Jess, thanks for the site so we could see what your avatar is! I was straining to read the tiny print. I know my eyes are pretty bad......but gee! Great root word....but not so sure I like words like "airhead", or maybe that's right because I can't remember any of the others! :blink:

Hey guys!! Question for the day....Just how does one hoist oneself above and beyond the seasonal doldrums? When people used to ask me if I'm ready for Christmas, I always replied that it would steam roller over me whether I was ready or not :P

I avoid the shopping craze by picking things up here and there through the year....so that's not it. I've already decorated the house (as much as we're going to) so it's bright and cheery...so that's not it. I'm just not sure how to break out of this particular brown bag!

You all help, though. Thanks for being here! ;)

Sounds like you need some Vitamin D. Or a full-spectrum lamp to sit under every day.

"Did you know that Chinese herbs can treat herpetiformis dermatitis"? You'd think they'd do a little research before they tried marketing this crap. I had the "5 steps to a flat belly" too. You know what? My boyfriend likes my squishy belly!!!!! So there!!!!!

There is a new development within the family that just might keep me amused this holiday. My husband's family will be having the family celebration the Sunday after Christmas. We asked my SIL, who is hosting it this year(I know I've already said this, but..YAY!) if it would be OK if we invited my brother. He doesn't have a family or a relationship. My SIL, said yes, and wanted to invite him herself. Well.......she is single....he is single......she's always thought he was cute. It seems she has plans to put the make on him! I can't picture them together, but this makes Lisa giggle! :rolleyes::P:lol:.......I kinda feel sorry for my bro, but he's a big boy.......he can handle it!

How to hoist oneself above and beyond the seasonal doldrums?....I just realized I spelled doldrums duldrums in my last post :lol: I much rather like "dull drums" because that's how one actually feels, like dull drums beating without any life or energy to the beat, very dull :rolleyes::lol: ........... I do not know Theresa :huh: maybe take one day at a time and try not to let the stress over take you and dont sweat the small stuff, maybe try to do something that brings you joy.

If that doesn't work, maybe a drink?!?!?! :lol:

Evening Sillies-

wow did that weekend fly by, yesterday we did the touch up paint at the house plus while there we picked out the paint colors for the rooms we wanted to paint before we moved in...Yeah!!!!!

last night we decided to tackle Christmas shopping, or more so browsing since we are strapped for some cash this year, but I guess who isn't..... We went to Ollies cause buying toys there is cheaper. I am not sure any other sillies besides Patti and Judy have been to an Ollies, since I believe it is a chain in our general areas. But it is kinda of like Big Lots only much more stuff like rugs and things.

Well they had Fisher-Paykel stainless steel side by side fridges at a great price. We are going back to purchase one. They are all new in box, with the exception of the floor model. All come with a 2-yr warranty too. I love the Fisher-Paykel appliances, they are just a little pricey.

Today we bummed around a bit. Tonight is the giants game, I am working on a new puzzle John got me. So I will work on that and cheer the team on :)

Gawd Jess--yer holiday spread made me mouth water! I'm Italian, so we always had a meatless Christmas Eve. Meatless, but phar from a "fast": of any sort :P In the days leading up to Christmas Eve, my aunt and I would make about a dozen pies (literally), and christmas cookies. On the night of, we'd start wif deep fried smelt <drool> (and beer, if you were old enough--in our phamily, this meant about 13 :P) and then just tons of phood like baccala (salt cod), linguini wif clams, pasta wif squid (red) sauce, pasta fazool, antipasto, and salads. Me grandpa would make roasted chestnuts, too. We'd sit down to eat around 6 or so and not get up till it was time to get ready for midnight mass.

REALLY makes me wish I were Italian, or something interesting with strong cultural traditions but NO, we're just super-boring white people.......I don't even think I can remember a tradition, except opening one gift on Christmas eve :huh:

But Soooozie, if a twelve year-old can can sit through it four times (and she did, silently and patiently :wub: ), you absolutely can, too!

gawd, that poor Sophie - a horrifying tale..... :( But she made it! I'm not scared of the pain.....I'm scared of the freakin' COST :angry:

and YAY! A tie!!!!!!!!!! Yay Sophie!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was little. I’ve visited many doctors because my intestines have always been very reactive to food. I have chronic swelling, and I struggle to gain weight. This year has been worse than others: I started noticing fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and many digestive problems, especially after consuming products with gluten. My doctor suggested that this might be due to some imbalance of gut bacteria, so I started taking Bifidobacterium Infantis supplements. However, my symptoms have been getting worse every day. I experience nausea, frequent abdominal pain, migraines, and palpitations after eating. I had these symptoms before, but now they are more intense. I thought I might have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, so I took a home test for Celiac, and it came out negative (though there may have been an error—I was nervous and accidentally contaminated the sample with air bubbles). Based on your experiences, should I pursue further medical exams for Celiac? I’m worried about being underweight and about my blood test results, which, even if still within normal ranges, have been declining each year.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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..
