Hi Sillies- a very not so phunny time on our side.

John and I have started the journey through the reproductive endo clinic in hopes of getting pregnant. My dr there really believes that John's past medical history might be what is holding it up- so John gave some love in a cup and now we are waiting nervously for the results. I dont think we will hear till tomorrow...but its hard to wait. We have discussed what options he and I would seek if it is a problem but I am hoping it doesn't come to that. To make this even more emotional and crazy- I had some blood work drawn the other day and I went into the online med records system to check them (which is allowed for myself) and then I happen to see that my coworkers son was looking at my stuff and he would have no business in there. He works at one of our off-site drs offices but not an office I go to or one that any of my drs would be in contact with- so that is disturbing. Plus right now more than ever there is very personal stuff in there- stuff about me and John's private lives that even my coworkers do not know about. I am not even sure what to do about it since I work with the guys mother.....oh its terrible! I feel violated...and not in a good way!

John and I are doing good. John is getting over viral bronchitis.

things are work are ok- still have problems with my boss but that doesnt matter. I still have no respect for her. She is just a nasty woman..

I just came from a beginning of fall shopping spree. I went to Kohls cause I needed pants- and bought me some dockers which I love since they dont seem to shrink. then I got some cute tops and a new over the shoulder boudler holder. Spent 85 but then got to the register and got one of those scratch coupons and I got 15 off! So I spent 70 instead! Score!

Can someone help me get a cute thing in my sig--I think they look cute!

Amanduh! Superb av -- such pretty goils! :)B)

That is creepy, extremely unprofessional AND quite appalling, what your co-worker's son is up to. Can you get in touch with him? Challenge him on it? He needs to be addressed on this in no uncertain terms - - you can probably sue him for this kind of thing (I know in the States it is probably attempted all the time). . ... .. ..

My advice to you Paddeigh is ...... Be the curl, live as one

:lol: Absolute words by which to live. . . . .....

A heated mattress pad you say?!?!?!

For now, I have the cats to do my pre warming <_<

I have DH's never-fail, like-clockwork nocturnal gas that does this job.. . . .. MUCH rather have me cats up there warming things up, but the smell keeps them away, I'm sure.. .....

Why in hell doesn't it keep ME away? Am I nuts?

:rolleyes:

:lol:

Must go shopping tomorrow!..... for the brightest, most garish ensmble I can find!!!!!!

...... this month in the UK is 'breast cancer aware month'. My gym is having a charity day where you HAVE to wear something pink. (and you donate for the honoUr)

I'm thinking fluorescent pink tights (pantyhose) with leg warmers and shorts (it's ok!!..I'll have tights on!! :o )...maybe a pink tutu!!

I see you in something like this, Nik... . ....

pink_gorillas.webp

I think Angus needs a phriend ( a wittle or big furry fuzzy canine friend) :D

Do it, Bevel, DO IT! Nothing is like adopting a needy dog........ :wub::wub:

:lol: One o' me fave Peanuts strips:

:lol: Phunny! "I love Peanuts".

Somehow I gain strength from the fact that someone, somewhere else in the world is having the same struggles as I ;)

Pseriously PadT, you don't get much more damp than England.... and I (beaten down by Decades of wrestling) decided to go with it.

My advice to you Paddeigh is ...... Be the curl, live as one

Gawd Nik--I also gain strengh knowing you understand :D I've been so tempted to have it done--but I hate to get on the straightening merry-go-round again. Thanks to you, I will stay strong and be one wif me curl. B) <grumble....>

Happy Sunday-

Hi Bevvie--how are classes going? :)

Hi Sillies- a very not so phunny time on our side.

Sorry fer all you're going through, Amanda. Hope you get good news from the doctor on the wee swimmers :) Good going at Kohl's, though! :D

I have DH's never-fail, like-clockwork nocturnal gas that does this job.. . . ..

:lol::lol::lol:

What??? :unsure: ...why??....what's going ON over there Leese?????????

But cheese IS good- no doubt about that!

Face is breaking out, funky feeling tongue....bleeding :ph34r:.....luckily no stomach issues.......I was doing fine at first. I guess it just builds up over time.

I'm hoping that keeping cheese will help me keep my weight from dropping.....never thought I'd be saying that ! :P

Hi Sillies- a very not so phunny time on our side.

I was just thinkin about you the other day and was gonna ask where you've been. When we don't hear from you in a while, I know sumthin's up.

Couldn't you report that guy? That is seriously unprofessional.....couldn't he lose his job for that? I don't care if he is somebody's son!

I'm back psillies!!!

Hi Jan-knit!!!! Where was it you went wif the goils?

My boss left about the same time you did with her girlfriends and I started wondering.......hmmmm......... :huh:

......but you didn't go to Florida, did you? :unsure:

PSILLIES!!!!!

I was over the moon, today!

We went to a relative's 50th wedding anniversary today. I was not in the mood to call about the food....dealing with a caterer....blah, blah.....

....so I was going to make something for meself, but ran out of time.......so I grabbed some nuts and decided I would just make do.

When we got there, a little early, I decided it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Well.......one of the grown children that planned it is celiac! The chicken, potatoes, green beans, AND the cake were all gluten free!!! :D

Through a miscommunication, the pork wasn't........and she didn't eat salad, so no guarantees on the dressing.

I just HAD to try the cake :P .....starting sugar-free tomorrow :rolleyes:

This was the first time a lot of these cousins, aunts and uncles of Brian's have seen him since the accident.

.........and we showed off on the dance floor :P

Oh....and I want a cute thing on my sig, too, but can't find anything I like. Where was it you said to go, Ruh-shell?

Spent the weekend at my mommy's house so hubby could prep for his interview this week. She has a hot tub, it was amazing! She also has a VitaMix in which I am completely in love! I smoothified everything I ate the entire weekend :P She asked if I would like to have one, I said for sure but no way in hell I'm paying that much for a flippin blender--she wrote me a check for $400!!!! She said to consider it an early Christmas present-WOOHOO!! Makes up for the fact that I woke up this morning and their cat had at some point during the night decided to sleep on my chest and I am now coughing and can't breathe out of my nose <_<

Hope everyone else had an amazing weekend!!

Wistfully wishing mine were BIG enough to hang to me waist :lol:

Don't feel bad Nik, I have to roll mine up to fit them into a bra. Went to Victoria's Secret a few years ago, after I was done nursing ds, and the gal was fitting me for a bra. She came into my dressing room and said "Oh My! What happened?" I've been going to Nordstroms since. THEY don't make fun of my flapjack boobsicles!

I'm thinking fluorescent pink tights (pantyhose) with leg warmers and shorts (it's ok!!..I'll have tights on!! :o )...maybe a pink tutu!!

Too much??? :lol:

Um, NEVER too much and you MUST post a picture!!

Hi Sillies- a very not so phunny time on our side.

and then I happen to see that my coworkers son was looking at my stuff and he would have no business in there. I feel violated...and not in a good way!

You must turn him in for a HIPPA violation. That is highly inappropriate. Turn him in for sure!

GOoOoOooOoOd morning, Psillies!

Phlapjack boobs........yes, 'tis quite accurate, I fear... ... .. <_< Um, I've always wondered why nothing seems to happen to the male appendage in question as the aging process continues, at least nothing like what happens to a woman's boobs. Like our boobs, does it lengthen, flatten, shrink?

Don't believe so. Wot in hell?

:huh:

:lol:

YAY, Rashyelle's gettin' a honkin' blendah! great way to get the kids eating just about any vegetable.....amazing what you can hide in a smoothie. . .... B)

Saw those wee kids flaked out in the car on Da Book, R -- adorable!

She came into my dressing room and said "Oh My! What happened?"

Whoa.. ...speaking of unprofessional . . .. . ..... :o:lol:

Heh! "Nocturnal gas".......does it sound anything like "classical gas"? Hum a few bars for me! :P

Hey Jyann-ate! Hurry up and catch up and throw us some psilly!

Manda-Villa......hope things get better soon. The sneaker needs to be taught that what he's doing is indeed illegal!!! And how is he getting access anyway? There should be some controls in place for accessability of your private/priveledged records.

Not sorry to have to "phlap-jack" here. Some of us have "phlat-jacks"......they will never be introduced to my belly-button or knees.....but they may know the back-bone pretty well :rolleyes:

Hi all--happy Monday :D

Sooze, I'm so happy that it's getting cooler out there and that you were able to get off the Lexapro! I definately sensed (isn't it amazing how well we get to "know" each other over the years.....even communicating this way) that there was something that was not right. Can't help ya wif the 4 months next year, though.....you'd hate the heat here just as much :P Although, there is a lot to do here and the shopping is devine B)

Speaking of which, it's another warm, clammy, humid, dreary day here <rolleyesstickingoutmetongue> If all goes acording to plan....and when does it ever <_< ......I'm going to spend a couple weeks this fall up in Jersey wif me boys :D:D:D

I think I musta lucked out in the boobage dept.....not the greatest, but not phlap-jackish either. Considering the two kids, it could be worse B)

Rah-schell's kiddos conked out in the car :rolleyes:

Padt - I SOOOOOOOOO hear you on the hair......I ponder straightening the under layers of mine.....would do it myself :blink: (have done it before).......SICK OF IT!! TexAss would make my hair REALLY bad.......and I do understand why everyone from Texass always had big hair - the curly-headed ones could nae help it! :lol:

Nikkel - yer hair is at a whole other level - no sense fighting it and 'tis glorious on you, BTW.......but people with straight hair don't even GET how much we hate our stupid curly messes :angry:

MATTRESS WARMERS are divine!!!!!!!! have been using those for - 20 years? Turn it on before you head to bed - bed is TOASTY adn WARM when you get in it!! sooooooo fab -

must get productive today, sills..........not working today and tomorrow........can't just be a slovenly hag and let the day go to waste :ph34r:

Em- your whole post :lol: x 10

How could the male appendage age? Hmm...drooping would be very very bad (Hey- what's that lump in yer pant leg?) unless.......one could develop a support system for this I suppose :P

I agree with Nik's two finger (or in the US one fingered) salute to celiac. My family came over last night and they had the noive to pig out on Chinese food in front of me! I had a yummy dinner (Indian) but not the same. I miss bad but so so so good Chinese food.

I hope Tel feels better soon and doesn't get too grumpy. :(

Classes are going well. I've been feeling a bit better lately (even took Angus for a walk in the woods with Kurt yesterday) but last night I had horrid insomnia from 3-5 am and today my eyeballs are falling outta my head trying to correct papers. Can't complain too much as my eyeballs can at least fall out on the comfort of my own couch.

I still have it, too--not sure if it's on this computer or the other one. I'll go see if I can find it. For the newbies B)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
