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!!!

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

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.

jerseyangel Proficient

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: )

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞 
    • Colleen H
      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H

      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".

      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.
