Wasp #4 has been eliminated. I knew it hadn't left, but i hadn't seen it for two days....

-sigh-

Yes, i'm sure its dead. Dish soap works wonderfully if they land in something that a shoe can't get into, then i put it down the garbage disposal.

Got 4-5 inches of snow here, has melted off the trees but def still on the ground

(and my car). Up until there was already two inches on the ground yesterday

afternoon, the weather people were saying 'little to no accumulation expected'.

Little to no accumulation my ass! I love it when the stupid people who park on the

street get plowed in though, that always amuses me. :D

Who in hell was messin' with me with that crutch tip? . .... . ..I'll never know....ever since that day I've been scouring the neighboUrhood for some poor, lame man struggling along with crutches -- struggling because ONE of the crutches has no gripping, protective tip....... . .

Something dawned on me recently -- could it have been something else? I think I know a crutch tip when I see and handle one..... ..but is there anything else that is kind of like a crutch tip, that would make more sense being in my ho'tub? :huh: Like... .. .. .a rubber hat for somebody with a funny, tiny head?.....a cork for a massive, strangely shaped champagne bottle?...

Yes, and those would make MUCH more sense being at the bottom of my ho'tub.... :rolleyes::lol:

Party at Geoss's :lol: Wouldjoo guys believe, a couple of years ago, I was experimenting with the vile weed to see if it could help me sleep - hoping for a substitution for sleep meds. A friend gave me - not kidding - a HUGE mason jar full :blink: It did not help me FALL asleep, but helped me sleep more deeply....but the thoughts were too CRAY CRAY.....couldn't handle it.....I recently threw it all out :ph34r: was stale and old anyway, don't anyone get too sad over it. B)

Perhaps half a Kong type dog chew toy? One of the kids broke something and distributed the pieces around so no one would notice? Something that fell out of a plane? A meteor from the far distant (and now extinct) Rubber planet? :ph34r: That give me an idea... alien rubber?

Actually, the rubber tip of a crutch very much resembles the rubber feet on

many metal fold-up chairs. Like the inudustrial-y kind? Can't believe we

never though of that before... :ph34r:

OMG. ... . .. ....THIS COULD BE IT....... . ....!! I never thought of it having fallen out of a plane!! That would explain its very arbitrariness, it's unexplainable, sudden appearance in the ho'tub.....it fell out of a plane, the moment the craft was right over my property. Of course. Some poor, lame passenger decided to push one of his crutches through his window...he broke through, but then suddenly realized his folly and tried to pull it back in, catching the rubber tip on the outside of the hole, and plock! Off it popped......dropping through the stratosphere, down, down, into my ho'tub.

Yep.

This tip was way too big for a chair or table leg.....even for a cane, methinks....

And it would be a lot easier to punch a hole in an airplane window with a crutch than with a fold-up chair....

:huh:

The only things I think of falling from a plane (besides wings of course, which I always used to keep my eye on in my early flying days :ph34r: ) are those blue froz en things that wouldn't last long in a ho' tub though, at least not in their frozen form, and wouldn't look much llike crutch tips when they melted :D:ph34r:

Hey Sports Fans!! . . . . ..hmmm not much enthusiasm ..

Hey fans of 9 yr olds doing uhhhMAZE-zing things! (Ahh there we go)

I'm watching espn now, but the clips were on my local news too.

9yo kid in Utah playing midget football (how unPC), definitely one of the smallest on the field, playing running back & being almost unstoppable, breaking tackles or scooting out of reach of the little boys giving chase. 35 touchdowns!

Her dad must be so proud.

actually laughed out loud. Such a feeling of comfort, to be analyzing the "crutch tip" again, over and over.....seems like it was a COLD

CASE when I was last here....case has been reopened.....but the idea of the folding chair out the plane window certainly does have some

merit and should not be overlooked......

:lol:

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
