Oooooh...southern stuff!

Fixin' to

I'll be waiting with cheese on my tonge (baited breath)

I have to second the "swoled up"

chicken fried steak

Green beans (as in cooked to death with bacon)

Chocolate gravy, sweet tea...

mmmmmmm

Lynne: Don't kill your daughter! At least after the wedding she'll be someone else's problem :rolleyes:

...Over yonder

take a notion

Sunday last/next (instead of last/next Sunday)

"busy as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs"...

I managed to retain a little "southern", even after 10 years! :D

Have the guest book & the table placement was set with the catering manager yesterday.

Chelsea -- waiting to see what Ashley's decision is going to be . . . I talked with her pastor last week, told her WHY it was important to me to be in the front to give her away. I told her that I DIDN'T want to stand at the Unity candle while everyone was coming in . . . that, quite frankly, I am not CAPABLE of doing that -- I'd need something to prop me up! She said that she understood what I was saying, she understood WHY I felt the way I did, and that she heard the hurt in my voice. She also said that, ultimately, it is Ashley's decision. So, we'll see. I'm getting to the point that I have been biting my tongue so much / so hard that it should be bleeding! I am to the point that I just smile and say, "Oh my, how nice."!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

Should be some decend fodder to report afterward, though!!!

"I'll be talking atcha of an evenin" . . . another Southern thing . . . you wake up "of a mornin' " , etc.

Amen! I was fixin' to add this, but it slipped my mind: Have y'all ever said "tump"? As in, "Don't stand up in that chair, child! It'll tump over!"

Love all these southern expressions.

Here is one of my grandmother's, said whenever young people had children before marriage, "first you build the nest, they you lay the eggs'. :lol: She was Ukrainian.

Christine, glad to hear from you. I've been wondering how you are doing. That is great that you are seeing a counsellor, but $100 a session, yikes! I think I would ask the counsellor what goals will be set and met within this number of sessions.

Lynne, I think it was me that you were going to get the information for but no rush at all given the wedding.

More southern sayings: They were all over (him)(her) like flies on spinach . . . Don't know if this one is southern, though . . . as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs . . . . and don't listen to him, he doesn't (pronounced dudn't) know spinach from shin-ola. (Also, the older folks don't say "ho" --- they give it the good old long version!!!) Some of the older folks get the "swoles" -- swollen feet, etc. during the heat, and when the Good Old Southern Baptists faint during church because the spirit has taken them, "they done fell out" . . . . .

Have a good day, Rachelvillians . .. would you be mine, could you be mine, won't you be my neighbor???

Toodles,

Lynne

You're a riot, Lynne! :lol:

Yes indeedy!

I've said tump before.

:ph34r: I've been a military spouse too long. I'm sitting here trying to think of all the sayings I've heard and said and I can't think of 1. :ph34r:

Cissie, that meal make me so hungry-but, WHERE'S THE GRAVY?!! Gotta have gravy to dump all over and some melon with it to salt and pepper and smear in it !! Cucumbers with onions in brine--yummy.

Some Southern sayings-Old as the hills--hard row to hoe--beat a dead horse--can't get blood from a turnip-!

Carla-I grew up in Ohio too, but family was all from the South. Been away for many years. You are near Cincinnati, right? Well, I have to say that having lived in Cincinncati for awhile, I think it is one of the most "southern" towns I have ever lived in!!! When we lived there, I swear it felt like I was in the deep south!! Great area. :)

Rachel, you and the ice cream are just the way I would be if I found out after a while I could eat it. I would go crazy. That is normal, I think and totally understood. If I found out I could eat gluten again, heck, I would eat a pizza every night for a month. I didn't even eat it that much before, but I sure want Pizza Hut now!!!

edit--Great news from the Megan front--I cannot believe she is coming home so soon!!!

:I've mellowed out on the ice cream a wee bit....still eating it...just not in mass quantities. You know...cutting back but not giving up entirely...like eating 8 nuggets rather 18! :o

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

news flash - still waiting for the golden poops, they never arrived - - mommy FOUND her bag of nuggets, had hidden them from myself in the cupboard (yeah, that works) and Miss FAtty Fat (Annie) had found an old empty bag under a stack of magazines near my bed, or under the bed, not sure, and tore that open...... :ph34r: does this make me a terrible mother.....

reading on now.....

- Bu tI love me some spinach!!!!!!

"swoled up"

:lol: We also like to say "swolt up" - - from an old Richard Pryor album......yes, it was on vinyl.....

Lisa - - OMG, I did sort of get on you like white on rice yesterday....or it seemed that way....you must all remember that I was involved in an almost all-day long sewing project, didn't even make any jewelry as had to finish this and get it OUT OF MY LIFE.....I HATE SEWING..... :angry: makes me grumpy and crazy and note that I was walking back to the computer to decompress about every freaking hour..... :lol: I got all excited about the creamed corn and got a little crazy.... :ph34r: please excuse the agitation or any perceived attack...I am calmer today as am about to install the last of the curtains, after ironing...another heinous thing.....

Christine, glad to hear from you. I've been wondering how you are doing. That is great that you are seeing a counsellor, but $100 a session, yikes! I think I would ask the counsellor what goals will be set and met within this number of sessions.

very good point, Rinne.....there should be a determined goal....and Christine, I am not sure you should be making major life decisions/life changes until you really feel good and stabilized, just a thought.

Lynnie - - been meaning to address your gaseous dog - - - try this food called Bil Jac, it's not cheap but guess what, there is NO GLUTEN, Tika the Celiac dog :lol: has not laid a stink bomb on us for months, since she's been on this food! And no more D - poor thing, I used to scrape her sometimes pure liquid poops out of the grass..... :( my long-suffering, beautiful, lymphoma surviving, Celiac dingo girl :)

Don't post here in Rachelville too often, but sure love the laughs. Wanted to add a Southern-ism. My uncle, born in Georgia, lives in N. Carolina, would always say, "Come here an' gimme sum suga' " in his really cool accent. I didn't see him much growing up, but still remember that voice. I talk to him on the phone once in a while and he still calls me "sugar".

And, by the way, is everyone remembering to "tighten, release, tighten, release..." as they sit at their computer?

I went to the health food store yesterday and was looking for my usual loaf of bread (which I did not find) when I noticed that Glutino had made a frozen pizza. They also had a pasta meal but i didn't pick that one up. The pizza was feta and spinach and I have to say that it's wonderful. Is this new or have I been going to the wrong store all this time. They're not really up on getting the newest items in. :huh:

The only pizza I've seen frozen is Amy's. I think it must be new. :unsure:

Susan, Donna...are you both registered for Stanford? Is it too late? Is there a cutoff? Are you guys going for sure? I'm assuming there will be lots of food...which sucks for me cuz I cant eat it but what else goes on there? Need more info puleeeze. I want to go. :D

Oh yeah,hear you on the sewing and the ironing !!

It's got to be in my all time top ten of most hated jobs.

Funny that,because my Mum used to make all our clothes,darn socks ( :o WHAT!! Throw them away Mother!) and made ironing an art form.She even irons my Dad's socks and underpants! :blink:

I,apparently didn't inhereit them skills unfortunately.

I'm still loving your Southern witty little lines,but you guys don't always tell me what they mean! :huh:

I am an English gal,and I don't always get it!!(silly old me)

Perhaps I should give you some Cockney one liners ?(Some cockney rhyming slang still exists in my local lingo!! :lol: )

Okay, I've tried to reply to this twice and every time I do someone brings me work, lol. I am registered and paid for so I'm going for sure. I can't remember what the cut off is. Here is a link to the schedule:

and here is a link to the main page, which has a button for on-line registration:

I'm figuring I can eat a little but probably not most of what they'll have, but it should be fun anyway...I love to shop and who knows, BUMBLE BARS might be there! :lol:

Maybe they'll have gluten free ice cream! :lol:

She even irons my Dad's socks and underpants! :blink:

My brother-in-law is from the UK and while he and my sister were visiting his parents, my sister asked for the iron so that she could iron his pants, and they looked at her like she had 3 heads. She was like, "you know, his pants! They're wrinkled." and they said, "who on Earth irons PANTS?!" Bit of a culture gap there...pants being trousers in the US and pants being underwear in the UK

They thought she wanted to iron his boxers :lol:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
