Well, she's not naming it Bunnie.....

Maybe that is because you don't spend enough quality time here with us, Julie. Don't be a stranger. :wub:

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

:P I'm here--we are having a floor installed in my son's kitchen and laundry room. It was supposed to be done yesterday, and suffice it to say that everything that could possibly go wrong did.

The installer--whom we have known for 15 years and did mucho work for us when we lived here--decided to remove the hot water heater, which is the right way to do it. Hyjinks ensued when he turned the "shut-off" valve and it proceeded to spew water all over the place. (he missed the real one underneath the unit :rolleyes: ) It ended up phlooding the floor, got all over the walls, and even soaked the phone.

We had to put in an emergency call to the water dept, who came within 10 minutes and shut off the water to the house--and this is where Karrighn's snow pile comes in....they had to dig through about 2 feet of piled up snow to get to the valve. (once it was under control, they turned it back on) Since the water heater spent the night on the back porch, we had no hot water last night. The floor guys are here now, the plumber will be back around noon and hopefully it'll be done by this afternoon.

I did have a quiet break in the afternoon yesterday when I drove Matt to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. Got to sit in the waiting room and watch Animal Planet :D

Why do they do that? My house has 2 shut-offs to house - one 8 inches above the other. Plumbers have never been able to explain that.

Glad you are OK. You are usually on here all the time but when you weren't I started worrying. Then my mind started going in wild tangents. I hoped you decided to chuck all this snow & had just run off to Tahiti. But then.... I remembered you had been sick. There was a thing on the news about what happens to your FB if you die. One of J's football & lacrosse teammates dad died suddenly so we have had that on our minds. So I started to leap to horrible thoughts.

Hadn't thought of Remodelling Hell.

Holy crap. . . . .. . ....well, you haven't just phlipped over a big number.. . .. ....Patteigh, you need to ask your son if he is posting on any online forums, and if so, to check his post count. This Deluge Clause could be present in many other forums, for all we know.. . . ... .. :unsure:... . . . ..

Aw thanks :wub: Twas a rare thing, but I wasn't on the computer at all yesterday. Mark had to go back last night to get back to work (he took yesterday off), but I'm thinking I'll just stay till Saturday so he doesn't have to make the trip to come get me after work. I just hope the washer is hooked up tonight--I've been here since Friday night and don't wanna run out of clothes...

Mmmmmm--he does participate in a car oriented phorum. I'll bet he just phlipped over a whopper :lol:

Put them out on the front lawn as an art installation. A commentary on the weather and our society.

Was thinking maybe a name made with all our first initials but we don't have enough vowels.

My dd wanted to know what it was like to live in the 1900's :unsure:

I started to make a list of alternative names for the short bus, in case the Canadian group knows not what I mean, but as I was typing the list, I felt dirty and ashamed, so I erased them all :blink:

Well, I was new to the short bus (although sometimes feel I need to be on one :blink: - see below ) Had to google it - that's one bit of technology I have mastered to a fine art :P

Hahaha - welcome to the world of the technology challenged. :lol: That's what it's like for us all the time. Although I have scrambled out of the 1900's. Instead of saying "I wanna Iphone" I kept saying "I wanna Ipod" Of course, being of short bus calibre I didn't know what they even looked like, but said to hubs, if I'm going to put in the miles on the damned treadmill, I gotta have me some decent music, and sent him to not only buy me one but to put the music on it too :lol: Now I toddle along to my heart's content listenin' to the happy beat with my happy feet. Couldn't believe how tiny those things are, but my humungous head has such little ears stuck on it that the speaker buds are almost too big to stay in :unsure:

You need the ones like ear plugs that you squeeze, put in ears then they expand so they stay in better. Or just the old school headphones like earmuffs ;)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

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

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 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!!!
