*high five* on the charging of electrical goods Geoss!!!..... I myselph consider it a great achievement (gaaawd, charging the ipod requires a torch AND a magnifying glass to get the usb thingy in the hole :blink:)

This is an example of when having a child is handy. My boys can see the hole thingy for the usb in the dark. Oh to have young eyes again! :mellow:

I have accomplished my to do list for the evening which consisted of:

plug in mp3 player

plug in laptop

I am astonished by my own industriousness....

You are simply amazing! :P

Actually, wanna trade places?? ;)

don't tempt me........I'll be drivin' up with a Kitteh and a Sweet Oui-zell in no time :wub: (they are both real People Persons :) )

the 3's of you's are welcome anytime!

:lol: :lol: Um.........I do this ANY time I bring something EVILLE into my house.......if you eat it all in one day, you just do NOT have to worry about it after that :lol:

I think about it this way: Regardless of WHEN you eat said food, it totals the same amount of calories. If you eat it in 1 sitting or 5, it's the SAME amount of calories! Pheel phree to eat it at once!!! :D :D

So this morning around 11 I applied online for a job and around 2 they called me for an interview! Holy FRIGGIN crap! It's TOMORROW! These people really want this position filled... Um, what do I wear if it says 'business casual' on their website? Trousers, heeled fancy boots, and a buttondown? I gotta do the laundry....

Congrats & Good luck! My hub is in HR & he would probably say to dress a little nicer than they do. Maybe a blazer with the shirt. I'm assuming the boots are under the pants? Not too tight pants or any cleavage. You probably know all this but you might not believe the stuff women wear to work these days.

Oddly enough, I have to work hard to look my age. I tend to be so very conservative with my clothes that fun, friendly places to work think I'm stuffy and annoying. I used to work a hotel front desk so I KNOW what people wear to interviews, it's just unreal. A wifebeater? Really? And no, I'm not tucking my pants in my boots! I am planning on dark brown, perfectly fitted trousers, brown heeled boots, light blue fitted shortsleeved knit top, and also perfectly fitted tan jacket with 3/4 sleeves. And big buttons. Does that sound too stuffy? I'm going for fitted because I tend to choose loose clothing and it makes me look frumpy. And I can take the jacket off and the knit top will still look very nice.

Sounds lovely, bunnie! I didn't think you were going to tuck your pants into your best cowboy boots (unless its a saddle company) but.... I had someone bring a baby (& someone she met on the bus on the way over to watch the baby) to an interview. As soon as I heard that a stranger was with the baby in the outer office, I couldn't go on. I had to check the baby was still there.

I'm in the middle of a sobfest right now. I can't stop crying. I've been asking and answering a lot of hard questions in the past 2 weeks and I just had a major realization that we want 2 different things from our relationship, I feel like we are moving in the right direction to meet in the middle and nothing I ever do is enough. He asks something of me, I comply 100% of what I have in me and it's never enough. I'm crying all the freaking time and I HATE it. Why am I not enough? I asked him this and he had no answer... I'm a freakin wreck.

I'm really sorry, I shouldn't dump. I just needed to get it out and my son's sleeping and I can't scream :( I'm gonna go bake that cake now.

Aw Rah-shell :( I hate to see you so upset...please keep coming to us because that is what friends are for. I really hope you two can find some common ground about all of this. You've been working so hard in so many different directions right now, and you really need a break. I'm glad that you have your baking as a sort of outlet...

I suppose it depends on what job she is applying for? Business casual is different for different industries. <_<

I had someone bring a baby (& someone she met on the bus on the way over to watch the baby) to an interview. As soon as I heard that a stranger was with the baby in the outer office, I couldn't go on. I had to check the baby was still there.

You can't fill a hole in someone else's soul. Your job is to enhance his life, not complete it, that's up to him to do. You are a vibrant, intelligent, loving woman and you are more than enough for someone who isn't hiding from themselves. You can't fix him. You can't make him see you for who you are. You CAN be the most amazing you that you are. Stop waiting for his approval, just be quietly awesome, as you already are. He will, or he won't, realize what he may be losing, but what he realizes is up to him, not you.

You are welcome to come up to Bainbridge for a weekend, if you don't mind construction and no kitchen. We can drink heavily and you can scream all you want.

      Probiotics

      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.

      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.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
