Ah, sometimes it is a challenge to be a guy here in sillyville. :rolleyes:

Oh, well, I think I will stick around anyway. ;)

I'm sorry Peter....

So My sister said the word Yeti tonight on the phone.

I also have an unexpected visitor tonight. Landen is sleeping at my house, he arrived at 10. So his cousin was supposed to watch him this evening....the same girl who needed the preggy test earilier. Well Jen went to work, John and I went to WEggies. We got home and I noticed Becky's boyfriends car was here, and it was not even after Landen's bedtime. John and I went in to make dinner. A little while later Jen texted me and asked me if I seen Becky at all since she could not get in touch with her by phone or anything. I said no but said look her guy friend is here but I wasnt saying anything. Jen was pretty mad, she had told Beck no boys in the house. So at 10 Jen took a leave from work to come home for a bit since here it was 10 and she still couldnt get in touch with Beck. She was worried about her baby....So Jen arrives to find Becky and this guy drunk, Landen in bed but never even changed so she had been in touch with me on her way home and asked if we had plans, I did say yes since John and I were going out tonight, but when she explained what all was going on. SO Jen brought Landen up here and laid him right in the crib. it was not until she was coming up my stairs did she figure out Landen had a wet diaper on and he had no clothes on. She brought his blanket and binkie but we didnt change him since it would wake him up and that would cause problems. Jen kicked Becky out of the house. Jen came back with Landens diaper bag and she was crying. She was worried she ruined our evening and what would she have done if we werent home....I just told her Landens ok now, not to worry about our plans, we have many nights. Its more important that he is safe. So I calmed Jen down and she went to work....more later Landen hasnt woke up yet, we turned down the AC tonight so he is comfy. I am going to give him a bath in the morning.

I used to work in daycares so I love children the preschool job sounds fun!!!!

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Well, I'm sure Landen had a good night's sleep, all changed and comfy in your crib, Amanda. Jen is SO lucky to have you!

Got a question fer y'all.........does anyone have experience with hot tubs? We are seriously considering the purchase of one, and the main reason would be for our sore, tight, overworked muscles (DH works out as much, if not more, than I). None of the athletic people we know have been in a hot tub enough to say whether or not it really helps. My RMT girlfriend tells me it often works wonders. It makes sense, pounding jets of water working over your muscles. .. . ..I just dunno. Think I'll start a new thread on it.

May do nuttin' fer me muscles, but our social lives may explode........ :rolleyes:

Em--We had a hot tub at our former house. We ended up giving it to our son when we moved last year because it was on the deck and here we don't have a deck (we have a back/side porch) and have no plans for one.

I think you and W would find it very helpful for your sore muscles. You can position the jets to take full advantage of them and there's nothin like sitting in the hot, bubbling water when it's cold (or even snowing) out side. I think you'd love it! The kids, too.

Get one big enough for 6, though because you're right about your social life :P ......put in a hot tub, and they will come...... :lol:

Julie!!!....you traitor!!!

Hee!

FACEBOOK! Julie, isn't it great? We've got a Psilly friendship circle started! :);)

YES! All Sillies not there should report to Facebook stat! We could take over with wacklness and mispelled words :lol:

You know I was in a silly mood yesterday and I felt like writing in the "religion" and "political views" section something like....the religion of LOVE, or power to the people political party, but I didn't :lol:

Nothing says party like a hot tub :lol: Sounds like phun!

Kids have a habit of sitting in chairs on their knees, thus they are usually leaning over the table or desk. So if they are told to sit on their (BACK ) pockets, it's nicer than telling them to sit on their butts.

Lisa! I love the sit on your pockets thing, it's very cute. Going to use that with my 3 yr old niece :)

Bunnie Bobbit? Nobody tell my boyfriend...... :ph34r:

:lol:

Ah, sometimes it is a challenge to be a guy here in sillyville. :rolleyes:

Sorry Peter!!! There is an overflow of estrogen in Sillyville, we need some more testosterone to balance it out :lol:

I also have an unexpected visitor tonight. Landen is sleeping at my house,

Omgosh Amanda, I am so glad you and John were home last night to take Landon.

Thanks for this info, Patti..........I only wish you could test-drive one for three or four post-workouts.... . . . :rolleyes:

Got me bag ready (swimming cozzy, towel, bottle of bubbly ;) )

Yes!! Nikki's heading over! Do you currently have any huge, festering blisters on yer feet? I think the bromide in the water and the "gentle jet" setting is phab for such heinosities.

And superb for post-surgery trauma! Uterusless Jess and New-knee Janet, there'll be spots fer you and you can direct the jets where they're needed.....Soooooozie must sit and have the jets firing onto her gimpy back...... . .. Bev! you can blast yer PICC area........Patti - - yer enzymes could be targeted (but I think they're perfect now, correct?).

Okay, what can we fix in my tub for PeOter, Amanda, Lisa, Julie, Judy, Ptaoughmghmn, Ryan....who am I missing??.......Bunnie and Laura........

Mygawd.... ... that's it. I need a fifteen-seater.......... :wacko:

Hi Sillies-

Well Landen did sleep through the night. Jen is making Becky leave for good. Its a good thing, since they do not need that extra stress in their lives either. Landen was a bit confused waking up in a different place but he took it in stride and was happy to see us.

Jen is not going in to work tonight she called off, saying the whole Becky drama has made her stomach upset and she just feels she needs a night to herself. I cannot agree more. Becky has caused a lot of drama this summer and Jen was stuck in the middle since it is her relative.

John and I had taken a few weeks to ourselves and didnt watch Landen as much since August 1st, we would pick up an evening here and there. We will go back on a full schedule now though and since he is sleeping so much better since he is in a crib in our house that totally works.

So Landen will return tomorrow evening and once again next weekend. Jen will start moving on Oct. 1st. My mom is going to keep Landen overnight while we help Jen move. So between us looking to move, her actually moving the next few months are busy busy busy!

Sorry about your trip Laura, but it is rather crappy around here. You made a good choice. You'll just have to make the next trip EXTRA special.

I have a yard full of debre to drag to the street. Annie took some pictures of home and the beach and I try to post them when she gets back from the beach with her camera... (translation, I will have her post the pictures and I'll watch her do it.). It's really interesting how impressive "just" a tropical storm can be.

Mygawd! We're gettin' some Hanna up here, as well..... . . rainin' BUCKETS.

It's not raining men. This is fortunate, as men can cause extensive roof and structural damage, and house insurance does not cover property destruction from projectile homo sapiens......

:lol::rolleyes:

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
