Hi Em!!! :D

You will love Chicago--we saw it on Broadway in the late 90's. Sounds like yer havin' a great time :)

PeOter--will you be gracing us with yer presence in Philadelphia on the 10th?

Congratulations and hail to Queen Nicola!! :D For the duration of yer reign, I must remember not to refer to you as "Nik" :lol:

Wee Boris is just adorable, by the way :rolleyes:

Amanda--we're in the soup here, too. Not as hot, but awfully humid. We lucked out yesterday, we took a ride to Peddler's Village and although it threatened rain all day, it held off till about 8PM.

'Brown nosing' the Queen is allowed - nay - encouraged.......at ease Gaen-knitt ;)

...almost phorgot.....

Did I mention me cats are in the entertainment industry???

Here's Boris and Will singing the praises of milk (Boris in the flat cap, Will on the accordian) ;)

My what talented kitties you have Queen Nicola!!!! Did I mention that video was the most hilarious clip I have seen in months!!!

ya know, that party dress hasn't been seen since Tom was monarch :huh:

:lol::lol: . . . Yeah Tom!!! Cough it up!!! It was a strapless number if memory serves me correctly.

Went to a festival yesterday. Saw an amatuer frisbee dog show . . . quite fun. Some were good enough to (and probably do) compete. I enjoyed when the dogs got "done" mid routine and just walked away. :lol::lol: Also, one frisbee went outside the ring and a little girl tossed it back in. The dog fetched it and returned it back to the little girl to throw againl.

Currently painting a wicker chair. Got laundry to do, too. When should I expect you, Patti?

I just joined the local FreeCycle group . . . looking to get rid of some perfectly good items that are only worth something to the right person. I just listed the grass catcher (never used) to the lawnmower that bit the dust two years ago . . . Yeah, I just couldn't throw the bagging attachment away. It had never been used for Pete's sake!!!

Oh!!! and it's been over 20 hours and NOBODY has emailed to say they want my crap lovely grass catcher.

Hi Em!! Hope you are having a lurvely time. I would lurve to see Chicago (the musical, not the city . . . I've seen the city several times). Glad you could poop in.

Cheery holidays and vacations to all. Marched walked in the local parade yesterday with the theatre group. Unfortunately we were several entries behind the disposal entry so didn't get to see the new garbage trucks (seriously). On the up side, the biggest tow truck in the county passed our entry on the way to the line-up, so did get to see that.

Lefty is not a good bed partner. He spent the night kissing my face until I threw him out about two a.m. In gratitude for being being my only bedmate, Lyle left me half a bird wing :huh:

Em et al get a good spot for the fireworks?

I saw a clip on tv & it looked like 3 separate identical & synchronized shows - :o :o :o - it appeared that each one would have been spectacular enough on its own.

Congrats to Queen Nikki. And without trying to sound all brown-noser-ish might I add what a lovely new kitty you have.

Gian-knit makes so much look so effortless!

heck no.....he usually answers to "old fart" or "pee-dad" ( not sure where that came from) :huh:

Does it pre-date P-diddy? :D

Yeah, we were at a park listening to my DD's boyfriend's jazz band .. .

I hope he's the sax player!!

Tom, you're welcome to come to the pitch-in!!!!!!!! It's on July 12 in Carmel, IN. That's only half-way across the country :P

Cool!! Half-way's my me limit!

I must insist on a few formalities though:

It'd be me honoUr to comply!

<do I get a crown....or a sparkly tiara :unsure: ......a wand a party dress?? (sparkly)......... :blink: >

There used to be a sceptre .. . .I thought I shipped it to Jess in Dec or Jan . . ...or was it in that box I took to storage? Anyone seen a sceptre on eBay?

ya know, that party dress hasn't been seen since Tom was monarch :huh:

:lol:

:lol::lol: . . . Yeah Tom!!! Cough it up!!! It was a strapless number if memory serves me correctly.

Oh c'mon!! You know I don't have the breastage to keep that up.

(I'm not sure this was covered in "The Manly Man's 1001 uses for duct tape")

The dog fetched it and returned it back to the little girl to throw again.

Sillies have some exciting news. In 2 weeks we are heading back to the Finger Lakes to see Stone Temple Pilots and take our vacation. We didn't book our hotel yet since we were shopping around. Well I found out there is a Lighthouse you can stay in up there, and that is where we are staying plus it is cheaper than the hotels and we stay there by ourselves and I have access to the tower my entire stay there.

Its called the selkirk lighthouse. How exciting!!! Especially for someone like me who is in love with lighthouses!!!!

So go google it and check it out :):)

Not for a while - she's got to help me paint Al's bedroom (sorry, I pulled rank B) )

He spent the night kissing my face until I threw him out about two a.m. In gratitude for being being my only bedmate, Lyle left me half a bird wing :huh:

Another lovely day here, sunny and not humid at all. All of you under clouds on the Atlantic coast are welcome to come visit. :lol:

Susie, where are you? Please check in.

Mornin' PeOter and everyone :D

Please send some of that dry air south! We're drowning in humidity.....thank goodness it's not hot, the temps have been staying in the low 80's. Of course with this kind of humidity, it feels like 90 in the afternoon <_<

Morning Sillies!

Its back at work today after 4 days off....let me tell you I am draggin! Landen has been terrible all weekend, I actually refused to keep him overnite last night. His cousin has been staying downstairs for 3 weeks now. I made her take him at bedtime. For the past 3 nights, he has woke up screaming @ 3 and continues until 6-6:30, yet no one sees anything wrong with it. John and I both had to work today and if we called off we would not get paid for the 4th. Do I sound mean?

I am getting frustrated by this whole thing. He just doesn't really have rules at his house so when he gets to mine and he wants to crawl all over we don't allow it. He throws fits in the car and the store so what used to be when we got our errands done is now confining me to the house. I am thinking about only keeping him a weekend a month now.....

I probably sound selfish or horrible but come on. I know if I have a baby I will be up all night, but thats different it will be mine. This kid is almost 10 months now, and he just stopped getting a bottle overnight last month.....which is a little old for the overnight feeding. When you stop and think at 8 he gets a bowl of cereal mixed with either fruit or veggies and then another bottle.

Any advice guys?

Jestgar Rising Star

Unless you're getting paid to keep him, and you need the income, stop.

Ridgewalker Contributor

I wish I had some good advice, Amanda. I'm tearing my hair out right now, trying to make a similar decision.

My good friend, who is going through the nasty divorce, is an RN, and has been working 12 hour shifts on weekends only for years. She's now thinking of trying to get a position on another floor in the hospital that would be 8-4 on weekdays.

She's found a daycare for her daughters, ages 1 and 3, but would need someone to watch her son, age 7, during the summer and school vacations. (The bus would drop him off at her parents' after school.) He and my boys have grown up together and are great friends, and she would pay me...

But he is not the easiest child to handle. He has behavioral and focus issues, and takes medication for them during the school year... but my friend doesn't have him take his meds when he's not in school. I've tried talking to her about that, because I just don't know if that's a great idea... The meds really help him when he's on them. But this is how she wants it, at least for now.

I just don't know if I'm up for it right now. The timing stinks. :(

I've been debating with myself ever since she asked me on Friday. I need to give her an answer today. She's not pressuring me at all, and won't be upset if I say no. I want to help her, and I could REALLY use the extra money... I'm just afraid to commit to it, with the health problems I'm having right now.

Seems like I've been changing my mind every hour. Yes, I can handle it... No, it's a bad idea...

I still don't know what I'm going to tell her.

Jestgar Rising Star

Sarah, can you brief her on your health stuff, and tell her you'd like to try helping her out, but if you can't, you can't?

I think it's going to have to be something like that... I hate being wishy washy about it, as opposed to just giving her a commitment, but I really want to help her if I can!!! This girl needs a break, you know? She's been through the wringer (and still is) because of her jackass husband. <_<

I've known them both for almost ten years, and I've become so disgusted with him in the past couple years, I don't even want to talk to him anymore, EVER.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
