Last spring break, when we were in Vancouver & Whistler every one was so nice & polite. A couple of people told me that they were asked by the local goverment to be very nice to tourists so Canada can have our money in this bad economy. :P

My boys are 14 & 17. Older one would have liked a tarantula or snake, younger - a large lizard. We decided we couldn't take care of them to keep them happy. Have had rescued rodents: a rat & several guinea pigs. Never a giant squid or cute kitten. Lizard might eat kitten?

I wonder what it'll be like to have kids that age. I think animals are great for kids, but some scary hairy legged ones just scare some folks, including his mom/dad. On a better note, he did find furry animals to love last year. Horses. Bad news is we can't keep one here. He's considering getting cuttle fish. We'll see.

:unsure::blink:

threaten to feed her to whatever dangerous creature her brother ends up with.

I mean...with which her brother ends up

no...up with which, her brother ends

LOL!

Well, we had chatted about that in my dementia from gluten agony. I'm a terrible parent when I'm glutened! To make it short, he joked about a school of Dosidicus gigas, giant humboldt squid getting revenge. But shortly after, he wanted me to know he was just "making fun" to make me feel better, and didn't want his sister on any giant squid adventure, where she might fall off the boat and be eaten.

One of his favorite days was my worst, full of sickness and intense vomitting (folks here can relate? If not I apologize). I took him with me where he might see and experience giant squid for himself, that he's talked about since age 2.

He never got seasick, but made sure to let me know, "everybody's throwing up ALOT, just like you dad!" The swells were pretty big that night. It was one of his best expeditions, not mine at all, but the specimens were incredible! Each suction cup had a ring of "exacto' razor blades. I cut myself pretty good after this photo barely feeling the tentacles.

Sorry, Psills, I do know this is Psillyville and all, but t'is not a psilly night for this Psilly. Miss Mary passed on to a better life today :( T'is better she did so though, because the alternative of institutionalization would not have been at all a happy one for her. She had been hospitalized for ten days for "assessment" and the recommendations were way beyond what we had anticipated. Such a feisty, proud, independent lady could never have tolerated such an indignity. So whilst it is sad, she has been spared much suffering :rolleyes:

Oh Neroli . . . I'm so sorry . . . but I do think you are right. From your description of her, she would not have been happy in some sort of a facility (and you would not have been happy to see her there.) Treasure her memories and tell her stories. :wub:

WHAT IS THIS???? I need more details . . . where did this adventure take place? My 10 year old was watching over my shoulders and his mouth hung open in awe. This is the sort of thing that would go over big time in my family . . . vomitous or not.

Sounds pretty important. Hope all works out well for you and your family! :)

Yeah, fortunately for you, you missed a lot of details of my daughter's (Skeeter) health . . . the summary of which is we're fed up with the doctor and going someplace better!!!

'Mornin', Psills!

Shroomie, I am SO sorry about Miss Mary. It was really enjoyable to read all of the wonderful, funny and poignant things you said about her here. She was a Psilly by Proxy if there was ever anyone as such.. . .. .. ..... . ..be thinking of you. :wub:

Well, we had chatted about that in my dementia from gluten agony. I'm a terrible parent when I'm glutened!

Hey! Jack (my 13 year-old son who has been rattling off mind-numbing facts and obscure trivia since kindergarten) talks about the cuttlefish with some fondness and fascination, as well. He would advise you, Da, with your personality-going-south gluten episodes, to absolutely pick up a tankful of these li'l guys. The ink or liquid they excrete, sepia, is well-known in alternative medicine to help with depression and anger issues. I occasionally have a few drops of it when my period starts and it's a bad one - - like, I hate the entire world. I believe that it does, indeed, take the edge off.. .. . .

You would need to cultivate this ink yourself, however. Hmm...... . .what do these creature look like? Scary spikes and suction cups? Can they cut you up if you try to milk them? :huh::lol:

I've heard that is an excellant hospital. My cousins have taken kids there with rare conditions & gotten help.

I wonder what it'll be like to have kids that age. I think animals are great for kids, but some scary hairy legged ones just scare some folks, including his mom/dad. On a better note, he did find furry animals to love last year. Horses. Bad news is we can't keep one here. He's considering getting cuttle fish. We'll see.

Teenage boys are still boys just larger & they like girls. Train them now to be helpful & its easier to get them to do stuff later. 10 year old should do his own laundry for example.

Maybe he would like a rat. Not nearly as awful as some think. Very interactive. Can train them (or they train you). Guinea pigs are friendly & cuddly. Rabbits are fun too. GPs & Buns are not hypoallergenic if thats an issue.

Looks like a fun trip. My boys would like that.

Hi Psillies- I am just pooping in to offer my condolences to Shroomie about Miss Mary. She sounded like a wonderful proxy Psilly. But I am glad that she didn't suffer. I will keep her and you in my thoughts. (((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Yes, and hopefully by teenagehood they have outgrown the suction cup/ spike/tentacle fascination... . .. ..otherwise, they may start bringin' home some unfortunate-looking girls.. .. . . . ....:rolleyes::lol:

14 yr old still likes snakes & reptiles but gets it out of system by working at a summer day camp. Mine are also interested in Robotics & cars. Not good hobbies to meet girls. (sigh of relief)

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
