:lol::lol: (*snort*!!!)..... sometimes I think I was MORE sensible when I was fifteen :unsure: ..... I seem to be gettin' PSILLIER the older I get!! :ph34r:

That's one advantage to getting older!!! :lol::lol: You don't have to give a damn hoot about how you appear to people.....you're too old to be "shy" and don't embarass as easily. For myself, I have accepted the fact that I am never going to be a 1)beauty queen 2)klassy and so-fist-uh-kated 3)concerned with fashion 4)anyone but who I am ..... and if someone doesn't like it they can stuph it. I like me........just as I am (thank Gawd, I'm too tired, too old, too whatever to fix it now!!) :lol:

I, for one, am VERY glad for the silly psillies!

Alright. I've had a very long, difficult week. Came home late most days. This means I've got a weeks worth of dishes in the sink, and at least a cat's worth of fur all over my floor.

I expect to be scolded soundly if I'm here any time in the next two hours (and lightly reprimanded if I show up within three..).

Judy, just saw this post. I was thinking about you today and I'm so glad to hear you had a good appt. This doc sounds like a real winner, glad he took the time with you. Hopefully he will get to the bottom of things

You guys have me giggling over the Penis museums in Texas....because yes, natch, everything is so much bigger in Texas

Thanks Julie..starting a new abx to see if it helps...lets cross our fingers and toes. Told him the GI was 'gone' ;)

Hi all

sunny day here but chilly

Patti has a new assignment to hunt up the P nuseums in Tx.

HA bet Mark is happier in Texas as we all know things are bigger there.....as it's been said here before :o

Good Morning, Gang!

'Tis a day of laundry, of cleaning, of prep for DD's after-the-fact birthday party (nine fifteen-year-old girls descending - - hold me tight) . .. ....they will all squeeze into the ho'tub, shrieking and splashing. I think I will try to get in with them.

Need you here for my large laundry piles........sigh. . . . ..

God Em and Patti and Nikki and obsession with laundry.

I guess i need to go some where to get some clothes dirty other than 'garden dirt'

Mark's new favorite expression...... :lol:

I hear ya on the laundry, girlphriend.....I had all of our travelling laundry PLUS two weeks of dirty clothes from Mark's lil' corporate apartment...... <_< Someone's obviously never heard of a laundromat.....

me thinks you have a laundry fetish. :lol: yep what's a laundry mat.........my son calls from one on

Sundays.......... :( wish i could send him a set but can't hook up in the apt

I'm making some headway--the company sent a very nice girl over yesterday afternoon to help me unpack and get rid of the excess boxes and paper. That was a huge help, since I was all alone literally "boxed" into a corner :lol:

I have me Berk's on and me pheet are so happy :D

patty got a helper to help unpack...........you lucky duck........

and your Berk's on.............now those 2 events = HAPPY

Um - is it still morning, Sills? :unsure: methinks not......I got up early, starting watching a movie, went back to bed, slept until noon :ph34r:

It was delish

and.......I had this dream - OMG - - I moved into a very dark, depressing, and large house.....no fence for Weez and squirrels and raccoons running wild on the streets......filthy kitchen coated with sticky glutenized food remains on everything :huh: (this may have to do with the disgusting "wine glass" I was holding at a pub last night - they had none left as they'd all broken on St. Pat's day and so - it was actually a sticky water goblet :gag: ) Very ugly coloUrs and a depressing dark orange carpet........I was crying at living in this place in my dream....

but in this house, the prior owner had left really huge, large display objects I had to unload, and I was so overwhelmed at the thought of it that I cried....for example, a six-foot tall bottle of Harley Davidson wine :blink: Too heavy to carry and too rancid to drink, yet somehow I had to get all of this stuff out of there, or move, and the thought of both made me cry....

what does it mean? it this from the Phallus Museum? Or Padt moving to Texas? :lol:

Need Leesargh to do dream analysis for me :(

My fall back job, if grad school didn't work out, was always herding sheep in Wales..

:blink: was she serious about this? I could move to Wales, but no herding of sheep - too hard and cold

apt did go well. He gets me for sure. He'll write my 25 year history to give to a new Dr. Told him i fired the GI. Said she tested me for everything......no answers but all tests OK............anxiety it is........

Judith! is this good news or bad? wasn't sure what you meant exactly

TEA - goose poop! :lol: my gawd it is disgusting and copious......just keep yer shoes on whilst walking yer grounds

adn Padt's in Texas doing laundry with her Berks on!!!!!!!! Well now, why WOULD Mark clean his clothing when he had the Laundress Extraordinaire arriving to take care of it <_<

Jules with packing for two weeks for just two days - gawd, know it well *gulp*

HI NIKERLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just what kind of work will y'all be doing.....?

Emm - how's it going in the ho'but??? (<---- I just reversed the letters and decided to leave it :lol: ) Are ya hanging out w/ the 15-year-olds? dear gawd....I think you SHOULD put the crutch tip in there, and see if they pay any attention to it.....my guess is no one would give it a second thought.......so - I think you have to put summat in there that would just BOGGLE their wee minds :lol:what could it be???? The Man Head would have been good, only I believe he's staying wif yer friend?

I'm back from the store and I have ice cream AND potato chips.....full-sized bag.....it is highly possible I could finish a significant portion of both today.......am thinking of taking the chips over to Perfect Neighbor's house - - she will not be able to REMOTELY conceive of the idea of having no self control - - I do recall that one night, in a drunken party over here wiht a few friends (I think it was in the month of December, 2007), I rang her up to see if she had any chocolate or treats as......we could nae drive to the store. :ph34r:

She had bags of candy left over from Halloween.......... :o

Trying to think how this could possibly happen.....just can't get my wee dingo brain around it :lol:

But when I take care of her dog, I always see that there are many leftover, lingering bags of things (and bottles of wine) that she never touches.......

Yes, that infamous crutch-tip. I will have you all know that I told the entire crutch-tip-found-in-the-ho'tub story to the shuttle van driver that was working at our hotel in Toronto. Yep, the whole thing....how it was lying in the bottom of the tub after we drained it in the spring, and no crippled/disabled people anywhere near our house. . . . ....he was an older man, and just stared at me.

BUT, as he was driving us down Dundas Street, a lady with crutches crossed slowly in front of us.

"Hey", the driver suddenly piped up, "was it like one o' those tips?" And it was NOT - - these tips were BLACK, and the errant tip in my tub was BRICK-COLOURED, as you all recall. Our driver then began to argue that there has never been brick-coloUred crutch tips. :huh:

I mean, vehemently insisting, as if I were lying, or somehow coloUr-blind, or delusional.

Was he some crutch-tip afficionado?? So bizarre.....I kept insisting, and so did he. Nope. No such thing. Never has been.

He was SO certain, he actually had me second-guessing myself. .. . ...is it really brick-coloured? Is it more a dark brown, or grEY?

SO: I am emailing him a photo of my tip, as told him I would. It is SOOOOOO brick-coloUred.

Motre brick-coloUred than a brick, methinks.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Just wanted to highlight this passage again.......have put the things in red that reeeeeeeeeeeeeelly make me larph and larph :lol: :lol: x 100

and LOVE the fact that a woman on crutches passes by, and they actually discuss the colours of crutch accoutrements

Thanks, Bunny, but I've tried just about everything. Dried blood, check. Moth balls, check. Irish Spring soap, check. Human hair....check. Very expensive Liquid Fence....several times....the smell makes me want to barf, and it lingers a while, but does NOT last for 3 months. The deer just laugh and munch away. I can't afford to spend that kind of money for weekly spraying of an acre of gardens. I have not yet coerced Telehubby to mark his territory. I know it works for skunks and other pests, but I'm not sure it'd work for deer. Just think of the VOLUME we'd need! Besides that, I'm playing in the dirt almost daily from spring until snowfall.....can't say I like the idea of handling THAT! :lol::lol:

I'll keep researching and trying stuff. Who knows? I will NOT put up an 8' fence around the property (would look kinda tacky, and rob me of much needed light), and I really don't want to put mini fences around all of my plants.....One of these days a real brainstorm will hit me, hopefully not a lightning bolt.

HEY!! We need Joooodeee and her Orange Jug!! She fills a week's worth at a time - - crap, that'd cover Tareeeesuh's entire front AND back lot!

Forgot to mention that my neighbors have dogs.....3 of them. They do have a fence around the back yard for the dogs to play, and they have gardens (and birdfeeders.....so lucky to have them for my neighbors!). The deer do jump over their fence and snak on those plants.....even with dog urine and feces about. Apparently that does not deter them either.

*SNRKxzzzz*...Bunny! I can't really picture me squatting here and there in the yard to pee! It would have to be when its dark....and it's still so cold I would not even be able to! (Maybe in the summer :D ). The old bladder would just shut down...."uh uh baby...it's frikken kold out here" :D:D

TREESUH!!!!!!!!!!! Judith's orange yer-ine jugs, THAT IS THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!! I am quite sure she can ship them to you!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Hell, maybe all sillies can pee in jugs for a week and then send it? PSILLIES PULL TOGETHER WHEN NEEDED!!!!!!

I certainly am not modest, would pee all over yer yard. ;) Just pay for me plane ticket, I'll give you a week's worth of wee. would that be cheaper than sprayin that expensive stuff all over yer yard??? You just need to feed and house me, with one dingo and one Kitteh :wub: We are very charming and will provide you with tons of entertainment. And Weezee LOVES her some deer, saw them at our friends' house in Monterey phrequently.....

what about a nice, wire screen fence, the kind they had in Monterey, with wooden posts and.....did it have wood beams on top? can't remember.....was quite nice looking, as I recall, did not obfuscate the forest beyond it.....

So my crappy day at work culminated on Thursday with me sitting in my boss's office legs and arms crossed, pouty-mad expression on my face half whining, half complaining about having to work with that horrible female in the other room.

Today I started wondering what it would be like to work in a place where people don't have hissy fits, make unreasonable demands, and have to be cajoled into collaborating with a coworker. :lol: :lol:

I fantasize that that's what the real world is like....

      Don't skimp on the gluten daily while undergoing the gluten challenge!  
    • RDLiberty
      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!
