Bad news: These same two lovely sweet children DESTROYED my kitchen this morning whilst I slept.

Ohhhhhhh my gahhhhhhhhhhhhd!!

1st time thru is like a horror story, but now it's hilarious. So many elements of a great story. Desire, mischief, good intentions gone wrong (swiffering the bathroom?). :lol:

The line "But Ezra is a climber" is Hemingwayesque!! The economy of words saying so much.

And "shiny glaze of sugar glue" is a classic :lol:

Oh excellent!!!!!!! I'll put the fresh sheets on yer bed. 'Tis almost done now, yer late!!!!!

These Lavendered pillows make me dizzy. :wacko:

Perhaps this is just positive thinking on my part because it has been a VERY short time since Colin's been completely gluten-free but I think I may be seeing some small changes. :D

Small is how it starts. ;):)

Thanks for your excitement everyone. Outside of my immediate family there aren't too many other people in my life besides the Sillies who would understand the hugeness of being able to finish a board game.

Having been someone, not all that long ago, who often had trouble finishing (& starting & .. . .middling(?)) SENTENCES, it's pretty easy to see the magnitude and share your joy. :) :)

but..........this confirms it...... I am - for the moment - BROKEN UP w/ my melatonin. Back on effexor and will re-evaluate later......................

I take it the melatonin was to sleep better. Wondering whether you've tried all the herbal sleep aids. At least the chances of side-effects should be lower w/ those.

I should think you'd be confident that the effexor does what's expected.

. . . and toilet connoisseurs . . . :lol:
:lol:

Naturally! And by the way, I looooove that no one here finds it odd that I have a toilet in my living room. Most of my friends are quite confuzzled by my fondness for it.

Hehe the potential for perceived peculiarity hadn't crossed my mind until now. :lol:

In fact... One my really early posts was about Ezra doing one of his diabolical deeds. Check it out Open Original Shared Link.

Sarah!!! OMG :lol: I never saw that thread :lol:

"Super villian" indeed!

It makes me think of the chamber pots that were common in the days before indoor commodes.

:ph34r: I often thanked god for flushing.

Wow ... .. .I'm watching PBS's Frontline show titled "Bush's War". Just 10min in and it almost seemed like it should be mandatory viewing for all Americans.

(heyyyyy this is part2 .. ..doesn't FEEL like a part2)

P.S. :lol: Em, now I can't look at my av or the St George bottle w/out thinking of your great locker-room line I'd inadvertantly set you up for.

Morning, Sillies!!!

Ah, we are being promised a day well above zero--5 or 6 degrees. About bloody time.....

Very curious. I thought the exchange rate had swung your way. :huh: :eh?:

We were at $1.10 about six months ago, but now we're right around parity. First time since the early seventies....and I still haven't made it across the border this season to rummage through the outlets in Watertown.....

Naturally! And by the way, I looooove that no one here finds it odd that I have a toilet in my living room. Most of my friends are quite confuzzled by my fondness for it.

Absolutely NO confuzzlement here. Do not forget where you are, Sarah...this is, after all, the land of Penis Slings and Anal Glands.... :o:lol:

Ohhhhhhh my gahhhhhhhhhhhhd!!

I totally sit in agreement. Such raucous, entertaining recounting you do, Sarah. You should be thinking about a book, as well:

But Ezra is a Climber

Life With my Boys

:lol::lol:

P.S. :lol: Em, now I can't look at my av or the St George bottle w/out thinking of your great locker-room line I'd inadvertantly set you up for.

Inadvertant, but a FABULOUS, irresistable, and immediately obvious set-up....thank you, Ptaum. ....Errrr....at least, obvious for ME.....I'm certain everyone else was thinking along those lines....right...?... :unsure::lol:

Morning Sillies....

a little tired this morning. Sorry I didnt pop in last night, things just got too hectic around my house. Very depressing moment as well...Can't seem to fit into a lot of my spring/summer skirts and tops etc....John told me just to buy bigger clothes....not that I wanted to hear that...I already weigh the most I ever weighed and I feel ugly and huge....

So I hit the gym hard!

Morning all :D

Good news: The kids have been rapidly improving since the great kitchen cleaning of last week!

Bad news: These same two lovely sweet children DESTROYED my kitchen this morning whilst I slept.

OMGaaawd Sarah!!!!!! :lol: ...been there...done that....got the t-shirt!!!!!!!

Yes....laugh....so you don't KILL them with your bare hands :lol:

My son (devil child) once threw a tin of gloss paint (whilst standing on the dining room table)...I swear it took him 3 seconds.

The lid popped on impact - and as I calmly wiped the splatters from my face surveying the devastation I laughed + laughed.......uncontrollably( like a mad thing :lol: )

I think I lost the will to live that day.

Although my kids have grown out those type of antics spare me some sympathy as I now have 3 teens (GAD! Devil child as teen=HEINOUS!!!!!!)

:lol: Nikki--I'm laughing my fool head off right now reading the plights of you and Sarah!

I'm remembering back when I was pregnant with Matt and JP was about 3. I was laying on the couch with heinous morning sickness and he was playing there in the family room. I musta dozed off for a few minutes, and he decided to clean out the referigerator and "make food" on the oriental carpet.

As I recall, there were eggs, pudding, Cool Whip and a few other things involved. I cleaned it as best I could and Mark came home at lunch and took the carpet right in to be cleaned--otherwise, I doubt everything woulda come out.

Lovely, sweet, creative children.... <_<

Um.......have ya not noticed? There is very little we find odd here. :lol:

Alas, it would be......um.........disturbing if people did still USE it as a toilet. Sarah, you haven't told us whether it is still in use, now have you. You have discreetly said - this piece of furniture is in my living room - - we are all just assuming that it's not in use as a poop receptable...so what is the truth? :huh::lol:

But then, I think, having it is one thing, but actually using it would be another thing altogether. It makes me think of the chamber pots that were common in the days before indoor commodes. I imagine that the, um, aroma could be somewhat troubling. :(

oh myyy gawwwwwd.......you're not kidding. :huh: I lived in a guest house for five years in a lovely older neighborhood. The people next door were veeeeeeeeeeeery old - hardly mobile, going blind, deaf, all kinds of things. Well, I went into their house three times.....I can hardly explain it to anyone - the sights and........smells........all the cats........so many cats and bowls of food everywhere and........cat waste everywhere........ :vomitface: They had a portable toilet in their living room............never cleaned out.......but highly used............and OMG the filth....

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :hurl: :stopthinkingofit: :blink:

They offered me fried chicken once.......very old-smelling chicken.....that combined w/ the other smells - - I actually wretched...... I can't handle smells and that is why I am not a nurse or anything like that.

The line "But Ezra is a climber" is Hemingwayesque!! The economy of words saying so much.

And "shiny glaze of sugar glue" is a classic :lol:

:lol: :lol: I know - brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes - Sarah must compile a book of her boys' dastardly deeds..........I remember reading about the gum in the windows..........gads.................................

Patti - loved the "cooking on the rug" story :lol:

and Nicola - - OMG the paint everywhere - and you just laughed!!!!!!!!!!!!! excellent - the sign of true WACKL :lol: "I lost the will to live that day" bah ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG Ptaum - I was watching that same PBS show at 3 a.m. - - I was tired but it was quite fascinating......but......I don't remember much of it.

Absolutely NO confuzzlement here. Do not forget where you are, Sarah...this is, after all, the land of Penis Slings and Anal Glands....

Gotta make this fast... need to jump in the shower, and then off to the doctor again. Hopefully will get some meds that work this time!

Nikki! Paint can, noooooooo! :lol: Yet you laughed, how fabulous. Reminds me of a saying, something about dropping your keys in a river of molten lava. Let 'em go, cuz man... they're gone.

Patti, cooking on the rug! Reminds me of the time Ezra decided to give all his toys a bath while I was on the phone with my mom on the other side of the house. Instead of bringing his toys to the bath, he... er... brought the bath to the toys. After their bath, of course they needed baby powder.

We should ALL get together and write a book about these exploits!

C'mon Janet, we know you got stories! How' bout one like this? The time Lucas, at age 18 months, had a diarrhea explosion in a Burger King high chair.

There was no way any mortal diaper could hold such a quantity of poop. There, in a restaurant full of people trying to eat, was a high chair dripping with diarrhea. I looked at my husband and said, "Oh dear."

I went to the manager and said, "My son has had an accident in the high chair over there. Do you have any disinfectant?" She got all flustered and worried and started dragging out forms for me to fill out. I asked what the forms were, and she said they were "Accident report forms." :huh: I found it odd that I needed to fill out a form because my baby's diaper exploded.

And then she asked how bad he was hurt. I realized there was a miscommunication problem. I said, "No, no, no! It's just POO."

GAH! I gotta get in the shower!

One more thing--

Of course we don't use the living room potty! It's an antique.

:blink:

:o Shivers....this looks like the one I had to use in the hospital last year when I had my hysterectomy. The poor lady in the bed next to me had an accident in the bathroom in the room and they had to disinfect it.

So...they brought one of these portable ones in for me--and no way was I gonna use it. :ph34r: But I ended up having to anyway....IV fluids and all... :ph34r: Gawd :(

Sarah--the exploding diaper....on a car trip from Atlanta to Syracuse, one of my sons had a similar occurance at a diner. We were able to get him into the rest room, and between cleaning him up and then trying to clean up the restroom--what a fiasco. Luckily, since we had luggage in the car, I had a complete change of clothes for him. I remember in the middle of all this, Mark and I just looked at each other and laughed.

Another time at the food court at the mall, Matt swallowed a tortilla chip wrong and it scratched his throat. He literally screamed at the top of his lungs for -I swear- a good 5 minutes. (Overly dramatic) We (naturally) were talking to some people we knew who had stopped by the table, of course childless, and probably are to this day after that! <_< .

I just went and tried on my fave jean shorts that I've had for a couple of years...they have not a stitch of spandex in them, so there's NO give, NO wiggle room at all, and therefore I regard them as my harshest and most accurate measurement tool. Cannot....quite.....get the top button fastened...... :o:angry::angry:

So! Feel your pain as well, Amanda.....

Going for a LOOOOOONNNNNNG run.

My son (devil child) once threw a tin of gloss paint (whilst standing on the dining room table)...I swear it took him 3 seconds.

Let's see.......my kids have generated more verbal disasters than physical ones, I think. When The Ripper was about three, we got on an elevator in a fancy building downtown, and already inside was a man who must have weighed 400 pounds. We scrunched around him and began the long, silent ride up to the 16th floor.

I could just feel Jack staring, and the wheels turning. At about floor 5 he asked very loudly, "You're really FAT, eh?"

Oh, gawd.....and we had 11 more floors to spend with this man. :o:o<_<

Burger King poop!! Augghhhh, Sarah.... :lol:

Yes fascinating show. Overwhelming amount of info on the debacle & causal ineptitude. Love all the interviews w/ the major players & their immediate underlings.

I just might watch it again.

Maybe if EVERYone watched it, 'twould be harder for the next Buffoon to start a pointless, or at least misguided, war. :(

      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
