I, too, must bid you adieu for tonight. It will be a busy morning tomorrow.

The jewels and scepter remain somewhat tarnished tonight. There was no polishing of the royal assets. :(

Sills--I'm sore in places I didn't know I had :o Last night we started putting an epoxy finish on the garage floor.....what a production! We had to etch it first (did this on Sunday) and then wash. By last night it was dry, so we mixed up the first batch of the stuff and ended up getting the floor about 2/3 done. All the edging is done (by moi) and it really looks incredible.

Another beautiful day here--got me winders open B)

so glad you got it 3/4 done

Duh! :blink: .....I had no clue what you were talking about........I thought we were still talking weather :huh:

You may have to polish the royal sceptor ;):lol::lol::lol:

So GOOD FER YOU, all you recent Psills - - Rah-shell, Slooozhee.... . . . ...trial by fire, I suppose. .. . . ... :rolleyes:

:lol:

you know, on that trip (one week in Maui), I wasn't really drinking AT ALL! In fact, I can tell you my age.....it was the first Christmas after my dad died, and some of our family went to Hawaii that year.....so I was about 27. NOT a heavy drinker at that time - probably just one umbrella drink a day, or none......

nope....I"m telling you.....I've been to most of the Hawaiian isles, and only in Maui did I sleep and sleep -_-

but OMG - now that I think of it, I napped nearly EVERY SINGLE DAY in Italy for half a summer! :o and was almost a COMPLETEL teetotaler at that age (23).....it was the diet that made me sleepy.....a breakfast of a croissant (with some UNBELIEVABLY delicious cream cheese or chocolate filling :( *sniff*) and coffee.....that was it......then a HUGE lunch at 1:00-ish.....OMG....had to CRASH every day, that is why they have siestas, my friends...no protein at the morning meal! the entire country is celiac hypoglycemic, I"m tellin ya... We called it Florentine Sleeping Sickness.....and could NAE fight it.......

Extremely cranky that I have to go and represent the TC (my "job") tonight at this function WITHOUT MY BOSS :angry: do NOT want to go.......no no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh: Have a zit on my chin the size of a pea.....hair is PSYCHOTIC, and getting worse all the time :( Am VERY cranky, and do NOT want to go ANYWHERE, but most especially doing an activity that requires me to promote something that I think is GNUTS (our youth program). :angry:

There are worse things than inebriation, you know. Sobriety is at the top of my list.

So, at the store this afternoon, after unloading the truck, we are a bit tired mentally and physically.

Her majesty is on Phacebook and sees a phunny video linked by one of her phriends. It is not on my page, because her phriend of a phriend is not also my phriend. So she says, watch it on my computer.

I walk around, and click on it while she goes to do something else. I switch it to full-screen mode and watch. She comes back, and apparently did not know that you could watch in full-screen mode, because she asks me, "How did you get it up so big?" Several seconds of silence followed. :ph34r:

I then showed her how to access full-screen mode.

jerseyangel Proficient

Well, maybe she was speaking of yer sceptor :P

Get yer minds outta the gutter......PeOter is the new King and everything....... B)

Oh Sooz--sorry bout the hormonal raging. Not phun, I know :( I think havin the screwdriver was a good idea--did it take the edge off?

Wave to Jess :D

Menopause.....I went through it at aproximately 8AM on January 3, 2007 when they yanked out all me equipment :rolleyes: No HRT it'all, so the rest of that year was "interesting"--lots of hot and cold and all the rest. I'll tell ya thought--when everything settled down at the end of a year's time or so, it was wonderful to not have to think about all that stuff anymore. I think I had started the process at least 4 years prior, so I was just glad to get it behind me. Ah....the joys of bein a woman B)

Lee-sa's list = genius! :rolleyes:

Mark and I petered out last night--took a load over to the house, put it away, and decided to call it a night. We came back here and ate leftover Chang's and basically crashed. He fell asleep on the couch and I followed soon after.

Mentalpause?? :lol: Yep . . . although mine might not be hormone related . . . :P

Gotta go eat some breakfast and start cleaning. Way too much crap tatt around here. I need to have a yard boot sale but tis late in the season. Maybe I'll just pass this stuff out to the trick-or-treaters. Do you think they would like some used tupperware and old towels?

:lol: Jyagh-knutt! This is a superb idea. Buying trick-or-treat candy/crap to hand out is expensive and generally bad all around... . ..for kids' teeth, weight, etc. Why not place into their eagerly open sacks gently used household items that we no longer have use for, but which can be creatively recycled and continuously used?

How exciting for those expectant little goblins at my door, to receive my padded cushions for all those football games I once attended, the cloth napkins for our original place settings, the adapters for my old cordless phones.. . .......!

And HEY! The loved but rejected mistake-pictures of yore - - all those of foreheads, patio floor, half a thumb... .. . .

Mygawd.......I bet I could fill Hallowe'en bags from several neighboUrhoods.

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified. I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet. Cristiana

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
