Hey all- Pa-Pooping in quickly. Just came home from Jen's we started unpacking and had dinner over there out on her deck, it was nice, we got her kitchen pretty well unpacked. Maybe more tomorrow night...and it is getting chilly outside.

Oh and boy am I going to bury my face for this....I went to Old Navy and purchased items at the 14.92 sale.....Yep- spent 29 bucks and got me 5 new tops.....I bought 3 tanks and 2 light long sleeve shirts and pulled off the "layered" look today. Manda is stylin!!!!

Nice score, Amanda! And these are clothes that have never been worn by anyone else! A rare treat for me, Ms. Sally Anne Diva herself......

And you've used almost 100 words here, Amanda.. . . ...we're almost at day's end - - would you say you've used up your token 7,000? I am absolutely certain that I have. . . ..... :lol:

Erica,

Maybe everybody else has gone to bed. I'm sure Nikki has, and I will be following soon. :rolleyes:

Skaught is is a psilly fonetic spelling of Scott, and refers to the board administrator, Scott Adams (username admin). :blink:

... us history is drowning me

US history is a fascinating area of study. The US has been in existence for 232 years, but has been involved in so many armed conflicts during that time. The US has had the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Viet Nam, among other conflicts.

Pick a war, study it, and write about it. I personally find WW II the most interesting of the lot, but the Civil War is more complex from the US view (as opposed to the world view of WW II).

But then, "History is just one damn thing after another." I phorget who said that. B)

Nothing silly to add tonight. I'm off to bed. :)

..........if that were my brohter and me, at that age, it would end in a smackdown...... :unsure:

I never got into fights with my brother that I recall, but there was always the backseat conflict on car trips.......you know, that imginary line down the middle....."You're on MY side of the seat!"

Lisa (curly fries)....let s know what transpires with your daughter :( ....does she have symptoms of Lupus??

If I remember rightly it's not a definitive test?? :unsure: (hubby had it - is it ANA or summat??)

She has complained of her joints hurting. She has diagnosed anxiety and depression...and of course the rash. A couple years ago she had some urinary issues and I believe they found a low white cell count....not sure, must double check with her on that.

I don't know how reliable the biopsy test is. The blood test is ANA, according to my research, and a positive ANA doesn't always mean you have lupus, for instance, if you have an infection or are taking certain meds.

Thanks everyone for your concern.....will keep you posted.

... sadly, i wrote about myself <_< and, uh, how learning bout this deaf (& other disabilities) school got my interested in working w/kids w/disabilities...

A noble occupation :D ......you missed my signing lessons back in July :P

Great eyebrow story!

Amanda.....good luck on the house!

History.......uugghhhh!

Julie.....expecting a puppy av soon!

Later, Psillies!!

Morning ALL!! :D

Probably half way through my 7000 thousand words already :rolleyes: (loooong..but boring..phonecall wiv devil child's tutor :rolleyes: ......don't ASK..suffice to say he's NOT there - he's at HOME, grounded ....same old <_< )

OMGAAAAWD!!!...my son's tutor!!!...he is the exception to the male 1700 words :rolleyes:

He is Canadian (but I don't hold that against him ;) ) and he waffles UNnecessarily ON & ON for Enland AS WELL as Canada .....shhheesh!!... I want to scream STOP!!!!! I get the picture!!!!!!!

:lol:

Another dull and grEy day...the eyebrowLESS one had his T.B test this morning.....I'm sure the nurse kept looking :unsure: ...he was MOST brave :D

Glad Julie's Cocker meet and greet went well!! ;)

Patti's singed eyebrows lighting a cig off the stove :lol: ...lost an ENTIRE fringe doing that :lol::lol:

GADS!!...BTW....since giving up the smokes *I* have turned into one of those insufferable converts that I promised I would NEVER be :rolleyes:

After my friend (who smokes) had been round my house I realised with HORROR and DISMAY that the fleece jacket I was wearing was indeedin the path of her vile smoke..on the back of the chair she was sitting on!

..dear GOD!!! :o ....it was all I could DO not to whip the jacket from behind her (whilst making LOUD coughing noises) and hang that jacket on the washing line to air it!!!!

..I in fact waited 'til she left :rolleyes:

I'm SUCH a hypocrit :lol:

Morning Sillies-

There was frost on my car this morning---you had to scrape the windshield, wipers didn't work.....sign of the season I supose!

Another day of brand new clothes- I did mention how last weekend I broke down and bought two pairs of khakis at Kohls. It feels odd to have new items....I am such a dork!

So nothing new to report--Carry on

We are Super-duper close to a new crowning too!@

Hi Erica- I go to bed by 11:30 on work nights, hopefully I'll catch you on next time :)

Erica, the next time you need a quick paper written full of academic musings and facts, Oracle PeOter is your guy. :rolleyes:

That had to have been Churchill - - he said everything. :)

Mornin' sillies :D

Jeeze, I got nuthin.....cold this AM, but sunny. Em--"early boids" :P you write like I tawk :lol:

Did I tell you guys that the gastro is treating moi empirically for miscroscopic colitis? Seems to be going well so far, but I have to continue for 6 weeks. I love that she doesn't label me with "IBS" and tell me to "stay away from things that make me ill". Refreshing as hell, I tell ya!! :rolleyes:

I just have this nagging feeling that possibly there is a reason for all the additional intolerances--I mean, there HAS to be, right? Keep your phingers crossed ;)

Lisa-Do keep us posted on yer daughter. :)

PeOter--woids of wisdom, fer sure. You would get along well wif Mark--he's a history buff, too. Loves to read of WW2, and many other things I'm sure you would find interesting.

Amanda--a goil after me own 'art wif all the new clothes B) I'm weak in that respect--I love clothes and shoes and dear gawd, handbags. So shoot me :lol:

Well.....the last time I had it cut (right before I met Em), it was half curly (on top) and half straight (on the bottom). I got all the straightened part cut off, but that meant cutting it shorter than I normally would have with lots of layers.

Now, I've been growing it out since July, so I have more to work with :P I'm thinking of leaving the sides the length they are (about even wif the base of me jaw) and having the back cut to that same length wif layers in the back.

Whaddya think?

And our sans-eyebrow Alan--that has got to give you a start when he walks into the room :lol: Eyebrows are one of those things we don't think about much until they're not there. (giggle)

Don't have a joke, but I did hear from an old friend from Jersey today :D She and I worked together and became friends. She and her family actually live right near my son......it was so nice to catch up! Made me a little homesick fer Joisey there for a few minutes..... :rolleyes:

I must say I LOVE Cloris in pretty much everything she acts in, but it is awkward watching her on DWTS....she has toned it down a little I noticed and has been on a little bit of a tighter leash so to speak, but still kinda crazy.

I bet she gets to stay another week since Misty is out <_<

:lol: SQUICKY! A tremendous word. What does this mean? Nauseated? Nervous? The feeling you get when you look over a cliff?

Actually, I must share this: When I was a very small child, I inadvertently coined a phrase that has become part of my family lexicon . . . we use it regularly, and it is rooted now in our clan history. I was standing with my parents up in the Gatineau Hills, looking over a very steep cliff. I stepped quickly back and said, "I can't stand there and look down for very long . . . it makes my bum crinkle". . . ..... :lol::rolleyes:

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
