A week or so after declaring bankruptcy, this cartoon of a couple, spent $60,000 on new furniture because they were going to lose all the other furniture in the bankruptcy auction. If I do something this kooky, you have my permission to make fun of me.

Sold it. It was actually a couple who looked at it during one of my open houses last summer! They loved it and looked at a few other homes but always compared them against ours. They came back with an offer around the end of July :)

We pack well, don't we?

Darn210 Enthusiast

I'm just thankful that she doesn't ask us to help pack and load furniture.

By the way, did I mention that we bought a house?? . . . OK, OK . . . so it's the same house that we bought last time . . . we refinanced and are doing a 15 year loan so at least we chopped about 7 years off the amount of time it will take us to pay this puppy off . . . and there is no packing or lifting of furniture involved.

May pack up my kitchen and forget where all the pans are to avoid everyone at Thanksgiving.

Just place a couple of sofas, lazy boy recliners and stacked double beds in the kitchen doorway, and around your dining room. They'll never get in to eat, so you won't need to cook a thing! :rolleyes:

Good plan! For the last several years, my mom is too crippled up to cook, my sister has had a broken oven (parents gave her money for a new one 2 years ago for Xmas) so most of the cooking, cleaning, etc is left to my family. I'm lucky that everyone can cook and even the boys will make the desserts or help. Now that I have to eat gluten-free, I don't want anyone bringing food in. They don't get the CC risk of 30 year old pans & cutting boards. Now I will always have to do my husbands side, too. We used to alternate with the brother in town. Maybe between the furniture blockades and really bad gluten-free food, people will leave me alone! Will just serve pickles, lettuce and that god-awful Energeze (sp?) tapioca bread!

Hi everybody!!!! I know I've been a horribly unattentive psillie, I really do mean to get in here more. My boyfriends been filling our free time with lots of stuff like kayaking and trips to family and friends, so I haven't had any time on the weekends and I'm usually too busy during the week.

I'm here now because I've got shingles!!!! All over my face!! Around my eye, cheek, lips, ear and all over my left scalp. Shingles SUCKS. And my employers don't want me anywhere near their customers, duh. I've got Vicodin for the pain, works pretty good. It's taken about 80% of the pain away, and makes me a little happy/fuzzy, which I don't mind. The biggest problem with shingles is the pain, it's in my jaw and ear and up my head and down my neck. The rash is annoying, but compared with that bout with poison sumac last year it ain't a big deal. I just feel bad for my boyfriend, I don't look very pretty right now......

What are you guys up to? I see Patee's FINALLY moving, yay!! Is Jess still burning the candle at both ends? Have we solved Skeeters vomiting puzzle? That was Skeeter, right? My Vicodin brain can't think of anything else.... be back tomorrow, since I won't be at work!!!

mushroom Proficient

Yeay, we had a Bun-Bun visit. Gosh, so sorry to hear about your shingles, that's horrible :o , but enjoy the Vicodin fluzzies :D

You missed the international psilly psummit between Jess and Knick at Heathrow - yep, Jess is akshually on vacation in Spain where she will remain mainly in the plane plain and stay out of the rain and not get hit by a train while she's raisin' Kane cane Cain. :blink:

OMG.. .. . .unsure.gif . . I thought youse guys were talking about our Psillie Theresa (Tuhreeeeesuh). .. ...I was frantically trying to remember if we had heard that T was auctioning off all of her life's belongings, having declared bankruptcy.. . ..I even rushed over to Da Book and checked out her profile page. unsure.gifrolleyes.gif .. . .. . . ....Thank gawd, I was remiss.. . ...!

Gear gawd, mehopes none of these folks were celiac... . . . ...Hell, I accidentally ingest gluten, I absolutely do NOT want large furniture pieces blocking me way to the bathroom .. . . .. . ..dry.gif

Gawd no! We would never openly discuss and joke about this happening normally, but the show is all about these people putting themselves "out there" so to speak. Teresa (in the show) makes a grand display of spending thousands of dollars in a typical shopping trip to buy furniture for her 10,000 sq. ft. home or clothes for her daughters and then it comes out that she and her husband are in the hole for $11 million.

Kind of "reality TV" meets soap opera wink.gif

Judy and Bunnie posting on the same page!!! How's about them apples??!!!

Hi ya guys.

Bunnie, so sorry about the shingles. Dope yerselph up real good and start typing like Jess under the influence and we'll see if we can figger it out.

Skeeter's vomitousness went into remission over the summer . . . hmmmmmm . . . with one incident that occurred at day camp . . . hmmmmm. The school nurse asked me to get a note from the doctor asking for a gluten free classroom (kids are allowed to bring in peanut free snacks). I obliged even though I was reluctant for Skeeter to be named the bad guy. The nurse took it to the principal and actually got snacks banned from all the classrooms . . . which is good . . . and Skeeter's name was not used . . . which is better. It's now just a general policy due to "too many alergies in the classrooms to have to keep track of safe snacks".

kareng Grand Master

Hi Bunnie! I was wondering about you. Sorry about the shingles. Do post indoor the influence. Trying to decipher it will be like a game.

Glad we could bring a little laughter to Judy's day!

I never had reactions to much of anything allergic like. But I did find that some of the cleaning liquids used in public places would burn/ itch my skin. I wonder if there is something they clean with at school that could be bothering Skeeter.

Oh, Buhgnee.. . . . . . ....shingles. :( I'm so sorry to hear you're hung up with this.... ..DH was afflicted about ten years ago -- 'twas not fun.

Speaking of skin afflictions, why is it that no one ever seems to get boils or carbuncles anymore? I remember my dad talking about having them as a kid, and how they were not uncommon in my grandparents' age..... . ..have they gone the way of the dodo?

...... . . . . ...Or perhaps I'm simply not fraternizing with boil-prone peeps.. . . ..... :huh:

I've had boils! Much less painful than shingles.

I was actually typing under the influence earlier, Vicodin only makes me a little fuzzy. I was honestly hoping for a lot more fuzzy, I'm pretty darn drug resistant. I was hoping for something to lay me out flat. But 80% pain reduction sure ain't bad, thinking I might add Advil, see if that combo helps, or go back and forth, we'll see. I guess all the girls at work went and Googled shingles when they found out I had it and they all feel so bad for me now.... It was awfully sweet. My GM doesn't want me in there oozing on customers, so I may be stuck at home til this blows over anyway, which is FINE with me. I'm ok financially for a few weeks, and I was not thrilled at the prospect of having to work through this pain, I'll tell ya. I'm gonna sit home and watch my Netflix and eat squishy foods, since I can't chew.... Wish I could justify a pint of Haagen Dazs...........

kareng Grand Master

You feel sooooo very awful. It's hard to eat. Really the best food to treat shingles is premium ice cream. I'm sure I saw a medical study on that. Yes, it was 3 separate studies now that I think about it. Sorry, I can't find them right now to reference them. Trust me. ;)

jerseyangel Proficient

my sister has had a broken oven (parents gave her money for a new one 2 years ago for Xmas)

Methinks she spent the oven money on sumphin else so youse guys would have to keep doin' the cooking?

We always had holidays, phamily partys, etc at our house when we still lived in our hometown--it took moving away to another state to get us off the hook :lol:

Hi everybody!!!!

Hi Bun-knee!! Ugh--so sorry 'bout the shingles, they sound miserable :( Take good care of yerselph and tune in here fer chuckles.

Thanks Shroom--now I have "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" tune from "My Fair Lady" stuck in me 'ead! :lol: (One of me favorite musicals ;))

Tis so nice to have them poop in!

Good deal about the new snack policy--and that Skeeter's name was left out of it :)

Speaking of skin afflictions, why is it that no one ever seems to get boils or carbuncles anymore?

<snort> I had a carbuncle removed from me hairline a couple years ago--actually 3 of them :ph34r: The derm had a long, $5 name for them, but said that that is what they are sometimes refered to....he froze them off.

Yep--I know I read that same study too!! Get thee a couple pints of Hagan Das--toot de sweet! :D

My thought exactly! The stove top burners work and the microwave is separate & works. It just means that its hard to cook a turkey or rolls, etc for a family dinner. Last Xmas, not knowing my parents had given them the money for an oven 2 years before, I offered to get them a nice convection/toaster oven thingie. Sis didn't want that.

My Thanksgiving plan was to go to Disney but because of school stuff, we went this summer. :unsure:

So I remembered the Coconut Dream stuff? The stuff the Soy Delicious people make out of coconut milk that's made with agave instead of sugar! I get to have that instead of Haagen Dazs! My mother's bringing some over along with refried beans (tasty and squishy and nutritious with cheese) and some frozen spinach for soup. Hopefully I won't starve. It's hard to get up the chutzpah to eat when I have to get past the huge nasty bubble on my lip and the pain in my jaw. I've been making protein shakes and squishy eggs but at some point I will need meat......

So I talked to my work again today and apparently there's at least two people that never had the chickpox. Geez, what kinda parents do these people have? :) :)

By the way- thanks you guys. You are all so completely awesome, and I couldn't ask for better friends, near or far away like you all are. It's made me feel so much better to have people to talk to.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
