What you need is a son that will wear 10 pairs of pants and 14 shirts every week . . . he does try to make up for it though, by wearing only one pair of underwear!!!

Mygawd.....this must cross the realm of Son-dom the world over - - the Ripper is exactly like this. He's A BOY.....why does he go through five outfits a day??? And yes. . . .. not many pairs of undies. . . .. ... <_<:rolleyes:

. . . he wrote a song, played it on his gee-tar and sang (quite well) and it was heelarryus. It's on a video tape somewheres. I should ask to see it next time at her house.

You could be very surprised, Jeeah-gnitt: punch his name into a youtube search . . .. you may not need to send Bev over there. . . . . . .. :huh::lol:

Cannot stop looking at that heart-wrenching avatar of Soooozie's. . . :wub: Li'l P curled into the crook of Weezie's bum, his little face burrowed in for warmth.....

MYGAWD!!! :wub::wub: CANNOT STAND IT!!!

Wonder how our Pahdeee is faring. .. .. . . ...do you think she's cried yet? :unsure:

Of course she has. ... . ....

I kept reading Teereesa's posts (via Gmail) and had to poop in too. She has such a way with words!

OMG-Freaky Best Man is hee-larious!

Glad to see Auntie Judy back..... :D

Thinking about Paddeigh...goodbyes are So hard but I always try to remind myself that they wouldn't be hard if you never loved. For Gad's sake, I cried when I left England, never mind my sons. ((((((HUGS Paddeigh))))

Em...glad Dad is hanging tough. :wub:

Janet....thinking about your mom. :wub:

Wow Bevvie--it all sounds so wonderphul.....except the part where you phlew through the air and skidded down the road! :o My gawd--I'm just so relieved you're ok!

Glad yer back :D

It was a GREAT GREAT trip. A wee bit of post-trip depression sinking in. Plotting how I can get paid to travel (write? photograph?).

Tareeeesuh, I must commend you....I'm so sorry about you still being sick. I'd have never known, as you are so positive, phunny and hilarious. You and Bev inspire me, as do all others who quietly deal with their illnesses and stay happy. . ....

You GO, Grrrrrrrl!! :):)

Em :wub: :wub:

Some days the only way to survive and get through it to find the positives....and as much silly as possible. I am so very grateful for all of you.....

I think I need a little nap....just a short one, you understand....tho' what the brain WANTS to do is go play outside! Talk to y'all later...

Nap tight.....I hear ya. Sweet dreams to you!!!!!!

The goonies, me sis and da are coming over. Gotta finish watching Love in the Time of Cholera (the movie is GOOD!)

MYGAWD!!! :wub::wub: CANNOT STAND IT!!!

:lol: TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!!!!!! we are just sick with love and cuteness over here :lol:

This whole experience was just unbelievable, but with such a happy ending, and my babies are in love :wub: BTW the vet bill was only $200 instead of $800, I could not afford that and had to make one of the hardest decisions in my life - I have NEVER denied my pets full care. :( (remember, I paid a couple thousand for chemo for my beloved Stinker) so - I left LITTLE PSILLY TROOPER PEANUT there, with many friends and loved ones praying, and he made it.

:):):) x 1 million

BTW, my stepfather, the kindest man (they have three cats with whom they are obsessed) said he INSISTS on paying for any care that I cannot afford should anything ever happen again. *sniff*

:) :gratefulsnivelingsmile:

The goonies, me sis and da are coming over. Gotta finish watching Love in the Time of Cholera (the movie is GOOD!)

Loved yer whole post, Bevel :) have fun with the Goonies et al! BTW how is your dad getting along wif Angus2 ?

oh - Paddeigh's goodbyes - - I can't stand it :( Be strong, darling Padt!

Shall we all pray together and focus our thoughts that those boys just decide to UP AND MOVE to Texas????? :rolleyes:

OK...count me in!!! :D We need to figger out a way for a group to travel together....tropical climes in the winter...we're allowed to do the northern climes in summer. Of course...working in all of these locales would make it difficult to decide on vacation spots! :lol::lol: And of course...there has to be room for pets and families (notice I put the pets first?) All we need to do now is decided what we're doing and how to get paid for it! Several of us can write/photograph, somebody does lectures...hmmmmm what else?

:huh::rolleyes:

flourgirl Apprentice

Well, yes Leeza... sign language is imperative to include those who cannot hear...we definitely need to invite them to our lectures (and you can teach me while we're on the road). We DO need scuba people, too for those types of pics. And Bev-really....editors are a must for those who are writing! Of course, of course!! :lol::lol:

Evening Sillies-

so much to comment on--

Susie so glad Peanut is doing well. Love the new av. I would say puppy love but its kitty/puppy love :)

Patti- such an emotional time indeed. We are here for you, (((HUGS))) I suppose you are back from NY by now. We both traveled on I-81 Saturday, maybe we passed each other!

I spent the weekend with my family. It was nice. My sister is 2 months away from her baby's arrival.

It is 3 months from the big FL trip to take my mom on a mini-vacation! Exciting!

Oh No TreeSuh!!! What have you done??!!!

PsooZeigh got a kitteh for her puppers and now she'll have to get a fawn for her kitteh . . . then she'll have to get a bunny for the fawn . . . Where in Sam Hill is she gonna keep all these animals???

OMG this was my Monday morning laugh! Lovin It!

Sillies- I am here at work again--feels like I was just here! Weekends should be 3 days! Oh Queen can we arrange something?

John is home sick again with stomach pains--it has been happening quite frequently in the last months kinda getting worried about him, he was told the first time it was the stomach flu, at first I thought it was gas pains, cause that can be unbearable...but it seems to keep coming back. What keeps coming up in the back of my mind is that 3 years ago when he was at the oncologist they ran this one lab test by mistake--I want to say it was a CEA level, which is a colon cancer marker and it came back high....so they assured him it was a fluke, I did research and found that smoking can elevate that level and at the time he was smoking....it just scares me. He says he hasn't had any change in the bathroom and all but what else could explain the pains....I am just worried...

Amanda! I remember you talking about plans for this trip with your mom. I would love to do this with me mom, but I do believe it's too late - -I think she's just too old now for a big trip. So it is GREAT that you're doing this now!! :)

your daughter isn't...

Manda, stomach pains could be something as simple as stress, or food. Are you guys keeping a food /stress events diary?

Oh no! It's Doktor PseussLittle!!! :o "If I could talk to the animals, walk with the animals"hmm- hm-hm-hm-hmmmmm

I used to dream of just such a thing. Wouldn't it be kool to have a huge reserve....natural habitats, filled with animals that come running/hopping/flying to see you the minute you get to their area! A wetlands, woodlands, open-range area..... I guess it's still a pretty kool dream :D

flourgirl Apprentice

Oh yeah, phorgot the Hugahmongous gardens and natural park area, at least one small lake, greenhouses for propagating plantings of naturally occuring plant species....

flourgirl Apprentice

uuhhhh.....maybe what we need is a Gluten Free Commune that includes all of these things, and supports ourselves with trips to photograph and write about other things, in between photo-ing and writing and lecturing about our own place.....how WILD all of that could be!!!! :lol::lol:

Don't mind me...I'm just amusing myself while you're all away :unsure:

Must mention- yesterday in the warm weather John and I took a stroll through the back yard to assess it's potential and all the work we need to do to it. I have decided I am going to have a garden this year- My first ever! I am going to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and hopefully lettuce. I want some sunflowers by the porch and in the front of the house I am going to plant flowers. I am so excited!

Anyone have any good tips for me?

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.
    • trents
      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
