Susan, you have to really look at the Ostrich. That sucker will cheer anyone up. When I get kinda down, I come on here, look for my ostrich and then just smile. He has the most goofy loving look and that is why I wanted him from Floridian. So, remember to look for the ostrich and let him take your cares away.

Thursday morning I leave for the airport and my trip to Las Vegas. Lynne and I have our planes land about 15 minutes apart. That is so cool. We are going to have a great time. We both have been trying to get plenty of rest this past week, so that we can really enjoy ourselves.

i agree, everytime i see your ostrich, it brings a smile to my face :D

Yep. Since you're the oldest, you need to find yourself a man. Get married. Have babies. :D I won't turn yours into rotten brats ... I'm saving that for your brother's kids!

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Good

Yes, Susan I am rooting for you too. Having that company was really good for you but now you may be having the downside of those good times, sorry. But sometimes it works that way for us. :angry: Just hang in there, better days ahead. I always like Psalms, most of them have some happy times. Will be thinking of you. :)

Andrea, that little boy just looks angelic in your last pic. Did not think he could be any cuter than on the floor but he is. You have such a nice looking family!!

I also like the 'Bird", just what we need here as a mascot. Hope all the suffering people are feeling better, I am so I know it is no fun but we know there will be a better day just differs how long!! :) have a good evening all. evie

I got mad at God this morning very momentarily because I read a proverb or psalm, can't remember, and it said that things would be so good he'll "feed you wheat." I thought, "Great, then I'll be SICK!!" Funny how things hit us when you least expect it!

Carla--so enjoyed this from you, honey! What a riot! :lol:

OMG Gray's Anatomy will take care of so many things.... ;) Dr. McDreamy is the new Matthew (McConnaughey) and he is my new love....

WE need gray's anatomy but for tonight, I'll just settle for some good celebrity gossip. ;)

LOVE THIS SHOW AND CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME BACK!!!

Susan--sorry your having a rough patch..I agree with Carla (I think it was) who said ...wallow or take the time to feel and heal...take it from someone who stuffed feelings down for years. last few years allowing my self to feel and get ANGRY which I was taught.."good girls didn't show anger" so I guess getting fat was the alternative :ph34r::D Good Grief... :unsure:

Maybe in my younger years i was so busy (bringing home the baccon and frying it up in the pan...want ever the rest to the stupid saying was) that I just got thro the days as best i could and of course..being the best parent you could be..now there is time for me..don't waste the years 'stuck' in over analyzing everything. alot of time was wasted doing that by me too. oh lordy, I'm lecturing..sorry..was trying to help ...at 64 I guess you'll just have to deal with the 'jabbering' old lady :lol:

Hugs and love and tissues for you my 'Dingo girl'

Thursday morning I leave for the airport and my trip to Las Vegas. Lynne and I have our planes land about 15 minutes apart. That is so cool. We are going to have a great time. We both have been trying to get plenty of rest this past week, so that we can really enjoy ourselves.

Have a great time Armetta and Lynne...wish i could join you.

Hi to the rest of you cyber buddies.

Thanks Evie.

We adore the little guy. He's just starting to cut his first tooth.....finally! He's also a very tired little guy as he fell asleep on the way home from errands and didn't get his regular naptime in. Getting all geared up to start school with my daughter on the 4th. Still trying to round up some stuff for teachers aids....need to finish my lists and then figure out where to get stuff, or what would need to be made (which will probably be the case).

Every time I look at the ostrich, I think it is one of those trick pictures..... You see an ostrich, but also, if you look at it's beak, you see a hamster's face also...... or is that just me being weird again???? ;)B):D

Karen, that hamster's so cool! I love hidden pictures... & like you I see them everywhere, whether they were put there or not! (My kids make fun of me for all the times I say "Doesn't that rock look exactly like a...")

Makes me think of the weird things people sell on eBay-- toast with an image of Elvis, &c.

I totally admire families who home school their children, takes a lot of discipline, love and the teacher (usually mother) has to give up most outside of home life. Our minister home schools his 12 yr. old son, his wife works out of the home so he does most of it. A family near us home school their dd, she is their miracle child, blended family. They had both been married before, she had 2 ds, tubes tied so had to go thru surgery & etc procedures/ $$$ in order to have her. Also a church family did home schooling for many years, oldest girl REALLY excelled in classes and music, she is nearly thru college and married to a youth min ister. Next oldest son finally made it thru, bit of foot dragger and works with a musician. The last three went to public school since last year and really like it but mother had to turn to other pursuits since a divorce in family a few years ago.That was a really tragic deal. The father is a very 2 faced person. The mother is now our church sec. and going to school, there has been a lot of couseling for whole family. We all try to be supportive for the family here.

I hope I have not been too specific. :huh: Just not in aggreemnet with the hamster idea but I do like the mouse (bird), good try though!! :blink:

Hope all are fit and fiddle (faddle) today, I am going to iron my pants i finally finished hemming last night and wear them to my quilting group and get some more food. Its a wonder we aren't among the 2/3 of the US who are overweight the way we eat. But hubby just put cover on our asphalt driveway this am and trimmed a dozen yew plants near house so he wil need some and I need bananas!! :P I am not nearly as energetic as would like to be but like to meet/ quitling group 1 x a week if I can even when I have to wear support on my wrist. Will aslo visit a 92 yr. old former neighbor and take her some home applesauce + tomatoes. I am a people person as most of you are, I think. Better 'get around' as hubby says. :) Wish you all a good day!! evie

Evie,

My outside life is this forum. I like to stay home. I like people too, but find it easier to "meet" with my friends here (on the forum).

Have a fun day today! :)

oh good googly moogly....I wake up, putter around, wander over to the computer and this site.....Armetta is now a mouse who is an ostrich but really a hamster :blink::ph34r: Chelsea is a kitty-penguin, Morgan is having grandbabies....what else? HI Robbin!! so nice to see you! Cisie - - where are you? Karen - you are a lunatic....

Andrea - that baby boy is so CUTE!!

Evie - you are so busy - MORE ironing and hemming? ironing doesn't happen much here and the day I had to iron all eight silk curtain panels was purely heinous, I tell you.....

Wish you girls were all HERE and we could sip tea and laugh and cry and eat some of Leah's wonderful treats.... :)

Seriously, your encouragement brought a tear to my eye, girls. :( The last three days I'd like to erase off the calendar.....never thought I could get that depressed again and feel like a fraude for evangelizing that removing gluten is the cure for all depression. I am back on a low dose of antidepressants :( and feeling sheepish and unhappy about it....this black pit I find myself in is from the excessive (and valid) worries I have over my future and the normal things in life I DIDN"T have that I grieve....I won't go into details but I just get knocked down with sorrow at times, and then it passes. But usually, since removing gluten, it's maybe just ONE mildly bad day and then back to normal....this one is severe. Gettign back into the creative things always helps and I'm about to start some botanical illustrations again....made two necklaces last night....yay! Creating, for me, is the way out of the abyss. I stopped painting, mostly, years ago and that was a huge mistake.....am finally feeling the desire to start again.

armetta - Vegas - - good googly moogly what fun! .....will be thinking of you and Lynne,

GRAY"S ANATOMY - - can't wait - - - can't wait - - - Robbin it really is dr. McDreamy's PERSONALITY that sucks you in - - easy on the eyes, yes he is, but you just fall in love with how tender and kind he is.... :wub:

Carla - the Beatitudes - am going to go read them now! thank you...also Psalm 91, 40, and my daily dose of Proverbs. I skipped Bible study last night as I didn't want them to see me that way....

What else? Just know that your kind thoughts and words and just seeing you all here brightened my mood considerably. :)

Much love to you all.....

Susan, don't you dare think you're a fraud because you still have to battle with depression. I'm glad you got the help you needed to pull yourself out of the pit. The mind is a complicated thing, influenced by gluten, sure, but even gluten-free isn't all-powerful. I'm just so glad you are coming out of it. We need you!!!!!

I'm a big believer in art as therapy-- that's probably how I got started in the first place! Painting is not only therapeutic, but is in itself a sign of health for me... not painting is my biggest danger sign.

I'm sending you virtual meringues & paintbrushes.

Hang in there!

Sending me virtual meringues and paintbrushes.....what a delight....can you somehow make them REAL and not virtual? :) But here's something.....that miscreant singer JR, whom we have alluded to in here (I erased the actual posts), bought me very expensive brushes - at least ONE good thing came out of that.

I gave up painting for years, and yes, that is a danger sign, despite the nagging of everyone....lost every bit of desire to paint and never thought it would come back....and now, it is here again, mercifully. This is a huge thing!

I'm so happy for you-- I predict a wonderful flood of work. When I've passed through a creative block, it feels just like a tsunami-- you know how all the water goes out to the deep sea & the ocean bed is dry for miles? That is the block. Then when the wave comes, look out!

Go forth & paint!

Celia, you are a fruit cake LOL. I am going back into the postings looking for whatever Penquin is suppose to have done. Could not find anything, unless she is sitting right next to you and she goosed you, I have no idea what she did. Oh, well, since I am always two weeks late in figuring anything out in my mind, I am normal - he he. :blink:

I have hit refreshed and F5 - Nada. Maybe she removed whatever by now. All I see is the penquin.

There is nothing wrong with taking anti-depressants, no matter what Tom Cruise says. Anybody who needs them should take them. So, none of you should apologise for doing what is necessary to give you a normal life back.

Are you guys referring to the cat face on the penquin. Sorry, but I noticed that some time ago and thought you were talking about something new, that I was missing. I miss a lot, so nothing surprises me. I did have my glasses on and this time I put my nose up to the computer to make sure I missed nothing LOL.

Thanks for the good wishes for our trip. I am all excited. I am packed and just killing time. Hope I get some sleep tonight. I go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, but never with a girl buddy. This is going to be fun. Lynne has never been there. We won't leave the hotel too much, but she will see the Volcano and I want to take her to Ceasar's Forum to see the sky, etc. And of course we are going to have some very nice dinners. And she also plays the pennies and nickles. Hopefully she does not play them the way I do - he he.

      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

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
