We just started mygym yesterday for Colin. He absolutely loved it. He tried to take over the place! He was running all over.. it was like a gold mine for him, as we dont have a lot of space in our house, so the open floor just had him crawling around like a mad man.

We are trying to get ourselves together for our trip to Disney next Friday. We will be staying in my parents house, so I need to get baking to bring down bread and some snacks. It feels so overwhelming just for a vacation. I know most of you have done this already, this is a first for me and I need to sit and put things in perspective.

Hi Stephanie,

I love MyGym! My nieces went there frequently when they were younger, such a great place for kids. One of them even had their birthday party there, they did such a great job and everyone had so much fun.

Good luck with preparing for your vacation :) Just take some deep breaths and everything will fall into place. I think it gets easier with time, becoming almost routine taking care of the many little details of a special diet.

Linda,

You sure have been busy! I'm glad that both of the boys, and you :lol: , are enjoying hockey and that's great that Ty is joining in and really making a lot of progress on the diet :)

Has anyone been following the reports on the latest hostage situation/school tragedy in Colorado? It's upsetting to think about how easily it was for this guy to come into the school with a gun, take the 6 girls hostage, sexually assault all of them and then kill one of them. So very scary, sad and tragic.

Julie,

I think I saw a headline a couple days ago but I didn't click it to find out where the school was located. I have not read anything about it.

Yes julie.. I have been as much as my stomach will allow. It makes me physically sick how these things happen. I think back to how naive I was in high school. I couldnt even imagine that happening.. now its more and more frequent. I feel so deeply for those kids in that school and those poor girls. They are scarred forever. The one that was killed, may her soul rest in peace. The poor girl. I pray for all of them that live in that town. It must be awful

Julie,

I've been following the Colorado school story. My question is--how did that man get into the school in the first place? The school I worked at here had locked doors, and when you check in, your face appears on a screen in the main office. If you don't have legetimate business there, you won't be let in. I don't know--possibly he lied his way in?

It's just so unfortunate. That poor girl, she had just turned 16. The whole thing is just so sad.

From what I understand, the school is not locked down, unless I heard wrong. It's in a relatively small town so maybe that is the reason. They just held a press conference and I was watching it, they have video of the guy sitting in his car on the school grounds, so they suspect he had been there at least an hour before going in.

There are conflicting reports that he asked a student where he could find a list of certain students and he was directed to the classroom, again not verified, but I can't help but think was this a situation where he found these specific girls on MySpace, or something similar, if it was planned out or what.

I guess we will see as we learn more.

I feel very badly for all the girls who were assaulted, and how very tragic the one who was shot died.

Boy, you think kids are safe at school.....

So very upsetting.

Julie,

I just went and read the article online. My daughter wanted to know what was going on. I wonder how much this will haunt me the next few days or whatever. She scares easily. Makes me glad I'm homeschooling. I reiterated that she could make friends at church, she didn't need to go to school for that. We haven't been to church much lately. Once Mitch has healed up enough he will take the older two so they can go and Seth won't have his nap messed up all the time, unless we go to our old church, then the drive would be long enough if he fell asleep right away.

I live in a smaller town and would think it was totally safe from this type of thing also.

I have to wonder if the swat team made things worse for the girl that got shot. The article said she tried to run at that time and the guy shot her then himself.

So sad. :(

I can't even imagine such a thing happening. And then it does. :(

Like it.

Patti has a new one of her kitty that is cute too.

Rachelville is almost dead because your smiling face isn't here. :)

We've all branched out into helping newbies and such I think.

How's school going?

I've started homeschooling my daughter (1st grade). If she wouldn't be so hard on herself it would be much easier. :P

Carla,

Morgan's smiling face is probably another reason this thread hasn't been very active. :)

Hope all is well with her.

Yes, she's finding college to be a little harder than she expected, but she's adjusting well and making friends. She has no time for Rachelville now. :( I'm sure she'll pop in occassionally to say hi though.

Thanks Nikki! You know, I really think the gluten-free cat food is making a difference with him. His coat, which has always been beautiful, is even softer and isn't matting at all on his back. He's throwing up less, too :rolleyes: Guess gluten wasn't so good for him, either. I just wish I'd changed him over a year ago! :D

How are your kitties doing?

:D You got that right! He's really got the life--eats, sleeps, spends hours grooming and has me to clean up his litter box :lol:

Ohhh, I miss my kitties. :(

I'm a cat lover but my kiddies are too young and rough yet. We also live in a rental that doesn't allow pets.

I live vicariously through all your guyses pets.

:( I have a sick kitty!!

Poor Felix (my rather large shiny black kitty) has bad teeth and has to go into the vets next week to have all his teeth out :blink:

I noticed he wasn't eating much,and wasn't his usual friendly self and he was dribbling alot,so took him to the vets and he said all his teeth are rotten and they have to come out (although they will try to salvage any if they can)

Poor thing-it was such a trauma getting him in the travel box.He knows as soon as he sees it where he's going! He cried like a baby all the way there,(and wet himself! :( ).I don't think he likes the car journey either.

Anyway he's on antibiotics and Prednisilone until his op next week.

The vet said once his gums heal he'll be able to eat fine as the gums harden up.

Oh no! Poor Felix :( That sounds terrible. At least after the operation, and he heals up, he shouldn't be in pain anymore. The poor little thing. :( So, he'll be able to eat--that's interseting (and good).

That's the sad thing about a pet--they can't tell us when somethings wrong, so a lot of times when we notice something it's already progressed.

My cat dosen't like to go in the car either--of course the only place he ever goes in the car is the vet! :D

Please let me know how Felix does next week.

On a completely different note, is your son still scheduled for his procedure this Friday? Boy, you have a lot to deal with right now!

CarlaB Enthusiast

My Dad is quite OCD -- did you ever see "As Good As It Gets"? Well, that fits my dad to a T!! He brushes his dog's teeth every time the dog eats! :lol::lol:

Yep, Alan is scheduled for Friday ( Oh please god don't let it be cancelled again)

We have to ring the ward before we leave on Fri morning to check it's still on.

I hate uncertainties <_<

Felix is booked in for next Wednesday.

* wringing hands * So much anxiety!! (My eczema is flaring up big time! :o )

LOL! :lol:

I'm not even gonna go there!!

I have another cat ,and she can be nasty! She'd scratch me to ribbons .

I don't know why but I've found that castrated males make much better pets.

Ooops :blink: LOL! I think the above statement could apply to men too!!! :lol::lol:

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
