So I've decided to go vegan. I've been vegetarian for a while now, seems like the next step, especially since I started reading The Kind Diet. I've NEVER been so grossed out in my life. Do you know HOW hard it is to be gluten-free AND vegan with minimal soy AND get everything you need????!!!!!! I shall figure it out-day one was delish, I must say

So I go to Whole paycheck Foods (3 bags of groceries plus a 5$ gallon of milk for 108$ ) I get home, grab the 3 bags in one hand, the gallon of milk in the other and try to shut the Prius hatch-dropping the 5$ gallon of moojoo on the driveway, busting open and I'm watching my money flow down the street. I hose off the driveway (it ended up running downhill into my neighbor's garden ). I'm a little peeved at this point, but I realize I forgot the salsa for our vegan burritos, hafta go back to the store anyways. Go to the store, spend 5$ more for the milk and get my salse. Get home, set the bag on the kitchen table, the flippin salsa flippin tips over and flippin rolls out of the bag, off the table and SHATTERS on my kitchen floor and all up the legs of my freshly laundered jeans I'm frustrated beyond belief at this point, but I don't start screaming obscenities UNTIL I try to clean up the mess, dh tells me "there's something wrong with the kitchen sink, I put some Draino to see if that helps" As I'm

turning on the disposal, as the flippin water EXPLODES out of the drain and all down my new Lucky blouse and my freshly laundered Hudson jeans--flippin DRAINO all over my flippin clothes!!! I immediately put them into the washer, I'm praying they're OK.

I'm not leaving my house or cooking anything else today!!! (at least the burritos were amazing!!)

Vodka is vegan, right??

[psawyer]

Vodka is vegan, right??

Absolutely. Cheers!

Not the first time

That's not the Drano that says NOT to use it on garbage disposals, is it?

And if I were you, I wouldn't even TOUCH anything for the rest of the day!

That'd be the one. Dumbass (she says lovingly)

PINCH, PUNCH, PHIRST DAY OF THE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!

Hey peeps!!!!!

The puppers are BAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

LISA! Hope you had a great birphday

Did I miss Soozelle poop in?? ...and poor wheezee!

OMGAAAaaaaaawd, Rachelle's becoming vegan?!?!

Hat's off to you my luv - my body barely copes with being gluten-free (Um, back to docs for another rounds of bloods 'cos I've all the symptoms of severe anaemia again )

I did try casein free with gluten-free for around a year - but was worried about me teeth/calcium thing

....which brings me to my next point.

Am seeing dentist this evening at 6pm - hold me

I am falling apart (body & mind )

Today is DC's 15th birfday, & it's about as UN happy-a- birthday I've ever witnessed

BAH!!, sometimes I wish I could fast forward my life

[elye]

Gooood morning, Psillies!

OMG, Rah-shyellle... . . .a salsa-Draino soup all over yerself?? Haynus. Those couple o' minutes in your kitchen must have been quite the classic America's Funniest Home Video moments.. . ....GAH!

Gnick! Best of luck a la dentiste. .....is he good-looking? In this rare instance, one hopes for little thumbs on such an individual - - a small-fingered (hell, handed) dentist, methinks, is more welcoming, visually... . .....don't have to crane your mouth open as far, he's in and out faster, less fumbling around... ... . . ...

Hey. . .. . ....I'm talking dental work, here.. ..!

[flourgirl]

Hi all! Did a quick cruise through the last pages. I really need to make the time to stay caught up here. I miss youse guys. I'm in the process of packing to make the trip home. Dad did so well for the first few days. They took him off the oxygen, and took him for a few spins in a wheelchair. The plan was to get him to a rehab facility asap because he was ready! I woke yesterday with the most awful feeling and a driving need to go home. Good thing no one was around me because I had a terrible weepy/sad distracted day. Got a phone call from my sister that Dad is back on oxygen....back in bed and not doing well at all. I think that maybe he's come to realize that the paralysis (from the chest down) really is permanent and that his life will be drastically different. I'm so afraid that he might just give up. He has always been so strong, so active, so independant. So....I'm packing, and digging up maps. Please keep him (and the rest of us) in prayer. Thanks for the support you've already given.

[Jestgar]

T - I'm of the opinion that things are only permanent if you decide them to be. Convince your dad that giving up is really the paralysis he needs to avoid.

I love a good old fashioned 'double entendre'

May have all me teeph out and demand a full set of 'falsies' so

1. 1. I Never have to return
   2. I Never have to return (did I mention this one already? )
   

Sadly, the short in stature but calming Egyptian man that is my dentist has (If I recall) rather small thumbs

Oh Tea, I saw your post over on FB

We're all behind you in this difficult time!

Take care!

P.S I LOVE Jess! ♥ - she is wise!

SOoOoooo true, what Jyessss has poignantly said. I'm thinking about you and your family, Tareeesuh... . . ..... . . . . I sure know what your pain feels like. There is nothing I have ever experienced before, and I know nothing I shall ever again, that has equalled the pain and stress of seeing my big, strong, invincible dad reduced to a helpless, frail old man. He did not last too long like this, and I so wish he had, because we can help, support and get used to ANY form that our loved ones are in. You sound like such an amazing family - - you can absolutely keep him hopeful!

Gnick, this is a GOOD thang, remember? In and out, less fumbling, can reach further... . ......

Thinking of you and your dad, T. My psilly is still missing.

Just wanted to poop in and say I'm thinking of you Teereesa and wishing the best for you and your dad. Sending :wub:

Me 2 Tee!!!

Psillies . . . I need a vacation from my life!!! . . . but wait, I always gain weight whilst on vacation . . . hmmmmm, gonna hafta think about this one.

Subbed at the preschool today. Seriously thinking about not going back next year. There's a job at a nursery (ummmm, trees & stuff, NOT babies) down the road that sounds so appealing to me . . . but I know the preschool job fits my life better at the moment since my kiddos are too young to stay by themselves.

Nikki's slappin' us around again . . . is it bad that I look forward to that? What would Dr. Phil say?

I know which Nursery I'd prefer

...but yeah, finding work to fit in with the chidlins often ironically means working wiv other people's

Nikki's slappin' us around again . . . is it bad that I look forward to that? What would Dr. Phil say?

I dunno!....BUT I knew you loved it !!!!!

Think I need a vacation from my liphe too - let's go and get fat together!!

_{Where shall we go??}

Ok, I survived the dentist.... he couldn't find any cavities/loss of filling

Summat weird going on - in the 3 months since I saw him last he said my gums have deteriorated, become inflamed, bleed at the slightest touch.

It is this that is making my teeth uber sensitive

I canna remember the last time I was able to drink cold water.

Anyhoo, he prodded ,poked, tapped and scraped - declared my gums had 'dropped' (what?? , like a pair of baggy old knickers?) and recommended I buy a sh*t load of stuff (toofpastes, l'il brushes,moofwash etc ...£££)

Apparently I have BIG gaps between me molars (he could easily get one of his small thumbs in) These areas were attacked by him and his tool mini ice pick scraper

...and then blasted with a jet of arctic high pressured air.

OUCH

WIH's happening to me body??....earlier on me GP declared me still severely anaemic and wants to start tests to discover why....the first of which is a scan of my abdomen area

GADS!! - I is old!!!

*********************************************

Hoping T has arrived safely, and thinking of her and her family ♥ ♥

[elye]

Mornin', Peeps!

Gnickers. ... ... . .....sandblasting of gums . .. ......ick. Every second person with whom I speak seems to be afflicted with receding gums. I am, and DH is. He boldly ventured to the periodontist and had skin grafted onto the problem areas at the gumline - - hurt like sh!t at the time, but it solved the problem of the ridiculous sensitivity. Like you, Gnick, he could only drink room-temperature liquids, and forget ice cream. The proceedure wasn't cheap, but it ended up practically paying for itself in the cessation of all the anti-bacterial tools/pastes/washes he had been buying for years.

Yup... . . ..we IS old.

_{Where shall we go??}

Come on vacation with me, I always lose weight. We'll stop in to see T, then head out to walk every street and alley in Spain. Sadly, the rule of travel is that all the cool stuff is always uphill, so we'll be hiking up 45 degree angles a lot.

After 4 weeks of traveling with me you'll be delighted to be home (I always am).

Me 2 Tee!!!

Mee Three Tee!!

Plumber wasn't able to come out until 4pm yesterday, so I was forced to boil pots and pots of water and do all my dishes by hand I HATE doing dishes anyway, let alone by hand. Then I don't think they're clean enough (OCD), no matter how hard I scrub, so I then boiled all my silverware to ensure their sanitiznicity. This plus the mountain of laundry since dh is now home, ended up being a tired and grumpy evening. I did drag my kids' 13" TV from the playroom, locked meselph into the bathroom and took a boiling hot bath and watched the Bachelor. If anyone else is watching that stupid show, he's an idiot I tell ya!! VIENNA?????? WTF????

Today isn't much better, we are short staffed, I'm covering the OR and clinic, I'm on call AND I forgot my phone at home. Calgon, take me away!!

[DingoGirl]

So I go to Whole paycheck Foods (3 bags of groceries plus a 5$ gallon of milk for 108$ ) I get home, grab the 3 bags in one hand, the gallon of milk in the other and try to shut the Prius hatch-dropping the 5$ gallon of moojoo on the driveway, busting open and I'm watching my money flow down the street.

Where's my quote from Tea?? Oh Tea....I had NO idea that this was happening.........just knew summat was wrong with your dad....sooooooo glad you're going to see him (there already? what day is this?)....sending prayers your way......

I've been vegetarian for a while, have slowly given everything up but fish and eggs. I'm trying vegan full-on for 4 weeks to see how do-able it is. I swear Portland has to be the vegan capital of the US!! I saw a portion of the documentary, Food INC, and I need to see the rest of it to see if it was all as horrific as the part I saw. I can't eat eggs now. If I raised my own chickens, I would eat them all day long, but nae from a store, no more!!!!

As for the bachelor, I pheel like I've been losing brain cells as fast as that man is dumping women. I've been OK with his decisions so far, but pseriously, "Princess" VIENNA???? Are you flippin JOKING??? Next week shall be interesting fo'sho!

Helloooooooo??????

Where is everyone????

Well, Skeeter has her GI appt today. I figure we won't have any answers for a while. This will just be the appt to start testing for certain things. I'm leaning towards an allergy at this point . . . although I don't know what it's an allergy of . . . but benedryl seemed to make her stop regurgitating for a while. Since it made her sleepy, we switched to Clariten, but that doesn't seem to work as well. The antacids are all cr@p at this point.
