Well, I do have AC and it is needed in a three-story structure with a flat roof. It is a bit cooler than it was yesterday morning, but by afternoon it will be hot and humid with more thunderstorms.

Open Original Shared Link The observations are taken at Buttonville Airport, 4 km due west of my home. I'm not near any flight path from there. The two runways intersect in an "X" shape, with vectors NNE and SSE.

All that swing has reminded me that I WILL learn to tango after this stupid IV is out...so sassy! I love this

Morning, all!

All right - - everybody who has this HEINOUS Amazon Jungle-like weather happening - - who of you has air conditioning? NO sympathy for you. Howevah, if you are like me, and dying in a hot house (at least we're in a bungalow... ...), well, we can sweat and commiserate together....:soakedpantingface:

BEV!!! Is that FINALLY Uncle Ray in your av???!! Fan-f*ckin-TAS-tic!! :D:D

Yes- sweltering in hell here- 104 today and 107 tomorrow- they've issued a heat cramp warning! WTH is HEAT CRAMP warning?

Yes- tis our very own Uncle ray. :D :D

He sends this:

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady

because she had just gotten married -- for the fourth time.

The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about

what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new

husband's occupation.

'He's a funeral director,' she answered.

'Interesting,' the newsman thought. He then asked her if she

wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three

husbands and what they did for a living.

She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all

those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face

and she answered proudly, explaining that she'd first

married a banker when she was in her early 20s, then a

circus ringmaster when in her 40s, later on a preacher when ;

in her 60s, and now in her 80s, a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked

why she had married four men with such diverse careers.

She smiled and explained, 'I married one for the money, two

for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.'

cold and rainy here.

Saw something I thought was amusing. A prison transport bus, completely with caged interior, with the destination sign on the front reading "EXPRESS". Not sure why I thought that was so hilarious.

OMG - this is so decadent - am sitting in living room, on couch, using kissey's laptop......luxurious and comfy but - don't like using these blasted things - got all me keys in the wrong place....... :blink: (Kissey has made my house wireless, somehow. But pleeze don't axe me how)

I do NOT know how you all are watchign the horse race.......I can hardly bring myself to do it at all, and will NEVER do it again, after that broken ankle in the last race..... :sadsadsadface: I just feel too sorry for the horses and worry that something bad will happen.........gahhhhhhh...................

Susie, I had the same difficulty when I first got my laptap, it was so .........foreign :huh: Took a long time to adjust to the keys and the whole set up. One year later, I can't imagine going back to my PC. I do think I make more typing/spelling errors though, I think the keys require a harder push or sumfin. I tap on them and sometimes it doesn't take.

And I feel the same about the horse race, can not watch after what happened with that poor horse :((

No real recipe, actually. Just take whatever ribs you like---beef, pork

When I fix pot roast, (I usually add water and bouillon, steak seasoning and/or garlic powder and pepper) once I take

Just got back from dancin' (west coast swing)...my all time favorite thing to do :D:D:D

More beef talk :blink:

Lisa, swing dancing sounds like SO much fun!!!! Yay for you :)

Years ago I wanted to learn how to country line dance, and ever since Dancing With The Stars has been on I've wanted to learn how to ballroom dance. I must DANCE!!!!

Ugh....This was one of the longest weeks I've had in some time...and I need to blow off some steam!

Ryan, hope you have recovered from your long stressful week.

Yes, the recitals are quite the production these days. My nieces do the same drill.

More heinousity here, having to do with what else???? Yep, water. I tell ya, it's something new every day :angry:

Oh NO Patti! :o

More visits from the plummer?

That would be right along with the Loch Ness Monster, aliens and Elvis. :lol::lol::lol:

:lol: Lisa

:lol: Uncle Ray

Bev!!! I love that movie Shall We Dance!

I probably shouldn't mention it's kind of cooler here :ph34r: I don't know what the deal is, usually we are right up there with you all with the sweltering heat.

I missed saying bon voyage to Nikki. I want to go to bonnie Scotland!!!!!

We got up this morning and had a pleasant breakfast out on the deck.

Peter, your deck sounds like a LOVELY place, always having breakfasts and dinners out there. Do you take reservations?

I've taken some ballroom dancing lessons, but doubt if I remember much of it :huh: The problem with a dance studio is that you have a group lesson, then you go home. You have to go back on a dance night to put it into practice...if you haven't already forgotten. And the place where hubby and I went, the other people seemed a bit snobby and not welcoming to new people. <_< Dance clubs usually have an hour of lessons and a few hours of dancing afterward.....and...people mingle more. Experienced dancers take you under their wing. :D....and it's cheap!

I can do a little salsa, night club 2-step and hustle. My favorite show is So You Think You Can Dance. :D AWESOME!!!!!

OMG....and that infamous question fits in very well, here, and coincidentally, Jack asked me this yesterday, so I shall posit it to everyone:

Where did you find yourself when you heard Elvis had died?

It was a momentous day for me - - August 16, 1977......My mom and I went shopping together for my first bra. I was wearing it, amazed at how uncomfortable it felt and how everyone would be staring, when the news flashed on the TV screen. So funny how things become paired in our consciousness..... ..

Whenever I purchase a new brassierre, I think of Him...... :DB)

Okay, everybody, make me feel old here. There are, as far as I know, only three of us over fifty, and only one older than me. I'm the oldest male here. Does that make me the Crown Prince of Silly Old Age? :huh:

Oh, wait, I used to be the king. I am not dead, but I am not the king anymore. I must be Open Original Shared Link :D:D

Oh, wait, he's dead too. :(

I guess I'm just me, that crazy old phart they call the oracle. Who knew? :rolleyes:

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Damage to the intestines like your doctor found affects the absorption of essential nutrients.  Supplementing with B Complex, Vitamin D, and minerals like magnesium help ensure you are absorbing vitamins your body needs to heal.  Weight loss is often seen in the malnutrition that accompanies Celiac Disease.  Weight loss, Barret's esophagus, and hypothyroidism are related to Thiamine Vitamin B1 insufficiency.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and other vitamins and minerals. Best wishes for your new journey with Celiac.  Keep us posted on your progress.
    • knitty kitty
      Pancreatic elastase is a digestive enzyme that requires Thiamine Vitamin B 1 to be produced.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin, too.  Thiamine, Niacin B 3, and Pyridoxine B6 are needed to make digestive enzymes and turn carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy for the body, and for repair and healing of the body.  The Gluten free diet can be low in the eight essential B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Supplementing with the water soluble B vitamins can ensure you're absorbing sufficient amounts of B vitamins to keep the body healthy.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamin that helps heal the digestive tract.  Benfotiamine and Vitamin D help to reduce inflammation and calm immune responses, so if you are accidentally exposed, your autoimmune response might not be so bad. Supplementing with the B Complex vitamins is beneficial while healing.  Have you talked to a nutritionist?

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.
    • TerryinCO
      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.
