Mini Mom.....Good thiings often balance the bad. I'm sure all will work out well in the end. I know what it's like to try to balance multiple jobs and still be a parent. I think I hear the creaKing of a new door opening for you! Keeping your hubbies job opportunity in prayer. 'Tis so hard to lose a pet...they bring such joy to our lives and leave a great store of love and memories when they go.. Angels are not just 2 legged replicas of ourselves. They touch our lives while here and give us something intangible and beyond description. Hard lessons for a child, though.

Suess and her cabbages/cvibkegs (whatever). Good that you can get a laff over liphes strangeness. It's a wonderphul thing to have such a good reLationShip with your mom :) Consider yourselph fortunate......so many families drift apart and phorget that family members can be your best friends. I'm so rich in love with family.....so lukky!!!

Hope all is shiny in psilli-villi today!

The interesting thing is that it may involve trips to Seattle. Jess? You're in Seattle, aren't you? I may have to tag along ;)

Bring the wee one. We shall have marvelous adventures and stuff ourselves with non-dangerous food.

How do you feel about dim sum?

My goodness, T, you are so eloquent. Very well said, and heartfelt. Thank you.

You are the official spokeswoman for the Royal Palace--first line of business, announce the new decree that sadness and strife are hereby outlawed. Russians are the official drink. And a$$hats will be shot on sight.

If you're buyin' cookin', I'm in :D

Seriously, I have always wanted to see Washington.

You would just love my daughter. She is a riot--moody and bossy (don't know where she got it from :huh: ), but so fun. And if you guys think I'm a little wacked, wait til you meet Scott. I've been trying to talk my husband into joining the chaos and anarchy that is facebook. He's one very funny guy.

I can't seem to enjoy Facebook or e-mail the way I did before. They're just not the same.........I'm not the same. They had a different purpose for a while and it's taken the fun out of them.

But here.........I kept psillyville untouched by it all

I had a vivid dream last night. . . ......we were having all of the bricks torn off the front of our house, and new ones installed. :blink:

I was rushing home from somewhere to meet the contractor who was heading up the job, and when I met him at the end of our driveway it was Willie Nelson. He began explaining how they were going to have to rip huge holes in the front facade of the house, permanently move the kitchen to the basement

Been thinking of doing some remodelling I see! :lol:

Daughter feeling better this morning. I sat with her for a very long time last night and held her. This was her first experience with losing a pet, and we all know how much it hurts :(

Things are actually looking rather upwards with my hubbies job, though.

So sorry for the loss of beloved wee Mousey. Your daughter has just learned one of life's harder lessons.; but what we lose on the swings we gain on the roundabouts. Good news on hubbie's new job possibilities.

Hope all is shiny in psilli-villi today!

Yep, been out there polishing the brass all day :D

.......can the psillies come out and play? :(

Psillies lost their way to the playground today; maybe they will find it tomorra??

You are the official spokeswoman for the Royal Palace--first line of business, announce the new decree that sadness and strife are hereby outlawed. Russians are the official drink. And a$$hats will be shot on sight.

Excellent decree, Your Majesty. Shoot a$$holes on sight, right!! (wif pleasure). No more sadness and strife--banished forevva!!

But red drinks??? I nae can have tomato juice!! Oh, not that kind of Russian!. Okay. :lol:

But here.........I kept psillyville untouched by it all

Right!. I believe the official quote is "Psillies are forevvaah"

Gosh, I did not know Grace had got an epitome already. Can I have one too?

Nowt going on here except cold and rain and snow and hail and sleet and it's still not even winter yet. We is bundlin" (kinda nice) :lol: . Cat doesn't mind cuz she's got lotsa fur (Maine Coon)

Our Souczie is at work, trying to do her job amidst a most heinous allergy attack. She's ok, but may not have a chance to come here for a little while and wanted me to let ya'll know.

Nuttin new here....<boredphace>

Hey all! Thought I'd take a break and poop in here. Been painting the deck...2nd coat. Gorgeous day here...shiny and 80's. Luv it! I added some new fishies to my pond. 6 are tiny mosquito fish (they eat the mosquito larva....aaaaaaand alga...whoopee!). Also got 2 koy...about 6" long. The mosquito fish took off right away in a tiny little school. The Koy were reluctant for a minute...just kind of hung out where I put them in. One swam a little farther...I could almost hear him (her?) say...."Holy Crap Marvin...Look at this!" Then they took off for the far end of the pond, and back again! What a riot. I assume they are in the deep part now, because I can't see them. Or in the fake cave (a black tote with holes cut in). I'll probably be bored with them soon....but at least they'll be good for the pond....if the fish-eating-birds don't find them first. We have 2 statue cranes by the pond to fake out the herons.

Hope yer all having a great day, too. Later..

Tired. Humans were not designed to try to be intelligent for more than a couple days in a row. Any longer than that and my brain presents the human version of the BSOD. (Preceded my the usual warning signs; stuttering, difficulty loading pages, etc).

      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
    • Scott Adams
      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.
