Hi Carla!!! Been a long time since I saw you.

We are terrible today....a lot of people have either taken the day off or went home early so we are just piddling around on the net. It has been so long since I had a day like this!

Nikki: I believe that you are pregnant.

:o OMGawd....could it be? :o

I was doing so well Sun/Mon, I just had to test Tjoe's new organic fake fritos, in the hope that, like tomatoes, the Organic aspect would make it ok.

Nope. Have had a slow mushy brain ever since, but getting better now.

Ahh yes Peeder, where has the Common Sense gone . ...

Sorry 'bout the mushy brain and all, Pataughm....is it too much to ask to have a freaking treat once in a while??? :angry:

And you said "Peeder" :lol:

What's wrong with my post count?????

Oh Cahr-lah....nothing wrong, per se....it's just that you are getting pretty close to a roll-over to a number so far mostly unheard of.....except of course by Moi. :D Here in Sillyville, such noteworthy post rollovers are commonly met with phluid onslaughts. Word to the wise--check yer plumbing and carry an umbrella ;)

Ugh! I have a sore throat from H-E-double hockey sticks.

Double ugh! Feel better soon, Julie :D

Sorry you missed these, Alex:

Awwww Weezeee!!! I miss that always by my side furry friend :(

'tis an unfailing comfort........JOO-LEE!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST get another......even when you are sick, they are right there, requiring little. :wub:

OMG - right now, Weezee is crouched at the front door in her sphinx position (cutest thing EVER), waiting for Daddy....... :lol: (who is out on his blasted MOTORCYCLE :angry: )

and Julie - sorry about your sore throat - heinous!

About your kitty Will, sounds like he skipped the toddler years and went straight into his teens. Look at what he is pulling already :lol:

:lol: yes - a true teenaged kitty, that Will!

Sensible Observations:

1) When I die, I want to die like my grandfather--who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Well, I now have both of my children home for the summer. A superb final concert....Jack was quintessentially librarianish - - he truly captured the spirit, the mindset and the attitude that encompasses one of these hard-working individuals. His big sister sat beside me chortling away, saying things like, "Gawd, he looks like such a major dweeb"......I quietly told her to wait for the hockey pads scene........this quietened her. :lol:

It was another way to read Julie's :emoticon:.....the word "quiz" was there, and "icicle", I believe......Having trouble remembering....it was very phunee and clever at the time! :rolleyes:

Jack came into the room and asked one of his great questions:

Why do we say that people are "head over heels" when they're in love? Aren't we normally this way?

:lol: :lol: I actually can't believe how nice those dresses are. But I spilled about half a class of wine (white thank gawd!) on my chest area at the reception so things may have gotten a little R-rated had I been wearing one of those beauties.

Yeah for Jack! Sounds like a very charming concert. Must be great for his confidence too!

So I saw Get Smart with my grandpa this evening. It was quite good -- funny, entertaining. I wouldn't say superb but good. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this bit I almost ate licorice at the theatre! What's wrong with me? The second ingredient is wheat flour! Licorice just doesn't immediately make me think gluten. I bought it and almost ate it without looking at the ingredients. I really am careful -- I just nearly lost my mind for a minute. But thankfully crisis averted.

Right now my bro is over watching the NHL draft with Ryan. It's quite agonizingly boring! I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

I think the term comes from "falling head over heels" in love. Apparently, when one falls, the heels at some point may be higher than the head.

Or not..... :lol:

Good Saturday morning, Sillies!

Sophie spent all last evening turning her room upside down, gathering junk material to sell at her friend's garage sale today. She came into the living room with a garbage bag FULL of evidence of her pack-rat status.

I did an unwise thing. I peeked in the bag. GAH!! I whip out her two stuffed bears that were given to her, a year apart, when she passed senior kindergarten, then grade one. Ya GOTTA keep those!! Then, more unwise manouvers - - dug down some more <_< , and there was her Etch-a-sketch that we gave her for Christmas when she was four, and she and I sat with it on her bed every night concocting amazing faces and animals together....What are you thinkin' Sophie? This STAYS!

Then the beading set she got from Grandma when she was in bed with the chicken pox, to keep her occupied....the autographed photo of Walter Gretzky.....AND....wait for this.....CARE BEAR figurines ("Sophie, you HAVE TO keep these, in honour of Sillyville. Don't you understand??")

Gad. She left with a small box of things.... :lol::lol:

I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

:(:(

This flashes me back a couple of years, when The Ripper was a liitle boy in the school yard, ALWAYS last picked for ANY sports team....such a cruel way for them to organize a gym class..... :angry:

Sounds like heels over head to me!!!!! :D:P

Just don't have the same ring, do it? :rolleyes:

:lol: I hear you on that one, Patti!

Now I gotta get up early and call the phone company so they don't send a guy out here after all. :rolleyes:

Sarah!! Don't call and cancel! Let the guy come by.....could be a Pattiplumber-type..... :rolleyes::)

Well, I've already been on hold for 10... no, make that 13 minutes, trying to get through to someone to tell them not to send the guy, sooo........ He could show at any time.

And I really have to go poop. To hang up, or not to hang up?

Took the phone to bathroom with me and figured, "Oh well, if someone comes on the line while I'm in here, well... at least it's not diarrhea." But I'm done and still on hold. <_<

Every once in awhile, a recording comes on and says that "all their technicians" are currently assisting other people. Yeah right, this is Surry County. It's one 17-year-old computer genius sitting there all by himself. Whatev. Other than that, I've listened to the same Rachmaninov three times now. Hopeless.

Well, POOPY COW. I gave up. I guess I gotta, like, get dressed now or something. I was hoping I could make a quick call and lay back down and snooze for awhile longer. Now I feel like it's too late. <_<

Brian and Ezra are up in PA, by the way, for a reunion. Luke and I stayed down here. It feels so... QUIET! :rolleyes:

Jeeze Sarah--the one day you coulda lazed around and you have to get dressed and wait for a tech that you don't even need :angry:

I say, you honestly tried to call them.....tape a nice note to your door saying that you tried several times to call and cancel the appointment --the problem has resolved itself, and you had to run out.

Then, go snuggle back under the covers :D

Tis quiet indeed. I'm here. I am doing domestic chores and errands today while Jacquie covers the store, so I will be in and out, and probably more out than in.

Emily calls Sophie a pack rat, and then tells her she must keep a bunch of old stuff. I seem to recall something about a pot and a kettle. :lol::D

Aren't call centers the most wondrous thing in the world, Sarah? :angry:

      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.
