Did you have a good time out?

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,

and I came bearing food tonight too. :)

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:

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
