It was a rainy day in Toronto. A very rainy day, with an inch expected over 24 hours. If I wanted weather like this I'd have moved to Vancouver. :D

You could live in Kansas City. We got about 3 inches yesterday. Worse for the dog is that there was thunder most of the day. He wouldn't go out to do his bodily business until it stopped and Hub went with him at 10:30 pm.

Your hub won't go out to do his poops or pees in thunderstorms either? They both must have been dancing around the back door 'til 10:30.. .. . ..

:P

Me, too.. . . . . there's no comparison! I don't actually roast them that often.. . . . . ....when I do, I just keep throwing them back by the handful. :ph34r:

There's, what, 200 calories in a single almond?

:lol: :lol: He looks quite heeelarryus. Like a little, gangly teenager, tripping over his big paws but carrying around a rather mature haircut. Elsie is now having trouble pinning him down - - he's growing into those feet!

My Vancouver or yours ;) It's been muggy, rainy and sunny :blink: . The muggieness is soooo uncomfortable. You look outside, see it's raining, pull on a sweater and Ugg's, walk outside and you're sweating buckets in 2 seconds :blink: Make up yer mind!!! :rolleyes:

So the 4th grade classes were split. 23 kids in each class. DD decided that she wanted to stay with the current teacher bc she loves her to pieces. That means that she will just have to deal with the boy, keep her distance and keep her eyes and ears open-as will I!!

Good practice for life. Learning to recognize and deal with a wierd guy will help her later, too. Who knows, this year he might like another girl to torment. I remember you said his Dad died. Unfortunately, my boys have had several friends who have lost fathers. Seems like they do OK for 6-12 months then have about a year of problems. Being boys, the anger and hurt comes out as agression. Not acceptable, certainly. Hopefully, he is getting help for that. Good luck!

I agree! Also, it's her body, she has bo be in charge of it. She needs to learn how to stand up for herself and not allow anyone to treat her poorly. She does a pretty good job, I am very proud of the way she has dealt with all of this-very mature! They're going to have the 'puberty' talk in school soon and even though we've discussed most of it already, it will be good for us to sit down together and have a refresher. She's mortified, of course ;)

Ok, I have an evil plan forming in my head. I'm hoping it comes with huges laughs from my mom and step-dad, but I need opinions before I do it....

Preface--All my family = huge UW fans. Purple and Gold all the way.... Me, I'm an outcast because I defected and went to the rival school WSU (and met hubby, major family loyalty to WSU)-- Crimson and grey 4ever!! :P

Sooooo, my mom and stepdad are having a huge UW season kickoff party tomorrow and my mom wanted me to do a cake. I'm planning on doing a replica of the UW football helmet, purple and gold. But..... she didn't specify what kind of cake she wanted, so I'm thinking of doing a red velvet with a grey tinted buttercream, so when my stepdad cuts into it..... SURPRISE!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Well, I think I'm phunny! :P

My Vancouver or yours ;)

I was thinking of Vancouver, BC, where they have what they call "liquid sunshine" on the majority of days outside of summer. This is from being right on the coast. Your Vancouver is a ways inland.

Today is bright and sunny. B)

Reminds me of the movie Steel Magnolias...the groom's cake is a giant armadillo with grey icing. They comment on how gross grey icing is.

I'm sooooo gonna do it!

Good for her!

Yup.....our annual sex-ed discussion is coming up, too. Time to refresh my memory on some signs I don't normally use on a typical day :rolleyes:

Must be prepared for anything. The older they get, the more graphic the questions :ph34r:

Will preface this with: no humans or other living beings harmed. J was coming home from football practice tonight ( game was last night). He was in a line of cars full of fb players going home. A car that had nothing to do with fb, had the gall to stop to make a left turn into a gated road. They use a garage door opener thingy to open the gate. The kid in front of J slammed on the brakes. J slammed on the brakes. Kid behind him didn't stop in time. Wish I had taken a pic of his Toyota. It's totaled at about 20 mph. J's old ford truck has slight bumper damage. It adds character to his beater truck. The police officer seemed to see the humor in it. I asked the kid that hit J if he learned anything from this. He said," not to follow so close". I said, " actually I was thinking that now you know what to do if you have another wreck."

This happened 1 block from our house so they called me. I asked did I need to bring duct tape or string to tie anything up on either car. J - no my cars fine. Friends car doesn't have anything dragging. I get there & all the fluids are leaking, the whole front end is crumpled up to the windshield ( friends car). But nothing was dragging! :)

Glad you had phun Leese!!

My friend is a fitness instructor & she's just done the Zumba workshop. It's starting at my gym next month.

Anyhoo - she didn't actually rate it that much unsure.gif - she already teaches 'Body Jam' and thinks this is much better.

I really couldn't say as I don't do ANY of the dancey type exercise classes (am cr@p at them! laugh.gif)

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      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.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      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.
