I just have migraines every so often SINCE I got preggers with LUCAS years ago...

Ok, first, I just sold all my baby stuff, like the double stroller, and now a bunch of friends mistakenly think I'm pregnant.... This is shaping up to be scary. :ph34r:

Susie is pretty sure she is NEVER having a date again. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: (way too picky in my old age + paucity of men = Susie Dying Alone)

Susie, seeing how women, in general, outlive their husbands, we're all pretty much dying alone . . . that's why I have made arrangements to be committed to live in the same mental old age facility as my best friend. That way we can keep each other company and complain to each other about how our children never call and that the food taste like crap.

Heinous slobishness! :angry:

:lol: ..this makes me chuckle from Patti..........but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

For me, hillbilly heroin would be biscuits and gravy-- otherwise known in my house as "Heart Attack on a Plate." Sooooo good, and utterly verboten these days!

Biscuits??? :huh: (which are sweet here) with gravy...........EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

That's just WRONG!!!!!!!

Cardiac country around here is brought on by the famous Quebeqois Poutine. French fries with thick gravy, then mounds of melted mozzerella topping it off. Ate many a plateful while pregnant, then felt just sick....

Again, WRONG!!!! ....chips with gravy??????.....no No NO!!!...they will go soggy :angry:

Around here you can get a salad with french fries and gravy on top.....talk about fattening!

...limp soggy lettuce with gravy :huh:

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

OMIGOD Sarah's PREGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats darlin'!!!! :D:lol:

Had me going there for a tic Ptaum,..........bloody hell!!..had Sarah in a COLD SWEAT!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

So I just had to run down to the hospital pharmacy to exchange drugs.

They do that there?? Can I bring in whatever I want and exchange it for something better?? I'm sure I've got some leftover stuff in the drawer and I can thing of much better drugs to have lying around than old antibiotics.

No Gluten? or No Reaction? . . . There's a difference, you know.

:o

oh dear gawd.......but........if it's a SMALL amount of gluten - I would have a reaction.....(unlike the time I ate half a pizza :ph34r: - just got depressed for two weeks)

Oh . . . I think those are elephant ears, here. . . . does it start out deep fried?

:lol: probably not.....a distinctly southern US tradition

Susie, seeing how women, in general, outlive their husbands, we're all pretty much dying alone . . . that's why I have made arrangements to be committed to live in the same mental old age facility as my best friend. That way we can keep each other company and complain to each other about how our children never call and that the food taste like crap.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Lemme know where it is - I'll join you and get my other old lady friends

So I just had to run down to the hospital pharmacy to exchange drugs. So I am walking by the parking office and a woman whom I am friendly but do not see on a daily basis yells out to me, come back here. So I walk back. She says to me, wow, are you

:lol: :lol: :lol: absolutely brilliant idea.........let's round up all of our unwanted drugs, Jess can go as emissary and fill our requests.....

Nicola - - biscuits here are the most YUMMY YUMMY EVIL flaky baked flour-y....rolls? how do we explain a biscuit? 'tis a sticky, yeasty dough rolled out flat, cut into circle shapes and then baked - hence puffing up to many times their volume........absolutely DIVINE w/ butter and jam, butter and honey..........mygawd.........I actually think that is what I miss MOST OF ALL.......... :( People slather gravy on them - very southern - that is slightly vomitous to me but certainly would eat it, without complaining.........

I think biscuits in England are what we call cookies?

:o BEV! Well I don't know about YOU, but *I* am NOT obsessed w/ dog nuts.....I mean, Annie doesn't even have any for Peter's sake.........

:lol: that's how I read it too . .. ..even took a moment to scan memory for "pets+testicle" and only came up w/ Nikki's cat (is that right?) THEN came the synonymical connection to aficionado :lol:

- - and I must say, I was partaking in a GIANT basket of fries from DEDICATED fryer at Nepenthe last Sunday :):rolleyes:

Ahhhhhhh Nepenthe <contented sigh> :)

I must head south soon .. . . .. .

TOM - - NO GLUTEN in the rice bowls at El Pollo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

1) Phew!!!!!! :face-of-relief-guy:

2) Why didn't I KNOW this?

3) I can have something new!!!?? :unsure:

4) Ahhh dang, I'm sure it has ingred I won't eat (yet) :(

I had El Pollo Loco monday. Yum! :rolleyes:

But only because I'd forgotten to defrost anything. It's still a thrill every time I get to eat w/out doing the cooking. Which reminds me :D , dinner at Shelly's tonight. Her 8y.o. got an elec guit from santa so we're gonna jam!!!!

And speaking of music, today feels a LOT like a sax day!!!!! (Boehv?? That's an A, not an E! :lol: )

Here's a bit of silly - ran into an old notebook where I'd made a note of something a friend's 4 or 5 y.o. (at the time) said years ago.

For whatever reason, I'd said something in Pig Latin and she said "huh?". So I told her it was Pig Latin.

She says "I don't care how they talk in Pigland" :lol: I was rofl!!

Last year I walked into the womans bathroom at work and someone left a log on the floor next to the toliet.

:lol: ..this makes me chuckle from Patti..........but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

Obviously a hoverer with poor aim . . . or perhaps in mid-hover, the purse she was balancing on her head started to slide. In an effort to keep her purse from hitting the floor, she lost sight of her target . . . so to speak.

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

I'm totally with Nikki on this one.

Hey Colleen!!! Way to stick it to the man! :lol:

Now, I bought one in the summer - took one look at myself in the mirror and thought NO WAY!!!!!!! - off it came - it didn't look like THAT on the model :angry: ........but I am annoyed that all these smocky tops weren't in vogue when I was [i/] pregnant :lol:

Gawd--so true.....when I was pregnant (back in the dark ages) there were no cute maternity clothes. All frightful billow-y blouses with puffy sleeves and bows at the neck <_< I did a lot of maternity jeans and Mark's shirts :lol:

I also bought one of those tops last summer--I think it's because I'm kinda short, but it did resemble a maternity top...of course at my age I'm sure no one was fooled :lol:

During my first pregnancy, I wore several men's shirts instead of maternity shirts. One of the guys I worked with complimented me on one in particular. I told him it was a men's shirt to which he stood up and proclaimed "I call dibs on Janet's shirt when she's done being pregnant!"

HOLY COW!!!! I totally missed that hint . . . and TOM, of all people firgured it out!!! (no offense, Tom, just figured it would be a gal). Congratulations, Sarah!!!!

ROFL I was just makin' s*** up to tease her a tic (Nikki? This means a bit?? :unsure: ) but now can't lose this sh**-eating grin (what a horrible term!! Especially considering Bev's hinted-at grossout a few pages back) from seeing all the posts it prompted!!

      Celiac friendly probiotics

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...

      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...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.
