I'm always up fer frizz control talk......been fighting it forever Ya know, when I used to get highlights, it seemed to make me hair behave better--less phrizz. Strange but true

Patti :lol:

Don't know if I can help with the frizzy hair. Mine tends to get too dry, so I use Biolage Hydratherapie Conditioning Balm.

I am QUITE SURE that my thermostat is lying to me

My inner thermostat is malfunctioning!!!

It is a smidgen below freezing, here -- a bit of light snow coming down.....quite lovely, and the sun was shining today. Don't need me Hudson's Bay blankie as yet....I'm a Canuck, after all.

HA!!!.....yes, those Canucks are a hardy lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh! Jules and Nik - anyone else here with quite curly hair? NEED to talk to you about frizz-control products...I have HAD it.................

oh and BTW - I think I'm about to get some highlights again - - hair is just TOO DARNED DARK and it's aging me :angry:

You use conditioner as well as shampoo???

.........Frizz Ease is what I use, never put it near your roots (greasy mess!!)

Maybe some straighteners would smooth things out for yer????

...and your right about the hair coloUr, as you got older you should ALWAYS go lighter as darker can make your skin look sallow :o

I'm always up fer frizz control talk......been fighting it forever <_< Ya know, when I used to get highlights, it seemed to make me hair behave better--less phrizz. Strange but true B)

For us 'curlies' this is because the lightening process relaxes the curl a little ;)

LOVED the Uncle Ray :lol:

OMG!! Jewel- li's Caramel clusters sound DIVINE!!!!!!!!!! :P (GADS!, I may be ill, but I ain't lost me appetite!)

Lisa's got TWO blankies?!?!?! ....... :angry: .........NOT FAIR!!!!....... bet hers hasn't got Tiger stripes on it?? ...eh??.......or have a name???? ('Tiger Pig')

<I think I have 'blankie envy' :blink: >

I do in fact have another blankie,....it's on me bed, and that is the mother of all blankies ....double bed size and faux fur!!!

Slinking BACK to me couch wiv Tiger Pig, tissues and Lemsip ...UGH!!!!!!!!!

MORNING PSILLIES!!!

Gaaad, Nikkikkikki...<shiver>.......methinks I would go into hibernation mode at your house! Hope you get the part you need soon!

Funny thing about lighter hair and getting older (which I totally agree with, btw)......when mine was black, several people thought I should keep it that way.......said it actually made me look younger :blink: .......but hubby thought I looked too Goth.

And no......my blankies don't have tiger stripes :jealousface:, but one was knitted by my dear mum :missingherface:.It was in the dryer once when it broke and stopped tumbling. Now it has a large brown burn mark. Ugliest blankie ever, but I can't get rid of it. ^_^

Later, Psillies......gotta go warm up me car.....harrrumph!

Morning Sillies!

Let me first say....brrrrr!!!!!! I even had to scrape the dang windshield this morning, me phlangies are quite phrosty now :P

So remember I told you my coworker got surgery last week. Well she was discharged the next day and on Sunday she was back in the ER with an abcess. So on Monday they took her in and had a drain placed and found that the area was filling with blood and not pus....thus the start of an infection. So during that procedure she had lots of cardiac problems. Yesterday we went to visit her in the afternoon....the room was so warm and she was curled up under a blanket literally shaking she was so cold. She needs to go 24hrs without a fever to be able to go home...seeing her yesterday, she did not look good at all.

'Mornin' all.

I read the thread ridiculously religiously (thanks for being silly :wub: ), but I still have one misbehaving computer and my boss is asking for ludicrous things like a compilation of all the data I've generated on this project over the last year (waitaminit - I did the work! Ya mean ya expected me to keep track of it too?? Sheesh!) and this is hell week for Oliver (practice every night until 10, opens Friday).

Lyle is now totally indoors after the broad daylight coyote attack on the neighbor's cat (did I tell you that story?) and he hates it. Pees on the floor.

My days go something like this:

Get up, feed the cats, get coffee, check on the sillies, clean up cat wee, get more coffee, get ready for work, run out the door waving the flashlight and yelling hoping the bus driver will look down my driveway and see me, knit and chat on the boat, get to work and turn on the computers, stare at the numbers on one thinking "now what was I supposed to do with these", glare at the other computer that isn't behaving properly (repeat as needed throughout the day) scurry down the hill to the boat (no chatting, my friends are on the next boat) go to practice, try to stay un-irritated as all the diva personalities get tense and b%$@#y the closer we get to opening, go home, feed the cats, clean up cat wee, clean the litter boxes, pour myself a glass of wine, set the wine on the headboard after taking a sip, and fall asleep. At some point I'll need to clean up the collection of wine glasses at my bed. Probably when I run out of clean containers.

Going in an hour late today. Nasty headache. Probably all those stale wine fumes as I sleep.

My coworker is furious...So it just dawned on me, my winter coat has been hanging next to her coat for the last 2 days....Guess I'll be doing some laundry tonight.

Judy- she had a hysterectomy. She is 39 but had lots of problems since she was a young girl so this worked out for her....

We just were updated. She spiked another fever so she will be an inpatient another 24hrs.....poor thing.

Amanda! Thinking about yuur co-worker.

Head lice - - ewwww, but yes, it doesn't often happen that head lice are contracted from anything other than the infected person's head. I remember Jack having a buddy over years ago, and Jack actually putting on this child's winter hat, only to discover the next day that the boy was home from school due to lice. Jack never got 'em, so I think you're okay. . . . ..

Jess.......loved your daily routine account. :lol:

Um, something that may be of significance:

Took the dogs out on a purely hellacious run/skid/stumble (crazy that I did NOT turn 'round and head back after five minutes of this, but it is Gus's birthday today, and I know that this is the only gift he wants, ever - - an hour outing) :rolleyes: . So, as we were soldiering on, I saw ahead of me Mr. Chow, marching along. We catch up, and as I'm passing him I say "Hey! Good morning!"

He smiled and said hello, and mentioned something about how Gus and Elsie walk so well together. Now.......he is suddenly missing two, maybe three, of his front teeth! :huh: I've spoken to him regularly over the last sixteen years, and he has NEVER had this huge space. .. .....

What could this mean?? That he has always had a substantial partial, and just did NOT put it in this morning? He appears very fastidious and neat with his appearance....I'd have trouble with this one..... . ..

Did he have those teeth pulled? Or lose them. . .. . .... trying to unobtrusively slip into my ho' tub.. .. . .Was HE using crutches, and suddenly lose a rubber tip, causing him to crash to the ground, knocking out those teeth? :huh:

Whoa - -what do you think the next bizarre item just might be that I discover at the bottom of that tub?

.. . .. two front teef. . .. .......

:huh:

:lol:

Gosh hope she gets better. She has her youth on her side.

He's been using the crutch tip as dentive device. Had a big argument w/ Mrs Chow and she slapped him upside d'head, knocking his rubber 'dentures' out, causing them to fly through the air and land in the ho' tub. Previously was cinder block colored (matching his teeth ( :blink: )) but became discolored when exposed to the chemicals (or pre-teens) in the water.

      By trents · Posted

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:
