...or the pony-tail, something I resort to OFTEN :lol:

I use a clip and twist it up .... I can never make a comfortable pony tail. But, a baseball cap looks cute with hoop earrings and my braces. :D

February. It's been one year this month. I will get a tooth positioner to do the final details, it cuts months off treatment ... it is to be worn 24 hours per day the first week, except when eating, then a few hours per day plus night, then night only after a while.

The ONLY thing that bothers me about them is that it's hard to play my flute. In fact, it sounds horrible.

okay Tom - - we are going to LET GO of the topic of Susie's cheating now. and, this is exactly why I shall not mention it again - - it just keeps coming up (like the burps after a doUGHnut binge!)....

can we PLEASE talk about something more important for God's sake, like the Care Bears with machine guns???????????????????

:huh:

Who's talking about cheating? :blink: I'm talking about experiments!! :rolleyes:

Will they be secretly done w/ zero benefit to our delightful & precious community, or will our 'canary in a gluten gorge' acquiesce & supply our world w/ potentally VERY valuable info?

Truth be told, in your situation I'd probably be looking to see if I could do a few experiments to gauge reactions to each of the 3 offensive grains.

I would SO SO love to be able to distinguish betw being barleyed and wheatened.

P.S. Silliness still on hold. :mellow: And of course I haven't touched soy in any form since may 29th. :P

Oh!! WTH is THIS guy ^_^ supposed to signify?

4 doctors go out duck hunting: A general practitioner, a gynecologist, a surgeon, and a pathologist.

A duck flies into the air in front of them.

The gp doesn't shoot because he can't identify it positively as a duck

The gyne doesn't shoot because he isn't sure if it's a male or a female

The surgeon blasts the duck out of the air, turns to the pathologist and says "go find out what that was"

Just LOOK at the size of your silly "little" thread, Richard, rivaled only by Rachel's OMG thread!!!!

:rolleyes:

Straight, flat, ughhhh....Guys, I'd take your curls ANY day!

oh - -- don't EVEN get me started on the curly hair!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

I shall tell you a small story.

a year or so ago, I was minding my own business, driving a long stretch of hideously boring, flat, and ugly freeway, coming home from the beach. Highway 99, arguably the nation's ugliest freeway - where one finds oneself left with only one's thoughts, tunes, panting dingos, one's insanity, and the stench of dairy. :blink:

So anywho.....I happen to glance over at this elderly woman in a car next to me - she could have been anywhere between 57 and 80, who knows.

I started pondering her hair.....it was simply a white, thinning, puff of frizzball, a halo around her head, completely left in its natural, untouched state, and there she was, in front of God and everyone, rather saying - - "here I am, this is me, this is how it is, and there you go."

And I thought to myself - - at what point does a woman just let things completely GO - - just revert back to the default setting of one's hair - - no dye, no curling, no blow-drying, nothing. And also, no makeup. (*gasp!*)

:lol: had kind of a little chuckle over that one. Because, the answer, for me, is NEVER. I will FIGHT this freaking, coarse, half-gray FRIZZ BALL until the day I dye, for god's sake,

AND IT IS A TEDIOUS AND FUTILE ADN EXPENSIVE AND EXHAUSTING FIGHT, is it not, Ladies????

:angry::angry:

I have decided that the way to age beautifully and gracefully and without too much fuss is to have STRAIGHT HAIR. The curly/frizzy hair just reverts to a shorter puffball in one's latter years. Makes me FURIOUS.

Here's mine -

My hubby has hair ... on his head even. Men don't actually lose hair ... they grow it all over, except on their head!!

Most days my hair's just frizzy and I only have on mascara and lip gloss .... if I'm going somewhere other than the grocery or Starbucks, I'll get out the curling iron and tame a few curls like I did yesterday when I snapped the picture ... it only takes about 5 minutes ...

I used to do my hair and makeup every day ... I'll do that again sometime. :D

Daughter-of-TheLight Apprentice
Hi Daughter.

Please explain

1. Danzon

2. your Care Bear theory and disdain and the brainwashing by said Bears

3. Why you are so bored

....and anything else you care to reveal.

:lol:

Do you REALLY want me to explain all that?

Ok.

1: The Danzon (pronounced Dan-son-with-an-almost-g-sound with a spanish accent) Is a spanish dance commonly done by the COURT of a Quincenera. I'm In my friend's Court this year and am dancing with an 11 year old that wouldn't know the Danzon from his left foot. (hence the frustration...)

2: the care bear theory is the fact that... Ok. Carebears, frankly, scare me. They are colorful bears that talk. They have extremely stupid messages that brainwash our children with the ideas of a society where they are trying to make everyone like everyone else. If you look at my last posts, you will see that the other brainwashing kids shows are...

A: Boo-Bah

B: Telletubbies

C: Whoever decided to change Dorothy to a new goldfish and created "Elmo's world"

Now, I actually like Sesame street and think that the new shows, like Booh-bah are harmful to children's minds. I mean, they waddle around saying "Boo-bah" and farting! The teletubbies do not speak intelligebly (and by intelligebly, i mean so that you can understand them) and do the EXACT same thing every time. If you look at other new kids shows, you start to realize that the media is trying to turn our childrens brains to mush after brainwashing them all day in school!

3: The reason why I was bored is because... I had nothing to do? Uhh... yeah. I think that was it...

I *gropes for words* Like to read? And write poetry? (obviously...)

Cows

I do think I'm funny,

And you will think so too,

Once you know

Some of what I do.

When I try to go to sleep,

I count cows instead of sheep!

Cows jumping over fences,

Jumping over moons,

I count cows instead of sheep!

I am crazy, don't you think?

FINALLY I went to the doctor,

I said,

Doctor, Doctor, help me please!

I count cows instead of sheep!

That doctor gave me a book,

I read it through and did it,

But still It did not work.

I count cows instead of sheep!

I am crazy, Don't you think?

-Me, when I was nine.

Gotta be someone from college days. :D

My Dad now lives just a bit inland from HH. Does Leah do gfcfsfyf?

Hilarious hairicons!!

Doubting I can do mine. It's usually too short.

<@:angry: ?~

But, in general - no news flash here - guys are more like that woman on Hwy 99. Nary a care for spending actual time on hair.

BUT!! Those w/ facial hair WILL pay attn to it. My last trip to SJ, I kinda just didn't get around to shaving for a week then got creative during the shave. Actually had a Fu Manchu for a couple days :lol: hehehehehehehe. Friends who've known me for 18 yrs said things like "I didn't know u could DO that!", and in asking for honest opinions I got nothin' but positives. But it didn't much feel like ME.

I will FIGHT this freaking, coarse, half-gray FRIZZ BALL until the day I dye, for god's sake,

Oh hair, hair, hair.....I am lamenting mine right now. I cut it (myself!) to shoulder length. It took about an hour and a half (the thought of actually getting it done was too tiring- how sad is that?) and it came out fine, even etc but now it's too short for a proper pony tail. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

It now looks like this

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !! 
    • cristiana
      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
