Sometimes I think those who have an actual, confirmed Celiac diagnosis should carry a card that will let people know we're legit.

1 in 133 is what I've seen and read on all Celiac websites (Celiac Disease Foundation, for instance).

May I ask where you got the 1 in 1750? I have Celiac disease and every resource I've ever seen has the number at 1 in 133 (though many are still undiagnosed).

The unfortunate thing about Celiac disease is that it can present in many different ways and is often misdiagnosed. I wasn't seeking a Celiac diagnosis when I went to the doctor and I'm very lucky that my doctor ran a battery of tests to rule out different things. My symptoms were bloating, irregular BMs, pain in my…

I don't understand who would send their child to this camp. Or who would read THG and think "Yes! The camp theme I've been searching for!"

Sounds like a Color War gone horribly wrong.

They exist in Portland (which is a world away from NYC, I know). My kid currently goes to a daycare and when she's old enough I'll enroll her in the half day preschool. I'm also a teacher, so I am well equipped to supplement her learning at home if needed. I know not everyone is able to do that.

I feel the same way. It's not a nickname like Red, where she embraces it. She doesn't understand/like that people call her that. I really hope we get more of her backstory in season 2.

I am not a math person. I am a teacher and I didn't really "get" math until I started taking my math for educators courses. No one had ever taught me the process behind it before. As for my math requirements, my strategy was to attend every class (because that helped your grade), turn in all my homework and went to…

That was money well spent! TBH makes me so happy each time I watch it.

Rosie is the best thing to happen to RHONJ. That picture/quote is great.

I once saw a girl get swarmed by people and all she had was free Cinnabon samples. Poor thing looked traumatized when it was over.

Very true. I could just see Joe and Melissa making a grab for the kids under a misguided attempt at family/fame.

Gabriella is totally the one that is going to bolt when she's 18 and never look back. It's been plainly obvious to everyone (except her mother) that Gia has been in pain about her family's situation. Poor kids.

I wonder if Joe and Melissa* will take the kids and if Bravo will keep them on the show. It's such a sad situation all around. I haven't really watched the last couple of seasons, but it seemed like Gia was becoming very aware and sensitive to her family's public drama.

I know that critical thinking is not her stong suit, but did she really not think this would catch up to her? She's been flaunting her "wealth" on tv for years.

Yay! Celiac disease is such a pain in the ass. An expensive pain in the asss. I hope this makes things a little easier for us.

I love Leslie and Ann's friendship. And Chris is such a sincere cook, I'm going to miss his endless optimism. Sigh. This better not be the end of my favorite show. It's about the last thing I watch on NBC.

I read it obsessively in 6th grade, before I got my period. I still have a copy and hopefully my daughter will be interested in it some day.

They have a first time kit you can order. The only thing it's missing is a copy of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
