POeter! What were you doin' going back and forth, T.O. to Rochester, for 30 years? Do you have family down there?
My parents owned property on Lake Canadaigua during that time. The property was sold two years ago. It was not permanently occupied, and when not in use by Mom or Dad the other family members would use it. Rob spent much time there writing, and the place appears in at least one of his novels.

Will do! Quite the thruway, Yonge Street is.....it eventually becomes the Trans-Canada Highway, does it not?
Yup, continue straight and, from North Bay to just west of Fort Frances, Yonge Street, known there as Hwy 11, is part of the Trans-Canada. We have not driven that route. We used the Hwy 17 alignment both ways in 1984 going to Vancouver, and returning from Alaska in 1994.

Really is a small world....Mark's sister lived in Canadaigua for a while while she was a student teacher. My family had a reunion there at the lake when I was about 12--and Mark and I have been to Sonnenberg Gardens and partook in some wine-tasting while there. :)

Maybe we crossed paths at some point :o

Mygawd, everybody's living again today. . ....

Nary a peep outta anyone. .. ..... :unsure: ..... . . ....

I have most of our costume paraphrenalia ready for the big Halloe'en party/dance this weekend. I have dared Will to walk the six miles up Yonge Street in full dress (African Zulu warrior) to your store on Saturday, POeter, as we would then be all ready for the dance that night. I said that I would accompany him in costume. I know that there are many areas of Yonge where we would not even cause eyes to widen. At all. :lol:

The kids immediately chimed in that they would not be walking anywhere near us .. .they would, in fact, get on a later boat.

Bah! Where is everyone's sense of phun and adventure?? <_<B):lol:

Just a drive-by poop-in here . .. .

Ptaughmn's pleased to be in the homestretch of moving :D <yay!>

2 craigslist guys w/ a truck are due @1pm & I'll be sleeping in Willow Glen tonight. :contentedsleepingface:

Work's going better than expected :happysmugface: :lol:

Talked to Bossman some last night. He seems to think the stuff I'm doing - which is NOT what I was hired to be doing - is harder and more important than I believed it to be.

He said I'm "doing engineering", to which I replied "maybe we should revisit my pay scale then". Heehee :P

I'll soon be getting a desk and new pc w/ big widescreen monitor too! Yippee :):D:lol:

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      By Peggy M · Posted

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
