***NEWS FLASH***

My husband took the bug (who is STILL alive and kicking) to the entomologist, who thought it might be a tick til he got it under the microscope.

IT'S A BLACK COCCINEAL BEETLE.

IT'S NOT A TICK!!!!!!!! :):):):)

I looked up 5 different links about coccineal beetles, and they all said that they don't bite. WRONG. :ph34r:

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously- what a relief!

How's your week been?

Um, well, THAT is because, let's face it, the coccineal beetles had never encountered the lovely decolletage and hidden under-the-bra spot of miss Alison Fiddle-Faddle Celiac.

:lol::ph34r:

(I'm sorry, I couldn't resist).

But GOOD NEWS!!!

Hi everybody! a drive-by.....I am SO far behind!

<she said . .. uhhhh . .. . . . . . . . . .wth she say??> :huh:

OMG Tsu-zon you really cleared the High Bar w/ *that* one. :blink:

bududump-bududump-bududump-bumpbump

The Linguistic Ranger Strikes Again!!

I must commend you.

Seriously, that word was not only the first one I had to look up(!) here, but I'm real sure I'd never even *heard* of it before!!

Luckily, txting "D decolletage" to 46645 (googl) got me THIS:

Glossary:

Decolletage: A very deep, plunging neckline which reveals a lot of cleavage.

Source: www.bridesave.com/glossary.cfm

After all this time - you've been palming Aces like this?

(Of course LMAO the whole time I'm writing) :lol::lol:

Bravo!

<too much?> ROFL

[Edit:

P.S. Or, :lol: , do all the women know that word and in my ignorance I'm mucho overly impressed? :lol: ]

Hi Carla,

You know what? My estrogen problems cleared up. I'm not really sure why. It may have had something to do with having my fibroids removed and all the changes I made in my diet. I did so many things, I don't know which one it was, or maybe it was all of them. My estrogen used to be high, but now it's ok. Maybe on the low side, if anything, because sometimes I still get hot flashes. It also could be because I improved my egg quality. I was told by a couple of doctors that high estrogen is a sign of poor egg quality, which happens as you get older. Isn't perimenopause fun - not!!

Claire

Hi Claire,

I don't think I have an estrogen problem ... my LLMD wanted me to take this, and I know it's one of the functions. :) I'm glad yours is better. I'm not quite to perimenopause yet ... I thought I was because of the night sweats, but that ended up being from babesia! :lol:

Hi, SusieQ!! That is the funniest thing I have heard in WEEKS!!!! :P:P:P

How are you doing?

:lol: Glad you liked it. And thank you for asking, and you too, Andrea, I am doing MUCH better.

And guess what, I can CLIMB again......but no bouldering or jumping off things (duh). Found out I couldn't do treadmill any more, and must seriously ease up on the weights.....BUT - - - - I CAN climb w/ rope, it's just easy, fluid movement with no jarring of the spine. :) I am thrilled. In fact, heading over there now. Back feels SO much better, as I"ve done almost two weeks of NOTHING, which I did not like, but which really has helped things, because from the research I've been doing, and people I've talked with, it seems that doctors don't really KNOW what to do with the back, so the afflicted must *usually* just find things to manage and ease the pain (chiro, acupuncture, massage, whatever).....my doctor still hasn't gotten back to me or referred me anywhere. :huh:

Um, Tom? you are WAY too easily amused. Yes, settle down.....everyone knows that word.....

Okay, so the test you were talking about, where was the galvanic reaction ... I still don't get it.

YAY, YAY, YAY on the climbing!

I was just finishing booking the flight, so ready to laugh at EVERYthing!! :lol:

I did, at least, realize I may have unwittingly fallen into the trap of the cleavage-impaired.

I'll go to the *grave* believing Men don't know that word. (Well, not straight non-fashion-designer men) :lol:

"Lamps Plus" is NOT a lightbulb emporium! :P

And that "surprise" (dang! did I really use "surprised") u speak of was in NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE!!!!!

<tsk-tsk making fun of a mere child>

Okay, so the test you were talking about, where was the galvanic reaction ... I still don't get it.

Hehe it's at the tip - where 2 types of wires are connected. The other ends are where the galvanic voltage is measured.

Does that do it? I'll play until it's muy claro (habla espanol?). Anglais?

I'll keep on talking until it's crystal clear!!

"Looking for the name"(s)?? :blink:

I know I haven't been getting out much for a few yrs but I'll still be very surprised if they're *"named"*. Are we talking a couple little nametags? Tattoos? Please not barcodes and PLU#s!! :lol:

Ohhhhhhh OK! It must mean "hoping for the GIRL'S name to register!!! <phew! that was tough!>

ROFLMAO!! :P

woohooo SJ here I come!! :lol:

(There's actually a chance I'll grab an Apt while I'm there!) :):D:):D:):D

[Edit]****

P.S. Whoa just noticed that Susie's avatar caption was changed from " <sniff>:( " to "Yay!:)" !! How great is that?! :)

Lisa - I wish I knew about the coconut milk too. The thing is, I'd seen something written somewhere, probably on this forum, but just don't remember whether they had a mold issue. I know they *liked* it. I'm reluctant to hazard a guess, since my reasons aren't that good.

Then again, u already had the stuff!!

I can't deny I'm curious, w/ u having so many problems w/ so many foods, how the 'asking' came second.

Tom, no comprendo ... pienso que no puedo entender sin hablando ... pero es ok ... no necesito entender. Es muy interesante que hay personas quien prueba lamparas y bombillas para voltaje.

Oh, I was married in 1984 ... you are older than I, so you were not a child in 1985. :P

Lisa, it's just a guess, but I would think coconut milk would be okay. On fruit, you can see it's moldy ... on a coconut, the milk is inside, and I don't think they'd be able to use a bad coconut for the milk. My guess is it's okay ... but don't know for sure. I guess after tonight you'll be able to give us the verdict.

OMG I have seen Dave Wakeling (English Beat) three times in Monterey. Fantastic.

Tom - - I think you are getting a little over-excited about eveything and must calm thyself.....probably was the talk of cleavage.....

You may be right ... straight, non-fashion-designer men may not know what it's called because they're too distracted by looking for the name to register in their brain.

And speaking of, I am SOOOOOOOOOO flippin' jealous of women with cleavage. <_<:angry:

Great news Susan! Please take it easy. :D

Thanks, Mama Spice. :) I had a FANTASTIC climb and some very gentle weights. I haven't even FELT the pain in my back for about six days or more, and haven't had pain pills in taht many. But, I do feel a very minor ache now, it will probably be gone by tomorrow.....

don't worry, no climbing tomorrow. :ph34r:

Has Rachel left us for good? has she left the board? WTH? That is sad and wrong. :(

Would swimming help your back?

Knowing you (funny concept, as we've never met face to face), whatever you try, you will overdo it at first from the sheer joy of being able to do it, so BE CAREFUL!!! Give yourself limits, and observe them strictly.

It's better to go slowly and actually get there than to do too much and end up going backwards.

I pmed Rachel, hoping I could help to calm things down, but I failed. :( She pmed me back a long, angry letter, saying that she was done with this thread for good.

Not only was I unable to dissuade her, I think I made her angrier. :(

I'm very taken aback by the whole thing, because it did NOT seem like our Rachel. :blink:

Well, imagine that!

They don't know what to do with the front either, or the brain, or the bowels, or...

Would it be worth seeing a physiatrist? That's a sports medicine doctor, kind of like a physical therapist with an MD, or like an orthopedist that doesn't do surgery. They specialize in managing pain without surgery, and are very into physical therapy, chiropractors, etc. At least, the one I saw was into them!

Canned coconut milk should be fine. It actually can kill off some of the pathogens in your gut, so go easy on the stuff, or you might get D from die off. There are a couple of interesting books on the "miracles" of coconut milk.

And guess what, I can CLIMB again......but no bouldering or jumping off things (duh). BUT - - - - I CAN climb w/ rope, it's just easy, fluid movement with no jarring of the spine. :)

Well, I thought you were a climber too! I think you might of missed my message awhile back about climbing. It's sooooo good for the back! I have scoliosis, and it's very helpful. DH has been climbing for 30 years. A couple of years ago, he had to have back surgery for a herniated disk. Climbing has been good exercise for him. He's my rope gun!

No full moon...maybe Jupiter was NOT aligned with Mars?

All I know is that Saturn is moving out of my sign in September, and I'm very excited about it! That's when I'm doing my IVF. Virgos, watch out. You're next!

My tooth is getting less painful and sensitive, so I'm hopeful it will be all better soon!

Alison....this is just not true at all. :huh:

This is actually how my pm started out...

Alison,

You really dont know me...I am not at all upset or placing blame. I dont need a safe place to vent...I'm perfectly fine with my decision to walk away from this thread.

I'm very much in my right mind tonight....and my feelings arent going to change tomorrow or the next day. I dont care who's to blame....I'm not concerned with placing blame. I dont like to be surrounded by negativity....period.

I'm not going to post all of it because its personal but there was nothing angry about my pm to you. My letter carried the same tone as these first two paragraphs. I'll be sending both your pm and mine to Scott. Yours was not anything meant to try to calm me down....it was to provoke me.

You really need to not discuss our conversations openly...and especially when you're not being honest.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)?

It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
