Uh-oh!! Only 12(?) posts from a new Queen????

W/ all the royal confusion stemming of hijacked mullets, I'm recusing myself again. As last clearcut undisputed royalty, it'd seem like back-to-back.

Gotta give someone else a chance to rule!!!!

(Susie misses out on this edition of Royal Roulette?)

Mygawd.....page 899.....:excitedadrenlinface:

Where is Susie? We need to hear about her weekend....

Way to go Jack! Bet he'll have a fan club in no time Emily.

Jack gets the Advocacy Award for the Month. (bronze chin socks) :rolleyes: . Congratulations.

:lol::lol::lol:

Well, I know that Emily and Patti saw this under Emily's topic in publications . . . just wanted to make sure all the sillies saw it. I haven't seen her here lately, but apparently, Lisa is still following along!!

Good to hear the dizziness is fading.

Hope THAT trend continues. :)

I think Pseuzee might still be in the mountains - hence no shot at Queendom.

Patti, there you are.

How did the red chairs turn out?? :D

tom Contributor

The pressure!!!! The responsibility!!!! . . . I can't take it!!! . . . I don't want it!!!! (Did I tell you that they asked me to be vice pres of the PTO which means you are automatically Pres the next year? . . . turned that one down, too.) This is probably the last you'll hear of me until a Queen/King has been crowned!!!

Sillies- bad news to report. Remember when I told you about my coworker Susan and her CT Scan and her kidney....she has cancer....she broke it to me a few minutes ago....

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Sorry got kicked off....

She will probably not need chemo but they are going to take her kidney away....So she will be in the hospital and have surgery....such an emotional time and a scary time....

Please send her your prayers and thoughts...it would mean a lot to me.

I'm back from running errands, and it is so nice here that I'm sitting out on the deck (accompanied by four feline friends). :)

Ridgewalker Contributor

Amanda, so sorry to hear about your co-worker! :( Will be sending positive thoughts her way...

All hail King Peter the Oracle!

Hey... we should all have cool nick names like that when we get the crown.

The board is acting funny for me too.

So sorry about your friend's news Amanda, she will be in my thoughts for sure.

Sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon Peter :)

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Congrats Peter youre the new King!

tom Contributor

:( aw Amanda .. ..sorry about your coworker :(

But I must shift gears & hail the new King!!

Way to swoooooooop in Peter!

(I was sure it'd be a Queen :blink: )

That's right! (knocking myself on the side of the head)--Yes, the whole Kissey clan will love our Susie :D

Patti-hope youre feeling better....

Susie!!! Dying for details on the Kissey weekend at the cabin!

I'm feeling much better today Amanda--thanks! :) I'm with ya on eagerly awaiting the details of Susie's weekend ;)

How did the red chairs turn out?? :D

Gawd! :rolleyes: They are going to look so cute--but only one is completely done. They were black--and are taking numerous coats of the red paint--but it's gonna be so worth it. (there are 4 total)

What .. ..no Mad Dash to Ascension this time????

Countdown is 5???

Is it that time again already?????

Sillies- bad news to report. Remember when I told you about my coworker Susan and her CT Scan and her kidney....she has cancer....she broke it to me a few minutes ago....

Oh Amanda--I'm so sorry to hear this. I will send a prayer and lot of positive thought her way. I read in your next post how she will lose her kidney. I want you to know that my MIL lost one of her kidneys close to 20 years ago, and is still going strong at 89! She says one feels no different than 2, really. That always surprised me for some reason.

I'm back from running errands, and it is so nice here that I'm sitting out on the deck (accompanied by four feline friends). :)

Congratulations Peter--I see you're celebrating outdoors with your kitties :P

(I was sure it'd be a Queen :blink: )

Yeah--what are the odds? :lol:

Glorious weather on this 'May day' bank holiday (dunno why we call it 'bank' holiday)

Good to see you oot and aboot :D (a nod to our Canadian buddies) ;)

:huh: Oot & aboot???

Sounds like a nod to our Scottish friends .......wait :unsure:what Scottish friends???

Sorry got kicked off....

My thoughts are with her (and you) :)

Amanda, I am so sorry to hear about your coworker. But Patti's right - - living with a single kidney is done successfully by SO many people! My thoughts are with you guys......

I'm back from running errands, and it is so nice here that I'm sitting out on the deck (accompanied by four feline friends). :)

YAAAAYYYY!!! King Peter the Oracle....it has a stately, winning ring to it. And yes, did you ever swoooooop in here! A fellow Canuck on the throne for a while - - terrific. Peter, could you see about decreasing the GST by another per centage or two? And how about bringing our boys home from Afghanistan while you're at it?........Gee, this is a big job.... think I'll reconsider before scrambling for the flipover next time....

:lol::lol:

I have no doubt they are going to be the cutest little darndest chairs in all the land :lol:

I hear you on the red, did you put a coat of primer on top of the black? That might cut down the red coats to 2, but red is one of those colors where more than one coat is a must to get it right <_<

Glorious weather on this 'May day' bank holiday (dunno why we call it 'bank' holiday)

Hmmm, another one of life's little mysteries.

Is it because the banks are closed on this glorious May Day holiday?? That might be too easy a reason though......

Yes Emily, if you loved A Mighty Wind and Best In Show you must see For Your Consideration. Pretty much same cast, or core cast, same humor.

They are kind of poking fun at Hollywood, the movie making "business", celebrity...........it's just great!!

No.... well.... because that would have been the smart thing to do! :lol: I just dove right in with the paint! They just looked so serious before--now just darned cute :D

SILLEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!! Um, had to sleep until - get this - noon today to recover. :ph34r: Yes, the luxury of being single and childless. Don't tell Kissey though, he doesn't seem to have these recovery needs - up and at'em bright and early - makes me furious. :huh:

and all hail Oracle King Peter!!!!!!!!!!!! we have a man-king!!!!!!!! :lol:

a few things - but not much time here. I will be picked up in 2.5 hours for a dinner out, for Cinco de Mayo. Alas, we are going to a very American :huh: restaurant, w/ two other couples.

Janet, love your avatar. We could all use a little more cow bell in our lives

:lol: meant to comment on this also - look at Will Ferell's nutty expression - cracks me up

After the finish line, a horse broke 2 ankles and had to be put down. :(

:(:(:( I saw this late last night in Sunday's paper - had no idea about this - - threw the paper to the ground and could not continue reading. I am devastated over this.....

but good news on Em's tree and the hugging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Em - also LURVE your frame of smileys and your emoticon tree - - gawd - - but the Chortle Chain was best of all :lol:

and OMG! OMG! Jack's letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely phantastic........am sending the link to my "real" friends.........

.. ..wait! .. ..wait! . .. . ..ask 'er whether the chinfeet would ALSO require the cleats or suctiony sucker-thingies"

:lol: another sentence to puzzle and terrify the newbies

yawn- will sleep eat and watch movies. Wait- isn't that all I do anyway?

one day, that part of your life will all be over, and you'll be off-piste on the slopes........ :)

As soon as she puts it up on her blog, I'll post the link!

OMG - that cheesecake - - PURE EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

part two coming up

DingoGirl Enthusiast
I watched For Your Consideration on cable, it was hysterical. Same cast of actors and etc as Best In Show and A Mighty Wind.

OMG - haven't seen this one but Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman many times - - so freaking hilarious - will rent this one also.

Gotta give someone else a chance to rule!!!!

(Susie misses out on this edition of Royal Roulette?)

OMG, I've never been Queen - - must stay in town next time for an important turnover!!!!!!!!! I have GOT to win - - am goign to put it on my resume :lol:

Mygawd.....page 899.....:excitedadrenlinface:

Where is Susie? We need to hear about her weekend....

I"M back!!!!!!!!! Met nearly all of Kissey's kin........including 92-y-old grandmother and her BOYFRIEND - they could not have been cuter and more dapper, quite attractively dressed and coiffed also. They met in their retirement home.....she is the grandmother who owns the property.

I think the parents liked me - that was their report to David anyway. *phew* :)

we had such a blast - - but I am soooooooooooo tired. Four-hour drive, the last 45 on completely unpaved, deeply-rutted single-lane road......Annie fell flat on her face so many times on that drive. Poor little Boo. :lol: Eveyrthing in the car was topsy-turvy by the time we got in - David exclaims - "who did this to all the stuff?" Um........YOU did, whilst you were driving like a bat-out-of-hell, was our reply. :lol: Kissey believes that you take the horrible road as fast as you can, rather than slowly, likening it to ripping off a bandaid. Good thing I am in agreement on this.

LOVE yer spellin', Patti....That version of "Tom" just looks unpronounceable to me....

Foe-gaum?

:lol: :lol:

Foe-gaum! His new name!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I know that Emily and Patti saw this under Emily's topic in publications . . . just wanted to make sure all the sillies saw it. I haven't seen her here lately, but apparently, Lisa is still following along!!

OMG - an absolute scream, that Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: What must other people think, reading that.... *snort* :lol: :lol:

Sillies- bad news to report. Remember when I told you about my coworker Susan and her CT Scan and her kidney....she has cancer....she broke it to me a few minutes ago....

Amanda - so sorry about this. But, as others have said, it is quite possible to live well w/ one kidney - one of my best friends, Sophie, donated her kidney to her brother.......quite something.

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still in recovery from the weekend. And tonight we are out and tomorrow - a Michael Buble concert (about which I don't care a whit, but may still go).

I have poison oak covering my torso :blink: and on legs and arms.

Slept just a few hours in teh tent. Had a complete laughing attack w/ Kissey in tent that night - - apparently when we are in places where we must be quiet and behave, we fall apart. :lol: :lol:

Last Chance was paradise.......probably about 20 of us there, many kids, and friends helping w/ constuction, doing manly things w/ their chainsaws and generator-powered wood-chippers, splitters, and other things. Quite a special place, and there's talk of the property being sold. :( very sad for the Kissey family......

Okay................must try and be productive now.

BTW I am just out of my mind that The Ripper wanted to tell the sillies of his publishing feat before Grandma was told............what a hoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

back later

Yeah, Susie - - of course they did! :)

Now, more about this lovely female standard poodle I've been pining for...I have spoken with the owner, and boy, does this sound like a beautiful dog. DH is really not on board for another dog....so I'm gonna speak with him again. We'll see.....

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.  
    • asaT
      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
    • nanny marley
      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again 
    • trents
      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
