Yesterday it snowed, then it turned to rain .... now it's frozen and flurries. Not that pretty, just cold and wet.

Tom must have had a good date, he never checked in.

Congrats on the hubby not smoking!!!

Well, we didn't get as much snow overnight as I was expecting, but it is coming down steadily. It is expected to snow all day, but stop sometime this evening. Monday morning traffic in Toronto will be a mess, and we have about 15 miles to travel to get to the store. :(

My friends little boy's birthday is on New Years day - everyone's partied out!! :( (there is something grammatically wrong about that sentence - but can't work it out....Emily????)

Just one niggling thing--probably a typo--friends is possessive...ah! But singular possessive, or plural? How many friends have this little boy? :huh:

GAAAAHHHH! My apologies to you all. Who needs this silly correcting? Unnecessary, unfunny, probably quite pretentious...and I will stop. Anyways, sometimes I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about. :lol::lol:

Better leave really early tomorrow, Peter. That DVP and the 401 are at a crawl during rush hour even in the finest weather... :angry:

It is blizzard-like, here. Truly. I cannot believe I drove to the gym this morning...could only see about twenty feet in front of me. Crazy Canucks....

I do feel a tad sorry for kids whose birthday fall during 'the holiday' season (Hee - hee, I used an Americanism)

Well...we're not quite that crazy.... :rolleyes:

However, outside it is TRULY crazy. Snow squalls, whiteouts, stormwinds, six-feet high snowdrifts....Hmmm...don't have an appropriate emoticon for this spot. (!)

Okay, cannot find the Twister game. Don't know how many kids are coming. Six? None? Those who have a long way to drive will likely opt out, but you'd think I would have heard from them by now. So....four large pizzas, a big gluten-free birthday cake, streamers, balloons, chips and punch....and it may be me, DH and Jack. Even DD won't be here.

To quote form Tom..."Partaaaaaayyyy"....(not)... :(

So John and I ventured outside to take some pretty pictures. We walk out to find a tree had lost its limbs and fell onto his car....it looks like there is no damage but we will have to wait until the ice melts to see if there any scratches.

:lol::lol:

Well, I am the last person to correct anyone as my grammar is crap . . . but shouldn't it be New Year's day.

I just couldn't resist! :lol::lol:

We've got ice and not as much snow as they thought. However, it's suppose to get windy and reak havoc with the trees that are already stressed from the ice. Not sure when that's suppose to happen - maybe I've already missed it.

The Christmas letter is done! Thank God!!!! Most cards have been addressed and signed and stuffed with said letter!!! Now, time to start shopping. . . actually, we are almost done with that but we need to review the spreadsheet (yes, we use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of who is giving what and how much has been spent) and fill in the gaps!

Oh and a comment for Tom and his nitpickiness . . . Spin it Tom!!! It's called "Attention to Detail". Looks good on the resume.

Okay, things are acceptable....Three kids have made it (whether their parents will get back here at 6:30 to pick them up, dunno...could have a spontaneous sleepover), and they are watching The Last Mimsy. I was duly informed that "Mom..we're a little old for Twister, dontcha think?" Complete with eye-rolling. Hell, times have changed. We were playing well into our teens, and through university. Semi-clothed...balancing beer bottles as we twisted...yes, a different time (and life!)... :o:rolleyes:

Well, since they can't drink beer and don't like the other sex yet, perhaps they're in that disinterested stage as far as Twister goes. ;)

Where's Tom? We still don't have a date report!

OMG.... :lol::lol:

I emailed my bro this morning, and mentioned the fact that Jack's party may be a bust. I jokingly asked if he had any fantastically simple, entertaining game ideas for a bunch of 10 year-olds, should we be stranded in house. Here's his response:

Astound your audience with this simple, but amazingly effective card trick.

Using an ordinary deck of cards, ask someone to choose any 51 out of the pack, look at them all and then replace them anywhere in the deck. You then place all the cards face-up on a table and then simply point to each of the 51 cards selected.

Secret: While your friend is memorizing the 51 cards selected, you glance at the rest of the pack.

Is THAT what happened to you???? Since when do you take what I say seriously? Did you get "soy-ed" last night?

BTW, I meant, you weren't allowed to take cigarette breaks to talk to us .... you can do the talking to us part, but not the cigarette part ...

Well, if we were in-person talking, the no-smoking rule would be seriously enforced! OMGosh, I can't breathe around cigarette smoke! You could smoke a cigar though, that doesn't seem to bother me as bad.

:lol: (since when is such a question viable on the sillythread!? :wacko: ) tho I did have the seedlings of a bit about The King's Consigliere. Guess I'll crumple THAT plane of thought and toss it towards the rubbish bin :P:lol:

Just been busy. Not busy busy - just hanging out w/ John & guitars & NFL. It makes for a good day. :lol:

Learned John Prine's "Long Monday". Not all the fingerpicking, but enough to do it. <damn arm will never stop hurting w/ all the pattin'-self-on-back!!>

I made John smoke outside and would not let him light up in my car. I cannot do cigarette smoke.

So, how was your date?

I've been naughty .... we get lots of Esther Price (www.estherprice.com) because Adam sends it out to customers .... it's a local candy (all but one piece is gluten-free) .... it's WAY better than Godiva! Only REAL butter is used for these chocolates! I've been eating them every day. :ph34r: And I have no intention of stopping until after the holidays!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      I had a variety of skin issues while growing up that were likely related to celiac disease, although I did not get full blown celiac disease until I was in my early 20's. I had topical dermatitis in certain areas, blepharitis (eyelids), and a patch of dermatitis herpetiformis on the back of my right-thumb area. I do believe that many people who have the genetic...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      As already mentioned here, and based on your description, this sounds like a serious and specific reaction to green beans. While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, no...

      Slow healing?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October last year and followed a strict gluten free diet since then. My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b...

While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, not just an intolerance. Given your history of celiac disease and tree nut allergies, your immune system is already predisposed to sensitivities. It is crucial to stop consuming green beans immediately and consult an allergist. They can perform more specific testing and may prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector for emergency use, as this type of reaction can be unpredictable and potentially escalate.

My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b - 3a. Is this normal healing for a year? My main symtoms pre- diagnosis was joint/back pain, poor immune system and stomach problems (especially in the morning). Joint pain and the immune system improved almost instantly but the stomach problems still persist (but has gotten better). For reference I am a 21 year old male and both my ttg levels were normal after just 4 months and also the test for calkprotekin. My diet consists of 99% home cooked meals in a kitchen free from gluten.

      Issues before diagnosis

      By cristiana · Posted

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.
