We got plastic babies baked in cakes, Port-O-Biffs (sounds like a PREPPY toilet) and my all-time favorite: Open Original Shared Link

Yes, that about sums it up.......and don't forget -- what types of FISH you've been kissing....

hat is her cartoon character face. That's my little Weasel......she really looks rather like an animated creature at times.

and she LOVES pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Uhmmm....pancakes. Much better than kissing fish :P

And don't leave out the beads & associated/mandatory breast flashing!! :o

Tom- We ALL flash our breasts everytime we post. You just can't SEE us!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Actually, I'm giving up flashing for Lent.

Patti made a phunny with HeyMoes!!!!!!!

I've been to N'Orleans....it's scary when it's quiet, never mind Mardi Gras!!!!!!! :ph34r: I actually ate a cake (King's cake?) with the wee plastic baby in it. Supposed to be good luck if you get the piece with the wee babe in it!

Really interesting stuff.....knew about Shrove Tuesday (as is here) and the following Lent but had no idea 'Mardi Gras' was connected (Duh!)

...of course I've heard of Mardi Gras in New Orleans but didn't know it had religious conotations!!!

That's because there AREN"T any religious connotations any more....... <_< 'Tis pure debauchery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

evidently I've given up dating for Lent......unawares. :huh:

I think I"ll hide something in my own food tonight and squeal w/ joy when I find it. This will be done at a restaurant where I'll be celebrating the Fatness of Tuesday adn other things. Now must just locate a wee plastic babe........... ;)

Patti's HMO's - :lol::lol::lol:

Emily's Diaries - :lol::lol::lol:

Follow-up from the pedGI (then I won't drag this thread down any further) . . . He would like to scope her again. He said that's what it says to do in his GI handbook :lol: . I actually quite like him. He has a decent sense of humor and he appears to listen to me. He did not bat an eye when I told him that I decided she didn't need to be on Erythromycin any longer (I had my reasons and told him). He gave me some options . . . take her off dairy and see if there are any improvements or double her prevacid (which should be her dose anyway based on her size). He's going to talk to the allergist who DID NOT test her for ANY food allergies. I think that we are both leaning towards some additional food intolerance/allergy (he's not assuming dairy). I need to stew it over and decide what I want to do, implement it and check in with him in a month to see where we stand.

I'm having vague memories of my mom hiding inedibles in our birthday cakes....I seem to remember that she'd throw in not just one coin, but many, so all the kiddies would have the chance to go home with something. Gad....I do remember silver shining up from the toilet bowl at me.... :o

Susie! You must hide a handful of morning glory seeds in your food this evening. You likely will not squeal....you'll just giggle....and giggle.....

My older brother HATED all vegetables. He LOVED mashed potatoes. One meal he left the table to use the bathroom. My oldest brother decided to hide peas in his mashed potatos while he was gone. Mom and Dad sat and watched the drama unfold. It was not pretty. Food being spit out, yelling, laughing and pointing, throwing of silverware . . . ahhh, memories.

I, on the other hand, got in trouble for trying to flush a half of a chicken salad sandwich.

oh 'tis a FINE idea!!!!!! Let me grab my packet o' seeds and put them in my purse......will be a lurvely surprise for both the girls and me!!!!!!!!! :P

Janet - - your doc sounds good......keep us posted. Seems - from what I've read here and my own experience - that many people CAN go back to dairy if they give it a break? Let's hope????????????? :rolleyes:

OMG - just a knock at the door - 'twas Stepford (always a pop-in, never a call) to see if I could watch the dog for her gathering - alas, I was dressed to go out.

But - scariest of all - she just said she wants to take me out to eat to this restaurant I'd mentioned................... GAH!!!!!!!! :o:o:blink:

what in hell do I do now? how will I get out of this one? why does she want to hang out with me?

Susie!! Oh, please, please go out to lunch with Stepford! Fascinating to imagine what will unfold. Oh, you simply must go. C'mon...think of your real friends, US, and keeping us thoroughly entertained. <_<:lol:

A very curious development....

You must go to eat with her and find out just what all of this is about.

Keep your friends close, but keep your Stepford closer ;)

Are you all MAD???????????????????????????? I really DO NOT want to hang out with this human form of near-perfection - we have NOTHING in common!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - OMG - it's official.

I have no life.

Both girls canceled - valid reasons but very, very disappointing.

Life really has passed me by.......... bah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in the wrong town and OMG, I got my celiac dx too late in life - already ruined four decades by then. :huh:

OMG - oops - so sorry sillies. Carry on. I"ll have this pity party all alone here, whilst hiding from Stepford who wants me to babysit the wicked little dog.

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like another heavy snow overnight. We must be at the store early since our weekly delivery truck will arrive by 8:30.

The Bumper Dumper is at the same time hilarious and practical. But just where do you park to, well, you know... :ph34r:

Our Queen, Sarah, has gone missing again. Was it something one of us said?

Good night, all.

Morning, guys!

Took the kids in Jack's class out skating yesterday. Was showing off, showing them how to do a really masculine hockey stop (going like hell, then suddenly turning blades and leaning hard, causing a great spray of ice...quite spectacular if done properly, and by a diminutive woman). Well, OF COURSE when it matters I slip and fall on me arse. The bruise is what is now spectacular..... <_<

Our Queen, Sarah, has gone missing again. Was it something one of us said?

Gaaaahhh! Noooooo.... :ph34r:

Couldn't have been me....I've been so careful! :huh::lol:

Morning Sillies

Talk about strange weather this morning it is almost 60 out...I wore a thin sweater to work...in Feb in the dead of winter in PA....how strange!!!! Nice though :) My hopes of skiing this weekend are looking dim. Even if there is snow, its all man made and with the warm temps and then cold temps it will be all ice and no powder....no fun!

So has anyone seen Alex lately? I wonder how the wedding planning is?

How is our parade looking? We cannot disappoint :) A wedding ist a big occasion!!!

No, this time I don't think it is you, Emily. Sarah is well aware of your shenanigans . . . I think she might be seeing another forum behind our backs. :ph34r:

Crazy temperature swings here this year . . . 60 yesterday, suppose to get to -2 on Saturday night.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
