Evening sillies

much updating this evening...where to start where to start

Well the computer war at work was won today. We got the new computers, and they have widescreen monitors.....boy did we make out, we got the cadilac of computers lol

My mom has a new christmas angel in her home this evening. He is 1yr old and blonde hair blue eyes, named Christopher. According to my mom he resembles Landen with just a bit less hair. I did get a phone picture from my sis tonight, he looks like a doll. So now he and Brooklyn will spend Christmas @ moms. very fun with lil ones at this time.

We are getting some nasty weather tomorrow.....ice ice and more ice! I am dreading every bit of it.

Saturday we are heading to NYC, John and I and my coworker and her hubby. We are going to spend the day and do Central Park, see the big Christmas Tree, do the Statue of Liberty and hoepfully Chinatown, plus we want to see the 9/11 memorial.

My coworker was discharged from the hospital on Friday and had to go home with a drain tube, she was scheduled to have it out Monday. Monday came and she had it out. Today she came in for a CT Scan and then we heard them say they were putting the drain back in. Next I know, my coworker said they still found infection and she was being readmitted.She had the surgery 2 weeks ago today....and has had nothing but problems since....scary!

I think we are going to skip the decorating at our house this year, with the move so soon after Christmas, it seems like a big hassle. We migh string a few inside lights but I am not even sure about getting a tree.

Well now it is time to finish up laundry.

It feels like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders, I did the decorating, got my cards off, and finished my present shopping. Just have to wrap them and plan the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day menus, but I am way ahead of the game this year......for once (usually I am way behind)....and it's a great feeling.

How is everybody else today?

I....um....bought myself a new sweater.... :ph34r:

MORNING FESTIVE PSILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHH!!!!...my microwave has died :( ....what will I DO???????

What does it mean???

More cleaning on the agenda (hall windows,blinds...hang twinkly lights @ window) but t'is only a tiny window...won't take long

Also waiting in for the electrician/builders....am having an extractor fan put in the bathroom.......definitely NO ballcocks...but maybe a large tool???? :unsure:

OH!! My ads at the bottom say...

Wood venetian blinds and

SWAROVSKI xmas tree......mmmm, sounds interesting! <going back to see what it looks like!!>

sillies - am positively vomitous - not from beverages - - from VAST quantities of birthday/premenstrual junk food binges (nearly a whole bag of barbecue chips AND half a bag of nuggets)

I'm curious....when you say a whole bag...how much is IN the bag??? I would easily get through a bag of crisps and MUCH more :P

Our 'standard' bags hold 25g.

Hair got fixed today - fairly glorious now but - it's back to brown, pretty much :blink: I kind of love it but.......quite a harrowing and expensive procedure to get here :angry:

HOORAY!!! ...but yes, t'was a trauma getting there!!!.....do NOT EVER go back there!!! :angry:

What's yer new read, Janet? Just finished The Lovely Bones. I managed to stick with it.... . a trememndous read, but one of the toughest I've faced. Not for the faint of heart - -particularly agonizing, at first, for those with young daughters.. . . ...

What's everybody reading?

I liked 'Lovely Bones' but a tear jerker!!! (I LIKE a book to move me to tears :blink: )

I am currently reading 'The forgotten Garden' by Kate Morton ........must confess, not alot of time to read lately

I....um....bought myself a new sweater.... :ph34r:

Well done Jess!!!! A good warm jumper is a necessity :lol:

UM, Janet???.....I think the last post for international mail was last week :unsure:

Psssssshhhhhhhhaaaaauuuuuggghhhhhh . . . 25 measly grams . . . the bag of crisps I just brought home has 336 grams . . . that's our standard size. You have the "single serving" size to go in a lunch box. They do make a "family size" which is considerably bigger than the 336g . . . Suezzee, was it a family size bag of crisps?

UM, Janet???.....I think the last post for international mail was last week :unsure:

Nik's microwave has died. . . . .and I know why.

It is the 11th.

:rolleyes:

OMG. . . . ...It was more than tear-jerking for me....it was agonizing at times. The writing so beautiful - - lyrical and poignant, yet descriptions of things so horrific. .. ..I struggled a great deal. Interesting that everyone to whom I have spoken who has reacted to the book in such an extremely emotional way has at least one young daughter.

Boy, I find myself now looking long and beseechingly at Sophie. . .. ..worrying, wondering. . .. .It will pass, I know....(gad, I HOPE). . . .. . . :huh:

Enufffffff pseriousness!!!!!

I'm not sure what it has to do with microwaves, but indeed, today is December 11, which is a most significant date indeed for Canadians. Today is the 77th anniversary of what is, in my opinion, the most significant event in Canadian political history. It actually took place in the UK, and affected more than just Canada.

I agree wif Htawmn . . . I would've guess "chuffed" to have a differnt meaning.

It took me a while to figger this out....I thought who in the world is "Htawmn"? Was this a new Silly that I just didn't know about or met yet? Did somebody give a name the llama? Maybe it was code for yeti or the bugler? Or maybe I missed another nickname for Sam Hill??

Then I got it :lol:

Ugh so exhausted today & I've barely done anything. :angry: Feels like if I even TRY to do a few things I'll be too tired to work later. :(

I hate talking about crappy days. :angry:

I suppose the bright side is that current crappy is nowhere near the crappy of the past?????

Poopy Cow Tom!!!!!!! Well good news the current crappy is nowhere near the crappy of the past, hope you got rested and refreshed!

positively vomitous

:vomitface:

Feel quite barphish

menstrually and over-binged vomitociousness

I just highlighted a few of the key points from your post....are you feeling ok there?!?!?!

Well at least your hair is glorious!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you feel better today SOOZE!!!!

Yay Em, glad you stuck with it. I don't know if I could with such tough subject matter. I tell you, a book like Kite Runner just made we weep and weep and weep, but so incredibly rewarding.

I am embarrassed to say I am still reading Love in the Time of Cholerra, well reading is not really accurate, more like staring at it from across the room as it calls out to me "I am half way read, you need to finish me!" At this rate I don't know if I will ever git er dun.

I have several books on tap too, Angels and Demons, Simple Genius, and Atonement.

My mom has a new christmas angel in her home this evening. He is 1yr old and blonde hair blue eyes, named Christopher. According to my mom he resembles Landen with just a bit less hair. I did get a phone picture from my sis tonight, he looks like a doll. So now he and Brooklyn will spend Christmas @ moms. very fun with lil ones at this time.

Sounds like a little angel :wub:

I have a 'cute' to pass on. My boss (MD,PhD) was telling me that his son's (5 or 6) favorite toy was something that changed the color of dyes based on pH. I started laughing and said something like "Your poor kids were doomed form birth". He replied that his daughter (3 1/2) was very much into princesses, although, she did recently say she wanted to be a doctor to princesses...

those kids are in for a lifetime of nerdliness

I also realized it's weird to hear the word "princesses" come out of your bosses mouth :blink:

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
