OMG!!! No seeing it live for any of you guys??......... . . . :huh::huh::(

Dunno what the ratings were here, but I just have the feeling that MILLIONS of Canucks went in late to work today, so they could sit mesmerised, watching the most spectacular ceremony I'm sure I've ever seen. Heart-stopping, at times, breathtakingly beautiful at others, incredibly ingenious....

PeOter! Did you watch? Alex?

was it that good? You know........I am always wondering how the next country will out-do the preceding.....I cna't believe some of the things they do now, in opening ceremonies.... :huh: But my all-time favorites - Lillehammer and France for openings.

OMG - back to work - those three words strike TERROR into the heart of DingoBrained Spruezle...... :o

My biggest prayer - to have a meaningful (at least semi) job at which I excel. NOt even a CAREER for pete's sake, just something decent and tolerable about which I feel good. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

carry on sillies.......todya is Last of the Mojitos party at 4 - a few gals and Janie coming over - they have to be gone so I can watch olympics w/ Weezee :lol: See you guys this aft? ;)

Ok sillies....listen to this Serious funny of the day.

Remember in my wedding party I had John's sister? She was pregnant, had the baby in Feb? Ok well she was engaged and they finally set the date. It was on her myspace page today. There was also a link to their knot wedding page. So i click on it and it has the bridal party listing....and she listed me as a bridesmaid..and a little blurb about how I am her sister in law and she absolutely adores me...mind you guys we rarely even talk but like 10 minutes apart. She never even mentioned the wedding/and or party before....

This is just an all around interesting day....

:lol::lol:

As an artist, I was SO excited and quite literally mesmerised by the things that unfolded before our eyes. I don't wanna give anything away..... . ...I'll just say this, because our Canadian commentator mentioned it and I'm SO GLAD that he did: when you see things moving, look carefully for the person controlling it - - may not be obvious, but those incredible people are there.....

What phun!

The Ripper is going to his overnight camp on Sunday. I've never seen him so excited about anything...... . even about going to NYC (actually, he was pretty excited about meeting you, Patti....but I think this is an even bigger deal)...... ...

So, while we were sitting here watching TV, Jack suddenly turned to me and asked, "Do the Sillies know that I'm going away to camp?" :lol:

I said that yes, I had mentioned it. He was concerned, however, that you all may not remember exactly when he is going.

So, now everybody knows. Sunday, August 10th, 3 pm. :lol::lol:

Oh Emily--please be sure to tell Jack to have a phabulous time at camp!!!! :D I had such a great time meeting him and talking all about the history and future of Celiac. What a delightful young man--truly :)

So, Sunday's the big day--how long will he be gone?

One week. :) The camp has a website, and they post photos each day. Hopefully there will be a shot or two of Jack, and I'll post them.

Dropping in for a quick visit. I'm current on reading, but don't have much silly in me to share. There is an ancient Chinese curse, I believe, that goes something like, "May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so. :angry:

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. I had some problems with Open Original Shared Link which required minor laser surgery in February of 2004. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. :) (So far, this is the only sign of complications--an enlarged blood vessel in one eye.)

It's a small world. During the exam, I was asking the surgeon if he could recommend someone to examine me for eyeglass prescription. My distance vision is not as good as it once was, and I may soon need glasses to see (I have been using readers for years). He knows nothing about practitioners where we live, but knows the area in Toronto where we have our business. He recommended a practice half a block from our store. He is familiar with the area because he lives in the neighboUrhood. Then the penny drops. He asks me, "You work for XXX, don't you?" I say, yes, my wife and I own the XXX store at (intersection). Turns out his dog has developed food issues, and he has to buy an expensive non-allergenic food, and the vet told him to go to XXX. He remembered buying food from there recently, and described the person from whom he bought the food--Jacquie.

So, when I got to the store later, I told Jacquie that I would be seeing Dr. K in another year, if not sooner. She asked, why sooner. I said, why are you seeing the doctor and not telling me. She looked, and sure enough, the computer had a record of Dr K buying food and being served by her.

Having one of us in the store all day every day is still the routine, but we have three people in training a the moment so there is a light at the end of the tunnel (I hope it is not the headlight of an incoming train :rolleyes: ).

Dear Everyone,

I just wanted to "poop" in and say hello! :) I have not been on here in so long! It has been difficult to be on the computer at all lately. Our power went out five times during the past seven days! :angry: With as much as they charge, the very least the electric company could do is keep the freakin' electricity on!

I wanted to share my good news with you all. Mom got me a bunny! :) He is so adorable! Boomer is his name. That is him in my avatar. I have only had him since Sunday, and he is already spoiled! :lol:

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. How is Amanda's husband doing? The last I was on here, he had just lost his friend in a car wreck and was severely depressed. I hope he is doing better. Such things are difficult to recover from. I have some great things I got in e-mail that I will try to post soon for everyone.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in.

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
