A spreadsheet?

:lol: :lol: gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, a spreadsheet. A Phart Chart, to be more precise. I"ll talk to him about this, maybe we can merge the Phart Chart w/ the makeup statistics and.........anovars? Anovas? What in hell were they? - and this will make for some really riveting conversation and study. Oh, it has also occurred to me that we really should be keeping better track of Yeti - where in hell IS he now? - and perhaps a spreadsheet is in order for that, as well.

:lol:

<you can see I"m taking phrequent breaks from my heinous task> :ph34r:

You could chart your flatus with his, and see how things measure up. Are firefighters gassy individuals? I should think not....would be quite a hazard in a burning building, methinks. Yes, Susie, I think you should try a date with him. Why not? May be very good for you, and he probably won't know what hit him. :lol:

Blunted affect.....don't think I know too many people living with this. Blunted villi, well....... <_<:rolleyes:

Don't forget the butt sniffing

Always good advice :lol:

DONNA! You're looking more gorgeous in every av!!!!!!!!

I agree B)

Gawd :lol:

So much Saturday silliness! My intestines have quieted down for now (I know you're all on the edge of your toilet seats wondering about this :P )--I had mostly mashed potatoes for dinner--quite soothing.

Who said malfeasance? Was it Susie? I love that word :P

Good news, Patti. I actually was wondering.....Perhaps not quite on the edge of my seat, but thinking of you.. ;):)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

You are one nutty lady. I think that every time I read your thoughts, just every now and then, I am struck with it anew, and of course, hold deepest admiration for you. :lol:

Well, let's see.....is that like astrological compatibility, the phlatus charting? Must one's pharts be in alignment for a successphul relationship? :lol: But yes, I do agree - the phirephighter w/ phlatus is a phlagrant hazard for his duty, and surely an annoyance to his phellow crew. :lol:

Who said malfeasance? Was it Susie? I love that word :P

:lol: yes, it was I. I, too, love that word......and also malfeaSOR, the one who has conducted the malfeasance.

OMG - you did not see me here. :ph34r: But am happy to report, I am one-third of the way done w/ the vile carpet. Mygawd, some areas I have to go over SIX TIMES. :blink: It's been a while, I was waiting for Stinker to go and the rains to cease.

oh I miss kissing my black-nosed girl....... did you guys know I mainly like dogs w/ black noses and pointed ears? a freakish thing. I can't say why, but I nearly kidnapped dog-napped a German Shepherd today. :lol:

But I tell ya what, there is NOTHING more boring than shampooing the carpet.....I am a hostage.....I can't watch anything, read anything, listen to anything (though I do have my beloved Ipod on my head)......one is just held captive to this egregious chore, and left to one's Dingo thoughts in one's head.

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Mashed potatoes are so nice when you're not feeling well. We used to have a constant supply of mashed potatoes in our fridge to reheat that made up the bulk of most my meals. Not so much any more! Must stop myself from professing how good I'm feeling :unsure: for health and safety purposes.

Yesterday my brother reminded me of how our mom used to make us "hot jello" when we weren't feeling well. She would make jello but we would drink it hot instead of letting it cool and eating it. She would give it to us for colds, sore throats, stomachaches, dental issues, pretty much anything . . . a veritable panacea if you will. I highly recommend it for whatever ails you but I think it works better if someone else makes it for you instead of having to make it yourself. ;)

Susie--Yeah, I get some of my best thinking done while vaccuming! :D

Well, you know what they say--well begun is half done ;) Or I guess in your case, a third :lol:

This is so cute--my MIL used to do this for her kids, too. :D To this day, if I make Jello, and Mark's around, he likes to take a few spoonfuls of it while it's still hot and drink it.

:) that IS so cute!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps I can get a neighboUr.....maybe Stepford? - to make it for me. Instead of taking me to the Ethiopian restaurant, I"ll request the hot jello. ;)

the thinking whilst vacuuming....I just got off the phone w/ a friend, and told her, this is heinous, I am held hostage to my thoughts.......NO ONE would be able to endure this brain and its convoluted thoughts.....no one......hard to walk around and be with it all the time - and act normal :lol: :lol: :lol: [but truthfully - it's an entirely different place without the opioid peptide contaminating it :rolleyes: ]

What's happened????....did Amy get to you??? :o .....have you been.... :blink: .... bee-hived????

Just having hair issues, specifically "curly hair" hair issues, I thought I would go to the expert and ask her advice/suggestions.

Sniffing butts, heavy flirting, lots of biffing and chasing, licking, romping......oh, and Annie had a good time, too!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: (cracking self up)

:lol::lol::lol:

This had me bent over with side splitting chuckles, a good 300 calories worth.

Especially the sniffing butts part.

Here's an entry on a dog's New Years Resolution List:

"Take time from busy schedule to stop and smell the behinds." :lol:

And this Firefighter, you MUST go out with him!!!!!!!! Do it for all of us, do it for me!!!!! You only live once, and life is short, and all those other things that people say :lol: Why not? Can't hurt anything, besides he can be another entry in your dating adventures memoir!

I'm sad about my dad....anyone see the thread I started in testing/symptoms? It's so frustrating, my dad not easily able to start the gluten-free diet, due to his living situation.... :(

:( Emily, very frustrating indeed.

YES, we're waiting for you to come back to the cult for your review of PureLuxe!!!!

:lol: Did we chase away Susie from our cult?

My intestines have quieted down for now (I know you're all on the edge of your toilet seats wondering about this :P )--I had mostly mashed potatoes for dinner--quite soothing.

So sorry Patti about your intestinal woes :(

I'm glad you are feeling better, mashed potatoes always hit the spot :)

Hot jello, that brings back memories!

Well, let's see.....is that like astrological compatibility, the phlatus charting? Must one's pharts be in alignment for a successphul relationship?

Yes, yes! One could be charting one's phlatus (phlatii?) like the stars. Perhaps we have signs and can get a sense of personal traits through this charting....

Gad, there's no way I'm in alignment with DH.....his chart is way off the charts. :lol:

OMG - you did not see me here. :ph34r: But am happy to report, I am one-third of the way done w/ the vile carpet. Mygawd, some areas I have to go over SIX TIMES. :blink:

Susie!! Why don't you have hardwood? I cannot imagine life with dogs (or even without) in a home with even a smidgen of carpeting. Carpets are heinous! Wood floors you just sweep and damp-mop once a week.

Ahhhhh...but then, nowhere to scoot along with full anal glands... :lol:

oh I miss kissing my black-nosed girl....... did you guys know I mainly like dogs w/ black noses and pointed ears?

When Gus was a pup, he had a BEAUTIFUL, shiny black nose. I just loved it. I then noticed it began to change, gradually getting lighter until it settled on a rather sub-standard brown. <_< I often think I'll try to dye it back to its rich ebony hue.

Well, Susie, it's fine to mainly like dogs with black noses and pointed ears...but this doesn't extend to men.....does it? :blink:

Yesterday my brother reminded me of how our mom used to make us "hot jello" when we weren't feeling well. She would make jello but we would drink it hot instead of letting it cool and eating it.

I've never heard of this fascinating concoction. My mom used to slap mustard plasters on our chests when we weren't feeling well. HEINOUS.....

Boy I missed some silliness today. We got some errands done and my neighbors baby is very sick below us. SO I spent some time with her, the baby is supposed to spend the night at our place tomorrow night into Monday since she has to work unexpectantly, so we will just bring him with us to the hospital in the morning, his mom works as a nurse 3rd shift and will be getting off at 7:30.

We attempted to go to Outback for dinner tonnight, but the wait was 1 1/2 hrs :blink: there was no way I was waiting that long. We ended up at Red Robin in the end.

Such strange weather, we woke up to snow, and it melted during the day. We pulled into the parking lot at Red Robin and it was lightining....Soon it was downpouring... Tomorrow we are getting this artic blast with very very cold air. The wind child will be below zero....BRRRRRR!

Today we did find a duplex with both sides up for sale and a very cheap price! We are all going to look into it further. The monthly mortgage estimate is 400 bucks less than we pay in rent, it has a big yard so her doggies have room and a big driveway for all of us. Cute place too, each has 2 bedrooms and thats all we need right now.

So thats all my news for the day :):)

and NO!!!!!!!!! you did NOT scare me away from the cult!!!!!!! I will be back, I tell you, I"LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!! I actually need to read all y'all's reviews, am about to buy some new foundation/powder/minerals cr*p, need to know what to get.

:lol: hopefully ameliorated soon by the gluten-free (or is it gluten-lite?) diet.

Hardwood......yes, that is what we want, dearly. It was several thousand dollars, unless I lay it myself. <scary thought as requires mathS and measuring and cutting - gads> :angry: This house came w/ carpet, lovely caramel-coloUred carpet, and it has stayed that way. BOLLOCKS! :angry:

and yes, how DO they scoot on the hardwood? :lol:

Well, Susie, it's fine to mainly like dogs with black noses and pointed ears...but this doesn't extend to men.....does it? :blink:

:lol: :lol:

not insofar as I know.....but HEY! maybe THAT's THE TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mustard plasters? Hot jello? mygawd, my own mother is inept, I guess. :lol:

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Less per month, and you are investing in your future. Look into it carefully to be sure there are no hidden land mines, but if this is true, grab it.

Well, I guess I'm the only nay-sayer. I just don't like the sound of this:

Plus - he told he he gave his other lab to the POUND because it was destroying his yard...........OMG - many points knocked off for that.

Unless you are only using him for meaningless sex, I say stay away . . . the POUND no less, if he had said he had to find the dog a different home, I would have been all right with that, but NOT the POUND. :angry::(

oh I miss kissing my black-nosed girl....... did you guys know I mainly like dogs w/ black noses and pointed ears? a freakish thing. I can't say why, but I nearly kidnapped dog-napped a German Shepherd today. :lol:

I seem to pick out similar dogs also. Several people pointed out that Josie is the same size/shape that my Maggie Dog was . . . just a different coloUr. I go for long noses, long legs, skinny bellies (don't know how to describe that . . . kind of like that greyhound chest/belly profile), about 40 pounds and FEMALE!!!

WOW AMANDA!!! That's fast!!! Good Luck and my unsolicited advice is to make sure you get a home inspection.

Has anyone else noticed this? When I'm writing emails to other people and I need to use a word such as honoUR, I naturally want to spell it with the capital U. I'm sure the receiver would be wondering WTH I'm doing!!! :huh:

:( that was EXACTLY my thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And since I'm NOT into meaningless sex (mygawd, is there anything we haven't covered here? :ph34r::lol: ) what in hell's the point? Who would do that.....send their dog to the pound for bad behavior.......unfathomable. Many people would adopt a purebred Lab, digger or no...........and he separated the two siblings......:(

Unless you are only using him for meaningless sex, I say stay away . . .

Well.....looking around, brow creased......Of course we're talking about simple, meaningless sex...aren't we? Why on earth would you ever even remotely consider a very attractive child/man with limited intellect, experience and wisdom, unless it were for simple sex? :rolleyes::lol: I would say demerit points for: heinous handling of the pup, and being a firefighter (the few I know are maddeningly self-centred and work 24 hour shifts followed by four days off, so it's see-him-non-stop-for-days, then-nothing-for ages). So just sex, then see ya later, or nuttin' at all. ;):lol:

I go for long noses, long legs, skinny bellies (don't know how to describe that . . . kind of like that greyhound chest/belly profile), about 40 pounds....

Hey! I'm up early enough to say "G'Morning Sillies!!"

Busy silly saturday y'all . ..off to catch up. (& the *&^%$# Sunday paper not here yet :P:lol: )

Hope I don't jinx myself Patti-style in saying I feel better than I have in weeks.

So I won't. :P

I'm KNOT feeling that good. (But I lie)

Played basketball yesterday - I'm talkin' an actual GAME!! Months ahead of schedule!! - I literally stopped play after a bucket to announce it was my 1st in a game in 8yrs!!

(Realized later it might be 6yrs)

Ok .. . .time to catch up on meaningless sex ... . . . . ..... . .. . ..errr .. . . reading about meaningless sex .. . .

P.S. Donna! What a fantastic surprise yesterday's summery day was! :) :) :)

P.S. Donna! What a fantastic surprise yesterday's summery day was!

:lol: I read this as "yesterday's summary" and was completely confused, where WAS this summary? what did I miss? until I saw Donna's comment.

ugh, carpets are nearly completely done, just one more bedroom, and my body and back are one big ache - - dear gawd - - - where is that fireman to finish the task???????????? :huh:

Nikki does have a point though . . . most of those firefighter have a job on the side and a lot of them do contract/construction type of work. I'm sure you could get one to lay a hardwood floor for you in exchange for sexal favoUrs.

:lol: that would be Annie's number one resolution......my little hedonist is all about food, love, food, cuddling, FOOD, playing and romping and going anywhere.....and love and food. :)

Josie knows how to tell time. If someone (one of the kids) hasn't fed her by 8:00 am (and again by 6:00pm), then she stands in front of them and barks. She also knows when it's time for the school bus to come.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
