YAY, Patteigh! This sounds like the perfect way to bring up kids -- relaxed with boundaries. And it certainly helps if DH is completely on board... . . .the odd time Will and I disagree on kid matters (he is more strict than I), but a happy medium is reached, and what the hell, our two are not out setting fires, beating up other kids or carving someone's initials on their arms... . .. . ..think we're okay... :rolleyes:

Looked around my house & most of my paintings do not have glass on them. Only the small ones & the ones in dark corners. Wasn't that smart of me? Also, all mirrors are of the waist up varity so you cannot see your bum.

This is ingenious, Kherrighnne. I think I need to hang ALL of my mirrors about six inches from the ceiling - - therefore, I would myself see from the nose up. My eyes are okay, and I have decent cheekbones. NO, WAIT!.... . . ... :unsure: . . . ....... .I have crappy hair.... . . .hmm. P'raps NO reflective surfaces.... . . ..:lol:

I always gain weight in the summer because of all of the fruit I eat. They're called "personal" watermelons, but I really don't think they're meant to be eaten by one person in one sitting :rolleyes::P

Mygawd... . ..... . never heard of these....Little, personal watermelons? Like a personal pizza? Strikes me as quite phunny, somehow. . . . . .. ... . :lol:

HAHAHAHAHAHA! How are you this clever this early in the morning? Oh wait, different time zones :P

I wish that were true! I always gain weight in the summer because of all of the fruit I eat. They're called "personal" watermelons, but I really don't think they're meant to be eaten by one person in one sitting :rolleyes::P

I'm clever in any time zone! ;)

When we were kids, we got the locally grown giagantic watermelons. Cut them in 5 chunks (1 for each person) & eat that huge piece at one sitting. I'm sure there must have been some bathroom reprecussions but I don't remember.

So M, the 14 year old, is working on his Boy Scout badge "Family Life". He had to discuss family finances with us then he will have to tell a merit badge counselor what he learned. His dad said, " Tell them that in this ecomomy, we have had to lay off 2 gardeners, 1 house maid, and the baker. The poor cook is reduced to baking without wheat flour."

True dat! :P And having actually met your kids, I can honestly say they are both intelligent, funny, and absolutely delightful. :D

:lol: My Jack is in cub scouts, and had to cook the family a meal in order to earn this very same badge, I believe. He put two frozen pizzas in the oven - - one gluten-free, the other one not - - and did NOT earn it. <_<:lol:

I've seen those. They're pretty small. By the time you cut off the rind, I can't believe there would be too much left. I'm sure I could eat it in one sitting.

Patti, I'm sending you one Skeeter and one Smackl via UPS. Don't worry, I've poked holes in the box and written "Fragile" on it. I'm sure they'll make the trip just fine.

I live in Kansas. We have tornado parties - pack up snacks, drinks, pillows & head to the basement.Last tornado season, the weather station was tracking one that stayed up in the clouds. It was directly over one of the boys friend's house & they were texting each other about it. :P

Well, thankfully nothing happened. It's still pretty dark, but the warning has expired.

I (we) were consistent about many things from an early age--among them--school work/home work, drugs, honesty, respect for others and their belongings, fair play--ya know, don't be a jerk.

Oh yes, definitely those. And be yourself.....don't follow the crowd.

Hmmm. . .... . .tomatillos?... . .. .. . ....I believe there is a variety aptly named pear tomato..... . ...think that'd be me.... .. ... ...<_<

I need everyone's expert advice. DH and I had been planning a trip to New Orleans in early July. We have not booked anything yet, and now that this horrific oil spill in the Gulf has occurred and there seems to be no end in the near future... . . ..well, we are re-considering. We would be going down for the incredible seafood, the touristy sights of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River (which have been and/or could be horribly desecrated by this disaster), all the sights and smells of the American South (again, badly affected).. . .. ....and, of course, the incredible music, which will always be there!

The tourist industry in NO has already felt the brunt of this - - I've been on a few websites of B&Bs and small hotels in the city, and they have closed for reservations until further notice.

What would you guys do? Would you still head down there? We are casting our eyes to the near south - - I would LOVE to see Chicago. We won't have time nor the funds, likely, to do the southwest (I'll get there one day, Sooozle and Judy)! and we were out west last summer (missed you, Jyesss - - next time!)... . ....just dunno. . .... . ...

That oil spill... . . . ....so horrific.. . . . ... :(

Hmmmm, come to Oahu wif us in August..... ;)

Always wanted to go to Chicago too, early July would probably be good too, not too hot yet. Have you looked at any travel boards re: New Orleans to see what people have posted of recent trips down there (since the spill)? It might still be OK....

How'd the Open House go? Anyone besides the neighbors come by? If you don't sell, does the company buy the house? Or are you stuck in TX for the duration? I hate selling houses. I think I'll stay in this house forever. Then the kids will have to deal with it. :P

A couple came by for the second time. No idea what they're thinking. Yep, I'm here until it sells....Don't think I'm ever doing this again.....

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
