She was feeling pretty special last night. Bill & I have been married a little over a year. We met about 18 months ago. Long story but to make it short......we met on the internet.....come to find out I work with his mother....small world, huh? We went out on our first date & on our 2nd we went to meet his parents & then we went house hunting. We met in January....moved in in March....closed on our house in April....got married in July. She just loves him so much! It is pretty awesome! Ok, now I can't stop smiling! Ha!

Awesome story!! Sounds like the two of you were meant to be. :wub:

Chelsea -- have beer too.

:lol:

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:

Yeah Chelse...you probably wouldnt even notice....arent you pretty torn up already?? :P

Pink and Purple....hmmmmm....I dont recall liking those colors as a child. <_< Am I the only girl who didnt go crazy for pink and purple ribbons?? :unsure:

I can tell you one thing for sure...now that I'm an adult I really dislike pinks and purples (except on flowers). I have nothing in either of those colors. :P

I had to wear a lavendar dress with matching lavendar heels for my moms wedding. At first I thought I might die but it actually wasnt too bad. I got over my phobia of "purples" just for that one day....only cuz it was my mom who was getting married. :D

If I ever remember to do it...I might just change my avatar to a pic from the wedding...it would have to be temporary though...I'm kind of attached to this one. :P

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

Growing pains.... :lol:

Yeah...we have subdivisions now. :P

Oh...did you notice the new forum?!! How cool is that??

Great idea for the board!

Hey Tavi! I see you got a new name. :)

Yeah....Rachelvillians have scattered after the move. They're all over the place now....doing who knows what. :rolleyes:

They've rebelled and gone over the hill and are gorging themselves with gluteney foods. :lol:

Hi Rachel:

So how come everyone left? Was it something I said? I did have rather bad gas last night :D:D:D ....Ayway, couldn't stand the worry over using my name so I changed it. I thought if I put Rikki Tikki everyone would know it was me!

Swittnauer: It is hard and you just have to know that he has had a relative long life and he will hopefully be at peace.

Sorry to interrup the ice cream thread........but I am bustin here. Can I yell and scream in Rachelville and no one will hear, but listen.

I think that I should resign my post as Senator as todays, politics did me in. Ever feel "Nobody loves me, everyone hates me...I think I'll go eat worms".

Bad day at the Preservation Meeting. We got sold out by the town who was worried about a law suit, by a TOWN COUNCILMAN. Town Council, appoints the Preservations Commission members (with semi-judicial authority)..that would be me, and currently Chairman. Town Manager is staff for the Town Council.

Town Councilman wanted vinyl replacment windows in his historical house, we denied. (wood, wood,wood), threated to sue the town, and they caved.....leaving us with our fingers up our *** (nose).

No reply needed. I am just screaming out loud.........CAN YOU HEAR ME.

I so resign my position as Senator for Rachelville and would like to solicit the position of Town Cryer if the job is open.

Lisa

Premature post

Lisa, we live in an historic house, but not declared a preservation district. To compromise, you might suggest Anderson renewal windows. They're less expensive than wood, look like wood, hold up better than wood ... if they're painted on both the inside and the outside, rather than stained, they look just like wood. We're very, very pleased! We got them both for the price and for the look. We would not have sacrificed look for money. In fact, they look just like the old ones we replaced, except that the inside air stays in and the outside air stays out ... also they open and close, what an novel idea!! It's a little unnerving when they come at your house with a crowbar!

Yep, I saw Rikki Tikki as the last post and said "That's Tavi". I came right in.

How have you been? Some of the girls are on the Tazorac thread and some are here. Tazorac seems to be all girls so it just depends on what you feel like. Some, including me, are going to all of them right now....but may not be able to do more than read all the threads in about 3 weeks. I will make sure I post. Don't consider me missing unless you've checked my profile to see when I was last on.

Hubby will be heading out tonight for southeastern Oregon. He will not be home until Thursday in all likelihood. I'll be lonely and hoping the board is somewhat busy til then.

Gotta go play with the baby, he's crying and wants attention. Probably already woke up Mitch. :(

Hi Tavi, love the new name. There will definitely not be any confusion as to who you are with that name :lol::lol:

Judy, I guess that is why everyone is changing their names, feeling a little weird about having such easy access to all of their personal stuff .

Rachel-- you must put up the picture of you in the purple dress and heels!!!!

I had a pink bedroom 2000-2002, I was really into shabby shiek and had all shades of pink and mulberry. Now I have a red bedroom :lol:

Andrea- we will keep you company while Mitch is gone :lol:

I have to say too, I love our new home for the OMG scientificness thread.

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).

:lol::lol:

My Dad, my grandmother, my husband and I were in a limo going to my grandfather's funeral. My grandfather was quite the joker, and we noticed a bugger on my dad's glasses. We all started laughing about it! So, as we pull up to the funeral, we're all giggling and laughing ... everyone had to be wondering since we were the family! We decided it was one last practical joke that grandpa was pulling on Dad.

One time he called my dad and pretended to be the power company ... it was snowing like mad, and my grandfather had seen that on the news. He asked my dad to walk around the corner to see if the street light was on, so when my dad got back after trapsing in the snow, got on the phone and told grandpa it was on, grandpa said, "Well, blow it out you dummy!" My dad hung up and took the phone off the hook. My grandma was so mad because she had wanted to speak to my dad. So, the bugger had to be Grandpa's last practical joke.

Judy--

I was just thinking, your user name is "judyin"--not judy. If someone were trying to find out things about you, they would first have to know your user name--right? If they just typed in "judy", they wouldn't get you, would they :blink:

Morning all.

Good to see you Ryan!

I've got three weeks til my daughter and I start school and during that time will be trying (note: I said trying) to only be on here when I won't be teaching. :o A monumental task at that. :P

I found that most of homeschooling was waiting for them to finish this task, then waiting for them to finish that task ... of course that was when they could read, so by the end of first grade ... I spent time entertaining myself on the computer a lot when I homeschooled! :rolleyes: You know, ya' have to sit there and watch them work, or they don't!!! :angry:

Rachel,

:ph34r::o:lol:

If your friend has already been reading it won't do much good as far as that person is concerned. You just have to decide whether anyone else you know would read through the epic and whether it is worth it to change your name.

Julie,

Are you going to change yours or leave it?

I gotta wait till I'm on my home computer....and then I have to wait for a moment in time that I'm not feeling too lazy. :rolleyes:

Possibly, this weekend....depending on the histamine levels and brainfeeze factors. :P

I never really wear dresses....only for special events. My mom getting married qualified....I'm just soooo thankful that I didnt trip or anything like that. I havent had much practice in heels so it was a tiny bit scary.

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

I'm in Cincinnati, where are you?

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

Well, six year old girls anyway!! :o

I'm going to order school desks the end of the month so they won't be here by the time we start, but I wanted to get them. I'm getting four, one for each child and me. Don't need them all right now obviously, but I want to save on shipping. They are pretty inexpensive, the ones with the opening in front instead of the raised top. I'm pretty sure that's what I'm getting. I need to make sure they are turned to the wall when not in use so baby fingers don't check everything out, and we don't have a lot of taste tests going on.

I'll always be on at some point at night.....probably when you east coasters are in bed and I'll be on at various points during the day, just can't browse as much as now. Speaking of taste tests....in progress on a pretty peice of paper.....oops a little paper story from Our Big Backyard. Just retreived and saved....Talitha would not be happy.

:lol::lol::lol:

I am the same way! I live in running shoes and cross-trainers, or thongs, definitely everything flat, or at least nothing over a 2 inch wide heel. When I was in my brother's wedding I thought I was going to trip for sure going down the aisle in my bride's maid's heels.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
