Emily, Ripper and family are coming to America today!!! B)

Have A phab time.....oh AND the psilly summit (soooo jealous)...lucky girl :rolleyes:

Listen up moms! STOP WASHING YOUR CHILDREN!!

....and yet my son still got it :rolleyes::lol:

OK- here's a silly:

Open Original Shared Link and makes EVERYBODY happy! :lol:

T'is good stuff that ozzie milk ;)

Well, DS has moved home!!!! We are so excited.

A year ago, he moved back to my MIL's house in Ontario, and we have had very little contact with him since. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, he called and told us he wanted to come home. We bought him a ticket and picked him up last night. He's spent most of the day with his friends, but actually came home on time for supper for the first time...well... almost ever actually. He seems to have found some manners as well.

Part of me, I must admit, is still waiting for the other show to drop so to speak and for things to go back to the chaos filled mess they were a year ago. Is that bad?

Oh well, for now we are enjoying his company. I am glad he is home, as I missed the additional testosterone support around here.

Happy Canada Day! We are off to watch the local fire works display tonight.

Ryan!...didn't know you had a son :D ....good news he's coming home (I think!)

GADS - how old is your son??....I have 3 boys but my youngest boy (13yrs) we nicknamed the devil child

(see avatar - & what *I* would like to do to him!!)

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

He tries the patience of a saint - always getting into some sort of trouble - attitude in abundance and is currently grounded FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

<sometimes wish I had a MIL he could stay with>

I'm gritting my teeth and hoping one day he will turn out to be a decent human being--(maybe? :unsure::lol: )

Yes!!! This is most encouraging....some real good news and not me trying to inject some levity with stories of packing me arse in shorts or sumphin :lol:

Packing yer arse Patti :lol:

Aww Peter - what a lovely little chap he was :)

Every July 1, I wonder why Canada celebrates this day, but not Open Original Shared Link. Oh, probably because nobody would want another holiday in December. But in terms of the development of Canada as a country, Open Original Shared Link, was much more significant than July 1, 1867.

See, now this is why Peter is the 'Oracle'

I love his snippets of information!! :D

ONE pair underwear

Em, I live in a house of 4 males :rolleyes: ....am constantly trying to teach the concept of a clean pair everyday :lol:

HAVE FFFFUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meant to add....

Sarah, it's great you've found baking therapeutic!! (dear gaaawd I have NO patience for it!)

I found gardening very relaxing....helps you work off any excess 'nervous energy', painting, drawing, reading also.

It's a bit of a cliche I know (and most probably not practical whilst the boys are off school for the summer) but exercize is my saving grace....it keeps the demons at bay - lifts my mood - makes me feel a little better about meself etc...etc.....BUT I've never been any good at self motivation, that's why I now go to 'group classes'

I do a mixture throughout the week of aerobic, weights, yoga and pilates (my favoUrites)... very calming :)

Mornin Nik :D Looks like we're the only ones here.....

I know what you mean about the exercise--I feel better after, but it's really hard to get motivated to do it. I hate to sweat :lol:

I imagine Emily, fresh off late-night fireworks and packing, is heading off for the States as we speak. She'll be here for Independance Day, so more fireworks! :P

Re: yer 13 year old troublemaker--he's testing his boundries and your patience at the same time. I had one like that, and he's now a hard-working, tax paying member of society (!) :lol: Yer a good mum, and yer boys are gonna turn out fine :D

Shoot, I wanted to say safe and happy travels before you left! Well done on being able to fit in a run on such a harried, busy morning! Being the runner that you are I may need to pick your brain about IT band syndrome when you come back. I have been bothered by a snapping hip every time I take a step and annoying knee pain and thankfully the xray was clean so my doc thinks it's my IT band. I guess this is common amongst runners. I'm hoping physiotherapy will do the trick for me.

Anyway, I hope you can hear me from the highway: TRAVEL SAFELY AND HAVE FUNNNNNN! :D (red and blue for your American adventure -- white wouldn't show up ;))

He's almost 16, and yes...someday we hope he too will return to being a normal human being.

I can also sympathize with the suitcase packing this as well, but in some cases that's all that may also be in their dressers, which is why it never ends up in the laundry! :)<_<

In lieu of my usual confetti for milestone posts, I made you a foot to kick the ex and the former MIL in the but, far away from your daughter.

      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.
