Hey Psillies

AAARGH!!!!! DH Clark is as bad as DS Tony (perhaps worse right now). Clark is SO in the doghouse! I assumed I didn't have to check HIS pants pockets -unlike Tony's (too bad Clark wasn't in his tights and cape) and there was chewing gum in the wash and dyer - not to mention two of my favorite black pair of pants and a turban are now covered with it. Goggling now for gluten-free ways to clean clothes, washer, and a dryer. Lucky for Clark I just lost my cell phone so we're running at an even scale.

I think my sunburn is finally healed so I'm going to buy the highest gluten-free block out there and we're going to sun in our backyard (hopefully sans the 7 kids next door). The beach would be too insane to try today. I have a friend coming Monday through Wednesday this coming week so we'll hit the beach early one morning.

Tony will also have to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY Monday AM (in case I didn't mention he is now bleeding rectally). He saw a doctor and had blood work done but I got him an appointment with the doctor he saw re:Lupus. Everyone else is on vacation this week. If he wasn't staying with a family where one occupation was RN we would have forced him to come home by now (if you can force a 19 year old, what do you think Queen Kareng?)

OK, Clark is back from recycling so it's time to do my errands with him and then sunbathe (even if it's just for 15 minutes).

Lots of love and hugs,

The PB in the washer might need some WD40 & a plastic knife. greasy though. Might need to run a wash after it with just a box of baking soda.

Have you tried the green aloe gel for a sunburn? It's made by Banana Boat and maybe some others. Very cheap at Walmart or Target.

Yes you can force a 19 year old. Cut off his funding. Take away his car, if he has one., etc. Guilt. Really, the bleeding sounds scary enough.

Y'all need to stop this contest for 'most dramatic story'. Time for a peaceful summer.

HP was fun. 3D on the big screen. Met BE afterwards for drinks and went to see a very mediocre Doors tribute band at the Hard Rock.

Woke this morning to a chicken chorus. One of the big girls was singing her egg song, and one of the little girls joined in in harmony. Then a couple more of the littles added some doo-wops and the little rooster threw in some rhythmic 'book's. :) Still haven't gotten my damn egg, but should be some time this morning after all that singing.

:lol: :lol: Chickens laying after they sing... . . ..Man, I wish this happened at church! You can bet I'd be attending a lot more often if the choir belted out their stuff, then lay eggs for everyone.. . . ...

Do you think a woman sings more just before she ovulates?

My BF from NJ (he's staying with them - both of our families are chosen family as opposed to the kind you're born with) is a nurse. She threatened him with tampons and Depends so he did see a doctor and has another appointment with the one he saw for Lupus up here on Monday. It seems like 99% of my doctors are off over the next two weeks. I plan on staying healthy and happy!

Clark has cleaned the washer and dryer of chewing gum and offered to make me his specialty (Spanish Frittata) for dinner. I know how I'll show him my thanks rolleyes.gif

Missed my son a little while he was away (although we were there for a few days) but I plan on making the most of our last night alone.

Off to play with Clark wink.gif

Did you check the pockets of those black pants? :P

Not too long ago I washed my cell phone with the laundry. :ph34r: Where are all those dissicants when you need them? It did finally dry out but not before I had already bought a new phone.

Hi Lisa!!

Soo tired today. Spent 4 hours pressure washing yesterday, after mowing the back yard. If it dries up today I'll mow the front, but regardless, gotta clean the little girls pen. Seuss, the little roo-roo, is still only crowing a few times in the morning. I hope he continues to just be a day greeter, and not an all day chatter.

This afternoon we go pick up the half a cow. Fun day.

My pants don't have pockets. I use phanny paks when I don't need a pocketbook. I also just lost my cell phone (not in the washer, though). Tony is back home and there is a new rule : EVERYONE CHECKS THIR POCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony seemed glad to be home. I think the blood thing scared him. Tomorrow we take him to the doctor in the morning. The way he described it wasn't as bad as I thought. He still needs to have it checked by someone up here. I'll have the NJ doc fax the test results.He was extremely warm and loving when he saw me. I'm enjoying all of the positive books I bought and am applying them to all my illnesses. The only time I plan on acting like a victim is "if" I have to go to court to fight this disability claim. I'll use all of my old thespian talents (after I blow off the considerable dust) skills then. Now I plan on living life to the fullest.

Missed you all!!!

Love,

Loey

Our 20% chance of rain has been continuous since 6:30 this morning. I haven't gone outside except to feed the feathered friends. I may have to do the pen tomorrow after work. :angry:

I have, however, waxed my eyebrows and given myself a mud mask. :P In an hour or so I'll be heading out to pick up Hop-a-along, the half heifer.

I need to give a bit of dramatous background here. So, my dad and I don't have a great relationship. Not sure there was ever a time where he was faithful to my mom and the nail in his coffin was when I was 12 and I was a nanny for my parent's BFFs. We did everything with them and their kids were my brother and sister's best friends as well. I sat for them 3 days a week, when MJ (wife) went to town to go to the 'gym'. At the end of the summer, my mom packed us all up and took us to my grandmother's house. She sat us down and told us that my dad (his name is Jim :lol::lol:-but not really :rolleyes:) and MJ were having an affair. Then it dawned on me that I was sitting for her kids while she was screwing him on his lunch break (this was confirmed...). Relationship-OVER!

Now a bit of history on the crazy girlfriend... Right before Thanksgiving 2009, my dad's bff (also named Jim), went up into the woods with a shotgun, texted my dad (we'll never know what he said, but I can certainly guess...) and blew a hole in his heart. Right after Christmas (1 month later!!), dead Jim's wife is calling my dad 'honey' and 'sweetie' and my grandma 'mom' And then I hear that they got married right after New Years in a fake ceremony that "is as real as it needs to be".... Whatever.... She's a raging alcoholic and is bat-sh!t crazy when she's drunk!

OK-

Sunday-Not as much drama... No one gets up before 11 except for a few of us women (and my kids). We clean up the mess from the night before and make breakfast for our men :rolleyes: My aunt goes to take a shower in the main bathroom facility and pulls a giant wad of hair out of the drain that was flooding the floor and tossed it towards the back of the shower (I did NOT ask how she went about that :PUKE:) At one point I pass the main office, where buck-toothed Betty and her leathered face hub are chain smoking for about 9 hours a day (EVERY DAY) and there's this young, handsome guy sitting with them... It's my uncle's 50th bday, so Jesse's supposed to get him into town for AN HOUR so we can set up for his surprise party. 3.5 hours later they show up and by that time everyone's starving and ticked off.... Soooooo they start drinking again-like 2 hours prior.... By 1030, I shunt everyone to the back of the campground which we were given to prevent our anticks (sp?) from pissing off the other campers, getting us kicked out. About 1130, I see that handsome guy again, with his backpack on, with a lasso attached... My cousin dubbed him 'The Blue Lake Killer" He and Jesse were in this in depth conversation, so I slipped off to go to bed.

Monday-we spend the day floating on the lake. I think I'm the only one who didn't get charred. Perhaps it was bc I put bottles of sunscreen and water in my floaty's cupholders instead of beer, beer and more beer like everyone else. My cousin actually floated out on a queen sized blowup camping mattress with a cooler on it, filled with beer. We had a potluck that night. "The Blue Lake Killer" who's actually a real cowboy from across the lake has come to join us for the evening. He's crushing on my gorgeous cousin who could care less, but I think her brother had a little bromance going with him as well. I shall now refer to him as 'Cowboy'. Cowboy still has his lasso with him.. :blink: ... and teaches everyone to "lasso a stump" Crazy still hasn't come out of her RV and my dad hasn't spoke 2 words to me. I went to bed EARLY and finally slept!!

--wad of hair...still there...

Tuesday-the morning is blustery and raining. The wind is howling, but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit inside that trailer until it blows over, so Max and I cuddle up under one of the awnings, wrap ourselves in beach towels and he plays on my phone while I read. Pretty soon, one of the cousins comes tearing out of her trailer looking for the gorgeous cousin, who's also a nurse. Apparently, in their crap-hole of a trailer, her 1 year old reached down, just under the bed, picked up a pill of unknown origin, and swallowed it before her mom could get to her. This pill did NOT belong to them, but was left by a previous camper. They ended up taking her to the ER where they force fed her charcoal and had to wait for it to pass :angry: I got a text from my mom (bc there's hardly any phone service, but there's free wi-fi :rolleyes: ) that says my grandma is in the hospital, she had an angiogram and that she's having emergency open heart on Thursday. I.Am.Devestated :(

--Can't remember anything else about that day, except the wad of hair is still there...

More in a bit...

Let me know if you're bored...

I think you win the family drama award. My IL's are a dream compared to your dad and his floosie! Sorry :(

Hi Dear Psillies,

So I think I told you Tony is staying an extra week in NJ. Thank God he's staying with close friends of ours and she's an RPN. Yesterday he was bleeding from his ear and today he has bloody stool. I called them (the family he's with) and he has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. He's pissed off at me - God forbid he has to cancel plans today - but that's what s(mother's) are for. I picked up that name from a hysterical book I just finished reading called Cancer Vixen. It's written by a cartoonist who's a survivor.

Anyway,I hope you are all doing phine.

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

So sorry abotu your (son?). I hope they will figure it all out soon. Does he have celiac? The bloody stool thing happens to me when I get a large amount of gluten cc, and back in the day when I was in college I bled out of my ears the mornings after I drank beer. I stopped drinking for the most part before I even turned 21 because I got so sick from just one drink.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
