Happy New Year Nikki - How's 2008 lookin' so far? Are we going to like it?

Our plans just fizzled. We were suppose to go to the neighbors across the street. I called to find out what time to come and what to bring and was informed it was cancelled due to lack of interest/too many people out of town. Bah!!!!

I now have a new plan. After putting the kids to bed, I will make myself a toasted almond (Kalhua, Amaretto, & Ice Cream) and watch Chicago (I have it on DVD)!

OMG!!!!!!!!! my mom was here, photo shoot of the girls and me for my fabulous idea of New Year's cards, managed to get even Stinker up on the couch.......I look rather okay, for once.....she took about 40 pictures, in two sets, on my digital.......and EVERY SINGLE ONE blurry beyond recognition. :blink:

Do you not see that this is perfect for New Year Eve pictures? It's an artistic representation of how you all were feeling and all that.

And has anybody heard if the special adhesive garland (ie, duct tape) was all that Alex needed to finish off her tree?

Yes!! We finally got our tree to stand up with a combination of rope and duct tape. My dad thought it was hilarious when he saw it.

Happy New Year!!!

I hope 2008 is happy and healthy for everyone

It's still long!

A couple months ago I cut about three inches off .... I had lost so much hair that when it grew back about six inches of ends looked really bad because what didn't fall out had really bad breakage ... I have about three inches of ends that still need cut but I'm letting it grow a little more first.

It does need a good cut once in a while, doesn't it? :)

John got some much needed rest this weekend and we are off tomorrow, he was off at 12 today. I think that helped!!!!

Patti I love your hair!!!

We are watching Jon and Kate plus 8. Those parents are always quarrelling....I think that is why John likes it.

Just a quick visit to say HAPPY NEW YEAR, SILLIES.

I know some stuff about cats, but feline behavioUr is a special subject in itself. They understand it, but tell us humans very little. We don't know how our tortoiseshell knows when we are finished dinner, but she does. She knows that it is time to ask for treats. We can finish our salads and get up--nothing. If we are planning a dessert, nothing happens after the main course. But when we finish the last course, whatever that may be, she knows!

Other cat behavioUr questions I will leave to next year to ponder.

Janet, it is good to finally see you. Patti, you are looking good.

Nikki, you are getting to understand me too well. ;)

Emily, keep an eye on the yeti. A New Year may bring forth uninhibited exuberance about the future causing him to exhibit unlimited enthusiasm for 2008. Be careful you don't step in it! :o

HAPPY NEW YEAR Sillies!!!! (I have an hour and a half to go....)

Amanda, I watch John and Kate Plus 8, SIX 3 year olds is madness, craziness! I just stare and shake my head in awe at all the chaos :lol: I kinda like Kate, she's really spunky.

OMG Emily, I was reading through catching up and I almost had a pee in my pants moment when you said you wake up with the 2 cats staring at you and amazingly enough the yeti is in right there in the middle of them staring too.

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

Sorry Susie, that is where our similarities in tastes in movies end because I LOVE Chicago and Moulin Rouge, in fact Moulin Rouge is probably on my top 5 favorite list.

And YES, do it! Run around Stepford with the Zombie guy banging your pots and pans as loud as you can. Better yet take your Iroquis skull crusher with you, nobody will notice a thing.....make sure you capture this kodak moment for us all.

Janet and Carla, that's so neat you guys met up. I'll have to go back and check out the avatar, and Patti's too!

Feel better Nikki!

Bev you too!

I got this cute email with Garfeild, member him? It said something like we all get fat when we get older because we have retained so much information in our brain that there's no more room so it spills over into our body :lol:

*edit, great picture of you Janet and Carla.

And Patti you look gorgeous!! Are you by chance wearing your new Everyday Mineral make-up??!?!? :lol:

Welcome to 2008, everybodyyyyy!

I'm the FIRST silly to post this year! I think I should have some sort of honoUrary mention...no crown or royal posting, please (Gasp! Which is coming up, is it not? The big 500th page?!))...But I do notice some after midnight postings, my time, from last night. So I guess I'm not cutting it--once again, a little late. :rolleyes:

Great party last night. We wanted to disguise the yeti somewhat, as we figured that he may terrify the little kids. We could find nothing that would cover him enough, and/or that was big enough. Finally, the light bulb went off. I rushed to my husband's garden-fresh hockey bag, pulled out the equipment, and on it went.

Just got the helmet, visor, and cage on his head, pads had to really stretch. He accompanied us to the party as a European relative on the National Slovenian U21 team. Amazing...no one asked why he came to the party in his full gear. No one stared and then left the room as I introduced him (like at OTHER get-togethers of the holidays)... <_<

John is still recovering, he has a viral infection....he just cannot face marriage :)

:lol::lol: ...THAT'S why my DH gets many colds!! :rolleyes:

Amanda--we're in for the night, too. :) Got the tree and the decorations taken down and put away.

ALL the decoration are GONE! AWAY!! Feels like Christmas never happened!! :rolleyes:

OMG Emily, I was reading through catching up and I almost had a pee in my pants moment when you said you wake up with the 2 cats staring at you and amazingly enough the yeti is in right there in the middle of them staring too.

He was staring quite a bit at the party last night...mostly at the family cat. Later I realized he was probably trying to see out of the visor and cage, as it was so tight and fogged up. Kept tripping, heading into walls...I thought he was inebriated, but no--he just could not see. :blink:

Janet and Carla, that's so neat you guys met up. I'll have to go back and check out the avatar, and Patti's too!

BIG-time jealousy, here!! Gret pic of you two!

Maybe my sister looks like your sisters - 'cause I don't think she looks that much like me. However, the pic of your oldest daughter looks a LOT like my niece.

ALL the decoration are GONE! AWAY!! Feels like Christmas never happened!! :rolleyes:

Undecorating starts tomorrow. The problems is where to put all the crap presents that the kids got.

My quiet New Years was nice. I had a few Cosmo's which were good. I woke up at 7 this morning and came out on the couch...My big cat was there and he made room for me...a true gentlecat and then I woke up late....few minutes ago and the cat is still here and keeps nudging me as I type.

We have a New Years dinner at MIL's to go too, don't really want to go either...

Happy New Years Sillies!!!!!

Lucky is waving his paw at all of you!!

      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.
