But we're fine.

Very relieved to hear that, Sarah! We saw some of it on the news early this morning--very scary.

Glad you had a good day yesterday :D

Wow, Sarah! :o

We usually get your tornado/hurricane news quite promptly up here, but I heard nothing of it this morning - - I'm so glad that you guys and your property are okay.

Janet's in Indiana, I think...just a couple of states from you, and we haven't heard from her in a few days. Hope everything is okay there....Which states were hit?

North Carolina and Virginia were both hit really hard last night. We've been watching the coverage, both local and on MSNBC, and I cannot believe how freaking lucky we are. There were two tornadoes on either side of us, one really close, but we got missed. :blink: If anyone watches MSNBC, when they show the aerial footage of Greensboro, that's the section that Brian's building is in. They're just now letting a few building owners into the area.

Yeah, I miss Janet-- where did she go?!

Neither one can be allowed to achieve alpha-dog position. At all times, the alpha-dog must be a sentient biped. You are the clear first choice for this role. If you can dominate the quadrupeds in the house, you may eventually be able to dominate the other bipeds. :ph34r:

:lol: :lol: sentient biped - - that cracked me up!!!!!!! <um, there IS no sentient biped around here :huh: >

Don't Just Cover Up Bad Odors. Get Ptauoghm! <I don't think I like the sound of that>

Gads! Tornadoes! How scary. So much power and destruction with no control (kinda like adding a new animal into your existing complement :P ).

Alpha biped! Not in my house.

Sarah, happy late birthday!! Glad you all are OK!!

Janet's in Indiana, I think...just a couple of states from you, and we haven't heard from her in a few days. Hope everything is okay there...

Yes, everything is OK here. Just lots going on . . . lots of dr appts for the kids . . . everything is OK there, too, just plugging along trying to figger out my son's growth issues. I saw a therapist yesterday. My son will start seeing him to help him deal with his anxiety over medical procedures. If he doesn't start packing on some weight soon, they'll start the elimination testing (to make sure it's not <fill in the blank>) to clear him to go on the human growth hormone. Hopefully, the therapist will teach him some relaxation/calming/coping skills.

But the real mess going on right now is at our elementary school . . . big fight with the school board . . . totally useless principal . . . PTO president is fed up and quit . . . lots and lots of meetings and highly emotional emailing.

Love all the new avs . . . I don't think Mr Chow and I look alike at all!!!

My daughter got in trouble at school this week for whining. I asked her what she was whining about and she answered . . . "We were suppose to be writing nice things about our moms and I couldn't think of anything!" . . . :huh:. . . :o . . . <_< . . . :lol:

Then, last night I made fried chicken for supper. We probably should have had baked chicken but my son likes fried chicken better and I just want him to EAT!!! So the whole meal he kept complaining that the chicken "didn't taste too good" . . . "something was wrong with it." After about a half a dozen of comments like those, Hubby told him to give it a rest. I'm reaaaalllllly looking forward to this mother's day.

OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!! :lol: Omg, that's so cold, you gotta laugh. Sounds like something Ezra would say. :rolleyes:

I have to admit, I am surprised that your son didn't have a growth spurt after going gluten-free. I really thought he would. Keep us updated!

Yes....could be rather tornado-like in this house over the next weeks.....

...Where to put that bloody second dog bed? There is room in the bathtub.... <_<

Yes, everything is OK here. Just lots going on . . .

Hey! Janet's here....with a full plate! Heinous school issues, DS's growth curve - - that's just yucky. At least there's lots of action in the medical community, trying to figger out why your little guy isn't thriving. Has he been gluten-free long enough for the diet to be considered ineffective? You must keep us in the loop!

Heading off right now to take MY DS to an allergist...Jack's had chronic congestion for a million years, off and on, but mostly on. Doesn't seem to correspond with anything seasonal. He's had negative allergy tests to everything enviornmental and all foodstuffs. So, hopefully this specialist will shed some light. I'm SO TIRED of hearing him sniffle and snort....and I believe his teachers are, as well.... :rolleyes:

. . . in the dryer? . . . would be nice and cozy warm in there!!

He is actually no longer gluten free. He was gluten-free for about 7 months. His growth rate actually slowed down during the diet (he is a major bread-aholic). He did not compensate for the bread calories removed. He just did without (with a fair amount of complaining). I think the GI was the most dissappointed. That was a hey-nus appt though. The GI's what-all-possible-things-that-could-be-wrong-but-shouldn't-say-out-loud-because-it-is-sooooo-unlikely-and-it-will-freak-out-the-parents filter was not working.

I'm SO TIRED of hearing him sniffle and snort....and I believe his teachers are, as well.... :rolleyes:

Can't stand this sound!!! I am likely to scream from the other side of the house . . . BLOW YOUR NOSE!!!!!

Sarah, please tell me that the dog in your av has had those puppies!!!! OMGAWD!!!! That poor dog!!! It doesn't look like she could even walk in that condition!!

:lol: That pic is actually from last year. She is pregnant again right now and due in a few weeks. The pic in my av was taken just a couple days before she gave birth, and yeah she couldn't walk much at that point. Her belly dragged the ground. :o My friend is a small breeder, and she dotes on that dog like you wouldn't believe. Don't worry :lol: she gets carried everywhere toward the end of her pregnancies!

I should go get a pic of her when she's not pregnant, so you guys can see how pretty she is!

From my BIL . . .

When I say I'm broke, I AM BROKE

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be

confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man..

"If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to

demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I'm broke and haven't got any

money!" and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and

pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen

my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway

carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse

manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork,

'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

It's posts. Fifteen to a page, I believe. Ptaoughmn's the one who knows all this stuff - - the guy who's sweeter than a caress.... :lol::lol:

So, how do we get Rachel into Sillyville to ramp up our page numbers? Is she very Silly? does she have photogenic neighboUrs?

I should go get a pic of her when she's not pregnant, so you guys can see how pretty she is!

OMG....

You think that little dog transforms when pregnant....I was SO scary as a pregnant woman...((((shudder))).....huge, hair falling out, dark circles....I'll be sure to put one of them pics up......Gaaaaaaaahhhhh....................

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork,

'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

Travelling vacuum-cleaner salesmen...gotta luv 'em. Where are they all now? They seem to be an extinct breed. Anybody have one come to their door in the last...thirty years?

smiley-con per post......make it a goal, a campaign for 2008 <coinciding w/ electoral year) to have each member complete something like........10 pages per day. :lol: In all yer spare time.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
