What does that mean??????? :lol:

...Peter will know... :lol:

From the "Cured" thread . . .

Look everybody!!!! Emily's sober!!!!!

Well, I'm not anymore. Not really. I have had, I believe, 3 and a half glasses of wine. Largish glasses. (Man, saying "largish" is very difficult when sober...imagine when drunk?) :lol:

May have one or two more...MIL is still here. Takes the edge off....

We should have a gathering for all of our local celiac friends, we can all bring a gluten-free meal and it will be our own potluck.

Aw, man...would I ever LOVE to meet up with all you guys for a dinner. :wub: See, this is sentimentality brought on by copious wine. I may even begin to weep, thinking about how great that would be. BLECCHHHH! Must get back to my silly, caustic self...

Carry on, Sober Sillies!

Best emoticon as representative of me a little looped: ^_^

The Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing .... but I have to have my blood taken first .... so we'll (hubby will be there, too) leave after that .... so it will definitely be afternoon sometime. Does that work for you? :)

Happy Anniversary Carla!

Did you have a good time out?

Yes! We always take all the kids with us, LOL. In the beginning it was because we couldn't get babysitters, so we used the excuse that it's the anniversary of the start of our family, which it is if you think about it ... so we continued on with that tradition. We had japanese food ... then we went to Graeter's for ice cream.

Sounds like it was a nice evening out. If you don't mind me asking, what do you usually get at the Japenese place? There is one close to work and I have been asked there.

Well ... ummm ... I haven't needed to eat gluten-free for the past couple months .... seems that as I treated some of the Lyme coinfections, ALL my GI issues melted away! But, when I was gluten-free, I did eat sushi. :)

Works for me . . . Hubby is home so I won't have the kids. If I'm lucky, my Crate & Barrel merchandise gift card will have arrived and I can go spend it. Coffee/Soda in the food court? Or a real restaurant?

Was too askeert to post that on the actual thread. :ph34r: Some people don't like sillies :unsure:

Heheheheehee I had all sorts of responses run through my head but thought same of posting them there. :)

Yay Janet's back! And Amanda's in! And Carla had an anniversary!

Now . . ... . . Where's Sarah?

We haven't been at full-strength in too long, for my taste.

P.S. Aha! And Bev! Haven't we been Bev-less too much lately?

Hi Tom,

Peter, look what I started. :lol:

Gee, thanks, Laura. Now I am the Oracle of Sillyville. So many questions to think about...

:ph34r: well of COURSE there was wine, you silly!!!!!!!! :lol: But.... not enough to make me a stumbling drunkard, for Pete's sake.......

and speaking of Pete, just who IS this Peter in "for Pete's sake?" Is it our Peter? OMG is HE that Peter? Another question for Psawyer!!!!!!!!!!!

:P

Yes, I've been suspecting for some time that our Psawyer is, in, fact, the very Pete in "for Pete's sake"...I think he's our man. He may very well be the Peter in "Peter the Great", as well. And who do you think Elton John wrote Peter's Song for? Indeed, there could be a whole lot more about Peter that we're just beginning to understand. He knows the answer to everything...he somehow created some incredible gravy...What other astounding surprises are coming our way?!

Oh, for Pete's sake!

This one I will try to answer. I am not that Pete. The guy in the above is, as I understand it, a euphemistic reference to God. It refers to the apostle Simon, who took the name Peter at Jesus' request ("thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church" Matt 16:18). Simon Peter became Pope Peter, and then Saint Peter, and is now employed as a doorman somewhere. ;)

Definitely not me. :o

Pass the wine, please. :P

And, isn't Jesus the door? Oh, no, wait, he's the gate .... getting mixed up here ... yeah, pass the wine over here, too ...

Who knows??!! Perhaps if you make sure you wear your tights and patent leather maryjanes. :lol: Will you recognize me? You'll have to go look at my profile to see me. I can always call you on your cell and walk towards the ringing phone.

Now . . . anybody got any recommendations on how to lose 20 pounds in two days? I was wanting to lose some weight before I met any of my fellow sillies. I know I sound slim and athletic . . .

ROFL! I've had the opposite weight problem for the past few years ... finally a friend asked me the other day if I had gained weight!!! I said yes and he said he could see it in my face, how much did I gain? I told him three pounds! He looked at me like I was crazy, but I said it was really only three pounds, but on me, you can see it!

I used to have more current pics up .... but I'm always changing my hair, so you wouldn't recognize me from them either, LOL.

Good Sunday Mornin' to all!

Wowie, Some Sillies are actually meeting in the flesh, not just intellectually! How exciting! Do not worry about any extra weight, Janet. Carla's no young Robert Redford...are you, Carla? ;):lol:

See, told you everyone! Peter DOES know everything! Euphemistic references to apostles, gravy tips extraordinaire...He is the Silly Oracle.

...Although last night in bed I was tossing and turning, wondering about kamikazes and sour cream best-before dates... :rolleyes:

Intellectually???? :blink: Not really the word I would have chosen for this thread.

Neighbors are doing a family New Year's Eve Party - kids are invited - no need to pay an outrageous amount for a babysitter. Of course, we'll probably be back home by 10:30. ;)

I have always wanted to go downtown to Harrisburg for New Years but it is such a hassle getting parking and then getting out after the Strawberry drops ( i think thats what they drop we have a few drops around here and sometimes I get mixed up) One of these years though. Last year it was pouring rain!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I just typed a bunch of stuff, highlighted some text, and LOST IT ALL. BAH!!!!!! :blink:

who cares. I lost all my silly on a phone call I just had. :P (a good but difficult phone call, from best friend, who admonished me to channel my gluten/mental health crusading in a different way - or to tone it down, maybe...........and she is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! long story......perhaps will address it in anotehr thread)

OMG - some sillies ARE meeting!!!!!!!!!! Susie is jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year's Eve = amateur night. I never really go out on this night. Will stay home and watch movies with my best friend, most likely. Hang out with mommy late afternoon tomorrow and drink champagne. Asleep by 10, most likely. :huh:

edit: AND THERE IS SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE have you been, long-lost silly??????? we have missed you!!!!!!!!! Um, were you engulfed in fluids???????? :blink:

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
