I'm gonna get going, have some errands to run plus I'm getting a cheek cramp (and not the cheek on my face) :o

Oh my gosh, I gotta go also, Rachel's Slumber Party/Chatroom Girl Talk Thread is posing to be a huge excuse to avoid doing all the work and projects I have to do.....excellent and fun time - waster (well not that it's wasted time but you know, so much to do around here and can't just laugh and e-chat all day!!)

And Andrea, you are so right about Sarah.....so, if she was 90 in biblical times and gave birth, maybe you can halve that age and I'm still good? :rolleyes:

Chelsea - - good for you for leading those girls! - - -I've been looking into Big Brothers/Big Sisters and am concerned because I am SO broke right now, still no full-time job and currently not even a PART-TIME job as the writer I work for has been gone for two weeks......if I had a little sister, what would we do? Even gas money is scarce......

You guys are awesome......all kinds of laughs, encouragement, support, and heck, I only started on page 90 or so.....as mentioned before, need the Cliff notes to catch up on the other chapters...........

I'd say 50 or so actually. Wasn't the average age 120 then. That's about 35-40 years beyond ours..so don't give up. :P

Susan, my Grandma had her 4th child at 46 and my SIL had her 2nd at 44. You can do anything you set your mind to ;)

WHAT???? so there is still hope for me? (44 years old)

Now that I'm gluten-free and not drinking, I think that my, um, selection process for dating candidates will be MUCH healthier than before...... :rolleyes: but I had totally ruled out having children....problem is, I really want grandchildren!! :blink:

Susan, there is always hope, and always many possibilities. :)

I've been following this string almost from the beginning. I didn't check it after about 2:30 PM yesterday, so when I checked in this afternoon it had gone from page 101 to page 112!!! I'm so dizzy! :blink:

I'm crashing this slumber party! It's the absolute BEST!!! :D You all are so smart and witty and caring and loving! Hugs and kisses to all! :D:D:D

About babies, sure you can have babies when you're in your forties. Go for it! After my first three, my mother was embarassed to death when I would turn up preggers again. Nice people just don't DO it that often!!! :lol::lol::lol: Poor daddy. ;)

About alcohol, unless something dreadful happens to my body because of it, I intend to have my Jack Daniels every Friday and Saturday night. I'm a loyal Tennessean! :lol:

Rachel, I pray all goes well at the doctor's today. I'll check this string in the morning.

And your ovaries

The ovaries...old, chemically/medicinally fried eggs in there..... :blink:

First need a man, I don't care what that other thread says about not needing the male, I will want one for that.....oh, and I'm done looking, so God himself has to send the guy to me when it's time!

thanks Julie, Floridian, Patti and Andrea for all the encouragement about these older women having babies. You know, I never even really wanted one that badly, until now, when the gluten-haze has been removed - - - somehow I am looking at them now in this whole new light, and then think I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!! :o

Oh, nanny will be required too as I am old and tired. :P

No worries, Jack doesn't bring any gluten to the party ;) Neither does Jose, Jim, or Evan :)

Welcome to the party Cissie.

I think it's pretty hilarious that right when a couple men join in, everyone starts a long conversation about ovaries.

:lol::lol::lol:

Yea...my husband is very cool about that kind of stuff--not embarassed at all.

It would be even more for me....I just bought an organic 100% grass fed 3 pound chuck roast for $27. :o

My DH got over his embarassment real quick when I had an emergency need for monistat. He's also been sent out for emergency OTC UTI meds, emergency phazyme, and emergency pregnancy tests. He's also present at Sam's when I buy tampax in bulk :lol:

He's a good kid :)

Sunday marks one year of marital bliss!!!

Personally, I got over the embarassment of buying tampons/pads when I was old enough to need to buy condoms :ph34r:

My DH is also good about buying whatever it is that I may need. :)

We usually by the ground beef which is still very pricey but we bought it on sale. I had to call my mom to find out how to do pot roast. I'll still probably have to call her back tomorrow when I make it. Of course I have to adjust ingredients as I can't use wheat flour to coat it in. She also uses onion soup mix which I won't use. I haven't had pot roast for years...probably since I was last living at home...about 20 years ago...that's a long time...hope it's as good as I remember considering my mom won't be making it.

Our grocery budget is through the roof. Organic isn't cheap.

This isn't embarassing or anything, but just today Mark went to Whole Foods for me on his lunch break (it's near his work, but about 45 min from here). The store is under renovations, and he had to ask the guy where my Kiss My Face soap and Zia cleanser were--all the time on the phone with me making sure he got the right things. :rolleyes:

what comes to mind here is my phobia of "proper" words .... I can't say "menstration" and the rest of those.... I get SO embarrassed... now I can say the "slang" for everything and I have no problem.

OMG--me too! I've never heard of anyone else that was the same way! Spooky :ph34r:

Well I'm off to my appt. :)

I had to catch up on the thread first...I feel like I'm running late all day today. Late for work, late coming back from lunch and now...if I dont move my butt, late for the appt. Could it be the thread? :o

Nah.... :P

BTW...The last guy I dated wasnt at all bothered when after only a few dates I sent him to the store for tampons. :lol:

It was kind of a test but he wasnt phased at all...I think he was actually happy to do it. :huh:

Many times after that he brought them home....knew exactly which ones to get too!

Oh...we werent living together....alot of times I was too sick to go to the store though so he went for me. :)

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you so much for your validation. I completely agree with you that the crackers COULD be the culprit even with very small trace amounts (less than 20ppm) and accumulating over time - I am at the point where I am about to request that my son gets retested to make sure that my "control subject" is still testing perfectly lol. I have a meeting with my celiac disease doc tomorrow and will run the crackers by him to see if he is willing to retest in a few weeks. I have not had any of them for the past 3 weeks so far, so fingers crossed, we can retest and hopefully find out if it is them. And no - I have been scouring EVERYTHING to make sure nothing else has changed. Only use gluten-free lip products and toothpaste so not there either (but very good suggestion). Thank you for validating me. I feel like many are just saying "you are not being gluten-free enough - but I do have a perfect 16 year track record that proves otherwise - so has to be something sneaky.

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.
