OMG SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have discovered, in our warehouse, the single grossest thing AND I am quite sure - the very source itself for every vile disease, virus, deadly infection....yes, even the evil swine flughue.......

It's our fetid string mops

:o

:unsure:

:lol: :lol:

filthier, more disgusting things I have never seen

:gag::gag:vomit::gag::gag:

must stay away........will NEVER touch it..........

in fact I may surreptitiously throw them out, and never admit to it

:lol:

:wacko:

I am feelin' the wackl, sills, I'm feelin' it

I myself have been know to do the old "presto-chango-magic-make-it-dis-appear-o"!! :lol: I firmly believe that this is within my rights with gross/disgusting paraphelia!!

Em.....hope it's a wonderful time for yous! Sounds like a good time. Prayers for your Dad, too.

Excitement for the day.....redheaded woodpeckers in the yard! They made a pass through last year. Wish I knew how to entice them to stay. Have already seen male hummingbirds, too.

Pah-tay......lucky you has a great number of different hummers to see down there. Some of them are so beautiful!! There are some great birding sites in Texas, especially during migrations.

Hey Juuuude! Don't forget to take breaks from your dungeon tortures! Hope you are doing all right with it all! I phorget......did you have a target date for the move?

Nite all...... :)

Good Morning, Psills!

Ah, what a stimulating, oh-so-very-literary evening last night was! POeter, your brother is one of the finest readers to whom I've listened - - infectiously animated, completely taken over by his story, anxious to bring it out to us. He obviously becomes completely involved in his work. . ... .. a real artist.

Well. . . . . the only problem was the venue. The Clocktower Pub is a lovely little establishment down by the canal, cosy and artsy. Rob's book-reading and signing was, unfortunately, in the basement - -too cosy. It must have been 80 F when we got our seats along the bar, and the temp progressively rose from there. By eight-thirty I knew I was going to have to get out of there, or take my clothes off <_< .

So we waited in the looooonnnnng lineup after Rob finished reading from his excellent new book, as Jack bought one of his older books and wanted it signed. He was also prepared to get verification of Rob's dietary avoidance of mushrooms.

Well, we waited....and waited. . . ...and waited. We couldn't stay in the heat any longer. Rob was soaked in sweat, but kept signing and laughing. So, Jack didn't get his book signed, did not get to tell him about knowing you, his oracle brother. . . ...and did not have the opportunity to ask him if he has had the celiac blood panel run on himself. :rolleyes:

There was a HUGE, gluten-filled birthday cake brought out for him, and we all sang robustly.

It was a great evening. The house white was a lovely Chilean. ...(Um, the wine, not the waiter). . . .......

Dad is getting prepped as I speak. . . . . ......will get news by lunchtime. .. . ...

:)

OMG - Mimms does TWO things in one day that involve two main phobias of mine.....

finding a spider on oneself or - in one's bed - - almost nothign more horrifying. Oh - except finding a large, winged insect on oneself.........like a big cicada...........or a cricket or a grasshopper (do they have wings? :huh: ) or.......a HUGE dive-bombing moth.....

or maybe a bat in one's hair - - :o or a bat in one's house (Jess and Em have stories about this, I believe)

I would die on the spot.

there are countries (and certain parts of THIS country) I will never visit due to the HUGE insects..... :unsure:

falling into a nekkid toilet - actually touching the BOWL with one's arse - -

*GASP*

pure horror :huh:

and BTW - I don't think Padt's hair looks like that any more - she's in Texas - she gots BIG HAIR now :lol: (but lurvely photo, Padt)

Stay cool, today, Mimms, read that Chrysler IS filing bankruptcy....... :( such hard times........

The one good thing about a launderette (or laundromat :P ) is that one can do many loads at once. Tis expensive, though--and a pain in the butt <_< Plus you have to lug it all there and back home. :angry:

Hand me a snake anytime, but KEEP THE SPIDERS AWAY!!!<shudder>

Me too!! in fact, anything with many legs and is shorter than one inch gives me heebe jeebees big time. However, probly still take the snake (even in the toilet) if t'wasn't ON mee!]. Cockroaches in our apt. in Germany, two inches long and hiding under dishwashing sponge and other sneaky places had me runnin' for the door, almost went over the upstairs balcony once :o

I usually involuntarily engage in toilet aerobics during those middle-o-the-nite-not-fully-awake-hafta-pee-before-I-burst-cuz-I've-been-tryin-to-ignore-it-for-2-hours events :rolleyes:

Got that one solved; when we built the house had them put urinal (pronounced you-RINE-al in good British voice) in de ensuite to avoid such shocking events. Dh had to think up other ways to git me, like leaving sandals in me track from bed-loo.

Well, bums!!!!!!! :angry:

Man turned up EMPTY HANDED (pointless call out).....it will take another 8 FLIPPIN' DAYS to get the door

....INCOMPETANT BUFFOONERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever happened to "Customer is always right"? Life has degenerated to customer is silly, stupid little WOMAN, has no idea what's wrong with her washer, will have to go straighten her out (wif me little thumbs). Repairmen is getting to be like doctors (only smellier) :rolleyes:

Spent yesterday afternoon shouting at an old lady I visit (mother of my late :( best friend) whose hearing aid was out for repairs; GAWD, she really is deaf as a post. Thank God she likes to talk -and talk, and talk- so I phinally phiguredI could just sit there with this sweet smile and nod in affirmation every now and again, or frown, and move my lips occasionally cos she couldn't tell if I was talking or not. She had a good time :lol:

Gotta get going cos today my housesitter arrives (no, not to housesit--she had nowhere to go this month so she is going to stay in our unit out the back for most of the next month until we leave and I have to fix it up for her). Good deal, she stays free and does gardening for me. With my back and hands the last year the garden has suffered (garden, you call that a garden?? What are those things growing there? Them's weeds, me friends, millions of 'em, everywhere; some of 'em I don't even know what they are, heck they could be exotic arboreal specimens for all I know, I get stuff volunteering all the time, cabbage trees (yeah, really, look it up (cordyline), took me a long while to figure out what they looked like as babies!) and oodles of stuff with Maori names I nae can pronounce adequately let alone spell, and lots of pitysporums which are nice in the right place but not smack dab in the middle of a leucodendron. Anyways, thank goodness Barb knows 'bout such things and has a strong back and a willing heart so she will help me out and I will treat her real good because my garden has been driving me CRAAZEE!

Em. just see your dad is out of surgery; hope everything is hunky dory :) (wub).

      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..

      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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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.
