Something About Nothing ... #12

killing a few minutes at work- old job. Am going to strictly PRN at end of month-i have several bonus pay rates in addition to my base and I thought id lose them when I switch from regular to PRN but found out today I keep them!

@TinyDancer For gluten free Bobs Red mill has lots of mixes that are gluten free and pretty good. Gluten is in a LOT of things. Was she diagnosed via skin or actual colon biopsy? The only true way to be diagnosed with a true wheat allergy is colon biopsy. If it's skin she may have a "sensitivity" but I do not like skin mediated "allergy" tests. Just about anything you prick the skin with will "react".

And I'd love if there was a misc trip report place. I got lots of info on community board and trip advisor for our Washington DC trips and to Portland but doing a trip report on them at TA isn't the same:rolleyes1

Rain off/on all weekend here again. Was gonna drag kids to silver dollar city tomorrow for few hours if it's not raining in am...

I got tied up and did not make my fp
Mind is not on it today so might work in it Monday

Did you get what you wanted, hope so!
 
Frozen was already gone but I didn't care much since I was concerned about getting Soarin. The good thing is everyone went for frozen so that left plenty of fps for test track and Soarin. I can do single rider for test track so it's all good :D
 


Since I'm using Mike's CM pass for my one Disney day, we can't make any till the week before. It's fairly annoying. But as long as I get to ride most of my favorites (except Thunder and Dinosaur since they're going to be closed) I'll be ok.
 
MonyK.......good news on the job front........always nice to hear a positive.......:thumbsup2



Back home after a night with friend that passed husband and one of the DD........lovely night.......and drank some nice wine...........luckily their house is only a 5 minute walk from ours........living in same village has its benefits!

Finishing off the night with a Port......slice of lemon.......ice. Nice. Quick catch up on dis before bed.......almost midnight here........
 
Couple hours ago I got an email for AP discount off the deluxe hotels for my time period



Only problem with it is my dates of stay the hotel is booked up

But pbh hotel has openings
I'm not switching hotels
Will stay where I am booked
 


So we're in this 115 year old hotel in Point Pleasant West Virginia. Crazy old room, could be haunted, getting drunk with the owners in the bar. Fun times!

Was about to ask about that green thing attached to a cord.....

Then realized it was a phone



Room key is a hoot


If you drink enough, you won't even notice if the place is haunted

TinyD so many eateries have gluten free bread and foods these days

Know the parks cater to those with wheat allergies

Should be able to find lots of recipes with Google

Non in my family is gluten free so I'm no help with recipes

That's what I was just telling her. She had a very convenient time to have an allergy that has many things in common with gluten problems. 10 years ago this would have been a lot more difficult! It's just overly frustrating for her right now and seems all too much. She lovesss crackers, snack foods, sweets, etc. She's been wheat free for 5 days and said as much as she HATES to admit it she feels so much better. It was causing tightness of her chest, overfull feeling, swelling, etc. The doctor said that was the allergic reaction....
We've just go to learn. We just spend $100 combined at publix and shopped around a few other places. We did not make it to Whole Foods or Fresh Market as we got a late start today. My fault. Business was crazy!
There are a lot of things she can't have, but there's also a lot of things she can and that's what we need to focus on.

We went to outback and they brought us bread and I was just like AHHHHHHh nope. Taking that home I can't sit here and eat it infront of her I'd feel bad. We ordered cheese fries instead:)

It was skin. I do the skin allergy tests too and that's what I'm on my allergy shots with. I however did not have any food allergies via skin tests.
The way our Dr described it is anything that is more than the controlled variable which is the histamine response is a true allergy and anything less than that is a sensitivity. Her histamine response was a 4MM hive. So she said anything between a 1-3 is a sensitivity and anything above a 4 was a true allergy.
I don't frankly know as I am a business major... when I have anything medical I walk to her and say help or google it. I know our allergy Dr is very well known and known to be VERY good at what she does.. I, however, cannot pretend to grasp if skin allergy tests are true or not.

I'm familiar with Bob's as we sold many of the products at the bread wagon. That's actually the brand that most of the flour that I bought is. I also found a brand that is highly loved on the internet called Pamelas. Got some of the ginger snap cookies and they're very good!!! Better than my full'o'gluten one.
Now, gluten is not her problem wheat is, but as those two usually go hand in hand.... I was tested for Celiac's disease and so was my father and we don't have it though many of my symptoms are the same exact. I was honestly shocked when the biopsy came back. Her and I have a different father though.

I do think it's a true allergy though. She tends to feel like hell after we leave restaurants. The other night we ate at Texas Road House and of course we ate lots of bread... by the end of the movie we went to after she was having a very hard time breathing. She of course wouldn't let me take her to the ER and she did end up being okay, but she gets those types of reactions frequently when we eat places. She's only been wheat free for 5 days and she said she does feel better as much as she doesn't want to admit it.

I don't know... Just seems weird to me that shes 30 and just finding out about this. Maybe it's new as you can develop allergies... just weird.
 
I have heard a person can develop allergies any time

The skin allergy tests can be a hit or miss
When one of sons had the skin testing last fall, it showed he had allergies to dogs
Turns out it was not valid
Was around dogs and no reactions

A lot of money and turned out not to be valid

So starting over again

I wish the best for your sister tinyD
It has to be miserable for her

Sounds like she is off to a good start going gluten free
 







I am so getting one of these!!!!!



Mac, I wouldn't change either.........we're happy where we stay regardless of offers.

Love a stay in a quirky haunted place! Nice key..........



Another dodgy internet day........whole area apparently! Works intermittently.

No email at the moment.......



Gonna be a long day.............
 
Nope...at work now until 3 pm...at least the first few hours will be tolerable. It's saying 100% chance of rain so we'll see :umbrella:
 
Aww.....well, hope your day goes quickly.......rain will be good for your tomatoes.......lol......

It's kinda weird here today.......sunny, cloudy, warmish, coolish all at the same time........not a breeze though......

Chinese takeout tonight for us..............DS is staying in tonight so said he fancied Chinese food........sounds like a plan.........we have no plans tonight either........quiet night in with Game of Thrones and wine :thumbsup2
