Unfortunately, this is what the writers had to wait around for . . . no more new shows so finally the public will start getting upset, quit watching, advertisors get mad and pull commercials, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah!!!

Even if they start writing right away, then they've got to get to filming and editting . . . I think it's going to be awhile!!!

No, I am right there with you on this :lol:

Most all of my favorite shows have aired, or will be airing, the very last episode they had in the can before the strike started <_<

All I have left to look forward to is a few eps of Lost when it starts at the end of Jan.

I heard this might drag on, they were saying there might not be any new TV for the fall 2008 season :o

Yep Julie--me too :) It will only be 8 episodes, they originally planned to air 16 straight--I was really looking forward to that--but will take what I can get at this point. :P

I do miss a couple shows like Grey's and Two and a Half Men, but really, not as much as I thought I would.

I'm getting addicted to "House Hunters" on HGTV :ph34r:

One of my friends uncle works in the industry and he said that all the writers HAVE the scripts but they won't sell them because the strike, obviously. But, he said they think it's going to go until September!!!! :o AHHH!!!! I miss all my shows too!

I'm kind of on the side of the writers...they get the really really bad end of the deal in Hollywood (really, really bad), but I do miss some shows.

I found myself watching Dance Wars: Bruno vs. Carrie Anne the other night :ph34r:

I think Grey's was new last week, but it was sooooo bad! <_<

There are some great shows on the Travel Channel though. Anybody else watch Anthony Bourdain?

Ahhh I envy you folks who have cable. We live out in the country where there is no possible way of even getting cable!!! We have an antenna.

My dad loves 2 & 1/2 men!! It's a pretty funny show.

I too have to confess...I watched part of the biggest looser the other night :ph34r: ....I was just happy to have something that I hadn't seen before!!! ha :lol:

I miss :

Grey's Anatomy

Men in Trees

Desperate Housewives

Brothers and Sisters

Two and a half men

Friday Night Lights

I don't get to watch them all regularly, but I guess regularly enough that I am missing them!!

I feel the worst for the other people, like the folks who work on the set who aren't going to benifit at all from the strike (make-up artists, KRAFT Service workers, janitors etc). Those are the folks who I worry about. Most probably live paycheck to paycheck to begin with, and now they have NO work!!

But I REALLY miss Friday Night Lights!

I'm not allowed to have expanded cable. :ph34r: Self- imposed rule......I would do NOTHING but watch HGTV, any kind of ridiculous "reality show," the Food Channel, History Channel.....and then how would I have time to waste time chat with my friends here? :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is not a criticism of the shows you like to watch as they are probably on after I go to sleep anyways and I don't watch them & don't know what they are all about..but I have basically stopped watching TV years ago as nothing interested me. So I am not missing much I feel. I don't watch the reality or dancing or Idol shows anyway. Oh, there is one show I do watch so I guess the strike will affect me.... I like to watch Monk on USA cable. Oh well.

Honestly, I don't do too much of the reality TV either, I watch the American Idol, but this will only be the 2nd year, we do watch wife swap and sometimes Super Nanny.

We perfer shows which are on A&E and TLC like Ice Road Truckers and Little People Big World....our new favorite is Parking Wars....boy that is funny. Those are reality shows but I think they are a different type of reality show.

Oh and Brothers and Sisters was just getting GOOD! They just dropped a bunch of stuff in our lap, like that new guy is he really Rebecca's father, what's gong to happen in the election, the affair is out in the open....

Yes, the writers strike is creating the ULTIMATE cliff hanger!!

I am wondering also what is the deal with Rebecca's father....was it William or is it this new writer/drifter type guy....hummmm. Also, why is she so embarassed of him and not want him near her. Did something ugly happen there or is it just because he is Rebecca's dad??

I also can't believe that now Robert doesn't want to have a baby......is he scared because of the miscarriage or what is his deal??

On to Friday Night Lights............geesh the whole kicking the sister out deal was pretty harsh!!!

I miss my shows too! :( I don't understand how the strike can continue when George Clooney offered to lock himself in a room with the writers and executives until a resolution is reached. I would not turn down that offer! :lol:

:lol::lol::lol: I know! What's wrong with them? LOL

Did anybody watch Grey's last night? I know it was a re-run, but I fell asleep the first time I tried watching that episode, and I kind of wanted to know if the woodpecker guy was going to live :lol: ...so....I made a second attempt at watching it. Um...I fell asleep again! :blink:

Is there something wrong with me or was that just a really boring episode? :unsure::lol: Did the guy live? What did the gentlemen's evening turn out to be? LOL. Anybody know? :lol:

Sorry Mango--I turned it off after the last new "Ugly Betty" for a while. I know last week, they repeated Thursday's episode of Grey's on Friday night....

Ok--I just checked ahead on TiVo--it's on again tonight at 8 Eastern. I never saw that one, so I think I'll watch it :D

I am watching Life after People on the history channel, very interesting. They were just talking about Chernobyl the place in the USSR which had the Nuclear Accident. This part sent chills down my spine. TMI is in our backyard, I can see it on my way to work...and I live in the 10 mile radius. Yikes!

I couldn't watch past the first 15 minutes of that show. Didn't do a thing for me.

I prefer the comedies on CBS on Monday nights (although they're all repeats now <_< ). My guilty pleasure at the moment is "Big Bang Theory".....it cracks me up :ph34r: I actully know a few people like that :lol:

I'm actually a huge fan of Dancing With the Stars, but this I just haven't been able to get in to.

What is Big Bang Theory?? I don't even recognize that......

DWTS is starting up again in March! :D Can't wait!!!

Big Bang is on right before Two and a Half Men--it's about geeks who live ascoss the hall from a cute, perky, but kinda dumb blonde. The geeks are so OC that it just makes me laugh.

I can't wait either :D:D:D

It's always exciting to find out who the Star dancers will be. I would think they will be announcing them soon, they start training 6 weeks before the first show I think.

Exciting! :lol:

OH, ok. I know the show you are talking about, with the actress who played the daughter on 8 Simple Rules and that guy that was on Roseanne. I just didn't know the name of the show, looks cute :)

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      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?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      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.

      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.
