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, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
    • Cathijean90
      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
    • Scott Adams
      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.
    • KDeL
      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
