Stymphony, I could like it. Bob's out-- bob is the (invisible) frisbee player who never seems to catch or return it. We think he has issues (shhhh....).

my garden was still overly damp to do more than sneak and handful of spinach and a few peas... sigh.

My gin and tonic is delish tho.

My son was trying to play frisbee at the senior picnic. He said he had never seen a more pathetic group of frisbee players. We didn't realize that Bob & his cousins - Rob, Robbie, Bobby & Bobbie were playing. That explains alot.

Do Bob & his cousins play other sports, too?

The only team/group/projectile-based* sport that Bob hasn't joined me has been croquet. Not sure why he doesn't like it...

*we avoid discussing ball sports, as it seems in induce snickers even in those who are old enough to simply twitch their eye brows appropriately at the pun.

I believe Bob has played a few times on my boys lacrosse teams.

J's summer job report:

He gets a desk & a computer in a room with others in "short" cubicles (you can see over the top if you are tallish).

He has learned that:

-When the boss leaves, a ball is tossed around the office

- Call in sick if the weather is nice

- If you use a germaphobe's computer, expect him to spend 15 minutes cleaning the keyboard, desk, area around the desk and then 10 minutes of handwashing

- 18 year olds hired to do thier jobs must be geninuses

Great.... :blink:

I used to work next to a germiphobe (sort of?) who worked from home some days. She quite thoroughly cleaned her desk area the day after she had worked from home. But she used hand sanitizer, not actual hand washing.

We call it "working from home" although, I will admit, there are some days when working from home also means working 12 hour days and not getting around to showering, as one was too busy working. Or working on official snow days... or holidays... or when one is actually sick.

Hmm... I could use a few genius underlings. But of the sort who are very focused... is that a cotnradiction in terms?

Yeah! right! He was watching re- runs of The Office and saying, " Yeah! That happens!". " this is just like my office"

Apparently, there are men in the office who can make an entire sentence out of cuss words. He finds this hysterical.

He is very focussed if the job deals with machinery or physics or sports or food. My other is extremely focussed if the job requires animal care, making fires, cooking over a fire, video games, canoeing, etc

I'm so happy for J. Tony is working a graveyard shift washing dishes. We didn't lean on him to get a job before last summer and we got here too late for him to find one Now he's facing the cruel reality of most first jobs..

BTW, he bought the three of us Bare Naked Ladies tickets as a combination of a mother's and father's day present.

Oh, that's phab, Low!! They put on a GREEEEEEAAAT show - - so much fun!

DD's part-time job at Wallyworld sounds not a whole lot better than washing dishes, but at least she has the constant flow of P.O.W's (People of Walmart) lined up at her cash to keep her visually entertained.

Many of them could climb up on a stage and be just as entertaining as The Bare Naked Ladies.... . . .

Hey . . . I did nae know your DD was working WallyWorld . . . is she the one that keeps taking the pictures and sending them out for the world to see? . . . Did the cross-dresser with the pink mohawk go through her line?

No Mohawk Guy yet... . . .. but remember, it is now thong season, and the Thong POWs are surfacing. I've told her to try to take pics while she's on break.

Actually, I'd like to know where the bulk of the POW pics that are circulated around in emails are taken. . . ...I don't think we have enough of the splendor here in Ottawa to be contributing to the mailouts, for Sophie says that there isn't much to photograph.

...Just individuals with eighty packages of Christie's Double Chunk Cookies stuffed into their carts. . ..... :blink:. . .... well, hey, they were on sale last week. .. . ... .

I believe that many of the POW pics are taken at the Walmarts in Branson & Osage beach, Mo. This is typical beach/ summer clothing styles for the Ozark vacation land.

Shrooomie,

Are you staying in ICV, NV again?

If Shroomie goes to the Walmart on the Calif side, the slippers are over dressing. Barefoot is the style.

No, we have decamped from ICV because my COPD could no longer handle the altitude - we now have a Wallyworld only a couple of miles away :rolleyes::rolleyes: but haven't unpacked my thongs or shorts, need my flip-flops because the sidewalks are too durned hot, but I need to get my tats touched up before I am ready for full POW exposure. Give me a chance to put the whole act together and I will try to grace the next POW collection.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
