Hubby reckons I keep bricks in mine

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. . .

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. <_<

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
