Hi Tom, you avatar is very colorful :D

That it is!!!!!

Chihuly is one amazing glassblower. The av is of dozens of pieces set on a false clear glass (of the functional non-artistic variety) ceiling.

Exhibits do a whole room this way w/ 100s of pieces. Very cool.

hello everyone,

Im popping in to see what goes on over here.

Hi Paula! And welcome to Sillyville :)

Don't be surprised if you get called Paw-luh, or any other foe-neddik spelling ;)

Mtndog Collaborator

Hi Paula- Welcome- indeed, if you're looking for a place to silly- this is it. Except me-I'm very very very serious. :rolleyes:

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:

OMGawd Em--you'd better git packin'! Do you realize we're actually gonna MEET in 9 DAYS????? :D

I am jealous of the Psilly Psummit!!!!! But am so happy and cannot wait to hear the stories and see the pics!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could come too but Philly is 6 hours away and I am headed 5 hours in the opposite direction (Vermont). Actually, I think I'll be closer to where Miss Emily and the Ripper live than where they're traveling to!

Bon Voyage, Vaya con Dios and Happy Trails!

Seeing them's one thing......Smelling them's quite another.... . . . . :lol:

Try telling that to guys who would rather wear their boxers inside out the second time than actually do a load of laundry :lol: :lol: :ph34r:

.......hopefully blowing over to my daughter's former mother-in-law's house, with hideous, putrid fluids on my 5,000 post. B) .

Yes- I should certainly hope so!!!!!!!!!! 5000, wow! And nice to see you Goosey!!!!!!!

Signing over and out- hope everyone has a safe, happy 4th of July in the states and just a happy all-around day elsewhere- including the UK where they probably celebrate getting rid of us nutbags!!!!!!!! :P I'll be back on Monday.......

Oh, going to Lake Champlain with the family and shall promptly report any Champ sightings (he is the VT, NY equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster!!!!!!!! Could HE have kidnapped the yeti? I'll look for him too!))

And Susie- I'm still thinking about you and Kissey. :wub:

And last but not least, Uncle Ray had to poop in too:

The Back Pew

A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and

asked for a raise. They passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's expanding salary. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost.

After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us.

I laughed when I read this. It was the first laugh since our loss. Thank you, Uncle Ray.

Susie, how are you doing. It has been more than a day since we heard from you.

Momma Goose, I think it's a celebratory moment, every last of those 5,000 posts have been informative and helpful to so many :)

Some bad news to report, I no longer can partake in eating our beloved Pamela's products :(, I can't eat rice any more. I am saddest I think about the oh so chocolate-y and moist Chocolate Cake and Brownies :lol:

You will have to enjoy them for me!

So very, very, very true!

Between MG and Patti, I think the board would cease to exist without the two of them.

Bev, hope you have a wonderful trip----you deserve a fun, relaxing weekend.

Susie----hugs. All my love.

Oh no, Julieeeeeeee- say it isn't so!!! :( Is this something that's kinda been building, or is it a sudden reaction? Can you do sorghum flour?

I had a really great day today, you guys... actually felt better today than I have in weeks, since I started all this medication hullabaloo. I think stopping the Prozac was a smart move.

The weird thing, though, is I woke up with my right eye all swollen and the lid was red. I took some benedryl, and the swelling slowly went down through the day... I thought it was just a yucky bug bite, but now it looks like a rash. Then this afternoon I noticed that I have a rash on the tops of both feet, and coming about 1/2 up my shins. :huh: Now tonight, it looks like the same thing might be popping up on my forearms. :blink:

NOW what in hell is going on? <_< It's not bothering me if nothing touches it, but if I touch it, it's really itchy. So I'm trying not to touch it. :lol::rolleyes: It's tiny little red bumps... I reckon it must be some type of allergic reaction, I just can't think of what it might be. It looks like a heat rash, but it's not in the right places...

Ok, enough rambling about my rash. :lol: Where else can I go to a group of people and babble about MY RASH. :lol::rolleyes:

Hi Emily, glad you are there safe and sound.

LOVE AND PRAYERS to our Susie today

:wub: :wub: :wub:

jerseyangel Proficient
Susie, how are you doing. It has been more than a day since we heard from you.

Hi Sillies,

I received a heartfelt and of course so very sad email from our Susie this morning. She is dealing with more than just the loss of David's dear brother and the others. She feels our support and prayers and thoughts and has asked me to forward her email to all of you.

If you feel comfortable in doing so, you can PM me your email addreses and I will forward her email to you. She has also told me that I can give her email address to you, so if you want it, let me know--either way is fine.

It goes without saying that I'm beyond worried about her, at the same time, it's incredibly frustrating that she's clear across the country. I know you guys know how I feel.

Thanks, me Sillies :wub:

I am so very worried also, such sadness and despair in her emails, I feel so helpless being so far away :(

I look at the clock and see less what time it is, than how long until 11am, when services begin. Our hearts are w/ Susie.

Some bad news to report, I no longer can partake in eating our beloved Pamela's products :(, I can't eat rice any more. I am saddest I think about the oh so chocolate-y and moist Chocolate Cake and Brownies :lol:

:(

But I thought chocolate was already out?

Sair-uh less bumpy today?

Is Gian-knit MIA?

No make=up talk, not even when it makes me look gothic lol, or when it makes my skin go black lol.

Having trouble bringing the silly today :(

Difficult day for our Susie, David & family.

.....however -

Emily and family made it across the border!!!!!!! :D

Bev's off to catch a Nessie!!!!!

Sarah's getting better by the day!!!!!

Julie!! - surely not?????...no chocolate cake????? :unsure: .....that's just NOT right!!! :angry: (excellent Edna points though :rolleyes: )

....OMG....and I have a new addition to the family....

He's furry, 12 weeks old, ginger and white, purrs and is called Boris :D

<read mad cat lady strikes again :ph34r: >

The other 2 cats look like this---------> :angry:

Ridgewalker Contributor

(wailing) Nooooooooooo! I'm itchy as hell! I don't know where this has come from. I'm taking Benedryl every 4 hours trying to get rid of it. I haven't eaten anything new, haven't changed soaps, detergents, or anything at all. Brian wondered if it's a withdrawal symptom from the Effexor, and not an allergic reaction. I said I dunno, I haven't read about this being a symptom... it acts like an allergic reaction, I just don't know to what!

I'm so worried about Susie. :( I want to give real hugs, not just typed ones. Guessing it must be about 11 out that way now..?

Ridgewalker Contributor

Other than this stoopid rash, yup, I am definitely feeling better and better! Such a relief to be feeling normal again, after weeks of feeling crappy.

:o Picture! Picture! I am so jealous. I want a kitty!!!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

Well, it's almost 2:30 here, so the service must be well underway. I just can't imagine what those poor families and the folks who love them are going through.

We're all there, in spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah,

The timing of your itching and rash has me thinking about something. I wonder if it really is a withdrawl of sorts from the meds. This is not exactly the same thing, but during and after my surgery last year, I was pumped full of drugs from antibiotics to various painkillers.

Probably about a week later, and lasting for another 2-3 weeks, I broke out and was terribly itchy (at this point, I was on nothing stronger than OTC Tylenol). It was mostly in my midsection and back. I asked the surgeon about it at my 4 week appointment, and he said it sometimes happens as part of the healing process.

Maybe your system is trying to rid itself of what may be stored in your tissue. Just a thought. :)

Ridgewalker Contributor

Now that's interesting... sort of almost like a detoxing reaction. That could be it... At this point it makes the most sense- I haven't come into contact with anything new that I can think of, to be allergic to!

Edited to add-- One other "symptom" that isn't hurting my feelings too much-- my appetite has bottomed out. I think I've lost 4 or 5 pounds in the past week! :rolleyes: Also, the low-salt-bland-tasting-food isn't bothering me as much anymore. So Edna is happy. :lol:

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
    • trents
      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
