How about litter boxes :rolleyes:;)

:lol: yes, Jess...you may have a lineup of 'em after tomorrow.....

Got a busy weekend going... Tonight, Luke's class is putting on a song and dance routine at the PTO fundraiser festival. Tomorrow he has a b-day party to go to, and Sunday Ezra has a b-day party to go to. Wish me luck!

Sounds great, Sarah! And YOU sound great....busy, in a wonderful way. Not rushing around with sick kids or filling yer own prescriptions. Terrific! :lol:

Bye Sillies! off to happy hour with my coworkers, we are celebrating early!!!! See you all much later tonight when I am on my new Dell!!!!

Jestgar Rising Star

I've pretty much decided that the next remodel will be to turn the carport into a sunroom. All cat related bathroom facilities will be moved out there.

This means delaying the kitchen remodel, but I think will be ultimately easier since I could move the washer dryer and fridge outside while the kitchen was being done (assuming I have any money with which to do the kitchen after the sunroom :( )

"When you have a big blister that's in a weightbearing area, you almost have to drain it," says Clare Starrett, D.P.M., a professor at the Foot and Ankle Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. "They can get so full they get like a balloon."

Oakely dokely...so pop it it is

Also, blisters that are likely to break on their own should be drained by you, our experts say. That way, you can control when and how the blister is opened, instead of leaving it to chance.

What??...like IN your new shoes AT a bbq.....no that's NOT GOOD (ew)

:unsure: scared..........pass the needle......

Patti - dates here are nearly always dusted with flour :angry:

Nighty-nite Pieghter -_- ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

:lol: excellent new spelling

Morning, Sillies!

Yesterday I looked out the back window where the two of them were running around, and Gus is standing there panting, eyes half-closed, and Elsie is dodging around him, nipping at his bum and chest. Then she manages to get his collar between her teeth (accidentally, I'm sure), plants her front feet and starts tudding madly..."C'mon, c'mon, new friend! Don't just stand there! Life is beautiful! Please run by my side with reckless abandon!!" Gus now notices me in the window, and stares, a combination of this :huh: and this <_< .

Well, Elsie did give up, and just stood there chewing on his collar.

:wub: warms the cockles o' me 'eart!

On the sunny side (hee hee), it's supposed to be a delightful weekend here--sunny, warmer, and no rain! B) We may see the new Indiana Jones movie :)

Patt-eigh - - some scenes were filmed in Phrezno! (look for any scenes at an airport) So - some excitement here. (yeah because nothing EVER goes on in this loser town :huh: )

Even the Dentist was psurprised (did I get it?)

:lol: Yes, you did!

I have a bbq to go to tomorrow (no rain PLEASE)- got me outfit sorted -

:blink: outfit sorted, for a barbecue? OMG - Nicola needs to spend some time in California. We would never think of sorting an outfit for a barbecue.......(unless it was yer company picnic er sumfin') We simply throw on a ratty tshirt, shorts (or comfy pants/jeans) and some flip-flops. :lol: Oh, unless you're some college-age hottie who has to impress the guys.......then more care is taken to ensure that your hair and boobs look good......

After breakfast, I let him open it, and while we're trying to figure out how it works-- he sprayed liquid candy right into my left eye. Omg, it burned! Actually it still burns a little.

Hopefully, that'll be the only injury of the day.

:lol: :lol: sorry to laugh......but may I remind you phine pholks of SArah's entry into sillyville? 'Twas a Tostito in the eye, and brilliant. :lol:

Part deux coming up........

Yup! Right now, I'm kind of wretchedly tried, and my thoughts about this weekend look something like this: :wacko: But you're right-- it's totally in a good way!

:lol: :lol: sorry to laugh......but may I remind you phine pholks of SArah's entry into sillyville? 'Twas a Tostito in the eye, and brilliant. :lol:

Did you know that Dole :angry: processes their dates in a facility that processes wheat?

I sure didn't since I've been snacking on them for the last week.

I can't believe I'm still playing the "what made me sick" game after all this time :blink:

For the love of Pete! :angry: (sorry PeOter--not you ;) )

Patti- POOPY PANTS!!!!!!!!! No more dates with dates. that is SO lame!

I am not sure if Dole does Craisins or not but those have made me feel sick when I would eat them....

Yes- Craisins are made by Ocean Spray. I've never had a problem with them.

How about litter boxes :rolleyes:;)

Oh DUDE- I am a litter box pro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol::unsure::blink:

Lordy, I'm tired! Been cleaning most of the day. A friend dropped by with her daughters. Her older daughter is 3 1/2, and Oh... mah... gah... She and Ezra have been in love since she was born, I swear. The cuteness that occurs when they're together is indescribable!

Speaking of Ezra... he had the off of school, and we ran into a convenience store after dropping Luke off at school. I told him he could pick out a small piece of candy, and he chose this tiny little spray bottle of liquid candy (sugar.) After breakfast, I let him open it, and while we're trying to figure out how it works-- he sprayed liquid candy right into my left eye. :blink: Omg, it burned! Actually it still burns a little. <_<

Hopefully, that'll be the only injury of the day.

Got a busy weekend going... Tonight, Luke's class is putting on a song and dance routine at the PTO fundraiser festival. Tomorrow he has a b-day party to go to, and Sunday Ezra has a b-day party to go to. Wish me luck!

Ezra and his little luv sound SO cute. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Ow on the liquid-candy-in-the-eyeball!!!!

And yes, good luck.

Hope y'all have a luverly weekend! And before you leave the office, you might want to reconsider Open Original Shared Link :lol: :lol:

OMG sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have survived my menstrual psychosis......'twas a VERY bad case this time. Truly Jekyll and Hyde. Now back to.........normal? :lol:

but quite accident-prone lately. Let me tell you about it:

Two days ago, SOOO violently windy here (LOVED IT!!) that my front door slammed shut, wif my middle finger in it. I now have a blackened, construction worker fingernail. Really lovely.

Then, a burn from the oven on my wrist. Also lovely. Combined w/ the poison oak scabs/red marks, I look slightly leprous.

So, yesterday morning, whilst watching the very early news around 6:30, these goofball locals are giving away a fascinating-looking exercise DVD to the first person who emails. I jump up, coffee in hand, but slip on a magazine on the floor. :ph34r: I knock into the chair and coffee sloshes everywhere......so there goes my free DVD.

But the worst of all..........

Last night, Kissey is here - he's on one couch and I'm on the other (very unusual for the conjoined Kisseys) and I jump up once again, glass of pink guava nectar and orange juice in hand (thank God 'twas not red wine). So, my living room couches are facing each other, w/ a huge coffee table in between - a U-shape configuration. So, whilst I am arising from the couch, I slip on yet another magazine (am currently going through a big magazine purge).....and a slow-motion but very dramatic fall ensues. My limbs are flailing, all a-kimber.....legs go out from under me......guava juice everywhere.......and I fall dramatically to the ground, landing on my tailbone.....but not before I bear the full brunt of the impact - my left breast lands on the corner of the coffee table...... yyyYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

:o :o :o

I can't even describe the pain to you..........caught my breath, landed on the floor, Kissey pulls the table away from me and rushes to my side.........so I am momentarily speechless from the pain......but within no less than 30 seconds I yell out (very Bree VandeKamp-like )- - "go get some rags!!!!!!!! OMG - there's juice all over my coffee table!!!!" :lol::blink:

and Kissey just says - - honey! - don't worry about that - you just need to sit here for a minute (he initially thought I broke my arm) :blink:

So - - today - the pain is still so intense - tail bone and breast and left rib area - body aches........but I am fortunate that nothing worse than that happened.

:huh:

Extreme klutz, here. :ph34r: I have heard that pre-menopausal women can be quite klutzy, is this true?

More later - - must eat sumfin' - - -

Dear God, Susie!!! YOU should get some safety glasses too! :blink: Just in case!!!

4,000 posts....I remember your first post. There was a big dust-up on the board going on and a moderator had quit in the midst of it all. She and I PM'd each other during it all and she asked me to "look out for Dingogirl" since you were new and looking for information. :rolleyes:

Ah, memories B)

Right eye is in intense pain . . . I need me a pirate patch. I loaned out a jacket about a week and a half ago and got it back yesterday. Twas a bit chilly today and I've been wearing it. It donned on me that she had obviously been wearing perfume and the odor/vapors are bothering my sinuses which in turn bothers my eyes and teeth (had an xray once at the dentist and he remarked how my sinuses sit right on a coule of main nerves for my teeth/jaw/whatever) . . . arrrrggghhh . . . have taken me some arrrrrdvil and lookin' for some relief soon.

Twas another long day at school . . . library volunteer today. I need to get me a job so I can actually get paid!!! But . . . I want to take off whenever I want, be home before the kids and make lots and lots of money. Anybody got any ideas??

Patti- POOPY PANTS!!!!!!!!!

Well, that just sounds like you're calling Patti names . . . :lol::lol:

Susie, it does indeed sound like you need to de-mag your house. A mojito will make those aches feel better.

Nikki, I think mojitos work on blisters, too.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      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.

      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
