She said she started putting her makeup on and suddenly spit out 'Good God what happened???' She had no idea where all that droopy, wrinkly skin came from.

Happens to me when I pull out the magnification mirror to pluck me eyebrows. Woah :unsure: I try and do that as quick as possible and put the dang mirror the heck away <_<

One of the reasons I resisted wearing glasses for so long. The world, when viewed through a soft focus of myopia, is a much prettier place.

If I wear pants loose enough not to create the muffin top, I can't keep my pants up.(Lost me bum somewheres, so no help there) If I wear pants tight enough to keep them up. I get muffin top <_< ........oh, and flabby, wrinkly arms. Even me belly button is wrinkly :(

I have all this extra skin that I'm too aftraid to have cut off, so it hangs over my pants, it looks like there was too much liquid in my muffin mix <_<:lol:

I was laying on my side the other day and my ds saw my belly, he looked shocked and said "what is that?" I said it was my belly button. He didn't look convinced since you couldn't actually see where the belly button was, so I said, look what happens when I lay on my back--TaDaaaa, there it was. He said, "Mommy, you should always lay on your back!" <_<:rolleyes:

Wow.. . . ...POeter didn't do a good enough job on the vacuuming, so Jacquie's put his balls in the oven... . . . ... ......wow, I knew there was some subtle kind of don't-mess-with-me aura about Jacquie when I met you two, but man, she don't mess around, do she?? :lol:

Ugh... . . . my body when supine. ... . .......not a whole lot better than when it is vertical, I fear. Hmm... . .....perhaps we all should ask for one o' THESE in our stockings this year...

What in h*** would I do with THAT??????!!!!!! :rolleyes:

PeOters balls!!!!!! :lol:

Never get tired of hearing about them!

Peter is more in the dark than usual. Power went out on us a few minutes ago. My notebook is running on battery power, and the modem and router are running on battery backup too. Jacquie is calling the power company to report the problem.

The forecast for tomorrow morning's commute is snow. This will be the first fall of the season, and even though we get snow every year here, everybody forgets how to drive in snow over the summer. So not looking forward to driving to work in the morning.

My balls have been repackaged and are resting comfortably in the (temporarily inoperative) freezer.

curlyfries Contributor

PETER!!!!

Sounds like you're in for a c-c-c-cold night!.......balls and all!!!!!

Man, this is SO true. The first big blast of snow here (tomorrow and the next day -- 20 cm comin') brings out the same drivers among whom I travel all year, but they are suddenly new people... .. . .. ..unable to keep safe distances, all space perception gone, handling their vehicles like they's on rough, dry pavement.... . . .....GAH.

Off to the orthodontist this am. Jack popped a bracket off at the bowling lanes on Friday evening, and has been living all weekend with a loose wire sticking into his back gum. DH has a fantastically impressive collection of tools -- screwdrivers galore, every size and weight of hammer one can imagine, huge and tiny wrenches, and an amazing mix of pliers and cutters, from the teeny models used for.. . ..crap, I canna imagine -- fixing eyeglass hinges, I suppose. . ......to those for screwing in jet engine parts.

Do you think he has ONE needle-nosed cutter, out of the nine that are hanging in the tool room, that can reach and cut off this li'l wire in The Ripper's mouth? <_<:rolleyes:

So the poor kid had to go the weekend sticking gum back there, candle wax etc., to cover the wire end. He apparently grabbed the nails scissors at one point and managed to bend it downwards a little. Excellent work. B)

Must look for a tenth little wire cutter that would do this job, and put it in DH's stocking. Or Jack's... ..

jerseyangel Proficient

Be careful out there, Canadian phriends :D Did you get yer power back, Peoter? Balls still frozen? B)

Poor The Ripper--can nae imagine the torture of having a wire constantly poking in me mouth :(

Not much new here--starting me last week in Joisey. Will be over-seeing a new toilet installation this week :rolleyes: We went over to my older son's house Saturday night and helped trim the tree. :D

Instead of buying a house, me thinks we should have 2 apartments. One here and one in Houston. :lol:

Pseriously.....

psawyer Proficient

Power came back in the middle of the night. My balls are still frozen. The expected snow has not yet arrived, and traffic was light coming to the store this morning.

Psillies . . . a terribly unpsillie thing (at least today it is unpsillie) . . . an early Christmas present for Skeeter . . . the school nurse called and . . . someone has given her head lice. I have spent the last three hours combing through her hair (she's got very thick hair) after I cut about half of it of myself as the hair cut place would nae take her. I understand this but the poor child has lice AND a hair cut from her mother and I haven't even take the kids' Christmas picture yet!!!

As if I don't already have enough laundry to do . . . I'm now off to launder every single thing in this house that will fit in the washing machine.

Jeepers, sorry Jan-it :( Poor wee Skeeter--you've got yer work cut out for ya. Somehow we managed to escape lice, but I know people who have had to deal with it--what a pain.

Jyagh-nutt! Oh, that's just heinous. . .. .....and what abysmal timing..... . . . :(:angry:

Nope, nuttin' psilly about that. AND a mommy-haircut - - the poor kid. <_<

. . . she says she likes it . . . I always thought she looked better with a bit shorter hair. The curl in her hair helps hide the choppiness.

My head hurts.

Googling tells me it tends to be more of a girl thang . . . what wif the long hair . . . just two girls leaning in to look at the same book wif hair touching will do it, let alone sharing a comb or brush or trying on each others headbands or barettes. Smakl rarely tries on any of his phriends headbands.

GoOoOod morning, Psills!

How's the treatment going, J? I, as well, have managed to avoid the lice household infestation -- amazing, sometimes, as my young nephew and niece had them and we were all fraternizing, and a couple of class infestations have happened throughout the years.

Perhaps I have rubbed off my mysterious physiological bug repellent on me kids. For whatever the reason, I am NEVER bitten or bothered by mosquitos, no-see-ums, deerflies, etc. They will be swarming around others, and I barely have to swat any away. :huh:

Actually, now that I've written that out and read it, it really is quite strange.

If I were self-conscious and had significant self-esteem issues, I could see this making me crazy.

:huh:

:lol:

I have wondered about attributing it to the diabetes.. . . .....perhaps it makes my blood smell weird er sumfin'.

Hell, why aren't there wasps all around me, attracted by the corn syrup??

We wanna pic of Skeeter in her new 'do!

jerseyangel Proficient

Mornin' all B)

Interesting about the stinky blood, Em :P Ya never know.....I meselph am not bothered much by bugs/bugbites either. Mark, on the other hand, has gotten Lyme Disease from a tick and is severly allergic to bee stings (the sevarity of which may be lessened by 5 years of immunotherapy).

Am coming down wif a cold, compliments of son #1 and girlfriend <_< Me throat pheels like it's on phire :o Glad I did all the painting I wanted to do last week! :D

Jan-it....how's the laundry comin? :P

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana  
    • trents
      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
    • Theresa2407
      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
    • KathyR37
      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
