Just because nobody understands you, it doesn't make you an artist.

:lol: SOoOooO true!

Hey, we've had a couple o' newbies glance in and then promptly exit, for good, it seems. Probably thinking, "wow, there's a quiet thread"... . ....

We've gotta get everyone back and psilly, to keep this new blood around! Kareng, it has gotten crazy around here in times past, with pages flipping by at breakneck speed, talk of wondrous things that you'll laugh about in bed at night, royal ascensions and takedowns, shopping lists, ethical dilemmas involving either li'l feet protruding from your chin or a li'l bum on your forehead.... . . ...... . ..

And it will come back to this! Gotsta get the regulars BACK!

I am back from the depths of hell. Worked 12 days straight - some long-a$$ days, did two computer class homeworks (20-30 hours each) AND my room mate moved out!!! :D :D :D :D :D

For those of you that have forgotten, room mate is my ex. Was not the most pleasant of living conditions. Now my house is empty and peaceful, well, other than the kitchen getting worked on it's peaceful, but still, I'll take it.

It's funny that you don't realize how much stress something is causing you until it's gone. I feel like I've been carting bricks around, and I've finally put them down.

So today, the plan is to wash the jeans (that I've been wearing for 12 days straight :ph34r: :ph34r: ), buy food, since I am down to canned tomatoes, and start moving boxes into my newly empty room..... After siting quietly in my peaceful house and enjoying my coffee...

Empty house??? :unsure:

This has all the makings of a psilly take over bid!!!!

WELL done Em for NOT mentioning anal glands in the presence of a noo-bee ..... Ooops...think I just did :rolleyes:

Ginger hair not so bad...had dulled down a tad, only really visible when the light catches it (after furious washes!! :lol: )

Bunn-gnee!!... so sorry to hear 'bout your job loss :( ... but, sounds as if you'd come to the end of the road anyway <_<

Sometimes you feel better when you've given in to the inevitable.

We got about 5-6 inches of snow yesterday here in Kansas City. My 13 year old had to shovel most of it so he says we got 10 inches. Also, I'm naturally "ginger" & try hard & at great expense to remain "ginger."

Speakin' of The Ripper . . . and the chin feet and such . . . when is he going to pose us another kwestion? We haven't had one in some time now.

A box truck picked our cul-de-sac to try and turn around in. I saw him pulling in and yelled out to my husband "Come look at this guy!! What in Hell is he doing?? He's going to get stuck!!!" Within minutes, he was. Hubby went out to help dig him out and also to get his name for when he hit our mailbox. Now I told me hubby to let him hit the mailbox, because we need a new one. So what happens?? The guy was planning on trying to back into our drive and hubby warns him to cut the wheel sharp so he doesn't hit our mailbox. I guess this concerned the guy that he tried to pull forward instead and started sliding and hit our neighbor's mailbox!!!! They didn't need a new mailbox!!! We did!!! I told my hubby it was all his fault we didn't get a new mailbox out of the deal. <_< . . . :lol::lol:

Welllll, now, I guess that explains his attractions. I had never understood Sven's mysterious powers to punish ourselves (never having availed meselph of his services), but now I'm beginnin' to see the light

I tell ya, the Brits have never been the same since they lost the Empire.... Thought it was all the chimpanzees they was sending to NZ and OZ....turns out it was all the BRIGHT chimpanzees who have e-v-o-l-v-e-d to type the complete works of Shakespeare on their computers while the Brits can't even seem to make boilers!! (what dat??) that work. Still on steam heat???

A big HELLOOOO to Caerinn(g), another target to pick on. May ye have many interesting quirks! (lost me emoticons on this 'puter for some reason, stoopid (pine)Apple.)

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
