They missed one "type" we have in our Walmarts here:

The ladies in $200 jeans, $900 Jimmy choos, & $40,000 diamond rings who spend 5 minutes fighting with the cashier about expired 20 cents off coupons.

DH's godmother, a descendent of Empire Loyalists, is still living alone in the family manse here that was her grandfather's when he moved up here from New England in the early 1850's. She is turning 100 tomorrow, so we have come to celebrate with about 150 other people, many from the States and overseas. I think of what an arduous, long drive it is, but then I think MAN -- one doesn't have many chances to be part of a hundred year birthday party.

Cool! My Nana was an Empire Loyalist. She passed away in 1999 at 107.

Don't know what's going on here! Never used to remember my dreams and now it's like crazy town every night and I seem to remember everything! :unsure:

Night before last it was me locked in a car eating fruity pebbles with Robert Pattinson, and as Nik said, "You were locked in a car with RPatz feeding him Fruity Pebbles? What a waste of a dream!" :lol::lol: and last night, I was on some retreat at the beach with 2 coworkers and a bunch of people I didn't know. I knew I was married, but Jesse wasn't there and I was after this guy who was honestly the most attractive guy I've never seen. So vivid and I know it's not someone I've ever met. His name was Suneed and he was middle eastern of some sort. Nothing happened, but I was topless thru the entire dream.... Right before I woke up I was getting ready to go horseback riding with one of the coworkers-not sure that would be too comfortable without a bra... :ph34r:

:lol::lol::lol:

Interpretations.....

OK.....I'm a little rusty. I used to always interpret Soozle's dreams (miss her :( )Let's give it a try.

You're feeling more like a wife and a mommy and not the desirable sexy woman that you are. The fruity pebbles are a reminder that you have children......responsibilities. So nothing happens. In the second dream you are desperately trying to prove you still have something men want.....signified by going topless. I'll bet nobody noticed, which reinforces you doubting whether what you've got to offer is of any interest to anyone, anymore.

Now the horseback riding........whew! You need someone......preferably hubby.....to...uhh.......lets just say you want something strong and fast between your legs ;)

In other words......you and hubby have been so wrapped up in family life.....kids, work, obligations......you've lost that spark. You two need to get away from it all, get all sexified, check into a motel, and find that down and dirty passion you once had.

:P

:lol:

BTW.......where are you going next month? Brian and I are going to Florida next month. We'll be visiting my dad and trying out scuba diving. We haven't been since Brian's accident.

Loooove the video, Loweeeee!!!! :lol:

Emmm.......hope you find your Suneen!How many rooms are in that mansion anyhow? Perhaps you and hubby could try a few of them out ;)

Jyess, I kinda agree - I am a 'Pj's forever' sort of gal meselph...... not that I'm a snob or owt wink.gif...but it's the calibre of jim jam.

I'll take some covert pics eh??, see if it measures up to the peeps of Walmart (who incidently bought out our 'Asda' chain) *knowing nod of head*

Hmm... while I don't generally shop in PJ's (unless decidedly sick and easier to shop than coordinate delivery), I am frequently in running/biking clothes. Dressed, but not exactly presentable. I do my laundry in flannel pants often, though.

Efficiency, you know B) . Never mind the spectacle of running down the sidewalk with a head of celery in one hand, and carrots in the other. (# of items purchased is highly limited unless willing to walk home. Round or squishy things are easier to carry than square/rectangular things if you care to try it.)

I am exhausted and did nothing this weekend. May have something to to with spending two nights with BE (Hey! Nothing happened!!). He has this thing about wanting to actually touch me while I sleep which isn't really conducive to sleep. He's had a rough couple weeks at work so I did the supportive girl friend thing and let him snuggle. Also think I talked him into quitting. :)

We'll see how that goes.

They put a hand on you. And it gets heavier and heavier. Then it twists up your pjs or the fingers twitch.

Do not know how my J will get a girl to stay all night. He kicks and thrashs about. Even the dog won't sleep with him.

Lol! The dogs would only sleep with me until I fell asleep. My cat will though. Her approach is to place herself firmly over my legs in the hope that I'll stay put. That tends to not last very long...

1. large bed

2. separate blankets

Let me tell you, as an accused blanket stealer by (well, not many, but all) aka sound sleeper prone to nighttime restlessness, that separate blankets are KEY to peace and happiness. In preparation, it's always good to point out that there is a spare blanket on the bedside table on his/her side of the bed.

Although as his mother, I don't know that you'll hand over that tip or perhaps just smirk a little...?

Oh, dear gawd.. . .. . . . .or the dreaded LEG placed atop my lower body. Cannot STAND this... . .SO big, and heavy, and hot, and hairy.. . . . ..his bloody leg must weigh fifty pounds... .

Well, my DS could be worse.....I spent one night in the same queen-sized hotel bed with him over the weekend in St. John......Mygawd..... .. . . ..he is now this big, gangly fourteen year-old who not only kicks and splays, but TALKS. About birds and math and how his hair curls too much. . . ..... . and how the Russian economy will never recover without a huge surge in the national birth rate (honestly, he speaks about this in his sleep). .. . . :huh:

'Twas quite a night.

Annnnnnnnd... . . . . at about 3 am, I was suddenly flickering awake as I felt something on my face. Jack was holding onto my chin, rather tightly, with one hand.

Man. .. . .DH's massive leg on my body was starting to seem quite welcome.. .. . . .

One time Hub kept saying "The Canadians are coming!" in his sleep. Never sure what that meant. Do any of you Canadians know?

And true! Except I'm not sure how 'hot and heavy' we've ever been :ph34r: I just finished The Red Tent and I'm thinking Dinah's husband was really Suneen... I want Suneeeeeeeeeeen!! Just for 1 night perhaps.... :ph34r:<_<:rolleyes::lol:

BTW.......where are you going next month? Brian and I are going to Florida next month. We'll be visiting my dad and trying out scuba diving. We haven't been since Brian's accident.

Central WA, near the Grand Coulee dam. 8 days with 40 of my family coming from all over Canada!! Soooooo excited! Although I wasn't too well behaved last time.... :unsure:

Hub sent me on an 'emergency' mission for milk, eggs and bread for the kids bc there was 'nothing' for them to eat in the house on my way home from hot yoga. I cannae imagine what was going through the checker's mind, perhaps, "She looks like she took a shower with her clothes on, but she smells like she went diving in a cesspool..."

--the worst part... That damn husband fed them while I was at the store! I shoulda hugged him really close and wiped that cess all over him!!

I don't do the snuggling thing either! He likes to spoon and all I can hear is his loud breathing in my ear and his nose breath blowing my bangs around! GAH! The thought of it is bringing on a panic attack!!

Do not know how my J will get a girl to stay all night. He kicks and thrashs about. Even the dog won't sleep with him.

Last time we were at the beach, it was sooooo cold, I didn't want to take Max out of my bed to put him in his sleeping bag so I cuddled up next to him. I woke up to him rolling over onto my face where he ended up in the fetal position ON MY HEAD!!! :lol::lol: I had to wake Jesse up to peel him off of me!

The big boss called him, and two other engineers, all with the same PM, into his office and told them to quit worrying about their jobs. So now I'm thinking the PM's butt is on the line and that's why she's treating the guys under her like crap.

Cooper ( my dog) is in love. Not quite the right way to describe it. He always gets super excited to see small fluffy, light dogs. The neighbors behind us got a light, mostly white, Bischon/ Lasagna Apsa mix puppy. We have an iron fence behind so baby can get thru. Coop loves the 7 yr old girl, & her friendship with Cooper made the dad finally realize she needed a dog. No name yet. We are all working on her giving him a name her brothers won't be embarrassed by.

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you
