Well everyone, I bought a pair of shorts yesterday :o White "walking shorts"--actually kinda cute :D I'm celebrating my modest weight loss.....not svelt yet, but I can definately wear these around the house and not scare any small children who might happen by :lol:

Okay...that is good to know, Patti, as there may well be small children in the Psilly Pstarbucks on July 10th, where I certainly hope to see you in yer new svelte shorts.....

OMG--I keep phorgetting to tell you guys.....yesterday, Mark and I were sitting in Starbucks and a parade float base went rolling by the window hitched onto a pick-up truck. I immediately thought of me sillies, and told Mark this. Do you know how hard it is to explain something like that? :lol:

Patti!! Don'cha know?? I organized that float appearance for you guys as you sat at your neighboUrhood Starbucks, to mark THE event of all events, at the Philly Pstarbucks, July 10th. I figured that the PERFECT thing, the perfect symbol of Sillyville, was a parade float base. I actually asked if they could hoist a big care bear effigy atop this base, but it was too short notice.....

Julie - the decorating adventure (to be) sort of got lost in amongst the whole IKEA nightmare experience :lol:

This all started 'cos someone gave us some really nice fully lined curtains which I thought would go nice in Al's bedroom....BUT I needed to get him a new blind......couldn't bear the thought of a nicely dressed window and all that old furniture & paintwork :rolleyes:

So, we've gotta get the paint now (choosing coloUr is totally my domain).....but listen to this...what'cha think???????

.....chocalate brown on the bottom of the walls then a dado rail (crisp white) then a lime green coloUr for the top part of the walls.......skirting boards base boards, dado, coving & ceiling in white :unsure:

Oh dear gaaawd......it's frazzled ME BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

Julie's (honest!) opinion is required......

No nearby YMCA? They have terrific kids' camps, and you pay what you can afford.

Oh yeah!! I forgot about YMCA

They do summer clubs here too - cheaper than most.

We could make a beeline for Jess's place, where everybody could fight for a spot on the lounger swing..... :rolleyes:

Or the couch, where the sprawling menfolk reside ;):lol:

Mmm, 'walking shorts'....what are they??? :unsure:

Notice how similar svelte and sven are :blink: ......a coincidence????......I think not

It's them clever li'l Swedes at IKEA taking over THE WORLD!!!!!! :huh:

:o:o:o <<<-------- These are the faces of small children when *I* wear shorts,

A fancy term for shorts that come down to a couple inches above the knee--not too short, but not Bermuda shorts, either. I always wear capris or crops, but figured what the heck :P

I will not, however, be wearing them on July 10th at Starbucks in Philadelphia..... B)

Something I've been wonderin, did you all invite Chuck Norris to the Psilly Summit?

Julie - the decorating adventure (to be) sort of got lost in amongst the whole IKEA nightmare experience :lol:

Julie's (honest!) opinion is required......

I must have missed this, and yes my honest opinion....I think it sounds great!!!

I have seen this color combo on several decorating shows before, a shade of green with chocolate brown and crisp white trim and wood work. Blue is also a wonderful color to pair with chocolate brown.

I say go for it, and the great thing is Nikki if you don't like it it's just paint and the easiest thing to change out.

Mmm..like a duck egg blue (like 'Tiffany & co' coloUr)..BUT Martin's (youngest) bedroom is this coloUr - you can't have 2 rooms the same coloUr now can you??

Padd-ee - unfortunately these chubby knees have to be covered with a slightly longer length short ;)

Does Chuck wear 'walking shorts' I wonder?? :unsure:

Oh God- I am late on this one (Kurt and I were out of town). SusieQ- I am so incredibly sorry for Kissey and his family and you. When I saw Nikki's email my heart literally dropped in my chest. I cannot imagine. Unimaginable. I'm sorry I wasn't here yesterday but I'm here now and i am sending prayers, peaceful thoughts and all my good energy your way. :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

I'm expecting to go home and find one of the menfolk napping on said swing.

Whoever decides to show up: there's extra towels in the bathroom, and bring your own brushes if you're planning on playing in my makeup.

oh wait, wrong thread for that :P

OMG......this reminds me of something my son gave his grandpa(my FIL) a few years ago. Wildlife, ecology, nature person that he is......he gave his 80 yr old grandpa a change purse that is in actuality.......................a kangaroo scrotum! :o It has a nice soft leathery feel to it. Grandpa is quite a scrapper. ;) He always has it with him and goes up to strange women (waitresses, sales clerks) hands it to them and asks them if they've ever seen/felt anything like it, then tells them what they are holding. He just loves to see their reaction! :lol:

Hi sillies. I'm pretty down, I guess, but it's not as much about what happened 12 yrs ago as knowing what David's going through (heck we've all been through something similar) - and how much he means to our silly Pseuzee. Is it too weird that I feel like I know him when it's only through Susie's words?

Some moments may be flashback grief tho. Sometimes there are some sort of weirda$$ chills of despair and/or nausea.

But Pete was in 1996. It was David & family & neighbor/pilot & family whose lives were changed Saturday - even moreso the 7 kids.

KRON4 news just aired a segment on them all - largely because the neighbor is in a run-off election for a county post.

OMG--I keep phorgetting to tell you guys.....yesterday, Mark and I were sitting in Starbucks and a parade float base went rolling by the window hitched onto a pick-up truck.

:lol:

And here's something on tv tonight, suitably reminding of sillyville.

Thank you to everyone who has spoken to our loss of Thomas. He had been a member of our family for just over ten years.

Susie, I am keeping you, David, and David's family, in my thoughts. Two families of children losing both parents is beyond what I have words to express.

Tomorrow is a holiday here in Canada, but I don't feel much like celebrating. :(

Same afore mentioned son has a field identification guide to poop. He once had a science club T-shirt in HS with his nickname on the back..............Guano(sp?).....means bat poop. Also used to have his my space picture as that of some sort of scat or other. He's quite the nature nerd :rolleyes: !

.............How many ways ARE there to say poop, anyway?

Sillies We are home!!!! I am exhausted and I was sick all day, I must have taken at least 7 "D" pills.....I think it was between nerves, a glutening, and just being off schedule but it is terrible! So more details hopefully tomorrow. I will also try to update my avatar as well.

I think WE need a Queen Alex around here.....just twelve pages to go!!......

I don't think I can handle the responsibility of being the next Queen! I think I'd like to be a royal duchess -- a nice title with no responsibility.

Thank you to everyone who has spoken to our loss of Thomas. He had been a member of our family for just over ten years.

I'm so sorry Peter. The loss of a pet just makes the house seem so empty. I hope your other cats are helping to keep you two strong.

Sick while traveling -- that's no fun at all Amanda. I hope you feel better tomorrow! :)

I have a little good news to share. Nothing big but it sure made me feel happy. We went to Ryan's parents house this evening for a little Canada Day Eve party and we brought Colin along with us. There were some people there he'd never met before so it took him a little while to warm up but after a while he was in there like a dirty shirt. He was having fun playing catch with Ryan's nephew and joined in on the conversation when we were all sitting around the table. And then he helped Ryan and his dad set off the fireworks AND I could hear him laughing quite a bit while they did that. I'm pretty sure I was beaming the entire time! I think spending sometime with Ryan's big, happy, fun-loving family is almost therapeutic for Colin. And they all adore him as well. It was definitely a great night! :D

*******HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!*********

I shall compose in maple leaf red for the duration of this special day. :)B)

We will be heading for the madness on Parliament Hill this afternoon, where a million people congregate, watch the mounties do their endless manouvers, listen to great music, some patriotic speeches (gad, nothing like when Joe showed up here about ten years ago and screamed off his I AM CANADIAN rant to thunderous, deafening cheers...).. ....Typical patriotic stuff from such a small, young, self-conscious population that makes up my Country. :rolleyes:

I`ve already done my patriotic, symbolic hat-tipping to Canada - - this early morning, in full insulin reaction mode, instead of reaching for the corn syrup on my bed table I stumbled into the kitchen and managed to find the MAPLE syrup to pour down my throat. :rolleyes:;)

Got NONE in me hair, either.

Good news about Colin, Alex! :)

Amanda - - take care of thyself.......

PeOter....hope you are able at some time today to feel a little celebratory. Thinking of your little Thomas. :)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!!!

I wish all my buddies to the north a great, fun and relaxing holiday! :D

I will, in honoUr of ya'll, be drizzling some Maple Gold Syrup (product of Canada) over me fruit this AM. :P

Gawd, Emily, not another insulin reaction :( Nice touch, though, with the patriotic fix ;) Have a good time today! :)

Patagumn, Thanks for the link to the article. Hope today is a little brighter for you :)

PeOter, Thinking of your family today--hope you feel up to doing something to lift your spirits on this holiday :)

Amanda--Sounds miserable...take care of yerself today.

Alex--Such great news about Colin--truly, I was so happy to hear he had such a great time yesterday. :D To borrow a phrase from Nik--it warmed the cockles of me 'art!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Issues before diagnosis

      By sha1091a · Posted

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
