from Wellington, like portaloos, and Army 4-wheel drive vehicles and who knows what else??? :D

A container (small, coastal) ship came in yesterday and they were hoping to get a fuel tanker berthed today, but there is only one operational wharf :unsure:

Got on here to find some giggles. I found some, but they quickly turned to sobs. I swear, if I hear 1 more person say, "At least it wasn't a cat or a dog, that would have been worse..." I shall SCREAM!!! I passed a mirror an hour ago and it looks like I've been in a major fight. I guess I have though. I'm going back and forth between fighting with God and repeating the Serenity prayer to myself. Mocha was so very loved in his short time with us. I'm just having a hard time holding my daughter while she sobs, clutching her chest crying that, "It just hurts so bad mama, my heart hurts so bad"

RIP Mocha bunny -_-

This happened to Jesse recently, except his excuse was, "My wife forgot to renew my tabs" <_<

Me too! My son, however, doesn't care what color it is. He cannae be bothered by flushing :rolleyes:

Ah! ...market for 'adut wipes' out there....

Oh, we have them at the hospital. I think they're actually called 'adult wipes' I'll see if I can snap a pic of them tomorrow :P

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      Mucus discharge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  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 has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.
