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.. . . ..

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)

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

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

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.

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:

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 -

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)

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
