It is a very old thread, now in its fourth year and on its fourth life.

So if it was a cat, I would say it's got five more lives to go . . . but it's chocolate. What's the life expectancy of chocolate? I know that once it gets into my house, it's got about 24 hours max, but what if it's just hangin' out there on a thread?

Sillies I almost forgot to tell you....yesterday I was laying on the couch and my cat came up and laid between me and the back of the couch, he was on top of my back and I was on my stomach surfing the net. Well, he was purring like a motor and it was the strangest feeling....it was going right through me! Anyone ever have a cat so strange?

mad dingo-brained woman cackling maniacally in the produce section, others quietly navigating AROUND this crazy lady..........

Sounds kinda fun but all I can think of is how I have NO idea how many years it's been since I could comfortably lie on my stomach. -_-

- whatever - but today it was a CABBAGE. :lol: (please note: it's GROEEN, BTW)

AAhh! Green again!! ...a head of cabbage...

Did you weigh it? The rule is: if it weighs more than your own head, it is fully ripe and ready for consumption. :lol::lol:

you guys would LOVE me mum!

Yep. Already do...she is SO in for the Laurentians!

:lol: Yes, we can ALL have Mad Janie......crazy cackler that she is....Nicola, I'll axe her to adopt you, she wants more chillen's and wants grandchildren that actually pay attnetion to her, so make yer boys hop to it...... (my bro is not her biological son, though she has raised him such - but his five girls are not her biological grandchildren - oh and their gluten-brained mother NEVER EVER EVER has taught them to pay any attention to anyone outside of their immediate family :angry: )

Janie will adopt all who need a goofy mother figure. :) She has a VERY un-goofy husband - - hardly a shred of silliness in this man - hence she DEMANDS I hang out wif her at least once or twice a week.

Sounds kinda fun but all I can think of is how I have NO idea how many years it's been since I could comfortably lie on my stomach. -_-

:lol: really? must weigh own head and then weigh the wee cabbage.

in other news.......

OMG sillies. Young Jenn is/ was being set up on a blind date w/ this young doctor. Looked cute when we googled him, we were slightly pleased. Well, they've had a couple less-than-stellar phone conversations.......it's not been going well. :huh:

So....Jenn is to get together w/ Kissey and a few of us this evening, but this dr. called yesterday and wondered if she could get together this evening after she gets off work. Well, tonight she's off at 6 instead of 8, adn told him she might be able to get together for a quick coffee before meeting friends out.....

There was a pause...... "Six o'clock?" he said, haltingly....... "well...............maybe we can get together for a..... light salad."

:blink:

what in hell? we find this very odd and we've been pondering it......

does light salad mean........she can't eat anything BUT that? she can ONLY have a salad? can it have......say........chicken on it, or is that not a LIGHT SALAD any longer? What if she wants a chicken caesar, is that okay? what if she wants soup with her salad?

What ARE the rules here??????????????????????

:lol: :lol: :lol:

we are bad people. :ph34r: Anywho Jenn's cancelling and just meeting us tonight.....no LIGHT SALAD.

Happy St Patrick's day All! I am 1/2 Irish. Me biological mum was straight off the boat! Actually- this is weird- my biological mum was irish and my bio dad was French-Canadian and my parents who adopted me were the same in reverse- me dad is a red-headed Irish man and me mum was the French Canadian one!

Siouxie- I want your mad mommy to adopt me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a football (soccer) club we called Personchester United. My job title was personager. The books we gave customers to help them use our products were personuals. Well, you get the drift. We even had a staff member we called Mr. Federperson. Oh, person! It was phunny at the time. Maybe it was just huperson nature. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sometimes I laugh so hard here my persondible hurts.

:lol: :lol:

Tom, what are those beers that you've got in your av?

Did you get mo' beer from Bev them from the BevMo?

I'm tired- everyone always wants MoBev Mo :P

Just about anything on a plate weighs less than DH's head....honestly. A Herculean Head, 'e's got..... :rolleyes::lol:

OMG.... :lol::lol:

Actually, this has gotten me thinking......

Do you think there is a market for painted toilets? I mean, fascinating trompe l'oieul effects....mouths that open, manhole covers into sewers, compact disc players that open, etc. This may be a whole new area for me to explore. As soon as I saw the cheese toilet, my immediate reaction was, "Well.....they could've made it look a lot more like cheese..." It should've been painted as a Philly creme cheese container that you open or sumfin. Hmmmmmm, a ponderable......

Didn't you say he was a doctor? Is he at least cute, do you know?

I cannot even tell you guys how much I lust after TV doctors. Patrick Dempsey... Hugh Laurie... :swoon: Lord, save me.

Speaking of which... tomorrow is a minor milestone for me. I'm going to my old college to fill out financial aid paperwork. I was an English major before, so I need to get a couple Bio classes in next fall before I apply to nursing school. Keep your fingers crossed that my car makes it, because it's not been doing well lately. :unsure:

BTW... My luurve for TV doctors has NOTHING to do with my decision to go to nursing school. Promise.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! 3/4 Irish for me. I temporarily lost my mind and went out to the bar with some friends. The fact that I'm home by 10 is a clue to my level of enjoyment of the outing <_<. Not really my scene anymore; not sure it ever really was. I almost got vomited on by a very drunk 19 year old (well I'm assuming it was her first legal St. Patty's dad anyway ;) ). I'm so glad that I was never that girl who got so schnockered that I vomited on strangers. Very unattractive :lol:!

I've been thinking about your dad, Emily. I hope he was able to get his test done and that everything looks good. I hope the hospital takes better care of him -- makes me sad to think of him in the hall for hours :(.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
