Well, you have to keep a little bit of everything in there 'cause you don't know when you might need it . . . and sometimes you might need a brick!!

Well, I was hopin' it would go by unnoticed . . . but now that you've drawn everybody's attention to it . . . I'm doomed! :o:ph34r:

Insurance is paid up, we do have flood coverage, sump pump is working with battery back-up in place, I won't do any laundry or dishes until I get over 1100 posts, children will not be allowed to come into contact with other children or sharp objects (in fact, I think I'll just wrap them in bubble wrap), WTH am I going to do about the toilets??!!!??? Help Me!!!!

Weight of purses-- precisely! I simply do not understand women who carry itty bitty purses. Actually, one of my friends carries an itty bitty purse, and guess what? Every time we go out, she realizes she doesn't have something in there that she needs. I have it all. ;)

There for awhile, both my boys were in diapers at the same time. I didn't carry a purse or a diaper bag. I carried a huge backpack.

Oh and I also noticed what's coming up for Janet..... :ph34r:

Are you kidding???? Now that she can finally read she's curled up with a squirrel martini (following Peter's lead) going through all 500-some-odd pages. Surely, if you listen, you can hear her yelling "MOM!!!!" Whenever you've said something embarrassing about her.

a squirrel martini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Well.....have to correct you girls......Lauren and I actually discovered what Tika was saying to me, in those moments of intensive, willing-you-to-do-something stares........it was :

mommy-mommy-mommy-MOMMY-mommy-mommy-mommy-mommy-mommy-MOMMY-MOMMY-

MOMMY-MOMMY-mommy-MOMMY-MOMMY-MOMMY-MOMMY-MOMMY-mommy-mommy-mommy

mommy-mommy-mommy-MOMMY-MOMMY!!!!!!!-MOMMY!!!!!!!-mommy-mommy....(ad nauseum)

:huh: <------ with a face like that, only more intense....and hot breath coming out onto your leg whilst you read the newspaper, her nose only one or two inches behind the paper.... :lol:

:o:lol: You know, Annie did something quite unusual.....she actually sat in the front seat of the Jeep wif me on the way home from Stinker's.....um, demise.....and she soiled it... :blink:

might this fluid leak be part of Janet's one thousandth?????????

OMG - the Jeep is being detailed as we speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Gus does this...however, after a few moments of his face being two inches from said newspaper, and me stubbornly ignoring him, he'll put a massive paw into the paper, sometimes ripping it and scaring the s**t out of me. I will then see his pathetic, pleading, staring face, like this: :mellow:

*snort* :lol: Stinker was so effective w/ her super-powered dingo brain that, I'm not kidding, pawing and vocalizing were never necessary.

:( Annie has lost.....her North Star........it is heartbreaking.......she is SO sad....I don't know how long she will grieve, or what to do. Thinking about going to the cabin this weekend....but she's never been ANYWHERE without her Stinker.....she finds moderate joy in running through the orchard, but, it's not the same. I know she'd enjoy the beach adn all the dogs.....and our friends will meet us there.....

Thanks be to GOD that I am not a gluten-brain, or you'd be scraping me off the FLOOR from heartache!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh:

An elderly neighbor in my old neighborhood was having a boot yard sale. Her daughters brought over all of their baby stuff to sell . . . high chair, pack-n-play, etc. I said "You know the best way to get pregnant is to sell all your baby stuff". They had the nerve to laugh at me and asked me if my mother never taught me the facts of life . . . About 6 months later, one of them was pregnant. Who's laughin' now, missy???!!!!

Emily, love the new Gus av!

hhhmmmm, that's not what I learned......

does that mean if I never have baby stuff to sell I'll never get pregnant?

should we all send baby stuff to Amanda so she can sell it and improve her chances?

No, no, no . . . it is not considered reliable birth control!!!

But yes, this part I do believe is true!!!

When I was becoming sexually active, my mom gave me the birth control talk which consisted of "If the rhythm method worked, there would only have been 2 or 3 of you kids"

There are 7 of us.

Now, of course, I realize that the efficacy of her method was compromised by the selling of baby stuff in between births.

My sister is 5 years older than I am. I mentioned it in a previous post that she got "started" a little early. She had her first daughter when she was 17. So my grandmother took it upon herself to have a sex talk with me . . . perhaps she thought if she had talked to my sister, she wouldn't have found herself in the "family way". So there I sat (age 14) , MORTIFIED, just screaming in my head over and over "This is ALL Linda's fault!!" And just so you know, the talk can be summerized as "Nice girls don't do it." Not like that whole scene scarred me for life or anything . . . I can laugh about it now . . . ha . . . haha. . .

*mutter*mutter* . . . grandma . . . mutter . . . sex . . . mutter . . . LINDA'S FAULT. . . *mutter*

my mom gave me "the talk" in fourth grade. I"ll never forget it - there I was, MINDIN' MY OWN BIDNESS, watching TV.......she comes up behind me and in this crazily stiff voice says she wants to talk to me. Not kidding, 'twas like an alien had overtaken her body. :blink: She takes me back to their bedroom and talks to me whilst showing me pictures of the reproductive organs in a book. She was acting all crazy-like and....... :lol: well, I don't really know what to say about it except that what I remember most was how kooky she was acting....I think I knew most the other stuff, anyway, from those wicked teenaged boys who hung out with my brothers. :lol:

anywho, after I was armed with my new knowledge and the SOLID facts, I told everyone all about it. :lol: :lol:

oh yeah...selling the baby stuff - SURE way to get pregnant. :lol: Everyone knows that.

My mother never really told me anything.....she would have my aunt (her sister) who I was very close to do it. :huh: The rest I learned from the older kids in the neighborhood--on the streets, as it were. :P

I remember "the movie" :o in 6th grade. Our parents had to sign a permission slip in order for us to see it.

One for the girls and another for the boys--shown separately, of course. ;) Ours was followed by a talk by the school nurse.....

The whole thing was a major production. <_<

(Ya'll have to remember, I'm very old :lol: )

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
