Aw Em, the blood sugar spikage sounds lousy, too It's interesting that you don't get the bad GI stuff--but I'm glad you don't It must be so hard to juggle the gluten-free and diabetic diets--Gawd and the injections.....you've got your hands full too, Missy

Yes! I think an edict is in order for us all! We need our systems to quiet the hell down--that's not too big a request, is it?

[jerseyangel]

Ok, so early this morning I put a chuck roast in the crock pot thinking I won't have to heat up the oven (and the kitchen) later.

I went about my business and evidently forgot all about it because after I took a shower just now, I thought--what smells so good? One of the neighbors must be cooking outside

Then it hit me--it's your own dinner cooking, you idiot!

Where IS everybody? I'm babling here all alone

[elye]

Just for the record, that topic is infinitely more interesting than the thesis I actually wrote. Where were you all when I had to write the darned thing?!!!!

Oh, tell me, tell me! What did you write about, Laura?

What a terrific pic of you, by the way!

Yes! I think an edict is in order for us all! We need our systems to quiet the hell down--that's not too big a request, is it?

I Shall Proclaimeth Such. Effective Immediatement.

Yes, where in hell is everyone the last couple of days? This could be a long reign....C'mon, everybody - - you do NOT want ME to be the monarch any longer than necessary, trust me... .. .

[Mtndog]

Hewwo Siliies- gah- I think I got funny in me but I'm so tired I can't find it! Woke up today at 6:30 and took a morning nap from 9:30-11:30. Would someone PLLEAAAZZZEEEE explain to me how it's going to go from build-an-ark weather to 90 degrees on saturday? GAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Psuezeee- I hope this heinous glutamination stops whamming you on the head!!!!!!!!!!!!! POOPY COW and BALLCOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Means I've been sucked into the vortex!

Laurea- You look GORGEOUS and may I say HEALTHY for someone who has been sucked into anything!!!!!!

I'm here!!! Last day of school, today.

BTW....excessive onslaught of environmental fluids here in INdy, also.......sitting tight here in tornado alley

No more students, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks!!!!!!! :P

Tornado Alley? :ph34r: You be safe!

Actually working

I've discovered that there is a distinct downside to only allowing a hunter-cat access to your bedroom _eeewwwww

[tom]

Ptaoughmnhmn! You and Susie can tighten things up togethah!

Well, mine's a lot easier methinks - not a lifestyle change. I'm still way too scared of gluten to take any chances there.

This has been happening wayyyyyyy too much lately - and I know why. It's because I'm in a relationship, and want to be more normal, impose less inconvenience.

Somehow I feel like I know what this is like, but I really can't figure out why I'd think that.

Maybe it's just that I've imagined it, wanted it, wondered what a pain it'll be when dating.

Right now I just have to go back to foregoing a few things which seem "tolerable" on occasion, but which are most likely detrimental even in small, once-a-week doses.

Boy did I ever want popcorn to be ok. Kinda fun making it the old-fashioned way, on the stovetop but w/ a glass lid. Quite fireworky.

Oh, tell me, tell me! What did you write about, Laura?

What a terrific pic of you, by the way!

Yeah, I was gonna say both of these things.

Thesis related to Education I think?

And now, in a true test of self-alleged summoning powers . ..

SAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-

RAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!?

Ohgawd... ....Jess, what were you left? A bird's head? Mouse intestines?

Last week Elsie came inside from the backyard holding onto something of fair size... ..Will pulled it out of her mouth (I was NOT there, thankfully) and found himself holding the bottom half of a good-sized bird - -legs and lower trunk. EEEEWWWW.....obviously left by one of our cats, and Elsie thought it was quite wondrous....... .. ..

--GREEN GUY--

[Jestgar]

The non-edible bits of a bird were left on my bedroom floor (fortunately). Second time in a week. This is the most vacuumed my floor has ever been.

[DingoGirl]

I'm in the same boat--still am not normal since the date/creamer incidents a couple weeks ago. Susie, my anxiety always takes a lot longer than the intestinal stuff.....hopefully the Welbutrin will give your anxiety a gentle shove and get you back on an even keel.

Patti - that was heinous, yer dates and creamer incident.

Well, pholks, today's Thursday, and it's been a very pure week for me, diet-wise. I awoke today feeling clear-headed, better, far less anxious. Alas, before I start thinking I'm all better.....cautiously taking a wait-and-see approach.

Also - it IS Thursday.......nearing the weekend which is when I always start feeling better - less pressure for job search etc.

You bet, and I can tell you how I've been Phluidally Aphected: With two dogs now that play constantly, shoving each each other around and play-biting, they become COVERED in saliva and slobber - - let's call the stuff slobbva.... . I'm assuming that once the rollover phluid deluge eases up, the dogs will learn to play with mouths closed.....bah!... .. ..

that is so cute.....Poodle Love!

Just for the record, that topic is infinitely more interesting than the thesis I actually wrote. Where were you all when I had to write the darned thing?!!!!

Well, what was it about? Thesis = very scary word......

Then it hit me--it's your own dinner cooking, you idiot!

:lol:

chuck roast.....taht sounds good for dinner. What do I DO to it? What else goes in? I SO do not know my cuts of meat........

Elsie and her first kill for you!!!!!! A proud moment.......

[jerseyangel]

Souczie!!!!!!You're back!!!

So happy you're doing a bit better!

Chuck roast--a delicious piece of meat but heinously tough unless prepared correctly. I either cook it covered in a slow oven (325-350) for about 3-3 1/2 hours surrounded by cut-up potatoes, carrots and onions--or in the crock pot on low for 10 hours. In the crock pot, of course you put the veggies on the bottom and the meat on top. Season as you like it. Make sure to slice against the grain of the meat.

Either way, you end up with lucious juice that you can either use as is or make into gravy.

My house smells really good right now

[curlyfries]

Schoooolll's out....for....summer!!!....Sing it with me, now!!! More fluids...lot's of 8th graders gonna miss us........imagine that ....lot's of hugs and tears. Lunch was a success. We ate at Texas Roadhouse. Everyone was served the same thing....chicken, baked potato, and green beans. I talked to the manager and got my chicken sans seasoning and cooked on foil....microwaved sweet potato and mixed veggies.....so far so good <<crossingfingers>>> My friend is vegetarian, so she also got a special plate.

Since we're talking about Edna's, I'd like to add that since April, I have lost 11 pounds...Sticking to mostly meat and veggies. Fibro is improving somewhat.....haven't tried Sven in a long time......except for my dancing. I know Sven is supposed to make you feel invigorated, but it does the opposite for me.

[Green12]

Tis a gloomy dreary day here so I'm not feeling very silly, makes me sluggish and my symptoms flare...I need to move to Arizona or somwhere hot and dry. NO FLUIDS for me!!!

Laura, LOVELY new picture! I have to agree with Bev, so very HEALTHY too

Soushizzle, glad you are doing better

Lisa, YAY for school being out, and YAY on your Edna. Good job!

Jess, ewwwww!

Emily, slobbery poodle love

Patti, I am so jealous of yer pot roast!!! I can't eat beef anymore and I just crave it Eat some for me

Tom, yer popcorn fireworks

Peter, Janet, Amanda, and Nikki, HI!!!

Sarah, come hither, I don't think she has even been active on MySpace, hope she is ok

[jerseyangel]

Hi Julie,

So sorry to hear of your lack of Sillie and overabundance of phluids and gloomy weather

How is your Edna going? I take it that it's pretty restrictive, no?

[tom]

. .. I SO do not know my cuts of meat........

David Letterman!!!!!

Glad you're feeling somewhat better, right on schedule.

I'm thinking I'm ~halfway to the silly threshold myself.

SJ's free Thursday "Music in the Park" concerts start tonight wooohooo!!

1st 4 are just a block away - called "Music in the ^OTHER^ Park".

But w/ the NBA Finals starting tonight, I'll be doing some back&forth.

LISA - I'm singin' it!!!!

Hi Sillies

wow-this is the first time I went almost all day without posting. With me not going to be here next week I am trying to clear as much as possible from my desk. Its crazy!!!! I have not had as much Phunny times as I need lately....and did you guys hear we have a heat wave coming???? 90's the next few days!

[tom]

Tis a gloomy dreary day here so I'm not feeling very silly, makes me sluggish and my symptoms flare...I need to move to Arizona or somwhere hot and dry.

Oy .. . . careful what you wish for. Phx has been mostly 100+F for weeks and will surely be over 112 for FAR longer than what seems humanly habitable.

I will NOT miss opening my door at 10 or 11pm and feeling like I've opened a pizza oven.

Daytime outdoor breathing could feel like my lungs were burning.

Patti, I am so jealous of yer pot roast!!! I can't eat beef anymore and I just crave it Eat some for me

Me too! .. . ...I do miss having some cow sometimes.

[jerseyangel]

somewhat better, right on schedule.

Yes!

We'll miss you next week, Amanda

Yeah--I heard it'll be at least 90 for the weekend and beyond

[blueeyedmanda]

Dont miss me too much patti, I will have my lap top there and I have wireless net so I should be able to join in the Vortex...

[elye]

There you are, Amanda! I missed you at 7:45 this morning... .. .just didn't seem the same.... ...

Ohhhh... .. ..this sounds absolutely GROTESQUE. Here I am complaining that we're gonna get up to about 90 this weekend....Ugh......pizza oven?

We get VERY humid here, however....not so much pizza as sauna/steamroom........

Hmmm. Still no Sarah.....

And where is Janet?

[blueeyedmanda]

There you are, Amanda! I missed you at 7:45 this morning... .. .just didn't seem the same.... ...

GADS, busy day - school meetings and stuff (yawn) ..no car and damn! it takes me ages to get anywhere walking!!!!

Many-a-plaster on me feet

Also had to help my 13 yr old son with a particulary heinous, torturous piece of homework.

Funny enough it was titled 'hurricane and tornadoes' (LEESAH!!!).....ummm, so if yer wanna know anything 'bout 'em ..........

Just for the record, that topic is infinitely more interesting than the thesis I actually wrote. Where were you all when I had to write the darned thing?!!!!

Umm, being silly probably

Gentle Lessons of Life & Very Wise Words

When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog

run to the end of his chain and gag himself.

************ *

A penny saved is obviously the result of a government oversight.

************ *

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at

the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting

moment.

**********

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then

your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

**********

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a

new replacement for it.

**********

He who hesitates is probably doing the right thing.

**********

Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are ' XL.'

**********

If you think there is some good in everybody, you obviously haven't

met 'everybody'.

**********

If you can smile when things go wrong, you must have someone else in

mind to blame.

**********

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so that he can tell when

he's 'really' in trouble.

**********

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for

it. For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles

don't hurt.

**********

Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS'

together it spells 'Theirs.'

*********

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about

your age and start bragging about it.

*********

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

**********

Some people try to turn back their life's odometers. Not me, I want

people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long, long way and

some of the roads weren't paved.

***********

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think

of Algebra.

***********

You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or

leaks.

***********

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is

such a nice change from being young.

**********

Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

**********

First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to

pull up your zipper. It's even worse when you forget to pull it down.

***********

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was

called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf

*********

Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my

mouth...AMEN. .!!
