Alex, I don't think it's weird or creepy at all. In fact, it is a FANTASTIC idea that just fits the situation so well - - she was a big part of your life at a very difficult time, she became, it sounds, like a second mom to you for a while, she collects Royal Doultons, and you happen to have one that was your mom's.........sounds perfect. Yes, there will be many happy tears, I am certain!! :):)

Let us know how it goes......

gads. If people don't shut up about how incredibly sweet it is, you're gonna have a room full of sniffly sillies...

Popping in to tell you all that I spent the day at one of the least likely places a Celiac would go to.

An all day beer fest!

I, of course, was not drinking, and was the coolest DD to my husband and friends.

I refused to touch anything in the whole place!!!! But, a beautiful day and a lot of fun, even for the sober girl ;). Can't say sober about the guys though!!

Sillies I am so pooped! I am barely keeping my eyes open to type this. The BBQ was great, I ended up returning once Landen arrived. My coworkers fell in love with him. he was very well behaved. I was a little worried since we are cutting teeth right now so he is not himself. He was great though :) I think I am going to hit the hay for the night. Bye Sillies

Morning, Sillies!

Well, it's just Jack and I for the next three days...DH took off this morning for a meeting in Toronto, and is carting along DD and two of her girlfriends. They will be set loose on the downtown streets of the megacity, doing teenaged-girl stuff. :rolleyes:B)

Sophie called me about a half-hour ago - - they'd been gone twenty minutes. She had suddenly barfed out her window, all down the side of the car. A few miles later, she got out and threw up again at the side of the 416 highway. In between the barfs, she had taken a Gravol, but it came up. So she's taken a second one. This child never gets carsick....I'm hoping it was the four bowls of strawberries she ate last night. :huh:

We shall see. So sorry I jammed out of that trip.......

Lisa! Fan-f*ckin'-tastic artwork! :lol:

Hmmmm....too bad there isn't a Vomitguy Emoticon for this post......

.......//

:o //

Wow....that's pretty projectile....... :lol:

Poor Sophie....hope the pukies were just a one time thing and she'll be able to enjoy the rest of her trip :)

Guys,

I saw the most heinous, vile display this morning on the Today Show.....a woman was standing in the crowd, holding a little dog in her arms, partially covered with a blanket. She was telling the host how the poor dog has only one eye, is missing a leg and has skin cancer. She went on to say that the vets have given him about 9 months. :(

Here's the part that made me turn off the TV in disgust.....this woman is carting this poor creature around, entering him in The Ugliest Dog in America contest. <_<<_<<_<

She mentioned how, at one point in the competition, he fell asleep.....gee, ya think?????

This has been bugging me all morning.....I'm thinking of emailing the show.

I know it's Sunday and all but what in hell is the matter with some people?

Thanks for all of the input about the gift thingy everyone! It sounds very unanimous that it won't come across as creepy in anyway. I think I may write a note to go with it so that she can know exactly how I feel and why I want her to have it in case I get too nervous or emotional to say everything I want to. I really do think it is a great opportunity to thank her for her profoundly comforting presence in my life at that time but I just feel a little nervous about it for some reason.

Poor Sophie....hope the pukies were just a one time thing and she'll be able to enjoy the rest of her trip :)

Yes, that doesn't sound like a very fun start to her summer vacation!

Poor pup!!! :(:angry: A dying pet should be treated with reverence and love. We treated our doggie like a prince when we knew his time was limited (not that we didn't treat him well before). We made a soft pillow bed by the fireplace and cooked him healthy meals and invited our neighbours and their dogs to come spend time with him to keep his spirits up. Your pet lives his life for you and to disrespect him and the end when he needs you most is despicable.

Hallo Psillies!!!!!!!!!!!! SusieQ- Love your Kissey avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's beautiful!

This is just a quick drive-by poop-in! I am exhausted.....Went to NYC Thursday, ended up staying overnight (long story but kinda fun- New York is crazy but so much to see!). Got home late Friday and by Saturday afternoon my arm was in flames and had to have PICC line immediately removed. It was a relief as I was ready to do it myself. Arm was so itchy and yucky. It's much better today but I expect after all this excitement, I will sleep for days.

Hope everyone is well- what did I miss????????????? Cannot go back :ph34r: :ph34r:

I had the exact same thoughts as you when I saw it. I literally couldn't believe my ears as she was talking and the newsman who had been interviewing her looked uneasy, too.

Hi Bev!!!! :D Yep--love NYC!! It must be so nice to be disconnected from the PICC line! Is that it, or will you have to have it re-done at some point?

Speaking of pets and their negligent parents.... :ph34r:

I just caught Allo, who seems to have a new lease on life lately, (I think in part due to his joint suppliments) trying to off himself by sticking his whole upper body in a plastic bag... :o

We just got back from shopping, and I put a bag from Linens & Things on the dining room floor whilst putting away groceries. I hear something, and see the palooka trying to curl up inside this bag! Gawd :rolleyes:

This is SO nice, Alex! :)

Man, I guess I should be treating my dad more like this....putting him beside the fireplace, cooking really healthy meals for him, letting the neighboUrs in to visit more.... :rolleyes:

...After all, he is about 15 in dog years.......

:unsure: Patti, I don't get it either......short exam on a stick? something-cicle? what? does it have to do with pizzles? :lol:

I, of course, was not drinking, and was the coolest DD to my husband and friends.

:lol: gawd

I stared at this "DD" for a full 10 seconds before I figured out it meant Designated Driver......I really thought, when I first looked at it and was not computing, that Miss Laura was bragging about her.......cup size. :lol:

This makes me sick- I can't imagine EVER doing something like this to any animal!

NYC is crazy! I don't know about the PICC line......we are going to do oral for the summer and if we don't like what happens, back to IV in the fall. I'm having a lot of regret....not that I had a choice but I'm terrified that the 12 weeks I was about to do would have been what kicked the beast. I've been on the verge of tears all afternoon. :( :(

Don't have regret, you might make just as much progress on orals as you did IV. :)

Me, too .... I kept thinking it was "dear daughter" and wondered how she became her husband's daughter for the afternoon. :blink:

My apologies for the confusion over "DD," but I am happy the mystery has been solved. ;) It gave me a very good laugh this afternoon though!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
