New av! Cropped from a group photo that WardGirl took this afternoon. The only thing wrong with our get-together was that it was much too short. :(

Em, I found the answer to your technical question, and will send you a PM with the explanation tomorrow. In the meantime, don't lose the place cover. :ph34r:

<sadly shaking head> Moving from Monterey (& of course, mere minutes from Grande South) was purely medical necessity tweren't it? :(

You know, whenever I know that sillies are gathering (ALWAYS seems to be East Coast-ish or Canada <_< )

I have this curious, bittersweet mixture of pure joy with......stabbing jealousy and envy :lol:

Dang .. ..wish I'd been feeling better that day in Feb or March when you were in Willow Glen & I was bowing out.

Forgetting whether you even had time.

How long is the drive to Toronto? and......more importantly..............HOW MUCH WHINING can I Annie take on a long car ride?????????

Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . who's whining?? Suezee or Weezle?

Drat! . .. .Gian-knit beat me to it . .. .

Yet I persist

[Oooo that's like yeti-purse is-t_____ .. . .tuh ... .tuh .. ...taffeta?

Yeti purses twist?]

D'oh . ..what was I gonna say about the whining?

At Tjoe's right now .. ...wtf's w/ THREE distinct new varieties of chocolate cereal!???

My early-morn check-in, from Toronto........

Amanda! I'm thinking about Jen's mom . .. . .....She will pull through fine! With a good heart and no history of cardiovascular disease, I am sure of it! :):)

A great dance last night. We were truly tribal, complete with huge feathered headdresses and nose rings....war paint .. . . . .beads and neck rings. .. . .....

:lol:

Super Weezle cracks me up!!!

And I see Lisa B pooped in!!!!

Indeed, I ABSOLUTELY know dear Suzee that I could nae drag yer away from one of THE most beautiful places on Earth.

Mygawd!!!....unfortunately no sightings of any men in kilts <_< harumph!!!.....which is a shame but mebee for the best (be still my beating heart!)......the accent alone is enough to tranfix you.

The whole place has a mystical/magical feel to it, mother nature at her best, the stunning stone architecture, the history etc etc <stop me if I'm boring you>

We stayed in a wee village called Nairn about 20 miles out Inverness ('Inver'=Rivermouth).....about 10 miles from the site of the Open Original Shared Link

The weather is WEVVAH there!!........ as you drive through the mountains the temperature suddenly drops below freezing dramatically and you in the middle of a snow storm....and then it's gone within minutes.

The sun always manages to shine (but yer need yer polar fleece under yer coat!)

Everywhere is water, pure clean springs, rivers, lochs

Welcome back Nik, and pinch punch right back at ya!!!!

So glad your Scottish jaunt was phab, it sounds sooooo luurvely and like a place I must visit tout suite!! Or at least someday, one can dream! :dreamyface:

Just to remind everyone (and make you all jealous) . . . me family is still planning a trip to Washington State for Spring Break . . . part of the time to be spent in Seattle. Besides Jess, doesn't Colleen (CruelShoes) live out that way, too??

A Seattle Summit! There are a few OMG posters from WA

A great dance last night. We were truly tribal, complete with huge feathered headdresses and nose rings....war paint .. . . . .beads and neck rings. .. . .....

:lol:

:D Can't wait to see a picture!!!

Thanks Julie and Janet

Appreciate the thoughts.

We live in such a amazing neighborhood.

All ages and ethic backgrounds.........it's like a little community of only 73 houses.

This couple were married 62 years.......and 10 months... as the hubby said the day we went down.

All the grown children and grandchildren couldn't believe how the neighbors have rallied around them.

It's a very long story surrounding her sudden passing but all the neighbors have been just wonderful.

I'm blessed to live in such a nice place where they really care deeply about each other and are there the second someone needs anything. Rare in this day and age.

I take great strength in seeing this. Still no 'silly' in me but am finding some 'joyfull blessings' so will take that for now.

Amanda, how did the house look once you got there

Thanks for the up date on Jen's mom.

Judy

Hi Sillies-

I must call in another favor in the prayer department. I am currently gathering my thoughts and I am rushing home to my parents. My father was rushed to the hospital a little while ago for shortness of breath and chest pains....I got the news and was on my way to see the house. While touring the house- I had such bad panic attacks I almost had an accident..."D".....:( Anyway even though my dad has said not to come I am still going.... I am leaving in a little while- I need my stomach to calm down before I head anywhere....

The house was beautiful possible purchase coming too....:):)

This weekend has been hell!!!! What is happening to all our loved ones? First Jen's mom and now my dad......

Oh sillies tis terrible, I actually walked through my possible new home and I was crying nearly the whole time. Then the sickness came on and it is just overwhelming....

So I am signing off and I will check in when I get achance. Bye everyone!

      Being a burden to family/friends

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By CatS · Posted

      I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten Free but contain Oats, and apparently this is becoming more common. I almost bought some gluten free flour but read that it contained oats. A certain percentage of Celiacs have this complication. I can’t help feeling offended and excluded when others act like I am being “high maintenance”. I am becoming better at being an advocate for myself.  I have had diverticulitis 3 times and each time hospitalized-once, the attending nurse didn’t know what celiac means-she had to research...  If others around me make comments I try to enlighten them, those who don’t get it are not my friends anymore. Be very careful about cross-contamination. I was sick recently for 10 days after a meal was contaminated while I was on holiday. If servers say they have gluten free buns or bread, ask if they use a toaster specifically reserved for gluten-free, or don’t chance it. On a positive note, I didn’t find out I had Celiac Disease until I was 60. Eating a gluten free diet means no more terrible headaches, hives, rashes, intestinal bloating and irregularity, Gastro Intestinal Reflux….when I follow a strict diet and mostly always eat at home, I feel great! I also weeded out “friends” who weren’t worth being around.

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.
