Does anyone else dream about dead family members? I had a dream last night that my father and I were in Africa and that security had been told we had a bomb so we had to throw out everything in our luggage?.... :ph34r: :ph34r:

Not a family member, but I dream about a dead person now and again and it's always nice to see him. :)

Actually, last night I slept better than I have in a while--my neck/shoulder didn't wake me up....anyway, I was dreaming a normal, pleasant dream--woke up for a couple minutes, and when I fell back asleep the dream resumed :rolleyes:

YEAH!!! IT'S MONDAY!!!!! Hubby's back at work and dd's back in school!!!! I HAVE MY HOUSE BACK!!!!! I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown yesterday with everybody barking orders at me from every room in the house. Don't mean to be insensitive, but when dh is sick or down, he's like 3 kids :rolleyes:

Me likey phoul mouth Ptaum! You's speaking my language :lol:

Maybe she'll have even better, more inappropriate, things to say. :)

That's what I was gonna say :P Actually, I was going to say it yesterday buuutttt, computer was acting up!

I'm fairly certain you wouldn't let your kids run wild through the aisles and crowd around the sample stands yelling

"MOM!! CAN WE HAVE SOME??????"

to you while you are still on the other side of the store

But what about the parents who park their carts in the middle of the freakin aisle to wait for the samples what aren't even ready yet. You can't get around them and they won't move till they've got their sample!!! I refuse to go to Costco on Sunday's. It's like the peep's have done their duty by going to church and then the go to Costco and turn EVIL!!! I actually had some lady run her cart right into my 8mo giant pregnant belly trying to get to a sample and she said NOTHING to me as I'm doubled over and she zooms past me :blink:

Quite true. Mine would text me. :P

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I just spoke with her minutes ago, and she is being released this morning. I have to go do some stuphph at the store, and then will be picking her up. She should be home by noon. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Yeah Peetah and Jacquie!!!!!

I have dreamt about them at the time they died or when they thought they were dieing. Creepy right? When oldest was 2-4 years old he used to see a "Grampa" in his room. It made him feel happy.

I love when everyone goes back to school & work. M(14) tried to tell me how many weeks of school left but I got severe stomach pains & couldn't hear. ;)

I have been at stores & actually caught children as they are falling out of carts. Parents aren't paying any attention. I see 2-3 year olds wandering off for 5 minutes & no parent or big brother folllowing. I keep an eye on them & then when either the kid or the mom notices I can point them in the right direction. I think my boys were about 12 & 9 before I would let them stay at the video section at Costco or Target & only together. I would sneak back & spy on them to make sure they were behaving OK. Must have worked. So far they are good kids - no arrests, babies, bad grades.

Recently at Borders, Mark literally saved a little boy from falling down the escilator. We saw what was likely about to happen and went running over--the mom was in an aisle looking at books and hardly blinked an eye when I told her he was about to take a tumble. <_< Scared the living daylights outta me!

So I microwave my fish stew and I'm sitting in the lunch room to eat it. A woman from the other lab walks by, stops, sniffs, looks concerned and says, sceptically, fish??

Yes, I say, and start to babble about how I didn't think about the smell of microwaving fish....

She waves her hand and says -no, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a chemical spill or something.

Know this has been discussed - but I finally tried Udi's white bread.

I am quite certain it was the best ham and cheese sandwich I've had in close to 6 years----by far. (and how has it been that long?!)

Wow. All the buzz on that bread is correct.

can not WAIT to try this bread! am askeert to have it in my house, however.......I can envision toast w/ butter and honey going on at all hours of day and night :ph34r:

Quite true. Mine would text me.

:lol: *snackle*

Nope, just a thud and the bottom fell out :blink:

:unsure: whot? you okay Shroom? :lol:

Mmmm Udi's

A few months ago I was dying to finally retry something w/ yeti yeast - zero since candida "dx" in '05 & last yr bloodtest for candida antibodies was neg (well, highest of 3 meas was an 8 where 10 is "positive") - so poking around WhF saw they'd gotten the much-balleyhooed Udi's.

I was PSYCHED!!!

Before finding the Udi's, I thought I was gonna try something from WhF g f bakery but EVERY DAMN THING THEY MAKE HAS SOY FLOUR!!!!!

<ugh it takes me so long to compose #$%^& sentences these days>

:( Ptaum........still feeling perfumed/soyed, etc? This makes me sad.......SO want you to be better! Been too long.......should you just be living in a bubble by now? :(

Over a year ago, maybe 2, my microwave developed a mind of it's own......not counting down or heating up, but still running......not stopping when I want it to.........running when I DON'T want it to.......

Then it thought better of it and decided to behave.

Well now it's doin' it's own thang again! :angry:

:huh: Um..........Leesargh.......methinks yer microwave is in cahoots wif Geoss's toaster..........PUT HER DOWN! Get a NEW ONE! (microwave) I'm sure it's emitting evil.........diodes and stuff :wacko:

Yay!! back home, good news Poeter! She'll be much more comfy there, wiv you and all kittehs :wub:

Bun Bun.........my dad died 22 years ago and just in the last couple of years, I am dreaming of him ALL the time. Last night, in fact, and earlier in the week........VERY bizarre scenarios.........not Africa, but - the bottom of the ocean, and houses that were being razed........all kinds of weird stuff

Hugs on three-year anniversary - wow, he must have been young :( Mine was only 56.......

After my mom died, I dreamt that her parents (deceased) came to me and told me Mom had been adopted.

I had my brother looking through all our records after that.....really freaked me out! :unsure:

I have a system now.

Set the time.

Shut the door.

When it starts running and I hadn't pushed START, yet (because it's not cooking OR counting down), hit the top right corner sharply. It will stop.

THEN push START.

Works every time ;)

hey....don't knock it! It's what Brian was instructed to use on his stump every day. :P

Also used as needed on little Lexi's bottom :)

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
