It's the wedge cut that every female in America had after she was in the 1976 Olympics. See new avatar. :P

:lol: That picture is so-o-o-o funny!

I have naturally curly hair, which was always the bane of my existance back then. To acheive the look, I used Dippity-Do and wrapped my hair around my head at night. Worked pretty well, too :lol:

I wanted to BE Dorothy hamill so bad! Still do.. she's so cute and perky yet elegant!

I love the band idea and accept the position of lyricist. So we have a singer, Miss Olivia, who also plays guitar and daniel who plays guitar. So now all we need are drums (pots and pans will do) and bass. AND A NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A very clever name. :P

They could be Olivia and the Dingos!

Or Olivia and the Silly yaks

or Swinging From Chandeliers

BTW isn't the word DINGO such a fun word, and so useful for so many things? I do like to say it :lol::lol:

:blink: Sounds like something you'd do at a barn dance!! :lol:

:lol: Dippity-do was a very strong, stiff gel-like goop in a jar, used to "manage" hair. I guess one of the first hair gel products. VERY stiff and crazy, I believe that hair could virtually NOT move with that stuff on. makes me laugh to think of it. :)

Um, did you all know that I can sing? and pretty well? :ph34r: I can sing harmony for the band, on the days when we do Bluegrass and old blues (Dinah Washington, etc.). ;)

You really don't want me to sing ... but I can play the flute. I always have to remind myself at Mass NOT to sing if there's not a flute part for a piece of music ... there's a microphone right in front of my face, singing would be a very bad idea!!

I spoke to my Olivia today (niece) and she chose your name Susie Q. I told her we were naming a band after her because at 3 EVERYTHING IS ABOUT HER! :ph34r:

Susie you can sing? You are talented. I want Patti on tambourine. Somehow that's why I picture :P

Carla on flute, Susie and Olivia singing, Daniel on guitar, Patti on tambourine, now all we need is a bada%*& drummer and bassist.

I'll volunteer to be a stage dancer- I do lovely interpretive dance :ph34r::P Almost as good as

but Angus much prefers my Open Original Shared Link

I'm also a good roadie (read Groupie). I've seen every band my husband has ever been in!

Hope everyone had a good NYE and let's get this thread back on track and laughing again. :P :P

Last night we had a toga party and my BIL showed up after putting the kids to bed in his son's dinosaur sheet. Almost peed my pants.

Today his son and Mookie, the cat, had a stand off on the changing table. They were both just sitting there staring at each other so Cooper dope slapped Mookie (Cooper is 2), Mookie dope slapped Coop back and it went on till they each slapped each other 3 times. I would have KILLED to have seen this!

THIS IS PRETTY FUNNY and this thread needed to be resurrected!

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the

Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and

Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?"

And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman

might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And

Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and

sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman

went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan

presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy

vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his

cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named

it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan

then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's

Food."

God then brought forth running shoes so that His

children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan

gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and

Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue

light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in

fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled

off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained more pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume

fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And

Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double

cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It's all good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs. :P :P :P :P

Great post Bev :D - hows the mono??

Susan, I hear you on the 'avoidance of cleaning issue.

I am currently distracting myself from the merde like status of my house by dividing my time by being on here...spending time on Ebay (worryingly addictive :unsure: ) and watching reruns of CSI. ;)

      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 .
