Why, it's a happy liver! Trying to get a positive vibe going for all you enzyme-challenged...

Are you sure? Looks like one of those giant turkey legs you get at amusement parks, fairs, and flea markets

.........or a gee-tar

I could use a happy liver, maybe mine will be inspired by your rendering here!

Got my boy back & all is right in the world!!!

Yay Nikki, glad your boy is home safe and sound!!

Gee, it is quiet here today.

Regarding the Toronto transit strike, the Legislature met in emergency session at 1:30 today and unanimously passed the back-to-work bill, and at 2:45 it was signed into law by the Lt-Governor. Service began resuming a little after five, and most service is running now. The Monday morning commute will be as normal as it ever is. :o

(For those who may wonder, in Canada the Lieutenant Governor of a province represents Her Majesty in that province--there is no Governor. There is a Governor-General who represents the Crown to the federal government and to Canada as a whole.)

Happy birthday, Richard, if you are here. If not, we are all celebrating our founder's birthday in absentia.

Carry on!

Happy Birthday Richard!!!! Wish you could be with all your favorite sillies!

We spent the day celebrating Russian Easter with John's family.

Landen is not with us tonight, he is with his grandparents who came in from Michigan! They haven't seen him in months.

Good Morning, Sillies.....

I am pleased that it was as quiet as it was here yesterday, as I was so busy that I would have had a lot more to catch up on. You know how you rush about like an idiot, multitasking and then doing one big job right after another, and then suddenly think, "Okay! NOW I can throw myself on a deck chair and read some of the paper before I need to start supper"....and you look at the clock, at it's 5:30? Gawd...that was me.

A very important, culminating appointment for Sophie today at the prosthedontist (maker of dental veneers, caps, implants, etc.) She had a horrific accident in September 2004 at her school. The story is enough to make one need to sit down - - it's that bad, and long, so perhaps I shall tell it when I've got the time to sit here and type. Anyways, the school was liable and we have a big insurance claim underway, and this may be one of the final specialist appointments and work to be done. To the tune of $$$$$$$$$$$......... :(:angry:

(For those who may wonder, in Canada the Lieutenant Governor of a province represents Her Majesty in that province--there is no Governor. There is a Governor-General who represents the Crown to the federal government and to Canada as a whole.)

Oracle Peter, thank you for this. I'm a good Canuck, but have never quite understood all of our bureaucratic positions, their respective jobs, and frankly, their necessity. The good Queen has all sorts of individuals representing her, doesn't she? No wonder she hardly ever comes over here...she doesn't need to! Do we have a Royal Representative municipally, as well? I am certain the position is there....gad, we have representatives of The Oskwegee Sump Pump Coalition er sumfin', so the Queen must be represented somehow... :lol:

Oh Emily--sounds terrible, what happened to Sophie :( I take it she's ok now, though, right? I'm happy for you both that she's nearing the end of her specialist appointments and the work she has had done. Poor thing--sounds like she's really been through a lot.

And...what are we????The Bobsy twins??? :lol: I had a day yesterday that I could have described the same way! Looked up and it was like 6:30! Got lots done and even had a nice visit our oldest :D All in all a good day :)

Hallo Sillies!!!!!!!!!! It seems like weeks :huh: With my brain, it probably has been. I'm not feeling very funny these days.....de-pressed. :( And my right hand, which I know is NOT, feels broken. It's one of the worst pains I've ever felt. I am sure it is some wackl Lyme bacteria but good God............I need absinthe STAT!!!!!!!!!

OK- on the brighter side I am fostering a wee love bug named Sadie (see new avatar). She is so sweet and she and Angus are madly in love! They kiss constantly. It's good as Kurt is leaving for New Orleans (Jazz Fest) on Wednesday for 6 days.

She is so sweet!! I picked her up on Saturday and the first thing she tried to do was jump UP me and kiss me. She was all over my nieces yesterday.

I want someone I know to adopt her so Angus can still have his girlfriend!!!!!! :wub: :wub:

Bev!! What a beeeeeooooootiful dog Sadie is.....Mygawd, how on earth will you be able to give her away? It would be SO tough for me to be doggie foster-mom. I would just keep them all, and have twenty three dogs at the end of a year. <_<:rolleyes:

Hope you're feeling better soon, Bev.

WOW! I never win ANYTHING........ :angry:

Well, Sophie's appointment went well, just more paper to add to the already huge file on her accident that we'll be presenting to the school board fairly soon...

In September '04, during the first week of school, Sophie, then 12, was outside for her gym class. This day was 94 degrees and blisteringly humid. They were doing football drills. Sophie asked to go in and get water, and the teacher said no, they'd be all going in shortly. Sophie asked again ten minutes later, and was again not let in to get water. Finally, they all were told to head inside. Sophie rushed in to the water fountain, by this time dying of thirst and weak, and there was already a big lineup at the fountain. She asked the teacher if she could go to the fountain down the hallway, and the teacher said, "No. Stay in this line, please".

And that's all Sophie remembers.

She woke up on the floor, blood everywhere. She'd passed out due to a sudden blood-pressure drop, due to lack of hydration. Her four front teeth were completely smashed in and hanging. The braces she'd just had put on, fortunately, kept her teeth from being all over the floor.

I got called, and went to the school. No ambulance had been called. Just me.

So, the story meanders on from there, but she's had all the teeth reset, splinted, filed down and root canalled. We're now getting estimates on what can be expected in years to come, because the claim can only continue for five years.

:(:( My poor kid. But she's been AMAZING through it all. SO brave, it's astonishing. Thank gawd, because I've often been a mess.....

Not Sillyville stuff AT ALL!

We need to hear from Susie and her meeting with Kissey Familials....and Ptaoughmn's road trip....and Janet's flying squirrels!

Hello hello silly ones,

Fun time there tho!! :D :D

The kids' production of H.S. Musical was too too cute & spending time w/ Teresa & the girls was long overdue.

They moved 3yrs ago but it comes to mind all the time that I wish they all still lived here.

Nikki's Son of a Silly has returned!!

Did he have a favoUrite part? Disneyworld has to be 1st guess.

Sarah - great Ezra Bday pic

I'm happy to hear that the appt. went well and she is through with all of this--she sounds like a real trooper, and boy, I know what you mean when you say she was brave and you were a mess ;)

Sophie's better'n new choppers :D

Janet's done it again! A beautiful shot of you and Bev - - now we're getting to see the REAL you - - Mrs. Chong....... :lol::lol:

So who's the Queen's representative here??? Would that be Nikki? Nikki, what have you been telling her about us?

I would think that Sillyville's Monarchal Representative is whoever the current Monarch is. Who in hell IS it right now....?....Did Patti in fact usurp the Silly it had been, whom I cannot presently remember? Was it Jess? Sarah? Crap..... :huh:

We never solved that two-page discrepancy...Actually, perhaps we should ask Queen Elizabeth II how she would handle the problem were it to transpire within the Windsor dynasty. We'll let her rule it. Nikki, could you drop a line to Liz and ask her what her course of action would be if two pages of her Royal Life were censored, and her life's dates were all moved back, and someone else consequently had rights to the throne...it's a toughie - - she may need a few days. :lol:

WOW!!!! Unbelievable . . . glad Sophie's been doing well with it. If you would have left them all out, it probably would have done wonders for her hockey career!!! Talk about intimidating!!

I hear you....intimidating for approaching hockey players. And potential boyfriends.

OK, tomorrow is the big day . . . I have to read my nomination letter at the big nurses luncheon . . . NOT big as in they all weigh over 250lbs but big as in it's suppose to be about 1000 people.

After 800 posts according to rumour, you can experience strange after effects. I don't think it will be itching burning or swelling symptoms, as to me that sounds far too much like gluten poisoning. It has to be something that strengthens the character, as to post that many posts means someone is quite tenacious and determined.

:lol: Yes, we are tenacious sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't Yeti Scat one of the new eye bronzing shades in the EM Summer Line?

:lol:

The BWAHAHAHA Triangle?

Don't mind me, just having fun with emoticons

OMG - love your emoticon triangle............AND Em's liver!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<saving emoticon space here - am too tired to get busted>

Well, since my cover has been blown . . . here is the real picture of me and Bev and Panera's. Thanks to Bev and Carla for keeping my secret all this time but since Will the cat who is apparently crapping in my yard is out of the bag,I guess there is no longer a reason to carry on with the ruse.

ohhhhhhh..........ma............gawwwwwwwd.............. :lol: :lol: now THAT is too funny!!!!!!!!!! Janet is a complete nut........

These are really scary looking things, harmless, bite just a wee bit, but I always do a double take when I see them.

Cathy

:o

a DOUBLE-TAKE?????????????????????? um.........that would give me nothing short of a heart attack, I assure you.........absolutely horrifying - biters or no - - just the way they LOOK - - <erase erase erase ERASE from brain>

OK - I shall stop boring you all now :lol: .....much washing of clothes to do!!!!!

boring???????????? not a'tall, you nitwit!!!!!!!!!! I LURVE hearing how Alan has viewed our world through his eyes! warmed the cockles o' me 'eart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Glad he lurved it.........

OK- on the brighter side I am fostering a wee love bug named Sadie (see new avatar). She is so sweet and she and Angus are madly in love! They kiss constantly. It's good as Kurt is leaving for New Orleans (Jazz Fest) on Wednesday for 6 days.

OMG - look at Sadie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ohhhhhhhhhhhhh can you post of photo of them kissing? so excited that Dingus has found love but - - - they canNOT be separated!!!!!!!!!! You MUST keep Sadie!!!!!!!

Emily - OMG - Sophie's collapse at school - - :o

Simply horrifying........and they did not call an ambulance? :huh: ridiculous......glad this saga is almost over for her, but what a shame.

Amanda - can you get soem of that lottery money for a silly reunion?

OMG sillies - - exhausting weekend - lots of piano and furniture moving (we borrowed a truck and trailer) and a big hike on Sunday in hot weather - barbecue Friday night at Kissey's - - Susie is KNACKERED. :huh: Thank Gawd, Kissey has left for Arizona today, back Thursday, and I can sleep and recover. Weezee is so tuckered out - nary a peep from her. :)

Met David's sister on Saturday, it was quite a good visit. All went well, I kept my tourette's under control and practiced my inside voice. :lol: :lol: We ate at a gluten-free bakery, and I have about $50 worth of their products, including four pizza crusts, in my freezer.

A bit nerve-shattering driving three hours home w/ an ORANGE piano on yer trailer (yes, they painted it orange-ish :blink: ), but we did it.

Last night, I met mini-Kissey. He played his computer death-game the whole time. Um, he's 13 - that's what they do. :lol: So - that was okay also.

Sillies - I forgot what else - - I am sooooooooooooooooo tired - - hot weekend here and even in the Bay Area and - - - I suspect I"m slightly dehydrated.

More later sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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
