I wish I could understand what it is with boys and their toys!!! Grow up already

:rolleyes:

The WIFE is worse. Her truck is louder, her mouth bigger, her gut and arse fatter and her language saltier.

When they moved in, she told me "we ain't having kids", so no worries about " them runnin around "...(good to know they aren't passing on those genes, I guess?) meanwhile, they have tons of "kids" here are the time, only they are in the 20s and 30's, "seasonally employed" or on workmen's comp and drinking beer all day.

How do they afford those toys, I wonder.....

anyhoo. 'nuff about those varmints!!....it's quiet right now and we'll take it!! :)

And perhaps this is the key to getting rid of them? Perhaps they are doing a bit of farming?

Thought of that ---but he claims he found plants on the land adjacent to ours and pulled them all out. I dunno. he's WIRED like a madman. Very hot tempered and eyes buggin out.

Oh well, we're getting too old for all this work. Florida looks good.... B)

HEY NOW! :o

We don't want those miscreants around here! It is quite tranquil around here, thank you very much <_<

If they're selling/using drugs, it's something they're cooking, not growing. I never met anyone who got 'cranked up' on weed. I mean really.....

No, sorry I was not clear. What I meant was...he is very vocal AGAINST the use of drugs. Claims he found some major pot plants in the acreage next to ours and "we can't have that kind of thing around here" blah blah bluster bluster

I never met anyone who was cranked up on weed either. :lol:

And I do not think he's got a meth lab going over there.

We've got the only one on the road.

(just kidding--to see if anyone really reads closely what I write)

I know he is not using anything.

He's like a "militia" type, lotsa guns, paranoid, racist and VERY high strung.

Maybe he has a gluten problem.... :lol:

Sounds like some weed is in order!

Thaat's kinda wierd, though... The New England paranoid militia types tend to be very reserved and withdrawn... definitely not the ATV type. Maybe that's because they're surrounded by liberals up here.... :D

he reminds me of someone who has taken waaaaay too many hits of speed, drank 6 cups of coffee, some red bull and ate 8 donuts.

Verrrry chatty, loud talker, veins pop out in his forehead, eyes bug out.

Em, eeyup....I found the "outfit" a little disturbing myself (as I do not think dogs like to wear humiliating clothing :rolleyes: )

but maybe she likes it and it makes her happy (recall my Mom's expression?) :lol: She looks pretty happy. My dog would have ripped that thing off with her teeth in about 5 seconds. :lol:

Hats, scarves, that sort of thing? uh uh...Gracie did not find those amusing.

You know, I was at a wedding on Saturday and the groom's dog (who is ADDICTED to fetch the way humans are addicted to meth) was following people around on the dance floor the whole time with a dirty stick trying to get someone to play fetch. I have to say I prefer this!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I bet this guy started this when HIS dog wouldn't get off the dance floor!! Doggie's obviously having a blast! How fun!

Amazing animal. Almost seems like the dog memorized that whole dance sequence. Deffo going to share this one.

YES! Her skirt blowin' up, and all.. . . .... :lol:

Quite true, that bright retriever looks SO happy -- someone giving her a challenging mental job to do.. . . ...and her tail never stops wagging.

Perhaps she was, in fact, consulted on the outfit. But I dunno -- goldies are very intelligent.....can't imagine she would ever have okayed a tacky little frock like that....

I said this to hubs and mentioned how he also has paranoia, insomnia, and anxiety...but hubs said "um, take it easy, you see celiacs everywhere"....I said "Because they ARE everywhere."

it's true, I do...like that little boy in the movies who sees dead people? :ph34r:

Nope, that would have been her border collie BFF.....

I have a friend whose spouse thinks diarrhea is "normal", who has peripheral neuropathy, who has had a couple of seizures, who has GERD, who is low on B12, who is skinny as a rail and who thinks I am really weird because I don't eat gluten. :huh:

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
