Well, thank gawd that, according to Jack anyway, those six trillion bacteria are on our feet, not on our arms - -otherwise, you'd be in a heap of PICC trouble, Bevel!

That is so crappy.....more heinous skin stuff for our lymie...... .. . :angry:

Soozie! This gardener's twenty-minute disappearance into his van . . ..... . .... . ..what in hell? How fascinating..... . . was the vehicle....um....moving at all? Like, back and forth, or circularly? Were there any.....noises coming from within? Did he look the same when he reappeared? Where was Stepford during this interlude?

Hmmmm. .. . . . . ..... . . ...must ponder this.. . . .. . ..

Hmmmm. .. . . . . ..... . . ...must ponder this.. . . .. . ..

:lol: :lol:

Okay please note, Em, that 'twas NOT a van. It was a trailer, with a gate that comes down so the machinery can be wheeled out. Curiously, I had just fully studied the inside of it earlier, as was coveting his blower......stood transfixed, in fact, as I stared at it and wondered if it had just too much power for the average citizen (me) to use.

So.....I did see the inside of this trailer......nothing but tools and equipment. Not even a bench or seat. I really expected a huge waft of marijuana smoke to come out when he was done (he works with his 13-y-old son so clearly had to hide his surreptitious activities). I walked out to smell it. Alas....none.

When we had our conversation, it was quite curious......he was sullen and unfriendly......VERY uncharacteristic. I asked if I could write him a cheQUE (for $10), as had done many times in the past. he was silent for many seconds and said no, he wants cash. :unsure:

See, there really WAS a dead body in there cartel going on.......I KNEW IT! :lol:

Welp, PICC commando isn't PERFECTLY safe but it's the best I can do cuz the drugs is workin goodso yes please do the "Keep the Germs Away Dance" :D

I say the Lifetime Achievement Award should go to whomever among us started substituting "ph" for "f"--it's a Sillieville classic now! B)

Phor pharking sure!!!!!!!!!!!! Or as patti would say "True dat" :lol:

:lol: mildly cracked mah own self up whilst writing.....CARTEL always makes things PHUNNIER! (well, teh phunny things, anyway :unsure: )

Bevvy - commando PICC? is this safe? :unsure: well, I guess you have no choice. Pour yer cosmo over it to disinfect.

How 'bout a Commando Cartel :P

Ah-hah! I have figured out the mystery!

The man has undiagnosed Celiac, he has a bucket in the trailer for his 'episodes', and he was suffering from brain fog and mood swings, hence his surly out-of-character reply!

Or perhaps he's just a smoker and he's tired of getting paid ten bucks a pop. What on EARTH does this guy do for ten bucks a pop?

(Note: I was only able to come up with the above scenario thanks to my boyfriend, who mows grass and keeps a bucket in his trailer for said purposes. He gets half the credit. Their crew really only uses it to pee out of sight though.)

Gads! Balloon shaped sillies with nekkid punctures and ten dollar yards.

I got three pairs of sandally type shoes. I have whiny feet that don't cotton to the average shoe, so I usually end up going to Nordstroms ($$) but at least they fit. And then I got some dressy ones at payless for 8 bucks. go figure.

Nope . . . no mojo yet . . . just gladly reading along.

HOWEVER!!!!! I must share this with me sillies.

I started a new book for book club called The Lace Reader. Listen to all of these coincidences within the first six pages . . . She's originally from North Shores (Bev). Her mom lives on Yellow Dog (Susie) Island. She now resides in California (Susie & Tom). She was just released from the hospital (Amanda) due to a hysterectomy (Jess). She admits that she lies all the time (Emily . . . well, not that "admitting" part). Lord knows what will happen next!!

      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.
