:lol: :lol: We're actually going to have to get quite detailed in our discussions on sauce, cuz I"m not totally comprehending..... :blink:

Hehe I do find a blanket anti-sauce stance amusing but have discovered it doesn't have the comedic potential I'd anticipated.

It still feels like it should be funny! :wacko:

Tis NOT cig time!!!!!!!!!!! Just.......try.........and.........resist.......until 10. It's only half an hour away!!!!!!!!!

Yeahhhh I was probably also wrong about the 10 o'clock thing . .. . :D

Tho it DOES feel like I got over the 1st hump.

Today really only became THE day cuz I didn't want to go buy any.

*I'M* still surprised. :o

I can't control that part that cries out "Cigtime!", but I think I'll be able to keep disobeying it.

It'll stop crying out by Friday. :)

Hey, what about that heinous book that's supposed to cure EVERYone from smoking? what is that book? will look it up......I have heard celebrities discuss it, and how heinous it was, but effective.......

There's a BOOK????!!!!! :angry: :angry:

AHOY SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ahoy? :blink: )

I have neglected you but I'M BACK :D

Ok,......the article about A's trip to Orlando in my local paper is Open Original Shared Link (A is next to Mayor in Red hat & blue T-shirt) :D

T'was rather chilly in Orlando yesterday (yes! Mummy checks the temp everyday :ph34r: )...did he have his warm fleece on?? :unsure:

I find myself constantly counting back 5 hrs thinking 'what's he doing now?' :rolleyes:

NEEAAAARRRRRGGGGG !!!!!! :blink:

Driving myself insane :lol:

GADS..it's doing wonders for my diet - lost 4 pounds this week!! ...or is that loss of brain mass?? :lol:

I am very encouraged by Phathorgmn's & Sarah's efforts (Oh no!! a Sinus transplant needed??? )

Call the CS number on the bill and explain that you forgot since it was a new account and sweetly ask if they would waive the late fee this one time. It's worth a shot--many times they will if it's the first time ;)

<snort>

Patti is clearly the master ducker and diver of all creditors ;)

If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.

GAHHH!!!!

I salute Uncle Ray!! :lol:

I'm so far just a smoker who isn't smoking.

Fa- tormh........I will always be this

One day at a time - a bit like AA......'Today' I will NOT smoke ;)

OK - the sauce debate.

I myself don't like 'wet' food much.....prefer crispy toppings to soggy sauces :blink: .....but not as fussy as Kissey :lol:

Morning Sillies!

2nd day in a row where I got to sleep on my own!!!! YEA!!!!'

Bye Sillies....must start some sort of work...blah!

Good Morning, Sillies!

Well, yesterday afternoon my DD got her new retainer fitted...I can now barely understand what she's saying. This morning, I hear: "Gab yoo bib me a bripe do shloo?", and I stare at her, like this :huh: . Then she looks at me like this :angry: , and repeats it. I'm like this :wacko: . Finally, I decipher things ("Can you drive me to school?"), and look like this :rolleyes: .

OMG.....she's wearing this hardware 24/7 for how many months?!

You know there is a way to tell, right???? Have somebody ring your doorbell. If you start clucking like a chicken, then you were hypnotized!!!!

:lol::lol:

How did you end up faring through the night, Ptaumn? I would think that the first day (or two, or three) is the toughest....I believe there is a Dummies book for quitting, and many of them are known for good, solid advice. YOU CAN DO THIS, PTAOUMEAUS!! :):)

Ok,......the article about A's trip to Orlando in my local paper is Open Original Shared Link (A is next to Mayor in Red hat & blue T-shirt)

YAY!! Great piece in the paper, Nikki! Jeez, perhaps if I could send both of my kids off to some faraway place, I'd be good for eight pounds.... <_<

OK - the sauce debate.

Gus eats nothing saucy. Not even gravy-covered stuff. Weird in a human, but simply extraordinary in a dog, methinks.... :huh:

Just got some exciting/nice/panicking news to share . . .

A while back, I started a topic on what a sweetheart our school nurse is. Well, last fall, the local paper did it's yearly "nominate the best nurse" campaign (any kind of nurse, not just school). There was a drive at our school to send in letters of nomination for our nurse. I have now been informed that our nurse won "something". She is one of six nurses invited to be honoUred at a banquet. She is allowed to invited 9 guests to fill her table of ten. Her husband, son, and daughter are going. The school district superintendant and the principal are going. And four moms who wrote the best (read "made the selection committee cry") nomination letters (there were about 65 sent in for our gal). So . . . I've been invited to go. I've also been informed that I might be asked to speak . . . :panicfacewhatcanyourhypnotherapistdoformetom?:

No, Silly!!! The mayor is in the Red hat & blue T-shirt . . . that would make A wearing the red cape and a lace collar . . . it would also make him (AND Nikki) considerably older than we thought!!! :lol::lol:

Yay! Good one, Janet!

Gotta figger out what you're gonna say.

You could start off with something like, "Well, everybody, I want to tell you all how terrific Nurse _____ has been in our school experience, but first, let me ask you something about suction cups and metal cleats".....you know--just to warm them up a bit...... :rolleyes::lol:

:lol: Retainer induced speech impediment! It will get better. Somehow her tongue will just adjust and she'll be talking like normal in no time. Although she may find she needs to take it out for French class. I was still seeing a speech language pathologist for a mild stutter when I got my retainer and she told me I could read aloud to myself to quicken my tongue's adaption. Even without that I bet she'll be talking pretty much normal within a week.

Nikki --- very neat article about your son's big trip. Has he hit Magic Kingdom yet? I bet you can't wait to hear all about it right from him when he gets back!

I hear: Ah cabba booshat. AT!!

parent's response: you want your blue shirt off? You're hot?

I hear: Ga Ga GA!

Parent's response:Ok. We'll take your blue shirt off.

ummm, yeah :ph34r:

Hmmm! I exPECT to feel like a non-smoker pretty soon.

Not today tho - still a smoker who just isn't smoking.

It still feels like "time to light up" every few minutes.

But that's more from the Habit side.

I'm surprised I'm not feeling cravings.

No gum, no patch .. . ..did the hypnotherapy do this??? :huh:

OK - the sauce debate.

Yep....that's about where we're at right now. By the time I get so that I can decipher what she's saying, she'll be sounding normal. With toddlers you've got a few months of de-coding....

Way to go, Ptauogmn! You're over twelve hours by now! :)

SUSIE! You got a MySpace page!!! :lol: I sent you an Add Friend request.

:lol: I caved. I don't really have a ......page though. Suppose I should actually do something about that.

So . . . I've been invited to go. I've also been informed that I might be asked to speak . . . :panicfacewhatcanyourhypnotherapistdoformetom?:

Great news!!!!!!!!! oh - except about teh speaking part. Terrifying. But yes, DO ask them about suction cups and cleats as a warmup......can't miss with that. :lol:

No, Silly!!! The mayor is in the Red hat & blue T-shirt . . . that would make A wearing the red cape and a lace collar . . . it would also make him (AND Nikki) considerably older than we thought!!!

gah :lol: :lol:

Great article Nik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG what IS Alan doing now???????????????

I believe 'Coffee' and 'Something Green' are the other two

yes, but what about SUGAR?

How did you end up faring through the night, Ptaumn? I would think that the first day (or two, or three) is the toughest....

I've always heard 3 for the physical addiction to subside.

It's remarkaby easy so far.

Starting the all-out strict anti-candida diet was a LOT harder!!!!!

I'll tell ya what else is surprising - I expected to be a little grouchy about it. But it's all smiles'n'giggles 'round here. :lol:

I *do* still have that one part of the brain calling out "CIGTIME!" quite regularly, and some other part chiming in about the habitual ones - just took a lil walk & of course I used to ALWAYS light up once I hit the sidewalk. (I do love my triple-wide sidewalks :P )

It really hasn't been hard at all to resist .. . .now it seems 'resist' is too strong a word.

I don't see any serious obstacles from here on out. :) :) ;)

(Better not have just jinxed myself!!!)

YAY!! Great piece in the paper, Nikki! Jeez, perhaps if I could send both of my kids off to some faraway place, I'd be good for eight pounds.... <_<

I like "good for eight pounds" as a song title.

I'd been pondering the suction cup vs. metal cleats shoe question and kept going back and forth. But earlier today, when I took Orwell for a walk, I accidentally stepped on his little paw. He let out the most heartbreaking little yelp -- I almost wanted to cry. So no metal cleats for me, for health and safety purposes. I'm not sure dog ownership is for me if every little yelp and whimper makes my heart hurt. And on that note, what about kids. How can you deal with seeing your kids hurt or sick? Doesn't it just make your heart hurt TOO MUCH??? Jack's big shoe question has got me thinking of some other big questions. :huh:

Of all the questions that have been raised or hinted at on this thread, the one about how does your son come up with totally abstract questions is not one that has ever occurred to me.

OMG - - I am quite sure that THIS is why God has not allowed me to marry and have kids, cause if I marry now, it'll be too late. mygawd.........even when I took Annie for her teeth cleaning I was a TOTAL mess. And after they've had surgery, with a deep, stitched gash or something - tumoUr removal, whatever - I practically need to be sedated. :huh: I don't know how parents can be parents and just function in the world.....send the kids off to school and stuff like that.........you jsut have to have massive trust and let it all go.

Watchign my Stinker go through her chemo treatments - - OMG. She was the most stoic and noble dog....sat in their completely silently, watching everything going on around her, her beautiful and solemn brown eyes taking it all in as she sat w/ an IV in her arm for up to half a day while other whiny baby dogs screeched and yelped. :( I wasn't really allowed back there....but we had to go every week for a while......it nearly did me in, FAR harder on the mommy than the dog.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh I miss my beautiful girl.........her quizzical smile, head tilt, bright, inordinately intelligent eyes and anticipatory, gentle (or spiral/helicopter) tail wag for just about anything......even in her most weakened state. *sniff* :( What a girl she was.

OMG - yes, IS Tom absinthed, with all his giggling? :lol: and NO massive desire to smoke!!!!!!! OMG! that is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and speaking of Absinthe - I finished off the last of our bottle last night. Never once saw the phaerie. :angry: Alas, spilled most of the last glass all over coffee table, which resulted in a frantic and mad cleaning and oiling the table last night. This all happened whilst Kissey was, er, indisposed (you'd think he's celiac w/ all his bathroom time) and, when he came out, it was all cleaned up, so I denied it. The huge waft of anise in the air, my amused shrieking and the piles of rags rather gave me away...... :lol:

SArah, YES! a hypnotherapist!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

mygawd, stomach is quite upset today and there's really stinky suspicious poop. Is it the big pot of chili? zoigs. I loved it. :(

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet. Vitamin D and Depression: Where is all the Sunshine?

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Here is a link to the spreadsheet I kept to track my nutrition intakes.  Maybe it will give you ideas. It is not https so browsers may flag a security warning. There is nothing to send or receive. http://doodlesnotes.net/index3.html I tracked everything I ate, used the National Nutrition Database https://www.foodrisk.org/resources/display/41 to add up my daily intake and supplemented appropriately.  It tracks about 30 nutrients at once.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
