...watching the semi- final of the world cup.

I think I shall miss the 'vuvuzela' when they're gone :huh:

Spain or Netherlands? Will not miss those swarms of bees. They give me a headache. Do enjoy the jersey swapping. :)

Where in Minnesota? I have lots of family there. Grandma was French Canadian

My mother was born in Appleton, MN in 1925. Her father grew up on the family farm near Mora, MN. The family moved to Washington, DC, in 1927, and then to Berkeley, CA, in 1930.

HEYYY! So did I! smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

What a phab time.. . .. . ..the Chicago river/Lake Michigan cruise with Leeeeesargh and her fantastic friend Chris (an honoUrary Psilly if there ever was one) followed by a terrific dinner @ Maggiano's. Our time went by just too quickly... . ..canna believe we were together the entire afternoon - - seemed like an hour. I really felt.... . ..I dunno, honoUred, methinks, that Lisa came all that way, still battered, trussed up and in some pain, to spend that time with us. Knowing Lisa a bit more now, I realize that this is just something that she would do. wub.gif

Walking to the restaurant, we passed by a real estate office that had pictures on the window of available condos and townhomes in the downtown Chicago area. We immediately picked out THEEE perfect Psilly haven, a lovely big brownstone that we could all throw our money into and where we could meet together several times a year for Psummits. $2,100,000.00. So let's start planning.... . .....

Glad you had fun! Maybe you could check on a condo in Oprah's building.I'm sure they would be just as economical as that brownstone.

Lets' see: Could probably get the brownstone for $2 mil. Figuring 25 psillies that would be about $80,000 each. Hmmmm...

Jess - check my math?

Jess has a phlat?? I've never changed a tire before, but I think I could probably do it. The jacking up part sounds like the worst.

Actually.....I can't believe I did it! Never done anything like that before :P It was like visiting an old friend......well, she IS an old friend, but....you know what I mean. Em and Will were so easy to talk to....such a delight, the two o' them ^_^ We had so much fun.....it definitely ended too soon! And.......I got through the whole day without taking my 'knock me out and feel no pain' pills :D

Chris is THE BEST personal assistant a girl could have.She first became of service to me in Texa$$, then became DD's wedding planner, and now yesterday.....

hmmmm........I could probably hire her out.......

She is an excellent driver, note-taker...

.....handy for carrying things

.....anticipates my needs

.....has a flair for decorating

.....extremely organized

.....multi-tasker

;)

Actually......I think taking off the lug nuts is the worst part.They've either been tightened on so far or rusted on.......you could break a nail trying to get them off! <_<

Not phunny. Tired and run down. Maybe I'm not eating enough, I don't know. Maybe it's cuz I work phull time, have 2 kids on summer break who fight non-stop and I have 9 cakes to do in the next month.... I am thankful for everything, for sure, I just need to learn a bit more balance :rolleyes:

The tiny town I grew up in has it's annual festival this weekend. Tis called "Cheese Days" (No joke, the rival town across the freeway has "Egg Days"--I think we should all come together for a great "omlette days" weekend!! :P ). I have to work tomorrow, but I'm going to head up tomorrow night with my sister and brother. The one tavern in town shuts down the whole block and there's karaoke, lots of booze (which I will NOT be partaking due to last weekend!) and fabulous people watching. Tis the epitomy of hick-ville! Soooo much fun!! :D

OMG!!!!!!! Disaster at me weigh-in (Weight watchers)

I really went for it this week with exercise....in fact I ran a marathon and some when I added up what I did in a week.

Did I lose ANY weight???

Did I french toast!!!!!!!!!! :angry::angry::angry:

Harumphfffffffffff <_<

Next week you'll probably drop more. Jess is right, your muscles may be swollen. I try not to work out the day before I weigh in. Then I weigh in first thing in the morning, necked and after everything's left me body.... :lol: Must be as light as possible!! :P

GAHhhhh!!!... a friend took me to Costco (do you have these??)....I've spent waaaay too much

You got me thinking about a memorable phlat I had. As many of you know, in July of 1994 Jacquie and I drove to Alaska. Sixteen years ago, to the very day, we were here, on a Saturday morning:

img021.webp

The view is looking north from above the Arctic Circle into the Rock River valley. Our progress north was blocked by a phlooded out pherry at Phort McPherson, and so, late in the evening we were returning south. The Dempster Highway crosses the Rock River about 11 miles south of the NWT-Yukon border, and about 24 miles north of the Arctic Circle. There is a Yukon Government campground at Rock River, and we stopped so somebody could use the facilities. The roadway through the campground was fresh crushed gravel with sharp edges. You guessed it--the left rear tire goes phlat. It is quite late, although still light, but there are billions of skeeters. The campground is deserted, so I have to change the tire with their help. :angry:

Got the tire patched the next morning, but two weeks later, again on Saturday evening, that same tire was fatally punctured again. The location was the middle of the town of Jasper, Alberta, which was a much more pleasant place to deal with it.

I have not had another phlat since, and will probably jinx myselph by saying so. :huh:

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
