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......

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

jerseyangel Proficient

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?

Morning sillies,

Quick Poop-By--Meeting with my college friends in an hour for driving range and lunch.

Sorry to hear about Sophie's carsickness....hope she is feeling better by now....that is never fun!

Patti...that show would bother me so bad, I saw a show similar to that one night late and it was the Ugliest Child in the World....I was appauled to say the least...what a way to ruin a child's self image!

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:

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:

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. :( :(

OUCH!!!!!

Em! Should be an awesome jazzfest!!

I was bummed to find out yesterday they've doubled the price of the SJ one. :(

Still, just 10$/day, but for at least 18yrs it was ALL FREAKIN' FREE!!!!!!!!!

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!

Bev, I'm thinking of you!!!

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
