. .. and then whether the people who use sign language see little hands in their head when they think about what somebody said, or do they hear the words in their heads?

:lol:

GAH!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!...the OMG thread 2 summers ago??? :unsure:

:( wish i'd been there. Read some last yr tho!! PhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNNY!!!!

Phautauoumgmn!!!

:lol: :lol: THAT's gotta be a record!!!!!

The Crown of Superfluousity goes to thee!!

(Actually it's probably 3 or 4 nested crowns where one would suffice)

:blink: what in hell?????????????? a baked dingo brain is beyond miserable

:huh: :huh:

I couldn't beLIEVE I got this so wrong, so I searched <_<

It's just that, I think I become slightly delirious and more - approachable, maybe? -

with an overcooked and wilted brain. Also maybe more giggly.

Wait. that isn't true. I"m always giggly. Does the baked brain make one GIDDY? :P

:lol: I guess I extrapolated too much from this.

NO DAMMIT!! I *swear* there was more on the plusses of a baked brain from you while I was hating ALL aspects of the Phoenix heat!

<confuzzled now>

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well.

And effective as in still remarkably pain-free??

I always find this interesting . . . if I had to eat the same food everyday, would I be overweight? We always free-fed my dog Maggie. She always stayed the same weight. My vet complimented me on keeping her at her ideal weight. I told her that we free feed and she told me "Never mind" then she turned to Maggie and gave her a good neck rub and talked to her in a dog voice and complimented Her on keeping herself at her ideal weight. Now, Josie is a different story, she would just keep eating, even though it's the exact same thing every day. I have a feeling I'm a Josie and not a Maggie.

My guess is, if you were eating the same food as Josie, you would happily self-limit.

Even more pain-free. Far more motivating than something silly, like avoiding a heart attack or fitting into a size 2 (OK, not even my skeleton would fit into a size two, but you get the picture).

OMG - I have to go pick up a few things at Walmart - - and I am soooooooo askeert of what sorts of Hershey's products I'll come home with......haven't had nuggets in at least a month.......could easily eat a whole bag today.......

:blink:Nuggets

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well. Have had a few breakdowns wherein I just couldn't stand it any more and ate some fruit (warning for TV munchers- don't choose a bag of prunes as your mindless eating companion :ph34r: ) but mostly I've been good. Just finished my mid-afternoon snack of a bell pepper.

Good job Jess :D

My Edna is also rolling along nicely, but there have been those moments where I'd rather just not eat than have something "allowed" again. I hear ya on that.

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly. It's funny because I was never much for fruit--it always upset my stomach (or so I thought) so I got out of the habit of eating it. Now, I'm discovering fruit all over again. :)

I'm losing a little weight and the clothes are fitting looser-- blood pressure is also responding so I'm on the right track. I do firmly believe that my body does. not. like. grains. Any grains, really and truly. For me and my issues, the grain free diet (and very low sodium) seem to be the ticket :D

Gawd--that was more than ya'll wanted to know but once I got rolling........ :lol:

Good for you too Patti :D

The nectarines sound yummy!

My edna has been in the crapper :ph34r: I have been eating whatever until I got my allergy test results back......which I just learned no gluten for sure, no gliadin containing grains, NOT even rice. So there will be no grains for me either :(

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there :D

Kudos on the exercise!! That's where I always fall short :ph34r:

Sorry about the grains, but honestly I feel better in so many ways without them.

She seems to be all legs. Does that fit with the rest of your family? Does she prefer wine-sicles to the more conventional way of consuming it?

:lol:

Should have jammed a big stick in that wine bottle.....one mega-dreamsicle.....

Elsie does indeed look like a baby deer. All legs, in every direction. :rolleyes::lol:

There's ELSIE!!!!!! Looking very content w/ a touch of "where's my HAIR?!!

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly.

D'oh! I was thinking TANgerines at first!! :wacko:

The first poodle that my mom and dad ever had always hid under the sofa for a couple of days after a scalping hair-cut

Heheheheheehee :lol: :lol: that sounds like ME as a little kid!!!! Mom was giving us buzzcuts but I wanted hippie-hair! :D:lol:

I think I won out by 2nd or 3rd grade, but before that didn't want to go out to play for a couple days after a haircut!!

<kids!>

Actually, we still haven't decided how on earth glue keeps from sticking to the inside of that bottle.....is it due to a TLR signal, Jess? :rolleyes:

To me the REAL mystery is wth they're thinking in a movie when a very visible beaker contains an alleged invisibility potion :blink:

:lol: Jess said wine-sicles

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there :D

Yeah! Way to go! :)

Good times, very good times

:lol: forgot to comment on this earlier............and yeah, that does about sum it up.....also dingos and auxigro-detecting geese protecting our cult-town-by-the-sea :lol:

I also find it curious that I times I know I could plow through an entire bag of chips, but couldn't possibly put one more nut in my mouth. Interesting to ponder if these are emotional eating cues, or preservative-enhanced eating cues.

:ph34r: very timely that you should mention this, Jess, as I have just returned from Walmart nugget-less, but with a half-eaten bag of barbecue potato chips. Why half-eaten, you ask? because that's what happened on the way home....................oyyyyyyyyyyyy.............help me...............and I'm having a Kissey-less night so - who's goign to stop me???????????????????? :ph34r::ph34r:

Such good news, Patti!! :)

Now, Josie is a different story, she would just keep eating, even though it's the exact same thing every day. I have a feeling I'm a Josie and not a Maggie.

I don't understand dogs and their weight issues.......Weezee is on such a limited-quantity diet, and yet she is a big, fat, potato spud. :huh: Of course, she does have her hobbies, which include ravaging anything she can reach in the recycle bin, or snacks accidentally left around.......

You know, she has no interest in a bed. So funny.....she stretches out on the hardwood floor, and sighs contentedly. I think she's just so happy to be out of a crate...she was in one all night at her old home, and whenever she was alone in the house. There is absolutely NO need for this...she doesn't chew anything, she is totally house trained....

....And she's very thin. No Edna for this girl.....

:) SOOOOOOOOOOO happy she's with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at her, she looks serene, relieved, relaxed, refreshed, and very, very leggy. :lol: She must be the happiest thing alive......................yay! :)

Oh....all is so GOOD in Sillyville! Julie's gotten onto her treadmill, Patti and Jess are responding positively to their Ednas, Susie's got some chips, Ptaoughmn's haircut no longer finds him hiding under the dining room table.....all good.

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

Just the opposite of my DD, Briana. By age 5 she had long, thick, beautiful hair. But she was always bugging me to cut it short :( I would only cut a little and soon she'd be bugging me to cut more and more off. It wasn't until she was grown that she confessed to me that she would intentionally move while I was cutting so it would end up crooked and I would have to cut more to even it out <_<

She is Tuppence. We rescued her six years ago when she was 12 weeks old. I may be the king here in Sillyville, but at our house the cats rule. The males are 12 and 10 and are pretty relaxed. Tuppence is very demanding, and competes with three-year-old Riley for the role of Queen. Then there are two more females that live at our store.

The census by species:

Humans: 2

Cats: 6

Fish (Betta): 1

And, yes, you can be sure that Tuppence is watching. B)

Well, I did. It is a small lot, four spaces in all, perpendicular to the front wall. Five lines to paint using a roller on a long handle. The whole exercise, including watching it dry, took less than two hours.

It is a step in the right direction, and certainly less fuss than an overflowing toilet.

I probably should have used this quote, in case I confused anyone :blink:

Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

Well, early mornings are quiet. We started at 9:00 and all the paint was laid out by 10:30. I did watch for it to dry as I worked my way across the lot, moving the pylons, to make sure that at least two of the four spaces were usable at all times. The paint is specific for the purpose, and is touch dry in less than 30 minutes. It is latex based too, so cleaning up is a breeze.

Perfect!!

A little late, ~ post 116. Little muss/fuss - I like Janet's idea. Better to rig a minor fluid mishap than leave it to the Fates.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      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

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
