Don't forget--you're never really alone, you always have us :D

:D

:ph34r: maybe that's worse than being alone :ph34r:

banish the thought!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish you truly WERE all here......we could take turns shampooing....throw tomatoes at each other's heads.........shriek above the din of the evil machine, take turns making mojitos and dancing around.........make someone cook us gluten-free delights, have someone else rub Gnik's tired pheet :lol: <MOJITO??????????????? :o OMG - not a bad idea - could make this more fun>

Pretty much just the Edna. It's been about 5 weeks--I went to the doctor last week (a month since my last visit) and I had lost 11 pounds. (!)

No formal Sven, but I've been pretty physically active with painting, working outside, that kind of stuff. I really do need to start Svenning, though. There's a point at which the weight loss is gonna stop or slow considerably if I don't. <_<

:lol: Quite confusing to newbies, these terms

OMGawd Emily--I remember Sven and Helga from "Another World" :lol:

My mom used to watch that show, and it was on when I would get home from school. I got hooked on it then, and watched or kept up with it over the years.....stopped a year or so before it finally went off the air.

:lol::lol::lol:

That's exactly my story, Patti!! I'd get home from school and my mom would have it on. Sometimes I'd have a raft of friends over, and we'd sit with my mom and hoot and screech at Sven, laughing hysterically at his contrived evilness......

This has been happening wayyyyyyy too much lately - and I know why. It's beause I'm in a relationship, and want to be more normal, impose less inconvenience. :( Can't do this......have to be quite strict again - not just eat the sausage w/ natural flavors because - it's there and I"m hungry and don't want to be a bother.

Susie! You'll be back to yer silly self toot sweet, I know it! There actually is a very bright side to this.. .. ..you know exactly why you've been miserable. Fixing it, of course, isn't easy, but at least you know what to do! :):)

And you have a wonderful guy, waiting forever and patiently, for his happy Susie..... ;):)

It has become rather quiet here, after a surge of activity.

Our new Queen has set a new Standard, but are they Princess Elsie and Prince Gus? And where would that leave the ripper? Is he HRH Crown Prince Jack the Ripper?

One theory about the original Jack the Ripper identifies him as Open Original Shared Link, grandson of Queen Victoria and eldest son of Edward VII. He predeceased his father and grandmother without issue, and his younger brother ascended the throne as George V.

A royal ripper? OMG, what would that mean.

I have been since the very first episode. They film it it in a town not too far from here, and we drove down to see the set. It was very cool. I think this show is so phunnie becasue it SO true to life not only here in SK but in most of small town anywhere.

Busy week, and I just got caught up and am glad to know that 0% is a good thing :)

It has finally stopped raining here, but it is so foggy this morning that I can barely see across the back alley. :( Well, I suppose I should get off my backside and get going...have to go buy someone her first bike. (I can't believe my dd turns 4 this Sunday. Where does the time go?)

OMG Sillies.....is there not a general rule in the workplace that somethings are never discussed????? Such as Politics and Wages????? Alright...yesterday the woman who sits next to me...and I love her to death. Well she got mad at the girl who I always used to butt heads with. Anyway in the conversation this woman asks me....well who does she think she is my boss??? Isn't my job title higher than hers? Now the woman talking is in a secratrial role....probably spelled that wrong but oh well. The girl she is referring to has the same job i do. SO I kinda shook my head and told her well I don't think it is higher than yours. The next words out of her mouth.... I know I get paid more than she does......I knew this would go no where good. She looks at me and says I am making 18 an hour. My jaw hit the floor. I was instantly raged. She does nothing all day, chats on the phone to family and friends, Bses....and she is making almost 4 bucks more and my job is constant work.....She must notice my face and says dont worry I was hired in @ 17.... like that makes it any better.

So she told both me and another girl who work the same job what she makes....we both make around the same thing. So we did some investigating, she was not lying about her wages either. We are Phissed! This is why these things should never get discussed......

But thefact that our jobs are more complex require more training, and more everything is what gets us mad. All she does is schedule meetings and type up meeting minutes......

Suggestions?

I understand why you're upset about that. It seems very unfair! Is it possible that you have a better benefits package than she does which accounts for her higher wage? Or does she hold a union job and you don't? If you're unionized you might have a case concerning parity. If your job provides as much or more to the company than that girl's job does than you should be getting paid as much as she is. You must be very frustrated over this -- I hope you can get an explanation.

The guy who DJ'd our wedding is a good friend of Ryan's and yesterday he dropped off a late wedding present for us. It was a Pewter C D case with our names and wedding date engraved and then he made up C Ds with all of the songs he played at our wedding to put in it. It's a very neat keepsake!

Wow Alex-very cool keepsake. We got our wedding DVD last weekend, boy was it nice to watch. I got to see all the things that I missed while in my bride fog.

As for your first few questions.....no union jobs and we all get the same benefits through the hospital.

Suggestions?

Jeez, Amanda.. .. .how frustrating. That is really a tough one. I think, in light of this new information that got dropped in your lap, you should ask for a salary review, because you are obviously being underpaid, at least when compared to this $18 woman. You needed to have more training, your job is more complex, there's generally more to do....You could go to the powers-that-be as a united front with the other worker that has the same position as you. Something's very wrong, there, and it's likely never been brought up or even noticed at the higher level.....

Just crazy.

Since I typed my first message....her cell phone has range 10 times...each one consisted of a 5 minute conversation......ugh! I don't mean to be a snich or anything but jeez!

The 2 other girls who share my job who knew about the pay thing have researched this morning, we found job openings at Hospitals in Pitt and Philly and compared salaries of our job title....turns out ours is lower than other hospitals....

She makes some dumb mistakes too...lets just say her happy meal sometimes comes missing the toy....

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting

time the boy should give some thought to choosing a

profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really

know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned

about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, his

father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's

room and placed on his study table four objects.

1. A bible.

2. A silver dollar.

3. A bottle of whisky.

4. And a Playboy magazine.

"I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to

himself. "When he comes home from school today, I'll see

which object he picks up.

"If it's the bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and

what a blessing that would be!

If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man,

and that would be okay, too.

But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken

bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be.

And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going

to be a skirt-chasing womanizer."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-

steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his

room.

The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave

the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity

in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm.

He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket.

He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired

this month's centerfold.

"Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered.

"He's gonna run for Congress."

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      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.

      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 .
