Will check in later--the closet organizing lady will be here any minute.

GAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!....PATTI!!!!!!

(I just go to Ikea for inspiration)

I WANT ONE !!!! :lol::lol::lol: ..........(your hubby has more clothes than you??? :unsure: )

With those of us here who are TARTS

I don't know what you mean ;)

PS Had SERIOUS Food Gasm at Risoterria last week. Was almost asked to leave- kind of like that scene in When Harry Met sally.

It went something like...

''Would you mind leaving Miss - there are children in here...and frankly everyone is disturbed by your behaviour''

:lol::lol::lol:

I think I should bring the closet lady a sandwich or something--what the heck is she still doing in there? :o

A few years ago I got California Closets to come do my dad's bedroom closet. I went over to his house the day the consultant was coming and the lady was in there measuring and planning for almost 2 hours! It was supper time and we didn't know what to do about her. So my dad ending up making supper for her and the three of us ate spaghetti (pre-Celiac days!) and drank wine on my dad's closet floor. It was pretty funny. She took her job very seriously!

My dad's closet looked about twice as big after they performed their closet magic. I'm very jealous it and I wish my closet looked like that. I'm sure you'll be in awe of the finished product. I think closet organizer would be a fun job to have.

She's probably found some fabulous 'retro' jacket of your hubby's (aka -'packrat') and is wondering if she could sneak it out to sell on Ebay....... :lol:

Does she charge by the hour, or by the job? I'm thinkin' we could use her in our parade organization...Y'know, placing all the paraphrenalia within the floats, organizing and loading the guns with appropriate treats in the proper order...the most economical use of space can haunt parade organizers. You should ask her if she's ever tackled a job like this, Patti. She may jump at it... :lol::lol:

Trying to overcome it - - my back would love a good soak - - but I CANNOT take a bath in a tub w/ tracks)..............

Hi Alex! :)

Oh gawwwd... I think my chronic sinus infections back... ugh, head may explode at any moment...

A few minutes ago, I clicked View New Posts (as I do an embarassingly large number of times per day) and suddenly the whole format of the board changed, and it was all green. I clicked it again, and back to normal.

I think Scott needs to give us some warning if he's gonna work on how the board looks, because that just totally messed with my poor feeble brain.

Ridgewalker Contributor

It came back!!!!!!!!!

Now it's gone again.

Aren't we the CELEBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B):P

Bev--did you say "tartaholic" or "fartaholic"? :P Either one could apply, if you know what I mean....

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

First of all, you are so sweet...I can just see you bringing the closet lady a sandwich. :wub:

Your timing is EXCELLENT Patti as I have a birthday card poem I've been meaning to post for awhile from my BIL. Unfortunately, I suspect our Hugh is a TARTAHOLIC with little tolerance for the fartaholics :P but you never know.....maybe he's into that stuff :o:P

Anyhoo...here's the poem:

All About Farts

A fart can be short,

or a fart can be long,

Some farts have been known

to sound just like a song...

A fart can create

a most curious medley,

A fart can be harmless

or silent, but deadly.

A fart might not smell

while others are vile

A fart may pass quickly

or linger awhile.

A fart can occur

in a number of places,

and leave everyone

with strange looks on their faces...

From wide-open prairie,

to small elevators

But not all farts are bad,

that is simply not true-

We musn't forget...

Dear sweet old farts like YOU!

First real good chilly day here!!

I'm freezing my arse off . . . I just can't seem to warm up!

JoDog (what I call my dog) is annoying with constant whining - oh wait, that's me.

JoDog is annoying with pacing back and forth between the window and door on the constant look out for squirrels.

I need to go to the grocery and to Target but can't get my rear in gear!!

And this has been my day!!

Darn210 Enthusiast

Oh Richard!!! I've been wondering where you've been. You pop in briefly to read but not to post. I thought people at work must have noticed you mumbling and giggling at your computer and you had to cut back in order to avoid a talk with Human Resources.

We are quite familiar with teh pacing and staring here. In fact, in Stinker's second book (On the Road with Stinker), the "about the author" page does state, explaining her life and hobbies in the three years it took for her long-awaited followup book....... "in addition, she likes to pace and stare."

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow!! Stinker is an author!! Might she personally autograph one of her books for me? THAT'S what you should be selling on ebay . . . autographed copies of her book! I am convinced that to get rich quick, write a book and then have Oprah mention it on her show! Not sure how you get her to do that, but everybody buys whatever she tells them to.

You MEAN absinthe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can one walk dingos while on absinthe? Susie's new Name "Walks dingos on absinthe" or "She who exploits dingos on Ebay" :o :o :o

Sarah- It's 60 degrees here and raining. YUCK A DOOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it's going to rain I want it to at least be chilly so I can be cozy. HARUMPHESSNOUS.

Yes, our Stinker IS an author. When she was about 6, I was presented, by her nanny and best friend, Lauren, with her first book, the smash Tika's Day Out. [i literally laughed so hard that I cried whilst reading it - and also cried because it was the best give I'd ever received......and we HAVE actually been urged to publish it...........it's the cutest thing EVER]

Yes, we MUST get Stinker on Oprah and toute suite!!!!!!! she's getting quite old and senile.....no telling WHAT she'll say on the air.......

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
    • trents
      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
