We eschew normality!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't fear Emily- I fear the quiet ones who lurk without posting under anonymity- oh wait- that's you Pieter :P:lol:

Caught again. :ph34r:

Look at my post count..........comin' up on FOUR THOUSAND........already two small incidents w/ fluid spills yesterday..........

Everybody take cover, but especially Psooooozee!

Ah! More forum intrigue......

Patti, what was the dust-up to which you allude? Fascinating....cloak and dagger tales....a moderator quitting, Susie's innocent yet probing questions.....

What does it mean?......................

Twas early in 2006. I recall it well, and miss Karen. She remained active for quite some time afterward, but hasn't posted since November.

The sun is shining and it is warm. A lovely day, and the rest of the weekend is expected to be similar.

Susie, take care of yourself.

We have two digital cameras, both Sonys. We're happy, but they are simple ones.

I used to be into photography, and have the equipment in 35 mm SLR style, but haven't used it in a long time.

Okay, I guess I'll be looking at a Sony. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to find something, anything, audio-visual or otherwise, that isn't made in China? Good luck...I'm afraid it just cannot be done 'round here. A camera, or a TV, or an inflatable mattress, or a wall frame, made in North America? Or at the very least, not in China? The search proves too long and exhausting.

Pardon my quasi-political rant. :ph34r: Perhaps subject matter that remains tabboo - - I jes' lost myself for a moment, there.....

OMG - *this* is my 4000th post................. :o

<hiding under tarps now :ph34r: >

um..........snowing lightly in the mountains here....does that count as fluid? I am SOOOOOO pleased w/ this cool, cloudy SPRING weather for the weekend!!!!!!! Even scattered showers!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

OMG - forgot to mention that three days ago, I slammed my HEEL in the door to garage, it is nicely bruised......

also - - in the windstorm - - my HUGE HUGE potato jasmine, which covered half my fence in back yard, was blown over, broke its supporting wooden ballasts, and has been laying on the ground ever since, covering half the back yard. I have been hacking away at it, so we can somehow get it back up tomorrow.....not sure how.

Many calamities abound here............

:unsure:

OMG - I want to edit my earlier post, because I said "legs a-kimber" instead of "akimbo" and......that is bothering me...... :lol: But - there is no EDIT button on my posts, as there usually is. what in hell? did Skaught take away me edit buttons? :huh:

and guess what else sillies...................also coinciding with my meritorious :lol: 4000th post, I am taking Weezee, in minutes, to have her anal glands squeezed.............. talk about FLUIDS of the most (h)anus variety!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I meant to answer this--yep, Skaught upgraded the board recently again and now we only have a small window of time to edit before the button disappears. Evidently, there were people who quit the board and went back and erased all of their posts, leaving odd gaps in the various threads.

One and the same, Em. I didn't mean to ignore your question...I kinda forgot :lol::ph34r:

Yes, Karen was a very kind and helpful person and phunny, too. The whole thing was so unfortunate--one of those threads that "went south" fast with a lot of arguing and bickering. She stepped down, at least one person was banned from the board..... Seems to me that that used to happen a lot more then than now--thank goodness.

I still see her reading once in a great while :)

ahhhh. . . I was wondering about that too. I hate when I see one of my typos (sometimes hard to tell with the way we spell on this thread) but last time I wasn't able to go back and fix it. I shall now post and then set the timer to see how long we've got!!!

All this talk of a past pissing-match/hissy-fit . . . just makes me curiouser and curiouser . . . any more details or a link or is it all gone now. (Oh, and just for the record, I did mean to say curiouser and have no desire to come back later to fix it. :lol:

Yes, the thread is long, long gone, and at least one member was banned and a few others were warned. Ugly, it was. Unfortunately, Karen got drawn into the flame war. Nuff said.

More to come on the promised story.

This is about an amazing thing that happened tonight.

As most of you know, Jacquie and I own a retail store that sells pet food and supplies. On Fridays, we have one of our part-time staff open, and we come in early afternoon and stay until closing, at 7:00 pm.

So, tonight, closing time comes around and I am closing out while Jacquie is tidying up. I'm counting the cash in the till. I work from the large bills down to the pennies. I get as far as counting the quarters, and a regular customer arrives at the door. We let them in, and they make a small cash purchase and leave. I resume counting. The dimes are next.

I grab the dimes out of the till and spread them on the counter to count. Immediately, one stands out among the rest. It is silver. I say to Jacquie, "that's a really old dime there." Until 1967, coins of 10 cents and more were actually made mostly of silver. In 1968, a nickel-copper alloy was substituted, since the value of the silver was more than the face value of the coin (in 1968!). Today, one of these coins is worth many times its face value for the silver content.

The coin is face-up on the counter. It is quite worn (click for a lousy picture). Another view.

Edit to add: I'll try to get some better pictures soon. Indoors with a limited digital camera and flash isn't perfect, but was all I could do tonight.

Canadian coins have a portrait of the current monarch on the obverse. I quickly notice that the portrait is not Queen Elizabeth II, but is of a male--a King. I think for a moment about King George VI, Elizabeth's father. But I quickly see that the king in the portrait has a crown on his head. The portrait of George VI is bareheaded. Ah, yes, George V, Elizabeth's grandfather had a crown on in his coinage portrait.

And then it hit me. OMG! The king on the dime is facing right!

Monarchs on Canadian coins alternate facing left and right. Elizabeth II faces right. Her father, George VI, faced left. Her uncle, Edward VIII would have faced right, but since his reign was less than a year, no coins were ever produced with his image. George V, Elizabeth's grandfather, faced left.

The king on the coin is Open Original Shared Link, eldest son of Queen Victoria (whose birthday is tomorrow). This is a very old coin.

You can just make out the start of the name Edward. Only the two letters Ed are legible. But on the reverse you can read "10 Cents Canada 1907." Another bad picture here.

So a king from long ago visits me in the form of a coin more than one hundred years old. It must be a sign, but I don't know of what. I am sending some of the positive energy to Phrezno to aid Psoozee.

A truly remarkable event, n'est-ce pas?

COOL BEANS, Peaghter. Is it worth enough to pull together the psilly psummit and fly in Psoozie and Htaum?

FYI the Edit button lasts for longer than 10 minutes but less than 90 minutes . . . sorry, just couldn't sit there and watch it the whole time, I had to go and read about some prospective landscaping options.

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.

I think they work on everything. ;)

Hmmm....perhaps not so strange.....isn't honey really bee wee? :huh::lol:

WHAT?! Are you serious? :ph34r:

Peter! Perhaps you don't feel at liberty to say...I'm just wondering if you're referring to Canadian Karen. I loved reading her posts...she was so helpful, genuine and PHUNNY. Make a good Silly, me suspects.....

Speaking of dog fluids, Lilo went into heat today. SIGH.... She is not easy to deal with when she's in heat. Well, I guess no dog is.

Ok... I've been avoiding asking about this, but WTH is up with the anal glands? I missed that convo, and I've been afraid to ask. :ph34r: I don't wanna deal with anal glands.

Oh yeah. It was worth ten cents a hundred years ago. It is worth at least ten times that today, which is a whole Canadian Dollar, or 1.0119 US as of today's close. Gas is 1.259 a litre today where I live. I can travel about 7 km (4.3 miles). Hmm. Philadelphia is about 500 miles away. I need to find a lot more lucky dimes. :(

:) Truly phabulous! What a serendipitious event.........what does it mean?????? :unsure: I'll take yer positive thoughts.....I am scairt to walk around w/ liquids......or phrankly, to just walk around, period.... :huh::lol:

But what a cool find!!!!

Here is something......my dad had a decent coin collection, which I ended up with with which I ended up, after his death. I never told anyone in my family, until years later - that I sold half the collection to pay for about half of my Stinker's chemotherapy........my dad would have been so pleased with this. :) Years later, I sold on ebay an Abraham Lincoln campaign button (a Gault campaign button, to be specific, somewhat rare) for close to $300. Not bad!

COOL BEANS, Peaghter. Is it worth enough to pull together the psilly psummit and fly in Psoozie and Htaum?

:lol: Yes, this thought did cross through my mind.....but....unless it's worth millions, I don't think we're going.......and SO JEALOUS of all you sillies, getting together!!!!!!! :(:) ( <----mixed emotions)

:o What? this marvelous relic is only worth a dollar??????? that ain't right...... <_<

My poor Kissey is so out of sorts...... :( I'm letting him do his thing......he's content to just be here, on the couch, brooding slightly. He's "in his cave" and happy that I"m letting him do taht. A good night's sleep, and all will be better. ;)

back to magazine sorting and tossing...........but not to worry, there are no piles on the floor, sillies. :P

      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.
