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!

Hi Julie:

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.

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!

AndreaB Contributor

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 Andrea B. Lucky you to still have a baby in your arms!

Judy:

I changed mine because my name is so strange and if I googled it my profile came up. ;););)

Green12 Enthusiast

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.

:lol::lol:

I havent changed my name Judy....I'm still Rachel. :)

Although it might be a good idea right about now. <_<

My friend has found some of my "personal" stuff on the OMG thread....I may not ever leave the house again. :ph34r:

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.

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

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

Yes, I agree on both counts.

Come on Rachel, put a new pic up for a few days....even through the weekend, then change it again.

Rikki

that's what happened to me..you could see where I was on the forum and god forgid..you could click on the email i guess without registering on celiac.com???? now that's scarey if true.

oie

how hard is it to change now.

at least my picture isn't here.

breathe judy breathe.

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:

flagbabyds Collaborator

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... this makes me think, shoud I change my name? I have had flagbabyds since this board was made like 3 years ago, and i had it on the old board too like forever... wow

Me unlike Rachel, I change my pic constantly and can never keep it the same.....................

Rachel you for sure need a new PIC, please, you have had that one forever! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

Yes, Judy I agree with Patti, they would have to know your user name is "JudyinPhilly", so it might be more difficult to find you.

:lol::lol:

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.

Green12 Enthusiast
Julie,

Are you going to change yours or leave it?

I haven't decided yet Andrea, are you going to change yours?

I did a search and they would have to put in "Julie +Celiac" to find me, not just Julie...so I dont know :unsure::unsure:

CarlaB Enthusiast
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.

:angry::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

      Wow!! Scott, Trent and Christiana thank you so much for your fast replies!! The information you have shared with me has helped me tremendously.   Thank you for all the articles.  I appreciate you all so much!! I’ll keep you posted in this post.  I will encourage her to get tested.  I feel a little better!
    • DayaInTheSun
      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.
