No finals?

Put a chicken in your pocket.

I made the mistake of giving J one of my chocolate Ktoos ( gluten-free Oreos). " so much better then Oreos! ". Now I must hide them. :(

No finals. I have to write a six page paper on the hidden Markov chain method. But I'm way too tired to start that. ;)

Funny! I have a couple who peck at my fingernails when I pet them.

To give the bigger chicks a little more room I put a big box in front of their cage with the side down so they can go in and out. They spent the first hour "daring each other to go in. One would stand on the edge of the cage and another one would dive bomb her from the top of the shoe box, shoving her outside. Then they'd all scream bloody murder and go running into the back of the cage. The it would start all over with a different brave soul standing at the edge.

You little devil!

Its just been pouring rain all day! :(

J is finished with high school, we hope! Don't really know until you open the envelope they give him Sunday at Graduation. ;)

Of course J will graduate and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Clark & I had a horrible time adjusting to Tony's leaving (especially since he rarely got in touch at first). Things improved over the year and today he's bringing his stuff (and his crush whom we love) home to drop off his stuff then go back up to Brown to get Bethany's things (crush) to store here over the summer - she's from Chicago. Then they're helping friends move their things to storage, What he doesn't understand is a tank of gas is $75 here and we're not paying it for him. I can't believe he's completed his first year. We're going to have a quick lunch at a restaurant that's hiring so hopefully they'll see something in him. He doesn't have paid job experience.

Lub,

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Just how old do you have to be, to be an "advanced" senior resident?? Just want to know for when I get there :blink::ph34r: So I can understand my behavior with whatever amount of reasoning I have left :lol: Or maybe it depends on how many posts you have made (in which case Patteigh is over the top!)

You and me both. The getting life back part I understand; it's the agony I don't. Maybe it's the relief from agony??? :P But then they still seem to agonize, even when they's gone :o

P'raps parenthood draws those who enjoy the underlying feeling of unease and worry. :P

Many of them are well into their nineties... . . . ....so I'll say 90... ....my mom, at 83, is often the youngster in the crowd.

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

Here is a senior prank we here at C.com will appreciate.

J's class painted a toliet shiny gold. They installed it with a cement base in the courtyard by the senior lockers. The class speech yesterday had the words "poop" & "poopy" in it at least 6 times.

I saw a picture and it was truly a splendid throne. I am thinking gold toliets may become the style for Psillies everywhere.

All systems go at our house today :) Scaffolders here and have already got up to the point of peering in my bedroom :o and bathroom :blink: - gonna have to change some habits for the next week or so (no window coverings in bathroom), although they can't see the throne.:ph34r: Lead scaffolder is a BIG Maori fellow with braided dreadlocks tied in a high ponytail. He still has his jacket on so I can't check for tats, and I don't care about his thumbs - definitely not my type.

And tonight Rolf (he of the heavy Teutonic accent) arrives. Hub will have to wear his hearing aids or he will never understand him. Sounds like a very nice fellow, and he will be bedding down with us for the week while he saws apart and rebuilds our Tulikivi fireplace :D. I have stocked up on wurst and sauerkraut and am making German potato salad :lol: - have to keep him happy :)

All this courtesy of the Earthquake Commision for which we pay an additional $70 per year on our house insurance. They pay up to the first $100,000 damage (which we certainly don't have but many do). and up to $20,000 on contents. Bet they go bust on this quake which is estimated to cost $30 billion, but that includes all the infrastructure and the program doesn't cover commercial insurance.. Even Warren Buffet has been called in on his reinsurance :o

Glad things are getting fixed at last Shroom! .... although I have to say I HATE it when I have to have builders in the house.

I can never relax, dunno whether to let them get on... engage in conversation...or just to check their thumbs out regardless of type blink.gif

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
