'tis rumored here that we shall have 3, perhaps 4 days in a row without rain. As of yet, no one believes it.

Just an update for my dearest psillies.Clark got his lay off date two days ago. Unlike most of his department (who are done June 17th), Rob is being kept on until August. He has the choice to work until mid August or the end of August. He'll decide which as soon as he sees when his Master's program starts.

Tony is a happy camper because he can get the two weeks off this summer that he wanted to go back to NJ (Clark and I are only staying a week). He has two female friends that he bakes with and one of them goes to Brown with him. He likes her and feels it finally might be mutual. Poor baby is 0 for 9. He has been EXTREMELY helpful around the house and back to being my sweet boy.

Clark is taking medical leave starting Tuesday next week to take care of me. I might have a lot of illnesses and his getting laid off sucks but I still feel SO blessed to have the life I have and a big part of that is my all of you in my online family.

um, Lo... :unsure: P'raps you didn't read the contract before you signed up to be a psilly, but we don't allow excess illness here. You'll just have to spend the summer feeling great. I'm sorry that wasn't made more clear to you, but you did sign the contract....

Now who says I don't feel great (emotionally and in great spirits due to all of you and this thread)! Should I do my updates on illness on a different thread?

Love,

P.S. I plan on spending my summer recuperating on the beach or in my backyard. Clark bought me a cook chair that has a pillow and if you flip the pillow over there's a face hole so you can tan on both sides.

No sweetie, we care about you and appreciate you keeping us updated on how you're feeling. You are a psilly even when you aren't feeling that way. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Low, we absolutely need to hear psilly stuff AND pserious stuff, whatever is going on in one's life that needs to be shared with good friends. These incredible people have gotten me through the death of my dad, my dog and then my mom's stroke, quite literally - - I laid it all out on here, and mygawd, how they have helped me! :wub:

And I am KWEEN for another six pages, so WHOT I SAY GOES. B)

Oh, this sounds divine. . . . ....

I wonder if they have personalized prototypes for this chair. . . ....like, if you're buying one as a gift for someone who has an enormous nose, is there a huge hollowed-out nasal area? Or if your chin sticks out really far.. . . .....or you have a Cro-magnon brow ridge? Might be quite a market for this. . . . . . ...

They did have one with a cup holder on the arm but I like the other idea of a place below the phace.

And I don't plan on losing it. Just didn't know if I should take the serious stuff to a serious thread. I consider this thread as my home smile.gif . I do go to other threads to share and see if I can help but I always leave this one with a smile on my phace.

I'm using bed time to an advantage. I read or make earrings. When I feel good I paint in Clark's study. He really has been Superman and has been serving me meals in bed so I know I have a LOT of blessings and I count all of you psillies at the top!

OK, off to bed to finish a good trashy book.

P.S. Tony's grown up a lot this summer. He was able to get two weeks off this since it's far enough in advance to get coverage (there's a girl back home who also goes to Brown) and they bake cakes together. He likes her and thinks it's mutual. Perhaps it will be his 1 in 10 (poor Tony blink.gif). Anyway he's a happy, helpful camper this summer. He's going to be a dishwasher at Ninety-Nine (like TGIF) AND we get a 25% family discount there if we go to dinner with him. They have a gluten-free menu.

He just got back. He said it was mostly a " this is the job. Are you interested?". Said they will decide next week. Who knows? No mention of money. It's a " summer internship" so it's possible it doesn't pay. :o

Well, experience is pretty important. It may get him paying jobs later.

I'm thinking of sending him to Rachelle. She needs a manny. However, I fear that J & Max together might be a dangerous combination. :blink:

Indeed. . . . . . . ...:unsure:. . . . ....What words does J use to refer to his own, or anyone else's, testicles?

:lol:

I told him the whole story. I put it on FB. He said to tell Max that he really shouldn't need to refer to them very often. Also, he said that he feels that he likes to have a broad vocabulary. Therefore, balls, nuts & testicles are all used in his social & sporting world.

Tho hopefully not in his interview! :ph34r:

However NOT in the company of women, moms included. Men need their own language.

I have moved the chicks into the sun room. built a pen out of a modular wire bookshelf and put both of their boxes in there. Oddly, they still hang in cliques, the 5 older ones in one, and the 4 younger in t'other. Also got them bigger food and water sources so I don't have to feed and water every 12 hours.

My living room smells so much better. :)

      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 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.
