I was an educational assistant at our local high school in New Jersey....I absolutely loved working with the high school kids--if I had it to do over, I would have become a guidance counselor. :)

Same here....although sometimes I feel like one anyway. I got the most wonderful note from a student the other day. She had gotten a Red Star award for being "most improved student". She gave me her red star and wrote that it would not have been possible if it weren't for all I have done for her and that I should keep the note forever so I will always remember how much I mean to her.<<<lipquiveringeyeswellingup>>>>She addressed it to Dear Mom (she sometimes calls me that)

OMG - what is the current acceptable answer for "what is your biggest weakness??????" Can I say.....staying in my pj's too long? Eating too many nuggets? Mowing my lawn every 10 days to two weeks instead of every week, like all of my Stepford neighbors? Trapping cars that try to tailgate and pass? spending too much time with me sillies?

:lol:

Oliver, the giant ginger tabby seen in two of the pictures I shared, may have some Maine Coon in him.

Like all of our cats, he is a rescue, so we don't know his background. He has been with us since October of 1996. He is 30 inches long and weighs 22 pounds. He is gentle and sometimes follows us around.

Becky, the brown tabby that you have seen from time to time in my avatar, probably also has Maine Coon in her. The consensus seems to be that one of her parents was a Maine Coon. She was rescued as a stray in 2000 at the age of two.

Laura must join the party!

*sniff* that is soooooooooooo sweet! :)

Last year I got a note from a girl that said, "Thanks for helping me become a better person". Things like that remind me why I'm there.....becaus for every one you are able to reach out to, there are a gazillion hormonal freakazoids that you couldn't get across to if you hit them with a baseball bat!! :huh::lol::lol: ( I really do love my job! :P )

OOH!....reminds me of a story.....

Two years ago, near the end of the school year, I read some poems written by a boy for a class assignment and thought they were awesome...so I asked him if I could copy them.

A couple days later he brings me a notebook and asks if I wanted to read some more of his poems.

I read them and thanked him for sharing them with me. ( Many were dark and disturbing, but yet very well written) and I expressed my concern.

I got a long note from him explaining how he no longer feels that way and how thrilled he was that I enjoyed his poetry and that he'd never shared them with anyone before.

He was an 8th grader at the time and moving on to HS.

Over the summer he e-mailed me often, talking about problems with friends, parents, and eventually that he realized that he was homosexual (which I already figured out)

I always gave him parental-type advice in a way that I thought he would listen.

....Then he met someone and proceeded to tell me about this first encounter with another boy....Tongue and all!!!! :o TMI!!!! :o:o:o

Worse, she probably spent a lot more time than we were originally led to believe inside her crate. :(:angry: So, all this activity, including the long romps in our backyard with Gus, may be a big shock to her system. I'm just not sure......

Let's hope that this is the case and she just needs to build up her leg muscles a little :)

I just sent my resume to the gal. I may vomit. :huh:

Gosh, I know that feeling. It's going to work out fine, Susie--you don't have to do anything you're not ready for ;) And there's no shame in that :)

Yes . . . I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass also . . . It' just a quick 11 hour drive :P . . . but, you know, price of gas and all that . . .

Em - here's hopin it's something simple . . . just some over training or such . . . needs to warm up, stretch more . . . perhaps she should start off with some Yoga . . . I bet she'd be good at downward facing dog.

Morning, All!!

The Philly Silly Psummit....I am getting SO excited about this. I was thinking about it late into the night...

Last year I got a note from a girl that said, "Thanks for helping me become a better person". Things like that remind me why I'm there.....becaus for every one you are able to reach out to, there are a gazillion hormonal freakazoids that you couldn't get across to if you hit them with a baseball bat!! :huh::lol::lol: ( I really do love my job! :P )

Lisa, you must be terrific at what you do...One must be, to illicit these kinds of responses and interactions with even the most open of teenagers. Those kids are lucky to have you!

Now, my diplomat students....SIGH....dunno what they'd say if asked whether or not they felt lucky to have ME. :lol: Tell ya one thing, however - - their responses would be completely free of all misplaced modifiers and dangling participles. I hope. <_<

Sorry sillies....I can't get on the Philly bandwagon :( ......I absolutely detest car trips!

Lisa!! How long a drive is it? Are you as far from Philly as Janet is? You could come together, and take driving shifts, and entertain each other so that the time just whips by!

OMG!!!! They're ALL going to Silladelphia!!!! :D:blink:

[Edit oh .. ..not ALL]

Ptaoughmnhgmn!!!

Hmmmmmmm....how do we get you there.....

We'll have to think of somefin' for you and Susie....

Em - here's hopin it's something simple . . . just some over training or such . . . needs to warm up, stretch more . . . perhaps she should start off with some Yoga . . . I bet she'd be good at downward facing dog.

Yes! Or pilates, to strengthen her doggy core... :rolleyes:

I'll find out this afternoon.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @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.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
