Hi, Peter!

Gee, if you scroll down far enough, they have Altoids. OMG. Recent arrivals here may not know the story, but if you search the board for that word, you will find some, er, interesting discussions.

Now, I'm curious...who here posted on that thread? It had to be at least two years ago, or more. I know I posted...at least once....maybe two or...three times. :ph34r::ph34r:

I wish we could all rush round - pool our resources - hands on help....god knows you could do with a break

I KNOW! wouldn't this be great, we could Silly-sit.........and after we're done silly-sitting, we could take turns in each other's gardens........have a potluck....thrown down some acid drops absinthe...sit and watch Oprah together :lol:

Your hard candy madam is frankly ...er....BORING!!! :lol:

Oh my gaaawd...you haven't lived 'til you've tried one of Open Original Shared Link :P

:( I could eat.....just about everything on that page, adn in mass quantities (I am a candy FIEND)........esp. the ones w/ soft centREs.......um, American hard gums? we call those gum drops here :lol:

'Tis my fair bro. He was here a couple of weeks ago when we still had snowbanks piled up to our roofs. He's in Toronto, where there is always much less snow. So, when he got here, he yelled something like, "Woo Hooooooooo!!!! Now THAT'S snow!! The winters of my childhood! How I've MISSED THIS!" Gawd....then he ran out and rolled around in the snow like Gus. I grabbed my camera, wanting to capture this mid-life insanity, and when he saw me out there, the snowballs began to fly....

:lol:

Thanks for the lesson on boiled sweets Nikki, I was picturing soft boiled plums and yams or something :lol:

Hey all, just popping in real quick. The kids are being pretty good today, which is a relief. I called the dr. and made an appt. for tomorrow. I told the receptionist that I had a few things going on, and it was going to take more than 5 minutes. So she gave me the last appt. of the day, at 5pm. So I'm going to see if I can get someone to watch the boys for me.

I think I'm going to ask her to step up my dosage on the Effexor. I've been thinking about that for the past few weeks anyway, so...

Patti, we used to be able to get samples of abx, but recently the drug reps haven't been distributing many at all. I don't know why. I do get the Effexor from her by sample packs... one reason why I hesitated to ask to step up that dosage. But I'm going to ask. It's hideously expensive if you buy it out of pocket.

Right now, I'm just trying to concentrate on daily things, dinner, homework, baths, one thing at a time. And just focus on each thing... not let my brain get going on anything outside of that.

For now, that's working.

Yes, that's good, try not to get too far ahead of yourself. Glad to hear about your late appt. tomorrow--she won't be hurried--always a plus! :)

Oh, boy....I was thinkin' about the lack of Silly and prevalence of Sad 'round here, so I called my dad and asked him to tell me something to throw in for comic relief. He told me to tell you all about the light switch in their living room. It doesn't do anything, and they've never bothered to ask the maintenance guys or cleaners about it. Every so often my dad would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, he got a call from a woman in Madagascar. She said, "Cut it out".

Your dad is too funny :lol:

We had a switch like that in the house we just sold--it was in the master bedroom and the day of the home inspection, the inspector, the agent and the guy buying the house asked me what it was for and I told them I had no idea. We lived there 7 1/2 years :ph34r:

I wonder :unsure: if they ever figured it out

Sarah, one thing at a time is a good approach. Hang in there!

Susie, a dvr (if it's the dvr i am thinking of) is a digital video recorder.

This phenomenon is happening in new houses too, I have switches all over that don't turn anything on or off :blink:

Reminds me of that commercial with the husband flipping on and off and on and off a switch, saying, "honey, what does this go to?"........meanwhile several houses down the street a garage door is opening and closing and opening and closing with every flip of that switch :lol::lol:

EARTHQUAKE!

Holy Crap!!!! . . . My First Ever!!!

Open Original Shared Link

OMG Janet!!! I heard about it on the news this morning, and wondered if any Sillies were in the affected area. I've never been in an earthquake. Did you have any damage? Everybody ok? That would've scared the crap outta me!!!

Morning, Ma Sillies!

Earthquake? How exciting, Janet! Did you hide in the basement? No--run outside--no....what do you do when an eathquake strikes? <_<:rolleyes:

Well! Today Sarah's got her crucial appointment with the doc. So glad you're going, Sarah--just let it all pour out. Help shall come! :lol:

Today is, what--day 2 of the new Smoke-free Ptaoughmn? How are you feeling? Probably not very silly maintenant.....but YOU CAN DO THIS..........! :)

Today Alan hits The Magic Kingdom, n'est-ce pas? So magical....hope he meets up with our yeti at the parade (we all know how well the yeti commandeers a parade when he gets the chance....)....

So, a normal day here. Gonna go out back and figger where we're planting a new tree we'll be buying, to replace....(now, I have NOT brought this up at all because I choke up whenever I do...our HUGE, eighty year-old horse chestnut tree is officially dying--my kids have climbed it, had a house up in its grand, twisted branches, the tire swing still hangs resolutely from a limb that always seems to be waving at me in the kitchen...). :( Each morning lately I have gone out and put my arms around this majestic thing, feeling, squeezing for its life. But it must come down. :(

And...we will bury Ol' Aunt Rose under the new one. She would like this. Much better than being in with our running shoes and work boots..... <_<

Well, at our house, we sit up in bed and say "Holy Crap, It's an Earthquake!!"

It wasn't strong enough to do any damage (we were about 150 miles away and it was about 5.4 at the epicenter). Just strong enough to wake everyone up, meet in the hallway to discuss it, watch about 15 minutes of the news to verify it was an earthquake (along with how big and epicenter locale) and then go back to bed.

Time to go to work.

Later Sillies!

Mornin' Sillies :D

Goodness gracious Janet :o Good think it was a small one!

Emily--have fun planting your new tree....sorry 'bout the ol' chestnut. We planned to plant 2 new trees on the side of our yard this weekend, but we have to wait till next weekend. There's a law, apparently, that we have to call to have all the utilities come out and mark anything running underground.

Turns out, since I called yesterday, there's a waiting period of 3 business days and even then it has to be done by May 1. What a production <_<

Hey, Janet, it woke me up, too! I was checking in here to see how it was in IN!

So, when did you and Bev meet? Where?

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
