So. I have just had the fortunate opportunity to meet, in the flesh, THE most meet-able, rewardingly kind, phunny member of this phorum. Think of everything you would imagine Patti to be like in real life.....well, it's all there: lovely, patient, listens to everything (I mean everything - - oh, gawd...) you say, informative, hilarious....yep, just too much. :lol::lol:

And Mark!! OMG......Charming and hilarious. Jack cannot stop commenting on how phunny this man is - - direct quote - - "Mom, Mark paid attention to everything I said, and he even kept looking at me in my eyes. That is rare, and it made me feel great!" :)

We lured the Pattis from Starbucks to our open house at the hotel, and furthered our amazing chatter on the patio with wine.

Now, everyone...Patti, I know, probably wasn't feeling the best, as she has her blood work tomorrow and mentioned she wasn't 100%. But I just keep thinking, MAN, what in hell is she like when she's ON?

Thanks SO much, Patti, for welcoming me to your beautiful neck of the woods, especially when you likely weren't feeling terrific. :wub:

If you guys ever get even a remote chance to meet this great woman in person, do whatever it takes!

I did NOT wear me bib. But a couple of the pics taken are of just our breasts, and you will have to guess whose are whose. :o

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah- the PSILLIES SUMMITTED!!!!!!

I am NOT in the least bit surprised that this was what Patti was like in person- and the DH Mark!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

I bet she'll say the same about you Miss Emily!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:rolleyes:

Em & Patti & Mark & Jack!!!!!!!! Fantastic!! [Edit: & Will & Sophie!!!]

THE biggest smile on me reading Em's account :D

:lol:

So . ....I'm going back & forth on heading down to 'Music in THE Park' right now.

It's at the bigger park that's further away . ... .how much perfume?? Any chance I can get a decent sightline?

It's Pete Escovedo - to me, very famous but I was surprised that roomie John had no idea. Is he only that famous in CA and in latin jazz circles??

And right you are, Bev! :D

I can't remember when I've had a nicer evening. Emily and her family are the most delightful people--Em is every bit as phunny as she is here and is so warm and easy to talk to. She's one of those people with a gift for making everyone around her feel so comfortable, as though you've known her forever. And did I mention phunny?? B)

It was so nice to meet her DH Will--what a sweet guy, just the nicest person! Loved talking to Sophie and Jack (The Ripper)--what fantastic kids!!! Both so well mannered and intelligent, it was a pleasure getting to know them.

The hours just flew by, I truly think we could have sat there and talked all night!

The fly in the ointment here is that I can't get a single picture to download onto the board :angry: I've been sitting here at least a half hour--Em, even the breast pic won't load :P Gawd--I've tried everything--I may try and make one my personal picture for now till I can get it to work.

Morning Sillies...didnst get an appointment yesterday hopefully today. My Dr was not in so I didn't want to see the woman who was there I dont like her. My dr knows me and is celiac aware and I feel most comfortable with her.

The coughing is like a dry-non productive cough and it hurts like heck. Jen my nurse neighbor thinks its either bronchitis or pneumonia.....wonderful being I am heading to NY in 3 days for vacation!

PAtti and Em I am glad to hear you guys had a wonderful time! Next time I promise!

Hi Susie! Hope you are doing well.

Loved yer splash o cheer too!

I have been trying to post a few times this morning in this thread and it's still rather phunky....not sure what is going on? I think it might be because Emily abandoned her post :huh: Hopefully all will return to normal when she gets back home.

Loved hearing from you ladies how your meeting went, like Susie said, it warmed me heart!!

Amanda, I hope you get into the Dr today, that sounds heinous :(

And where is Peter?

Don't seem to have any phunnee in me today . . . but a friend of mine does:

The Rules of Chocolate

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.

Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

I've decided that my Edna goal is to weigh what I put on my driver's license by my birthday. This, of course, raises other issues such as: What do I put on my driver's license? What I think I can con people into believing?

What I want to weigh next year?

Anything I want cause no one ever looks anyway?

My eye coloUr would have to be detected by a good eye looking at the foto, which is less than one inch square.

Don't bother with Indiana, Jess . . . <_<

Really, it doesn't make much sense to have it on there. We have to renew every four years . . . a lot of weight can be gained and lost (and gained again) in that amount of time.

You have to in NC, too. I just lie- with total conscience-free abandon. B)

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      Hello, I'm relatively new to this, so I'm hoping to get some advice. I went gluten-free for most of April and felt the best I've ever felt. I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m hon...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m honestly feeling miserable. I’ve been dealing with joint pain, bloating, diarrhea, and just overall discomfort. Does anyone have tips on how to manage these symptoms during this month? What has helped you with joint pain?
