I try to find humor in everything (forgive me, but even funerals - like the time my grandfather's brother was laid out in coffin without socks on - shoes but no socks. Now my sister & I recalled that he never wore socks even in winter and it just made us giggle to see that. That sent us into the worst case of giggles where we had to leave the funeral home and walk outside a bit).

Hehe...just imagining this has me kind of giggling too. :lol:

Gluten Screener....that sounds great to me Debbie! I suspect some individuals in particular will keep you on you toes. ;)

I just looked at where you live. A little bit too far for our daughters to meet up. :(

Wouldn't that be nice. Isn't anyone in here near KY?

Welcome, Debbie, consider this your official citizenship document... (I'm the village calligrapher)

I wish I had your gluten screening expertise in my kitchen after the boys have been in there... it's scary!

Last night my husband gave her his school desk from when he was her age. She just looked so cute sitting in it. I was touched but then again....I'm touched by everything it seems. I'm sappy to say the least.

That would have touched me too. How very sweet. :)

We, of course, will just have to paint it pink & purple though. I think most 6 year olds would put in the same request.

Match.com. The thing is that I was online deleting all of my addresses & switching email addresses & for some reason I looked at his picture & just sent him a line that if he ever wanted to talk that he could drop me a line. I didn't have my picture posted because I really wasn't expecting to meet anyone. I was basically wasting time & looking out of curiosity. He said he never responded to any emails or anything without a pic but for some reason did to mine. Anyway, here we are now.

That made me laugh...I'm sure the little beagle wasnt amused though. :P

Lisa,

Sorry things didnt go well today. :(

Chelse,

You must be one tough penguin! I cant believe you made it! I couldnt have lasted a week......I'm proud of you! :D

Beagle -- or as we call her - the bagel, is always nuts. She is pampered and was the queen of the house for 8 years, until the two year old came around.

Lisa - please feel better - politics are just that -

Chelsea -- have beer too.

I love to make people laugh - I try to find humor in everything (forgive me, but even funerals - like the time my grandfather's brother was laid out in coffin without socks on - shoes but no socks. Now my sister & I recalled that he never wore socks even in winter and it just made us giggle to see that. That sent us into the worst case of giggles where we had to leave the funeral home and walk outside a bit).

Ok, I find humor at funerals also. Please forgive me. But I want to remember the good things about people. For instance, I went to a funeral for a fellow rugger and I could not stop laughing at a picture his family posted in the reception area --- it was the young man wearing nothing but an apron running down the aisle of a grocery store. He was the produce manager! Now mind you, he was the quite type, so this made me really laugh that he cut loose.

Hi Picard!

I wish I could be like that. I guess for me, everyone in my life that I have lost have died so tragically, and the sadness too overwhelming.

I've never really had anyone close to me die. I have been very lucky. However, my grandfather is in very poor health & is day to day lately. He had his 93rd birthday I believe just a few days ago. I don't know how I'll deal with that when it happens.

No way! I don't want that kind of punishment! Beer absolutely tears me up.

Although at this point, how would I know the difference :huh:

Our daughter is also NUTS about pink or purple.

I havbe a request for some warm wishes/prayers. I am waiting to hear on a HUGE posting (the Greenland thing) by the end of the week. I really want this, even though it will be hard away from the family. However, it is great for my job. I'll keep you all updated.

Hi everyone, glad to find that Rachelville continues joyfully. I am so impressed by how graciously these growing pains have been handled.

My computer is still not working as far as this site goes. Is anyone else running Windows 2000? Yesterday I felt just horrible about it and my sweetie actually offered to leave his work computer for me but I said no, I'll be O.K. :(

Ryan,

I've been wondering about the transfer. We will keep this is our prayers.

Thank you for the Deglutinzer/security designation. Yep, that's me constantly wiping the kitchen table to avoid any CC after I make my lunch (before I go to work every morning).

Switenauer that's a nice internet match story.

Good luck Ryan

Yes, pink and purple are girly colors. I love when little girls do little girl things and don't grow up too fast.

Rinne,

I don't know what to tell you about your computer. Have you cleaned up internet history, cookies etc. We have windows xp now although the operating system shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I tried to respond earlier but my computer was acting schizoid. It's fixed by rebooting. We really need to send it in but it's not life threatening and I don't think I'd do well without my computer for 1-2 weeks.

I still like pink & I'm twice your age. I'd love a pink room now. Ha! When I was little my room was lime green. Yuck!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
