That's what we had . . . are you calling me weird??

:lol: Isn't that a prerequisite for being on the silly thread?

I don't know, it's just all of my friends' weddings that I've been to have been on the larger side and had 4-5 bridesmaids/groomsmen. I'm afraid that my vision of a small, intimate wedding is going to end up looking like a country bumpkin kinda thing. I don't want it to look like we're doing things on the cheap! I'm scared to death my wedding will be that lame-o wedding that everyone refers to when they talk about bad/weird weddings. I think I may be obsessing a little bit . . .

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and my mind swirling with guest list issues. Is it weird to only have a maid of honour and a best man and no others in the wedding party? So many things to figure out!

Alex....the most crucial names are OURS. :rolleyes:;)

One maid of honoUr and best man is an excellent approach. The least complicated, most inexpensive, and very classy. Okay, there, that's taken care of.... :lol:

Don't worry! You guys won't get cut. The list goes parents, grandparents, siblings and then you guys. Anyone want to volunteer to be the emcee?

No, but I think you can count on us to be the embarrassing drunk relative(s) that talk too loud and . . . fart.

Now there's an idea!!! If not, I'm sure he could manage being the DJ. I'm sure he's got good taste in music!!! Ahhhhh . . . music makes me remember that we need to pick a wedding song! I was always the one at weddings secretly making fun of people's lame, corny wedding song choices. So now I CANNOT have a lame song.

Jacquie and I had two supporters each. Our biggest challenge was trying to balance the guest list--her initial list was about twice the size of mine. She trimmed and I added. :unsure:

I will be in the lab friday evening Sillies....I had to say yes. I will probably work till 8 or so. Overtime in the lab means 21 bucks an hour so I try to work longer hours on Fridays since I dont have to go to my day job.

I work with this woman who is grossed out by bodies and specimens and such and she cannot understand how I can work in the lab. I just tell her you get used to it...

Calm thyself, dear one. We are here to help. :) All brides obsess. We can help you think of simple, beautiful, tasteful ideas. I did a few weddings and MANY MANY parties in Carmel - flowers, decor, aesthetics - - we'll give you ideas. :)

********************

OMG sillies - - - bear with me - - must interject a moment of bittersweet sadness into the silly thread.

I have to put Stinker's photo up one more time - - taken last summer - - even in her decrepit, aged, demented and frail state - - she still found a ball at the lake and wanted to fetch. :) Today, I don't know why, I am missing her SO SO much. :( I've posted her photo, but this will be her last one, I think, and I"ll take it down soon. But taking her picture down is just so......final.......... *sigh*

So.......recently I found the "mastercard" commercial I wrote for her a few years ago.... I was weeping as I dropped her off at the vet for yet another assault to her body and dignity.....she had already had her 1.5 years of chemo, which included 10 weekly trips to the vet for IV injections, then twice monthly, then monthly. The vet techs always remarked how stoically adn quietly she sat in there, observing everything and never even making a whimper, while most other dogs yelped and whined. She was such a noble, strong, fierce and brilliant girl. There'll never be another like her. :wub:

So.....she developed this tumour on the back of her neck that I'd been draining every few days for months - a liquid-filled cyst taht eventually became quite gross, necessitating removal.

I dropped her off at the vet and just wept on the 30-minute drive home, and composed this in my head:

Blood work $65

TumoUr removal $175

Dental cleaning $45

Anal gland expression (gads) $12

IV fluids $60

Biopsy of tumoUr $50

Tranquilizers/pain meds $50

Thyroid meds $60

Smiling, spiral-tail-wagging, lizard-stomping, howling-on-command, preternaturally happy and curious brown-eyed, Dingo-like yellow dog....my co-worker, my joy at the beach, sentry at the gate, constant companion, and silent, adoring witness to my life......priceless.

Thanks, sillies.............

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! A "quick trip" to the basement? How do you know when it's safe to emerge? :o

What did you guys do down there? games, snacks, WHAT?

And BTW - those other Donnas and Colleen.....they are back in their makeup cult. I don't think Mango's letting them out any more. :ph34r:

I'm BAAAACK.......can't get rid of me that easily! I had surgery last week and I am just getting back to feeling better .....I have not been on the makeup thread either so there really has been no favoritism :D Boy I was just catching up, now I have to start all over again....Has Amy Winehouse aka Richard been returned yet or is he still being held hostage. Hope all is well and look forward to much more mentally stimulating chat :)

Oh Susie she was priceless...

Alex- I did not have a big wedding. If you want any pointers feel free to ask. Oriental Trading and Ebay are great places to find things. I did a beach theme. If you want I can show you some of our pics. Just PM me if you need anything.

Amanda!!!!! :lol::lol::lol: Here it is . . . reinacted, so to speak.

(it has occurred to me how little gas I have now that am gluten-free - - probably less than 10 GASSERS a day and some days, good Lord, probably zero. Will start monitoring and counting, though, adn update here. ;) )

All right, starting tomorrow, as soon as everyone awakens, we are keeping a running count. We must report in with our number every three or four hours. This is truly what the Silly Thread is all about...I'm surprised this hasn't been done before! Okay, so it's usually Amanda and I posting first in the morning...we'll have the first entries. Now, we're all on our honoUr....no cheating or fibbing!! :lol::lol:

:o surgery? what?! Well, Babs, nice to have you back. ;) no sign of Richard. Now we are beyond worried, adn just plain......furious. Bev is going to give her famous Dutch Oven treatment later on tonight. :lol: :lol:

. . . and you are picking me to be your maid of honoUr, right??

gah!!!!!!! the hell you say!!!!!! 'tis me!!!!!!!!!! everyone knows that! I am the FAMOUS one, remember?????????? :P

OMG - what was my count earlier today? three or four? can't remember.....it's still the same. Nary a fart since the last one, before noon.

:lol:

Funny how one notices these things now.

Tomorrow, I shall tell you about Gail's long-ago breakup scenario, which did in fact involve a gaseous man - whom she now calls Farter Starter. :lol: we don't know why, it's just funny. And, the title of that very short story is:

The Passive-Aggressive Act of Parting by Farting.

I'm off to bed, too, but just an update on our freaky weather . . . along with the tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings, we had hail, 50-60 mph winds and the temp was around 52 or so a little over three hours ago and now it is 14 (that's Fahrenheit, folks!). Gads!!! I hate the bus stop . . . how old do the kids have to be before I can send them out on there own??

Emily started it off by recounting <no pun intended .. . . ..no really> the tale of her DH's running total, updated by email through the day w/ an astounding triple-digits by dinner and .. . . .how'd it go? :lol: "after dinner, all hell broke loose" ROFL :lol::lol::lol:

Her adding that the avg was 10-18 per day sealed it. How could we NOT launch Project Fart Chart?

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
