Back to the store in the morning, although I'm leaving a bit later since an employee is opening. Next day off: December 25th. Retail in December is good for business, lots of revenue, but lots of hours for the retailer.

well Peter, sounds like you will be ready for a long winter's nap when the season is OVER!

And of course, this makes the boys nervous-- Mommy, why are you puking? Mommy, there's throw-up coming out your nose. You hit the car door, Mommy. What made you puke, Mommy???

Feeling slightly better, today.

*snort* :lol:

Sarah - I am sorry - I feel your pain - yet your stories always give me quite a chuckle.....yes, no more poking the owies............... :huh:

Christmas Shopping ugh....just the thought wears me out. We spent 2 hrs at the mall last weekend and between the crowds and the rude people I was done in!

I went UNshopping today and made returns to four stores . . . trying to stay ahead of the After-Christmas rush :lol::lol:

One of the returns - Thank Gawd for Wal-Mart because they could care less if you have a receipt - were gifts from my SIL. Major miss on my daughter (it was a toy for a 3-5 year old) and the one for my son was broken.

Amanda, my brother used to be stationed in Harrisburg for a year or two. My mom and I went to visit him there when I was 20 (I remember because he got me into a bar). We made a trip to Hershey while we were there. My mom was trying to tell me about her (long ago) trip to Hershey when I was home at Thanksgiving. I said "I know mom, I was there!!!"

When I first changed to that avatar, my first caption attempt was "No Panties Required", but I chickened out . . . thought I might get detention from Scott.

Yes, I'm sorry for your icky experience. :( Involvement of the nose in puking just adds insult to injury . . . and makes for some interesting Kleenex contents for the next couple of hours! :huh:

Has anyone ever had a Christmas tree that keeps falling over?!?! We got our tree a couple of weeks ago and it falls down almost everyday! Any suggestions? This is our first real tree and we don't seem to be very good at it. I think we may try tying it to the nearby railing to see if that helps. Nothings zaps the Christmas spirit like your tree lying on the ground and the water getting on all of the presents under there. <_<

Alex, :lol: :lol: :lol: I've never heard of that problem! I'm guessing your tree holder is too small for the tree.

We have a fake tree .... that means no messing with tree holders, no ticks in the tree, and no need to restring the lights every year .... for the smell, I have a candle. :)

Emily - mygawd - what are you wearing to the party tonight..........

Gaaaaaahhh....not positive as yet. Likely black, as I feel rather PMS-ey and like a blimp...black always helps me along in that situation...

I miss my zombie man.

Y'know, I kinda miss him, too...that lean, eviscerated look... :o

RAINING HERE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(:angry:

MORE SNOW HERE TODAY!!!!!!

:o:angry: Unbelievable...about another 5cm...

Uh...Global warming? Can you please rear your ugly head? Any time, now...

Question, does anyone know a good small dog breed that are good with kids?

Don't ever do small breeds myself, but bichon frises are very lovely little, non-shedding dogs...

And Nikki, I would LOVE to have met up with you...but we weren't in Kent (don't think), we stayed briefly in Westminister, and Cheriton-Nr-Aylesfod. Near you?

My turn to stray from the Silly.

Got a Christmas Letter from SIL Pam yesterday. She was married to my older brother, Pat, who died somewhat suddenly in July '06.

One bit of news evoked a combination of sadness, pride, & maybe a dozen other emotions I can't think of names for right now. Overall more heartwarming than heartwrenching tho.

Pat was an Alaska State Parks Ranger and had been Chief Ranger at Hatcher Pass Rec. Area & Independence Mine State Park.

Quoting Pam - "Also in June, I met w/ Alaska State Parks who asked my permission to name the ridge above Independence Bowl 'Murphy Ridge'. This was such a perfect idea because it oversees the whole valley that was Pat's passion!. Ranger Dan and I also located a beautiful site for a bench that will be installed in Pat's honor next summer using proceeds from his memorial fund."

<sorry ladies, but she wrote "honor" not honoUr> :P:lol:

Oy - I got a little verklempt there after typing Murphy Ridge.

Ran into this interview from '05.

Great story towards the middle.

Well, for the gift basket, she was probably thinking you could get any one drink you wanted for $5 ... so that makes sense.

However, I would tell her you are not working for lower wages. It's not a gift ... she's hiring you to take care of her dog ... this is what it costs, period.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      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".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      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.
