This has been a challenge for us, too, in recent years.

I'm using my notebook on the couch with the TV muted. CNN is showing the "highlights" of 2008. That should take about 28 seconds. :o

When they get to the lowlights, well, there may not be enough time left in the year to hit all of them.

2009 is going to be better. It can't be any worse. B)

And, yes, rabbits can be trained to use a litter box. Cats can too, although I understand that occasional mishaps are possible with both species. Jess, watch your step! ;)

HEEEEEYYYYY, PASILLLLIEEEEEESSS!!

Am NOT drunk....but I had, for the first time, a MOJITO, followed by my first COSMO.

OMG. Thank gawd I gave myself extra insulin........so much sugar, it's unbelievable. But they were delicious.

By about 10:30, I was telling the six other couples at this gathering ALLLLLLL about Sam Hill Manhead, the entire mystery, how it gripped us through the final couple of months of 2008.

:huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh:<_<

(That last face is Will, who knows full well the whole story, but is rather tired of it and....well....perhaps embarrassed? I cannot imagine.....).....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Spent the evening at our friend's house .........a yearly tradition. It's always a good time......fun games, plenty of food, and lively conversation :)

There was only one thing that was slightly annoying........anytime someone mentioned my weight loss, my friend would yell, "That's because she doesn't eat anything!" All she knows is what my restrictions are.......she is never around to see me eat. She is struggling with her own weight right now, and I think she's a bit jealous. <_<

......and btw......I had shrimp, raw veggies, and tortilla chips :P

Check out Open Original Shared Link

Check out 1 and 11 :lol:

:lol:

Coincidence?.........I think not! :lol::lol::lol:

.....and me favorite number.....7.....is chocolate! :P

Can someone tell me why boobs are in the same group as storms, black holes, etc.?

Did you know bunnies can be litter-box trained? I'm so excited! I told my boyfriend we're gonna have one someday.

My son had a litter trained bunny. They usually pick a favorite corner of the cage to do their business, so that's where you put the litter tray.

Edit: Took away my fantabulous birthday greeting to Ptaughmnus <_< .........see next post. <liarliarpantsonfire>

So Ptaoughmn..........when is the eventful day? :huh:

      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. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      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.
