Watching SNL. Got an idea for Russell's costume. The girl said she went last year wrapped in cellophane. She was a left-over.

Hmmm. Was the cellophane the only thing she was wrapped in? That certainly would be an attention-getter. :ph34r:

Phamily phun around here. MIL broke her hip and/or femur on Friday and is in hospital. She underwent surgery yesterday evening. As you may recall, she has dementia. She keeps trying to get out of bed, so she has been restrained. The four children are taking turns mom sitting, since she can't feed herself with the restraints on. Jacquie is doing her daughterly duty as I type this.

O......M......G!!!! You TOTALLY spelled me name wrong!

Ahhhhh. . ..welcome to Psillyville, dear one... . . . .....;)

(((((((sigh)))))))) Yes.... . . . ... . . . ...moms are hard. :( and :exhaustedface:

But they are SO worth it.

POeter, I'm thinking about you and Jacquie, and your poor MIL. A hospital is such an unhappy, stressful place to be when old and sick. And it ain't great for the support system/advocates, either... .. . . ....hang in there!

Agree with Em. We have successfully found " the one" ( eyes rolling) so we must know what we are doing.

The whole concept of dating as an adult is so bizarre. We discuss our parents and house renovations. I don't think tv or favorite band has come up once. :rolleyes: "Getting to know each other" consists of comparing commute times and refinance experiences. Could there be anything more dull to talk about?

Actually, yes.

The fact that a kid needs a parent to get his laundry out so kid can do his.

The need to water the lawn tomorrow.

Who's taking the kid to Scouts.

See...dating is exciting. Feel free to use any of these topics on your date.

What I find exciting is kid does his own laundry :o:D

MIL update. J is back and tells me that her mother is on some SERIOUS pain meds after the surgery which are affecting her judgement. She is as high as a kite and is experiencing an escape from reality (can I get some of the stuff?). Anywho, the catheter and IV are expected to be removed tomorrow, along with the restraints.

If you're talking about Russell, she went to the beach with the relatives she liked and none of the ones she didn't. She put a pic of Max on the beach on FB.

Unless there's another Rachelle? :huh:

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
