P.S. Oh! Oh! Forgot to mention a couple days ago. I've got a date for Saturday night! :D

Well, ok, maybe it's not really a real date (I should really get this clarified) .... .. hmmm .. . .. .old girlfriend Mei's Tennis Club is having an end-of-season party.

WooHoo!

I have nothing going on this weekend, though three of my kids have Christmas parties tonight, so I'm busy driving them around. :blink:

they raised the prices at our Salvation ARmy.........all the good stuff is now actually often MORE than it cost originally.......... :angry: 'tis EGREGIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\

They did at my mom's now, and some stuff is like 5.19 and odd prices. Our store is still 1.99-3.99.

I bought some nice plain long sleeve T's at Wally World the other day for $6. I think I might go back and get more colors. They are real comfortable and I wear a few to work. So now it is time to get more colors :)

It's only when I purchased something and they printed out the label, which has the ingredient list on it, was I able to read what was in it, btw no gluten to be found. Crazy.

It seems like a one step forward/two steps back kind of thing as far as disclosure of ingredients/labeling.

um.....okay.............WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT the hell?????????? :blink: :blink:

candy case.....do you mean homemade candy? and there's no ingredients unless you BUY something? good Lord.............what can this mean? Must write letter to Whole Foods now.......

Jess - "2" - as if we might have forgotten the question!!!! :lol::lol: Still got number 2 or is he stored away in a 55-gallon drum?

:lol:

OMG dated a guy in Monterey - a crazy man (nearly all of them were in that town)...and he did always say "..........and Bob's your uncle!" and it was indeed quite funny........

Me too . . . Hubby has had two do's this week and one more tomorrow. I wasn't invited to any of them . . . all work related . . . at least I don't have to worry about what I'm gonna wear (jeans) or what to do with my hair (comb it) . . . huh, Sarah?

phew! dodged that bullet! Suppose if I were to be invited to any Christmas fete I would have to............beadazzle my sweats.........

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

now heading out to buy new chapsticks and fish oil.....................'tis an exciting day indeed................

Not THAT sounds like a proper Christmas Party!!!! Do we have to have the stew . . . how 'bout just the Amaretto and ice cream? Now here's one of my favorite drinks - called a Toasted Almond. It's Kahlua, Amaretto and Ice Cream - (can also be made with cream or milk).

(But w/ a "Location: in the middle of Puget Sound", methinks that could be taken more literally w/ at least one of two bodies. You just KNOW Jess would get flow & tide charts and calculate the best 4-minute increment & precise spot to make the dump!

Sting wears panties???? :blink:

I think I would've remembered seeing that.

So Bev??? Are you cheating on us w/ another thread of silliness?

:angry:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I believe the reference was to MC Hammer getting his panties in a twist over "Can't Pluck this" and how Sting would NOT get his panties in a twist over "Every Egg you Break" .......so I offered to twist his panties....but then I discovered Sting goes COMMANDO and does yoga naked. Oh My!!!!!!!!!! So I'm leaving tonight for England where I will be involved in a 6 month yoga retreat led by Sting. See ya (yes- I KNOW he's cocky, but stil......)

I am NOT cheating on you and I DO have heat........just feel like SHITE! Little lymie bugs are killing me :angry: :angry:

Okay....minus the Cary Grant glasses, the 1952 zoot suit, and the oiled, rat-pack hair, this is kinda what one is facing with my bro. (Same height, nose, mouth...ya know, the father-to-son genetic stuff. :D

Well, there's the rub. It's NoSoyBoy that's uncomfortable w/ it!

I agree, Janet...NoSoyBoy conjures up a vision of leotards and cape. Don't tell me that this was your username at one time, Tom. :lol:So not you...even if you are a boy and don't do soy...Sounds somehow like an all-male Asian band. :lol:

Here's an Uncle Ray-bie for you:

Subject: A Christmas Gift

Christmas shopping for his wife, a man walks into Victoria's Secret to purchase a sheer negligee . He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500 in price, the more sheer, the higher the price. Naturally, he opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500 and takes it home.

On Christmas Eve, he presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on,

and model it for him.

Upstairs, the wife thinks, "I have an idea. It's so sheer that it

might as well be nothing. I won't put it on, but I'll do the modeling

naked, return it, and keep the $500 refund for myself."

So she appears naked on the balcony and strikes a pose.

The husband says, "Good Grief! You'd think for $500, they'd at least iron it!"

He never heard the shot.

Funeral on Thursday at Noon.

Closed coffin.

I just had an epiphany!!!! Jess, you and the yeti didn't happen to make a quick trip to Vegas did you? The yeti isn't #2 is he? You didn't try to get rid of him by staging that whole elaborate metallic glue/electrode thing, did you? You can tell us . . . no one will judge you here.

OMG! It just keeps getting better and better!

Background- 2 mnths ago, Brian (hubby) got a gash on his left ring-finger at work. It wasn't bad enough to need stitches, but I told him to take off his wedding ring, in case the finger swelled. But nooooooo, he didn't want to. Of course it immediately got infected, and it has been so swollen, it's impossible to remove the ring. We've been doctoring it at home, trying like hell to get it cleared up and healed, but it got worse, then better, then worse, etc. until finally last night I told he had HAD to go to the family doc today.

The wound is now wrapped almost all the way around his finger, and spread the entire length between the bottom two knuckles- completely raw. Every time it would seem to be nearly healed, the new skin would suddenly die. I told him this was ridiculous, bite the bullet and go to the freaking doctor.

So he just called me. He is on his way to jeweller that our doc sent him to, to have the ring cut off. He has severe eczema from a sudden-onset allergy to gold, and a big fat staph infection on top of it.

Despite the fact that it seems like the heinosity will never end, I'm feeling a persistent urge to giggle... he's allergic to his wedding ring. I can't help being amused at that aspect.

He still wants to go the party, though, so I'm not off the hook. <_< I realized I probably won't be able to eat much of anything there (remembering from last year.) But there's free wine, so who cares???

Put on your jeans, your black shirt, and your black heels, put your hair in a clip and put on some lip gloss. Eat some food before you leave to soak up the wine. Have a great time!

I have a story on the other side of the spectrum, it seems my Whole Foods is training the folks there to say "Nothing" is gluten-free, due to the fact that they can't guarantee cc, which I totally understand..... . ..

It seems like a one step forward/two steps back kind of thing as far as disclosure of ingredients/labeling.

Damn lawyers!!!! Once 'fast food' got sued, the cat was out of the canvas re-useable WhF bag!!

A little sign w/ "hey, it's as gluten-free & free of cc as we can make it" would suit me.

candy case.....do you mean homemade candy?

HeheheheheHA I forgot - recently saw home-made marshmallows for sale at TJ's. I think $6 or $8 for only 10 or 12 of them!!

Around same size but all sharp corners.

And definitely hand-cut.

So THERE's a potential moneymaker for ya!

phew! dodged that bullet! Suppose if I were to be invited to any Christmas fete I would have to............beadazzle my sweats.........

Whooaaaa, slow down there, Emily . . . I believe it was just an attempt . . . I think it would take more that a little electricity to finish him off. However, I do think that he and Jess are probably gonna call it quits. It was doomed to begin with. A whirlwind romance. He swept her off her feet . . . literally. It was his animal magnetism. And with Jess being a scientist, she just had to experiment with his magnetic field. I'm sure both families were in an uproar what with him having no discernable income and her being - well, hairless - compared to his family. Plus, Jess's employer would probably have denied him coverage under her medical insurance . . . once again, a yeti-exclusion clause.

This is probably a good thing...can you imagine taking him home to meet your parents?

      Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies.  I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG.  I hope you will share the results with us.  If your body isn't making a large amount of antibodies, then the intestinal damage would be less as well.  The antibodies attacking our own cells is what causes the damage. Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies besides the ferritin?  Several vitamins and minerals are needed to correct iron deficiency.  Have you been taking any vitamin supplements? Positive on the genes, I see.  Increases the likelihood...  Good job on ramping up on gluten for the test!
    • ellyelly
      Thanks so much for the link and for your thoughts! I have been on a gluten - containing diet and ramped up my intake in the couple of weeks leading up to the endoscopy, so I’m hopeful that the biopsy is painting an accurate picture.    I don’t quite understand what else might be causing the lymphocytosis and the inflammatory cells/ clusters of plasma cells and struggled to get clarity from the specialist. Perhaps this is common and nothing to be concerned about?!   In case relevant, my mother sister are both celiac, and I have the genes: HLA-DQA1*05:01 = Heterozygous HLA-DQB1*02:01 = Heterozygous Thanks again! 
    • knitty kitty
      Welcome to the forum, @ellyelly! How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy?  Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand.  This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels,  reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal).   If you weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten per day in a minimum of two weeks prior to the endoscopy, you may want to do another gluten challenge with repeat endoscopy. Here's an article that explains, be sure to read the comments.   
    • ellyelly
      Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.  I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results (completed post-endoscopy to provide another piece of the puzzle, I think was just an accidental oversight not doing earlier).  The endoscopy results are as follows: Gastroscopy:  Stomach: Mild gastritis and one 4mm benign appearing inflammatory polyp in the body.  Duodenum: Largely normal but few shallow erosions seen in the duodenal bulb. Microscopy:  1. Sections show specialised and non-specialised gastric mucosa with increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells within the lamina propria including occasional clusters of plasma cells amounting to mild chronic inflammation. No active inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or malignancy is seen. Immunostains for Helicobacter organisms are negative. 2. Sections show small bowel mucosa with normal villous architecture. A mild non-specific intra-epithelial lymphocytosis is noted at the villous tips of uncertain clinical significance. The lamina propria contains a normal population of chronic inflammatory cells. No granulomas or parasites are seen. There is no dysplasia or malignancy. Conclusion 1. Gastric: Mild chronic inflammation 2. Duodemum: Mild non-specific intraepithelial lymphocytosis with preserved villous architecture.  The GI specialist, assuming blood tests come back normal, feels it is unlikely that it is celiac given the normal villous architecture. Suggested continuing on as usual and monitoring for symptoms etc, screening with blood test if required in the future.  Worth a second opinion or does this seem accurate? Anything else I should be considering? I feel a little lost as to how to best proceed! Thanks again.

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12?  B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly.  Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing.   Are you on any medication for your Gerd?  Here is often caused by too little production of digestive juices.  Supplementing with a B Complex will help.
