I just wanted to second this. I have a RN friend who loved being a school nurse. She is now a teacher in a duel credit high school program for kids wanting to go into nursing and loves that, too.

I'm all about cabana. They are the only taco place with a drive through that I can get gluten free food that I'm comfortable eating.

I used to know a guy who had pointed caps permanently put on his canines and frequently wore red contacts. He worked 3rd shift a lot. He knew what combinations of prices at gas stations would ring up as $6.66 and used this knowledge frequently to completely scare the bejeezus out of poor, 3rd shift cashiers. I guess…

and some parts of Texas. It's up to individual cities here.

This school does have uniforms. (I live in a neighboring suburb that has a slightly more restrictive dress code.) They have to wear polo shirts or colored button up shirts and black or khaki pants. School Spirit t shirts on Fridays. Duncanville doesn't even have color restrictions. So a lot of kids were wearing their…

That's interesting and I hadn't looked into the differences. I suspect I have both since I had/have both the traditional initial presentation of Celiac symptoms and immediate reactions to exposure.

Hopefully, when the fad fades, the awareness will stay.

Actually, the auto immune reaction causes inflammation and the inflammation is what destroys the microvilla. I do get asthma attacks when I get gluten because it causes inflammation in my lungs as well as my gut. If I actually tried to eat a regular cookie, I have no doubt that it would cause anaphylaxis.

Agreed. My son has been GF for 8 years now and it is much easier today than it was when we started.

I saw a news story about that several years ago. They focused on a man who became obviously physically male at around 12. They talked to him and his family and then more about the prevalence of it on the island. I can't remember what show it was on now but it was very interesting.

You have to have a very specific sign to prohibit concealed carry permit holders in Texas. Not only does it have to have specific language, it has to be regulation size. And even then, if you are concealing properly, no one should know you're carrying anyway.

That's pretty awsome. I have loved Franzetta's work for as long as I can remember. When I was a toddler, my mom painted a copy of the Death Dealer for my uncle and a copy of a flying snake painting (it reminded her of the Pip and Flinx book series. ) She had two large art books of his work that I wouldoften pull out…

PF Chang's Gluten Free Mongolian Beef is also excellent. They are the only Chinese place I can eat at anymore.

I think there Is a school specializing in Down's Syndrome and MR kids In Dallas, but that's pretty much it as far as specialized schools. I don't think there was anywhere else for them to be in my area.

In our school district, 20 years ago the Junior high level had one class room of children who weren't mainstreamed. That was autism, cerebral palsy, MR, everyone. Now there are three classrooms of 15 kids (with about 4 times the number of kids with severe autism). The district has gotten bigger, but not 3 or 4 times…

Good for the FDA.

You can't make your friends relationship decisions for them. You can only hope that they come to their senses and then don't succumb to the stupid emotions that drew them back like a drug. If you bad mouth him, you don't understand and you're the bad guy. If you say he was a total jerk, even if he was, she'll probably…

I'm so sorry.

I'd be pissed about that, too.

My Dad started clowning about 5 years ago through the Shrine, so they go visit the children's hospitals and raise a lot of money them. Mom joined him last year as a clown. They have a lot of fun, but they have a lot of time and disposable income for costumes.
