On the housing front- John and I just learned we qualified for the 1st time home owners tax credit of 8,000. We are allowed to claim it on our 2008 taxes as well. We have decided to pay off our one big credit card with it. They hiked my interest to 32%...I have never even been late.....I am so upset with them! I think something needs to be done with the credit card companies...

so happy to know someone who will benifit from these new laws.

good for you!

wow up 32% for paying on time......??? :ph34r:

Patti - is Mark home??...I know you said he was due to land??

Yep! He got in on time and all's well :D Thanks all for asking :wub:

Oh, Psills.....not a good evening last night........

Sorry Em :( From what me doc told me, in general of course, this type is pretty slow-growing. We discussed the subject at some length, since he retained mine during my surgery. I hope her's can be taken care of swiftly with no lasting effects.

Amanda--My son is in the process of buying his first house and that tax credit is a great thing! At phirst, it was proposed that it would pertain to anyone buying a house this year--which would have included us, too. Oh well.....

I meant Matt will get it since he's a first time home buyer. When Mark and I buy a home in Houston, it won't be our first, so we don't qualify for the tax break. :angry::D

Em, please ask Jack this . . . Have you ever wondered why we say 'Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty' but not Here Doggy, Doggy, Doggy'? . . . annnnnnnnd . . . Why do most cats respond when that's not their name??

Mygawd.....Jack will love this, and ponder it and google it and bring it up in circle time at school. . ... :lol:

My cats only come if we do the "Here, kitty-kitty-kitty" thang with their names....

"Here, Tess-Tess-Tess-Tess-Tess".... . ..

I think we don't do the doggy thing because "Here, Doggy-doggy-doggy-doggy" is just too frickin' difficult to say. . . . .... :huh::rolleyes:

We all luuuuv li'l P....so de-bone-air in tophat and collar!

:lol::lol: OMG.....I read this word as "TOE-FAT..... . . thinking, lord, he's got phat li'l toes? :huh:

I like the Goo/Good oops . . . I'm keepin' it!!!

:lol::lol: Me, too! Sounds vaguely Asian.....terrific name for a Chinese restaurant......""Hey, let's head over to Goo Luck for some o' their great won ton soup!"

As I was walking a million miles to the bathroom just now since there has been a new flood since I wrote the first time--who is high on their post count that could have caused this Phluid Phrenzy! To take down a portion of a hospital is pretty high ya think?

I was wondering exactly this, too, Amanda . .. . .....

Methinks Patti is quietly working there, in some capacity. .. ....she's the only one with a high enough post count that would cause damage like that with a flipover. What's Paghteigh's count??

Great news on the credit, Amanda! :)

should have figured that one out........dugh :unsure:B)

Joooodie crackin' me up . . . .. ...DUGH .. . .... :lol::lol:

YAY! Manda's got credit! Mark's home! Jack gets a new ponderable!

Sorry about your friend, Em. I know there's a lot of stress involved, but please assure her that once she gets those womanly bits removed, she'll be delighted with the effects. :P

Amanda....you need to email your credit card company pronto! My card....which I've used since the early 80's suddenly cranked up my rate. I pay on time (I always pay the balance and avoid interest) and I have Eggcelent credit. I wrote and told them the rate was unacceptable, and if they chose not to re-instate my last rate I could easily find a company who would!!! I got an email back in record time and a letter to back it up. Rate back where it was and an apology! You can't let these businesses get away with robbery.....there's too much competition out there. If they think you'll just roll over and take...they'll do it to you. ;)

Great news on the 1st time buyers break!! Pretty kool.

Pah-tay....sounds like your having a blast up there! Good luck with all of that. Your son must be pretty excited......1st home!!! :D

Niknik is droooolin'. Does your dentist ask you questions while his fingers are in your mouth? I figure they don't really want to know the answers.....they're just making noise to pass the time :lol:

I have never used.....Here Kitty, kitty, kitty. Have never had a cat that would respond to that. They'd look at me like...."I DO have a name, you know!" :huh:

Hello my lovely psillies! It's been almost a week! I had a major computer crash and Kurt just got it up last night! I was not only a phorum-less abyss but an internet-less ayss! EEK!

If I have missed anything good or bad, I apologize....hope everyone is well!

New York was phunny because me sis was a completely spazmoid the entire time! We drove down (I usually take the train but we decided to drive this time), got lost, and my sister almost peed her pants while driving in the Bronx. We got there, had no gas so they wouldn't valet our car so the concierge got in the car with my sister to take her to the nearest gas station about 30 blocks north.

She's sitting at a red light when "Knock, knock it's NYPD". $120 for not wearing a seatbelt. OOPS!

Then she had to wear sunglasses until 10 pm because she thought she forgot her glasses (and her cellphone and her Blackberry and her contacts :blink::lol: ). I have a picture of her on my phone eating chocolate mousse in a very dark restaurant looking like Corey hart :lol:

She wanted to go to Macy's to shop but had to ask me if colors were normal on everything :rolleyes::lol:

Then, we left Macy's, she puts her hand in her pocket and VOLIA! There are her glasses in her pocket :lol: :lol:

We went to the butterfly conservatory at the Museum of Natural History. Twas lovely. My sis came to my appointment with me and has decided to get tested. My doc examined her (she was really curious if she had been exposed) and it looks like she has. :( Long story, but she is actualyy relieved to know it MIGHT be that rather than some of the other things she's been told she'd just have t live with.

We had a blast- wanted to stay another night! But am glad to be home with hubby, Angie and in me own bed (often-YAWN!)

Hey all! Bev-really....so glad you had a good time!!! Not a Goo time but almost as good! And no....Pictures of Kurts upwardly mobile activities is more info. than I want...although I had to admit my first thought was the same as *others* :lol::lol:

Hiya Judester! So glad to see you poopin in more. The place is not the same without you. ;)

Been lovin the warmer weather....evenif it was rainy/windy today. Back to ````cold````brrrrrr tomorrow! Iyam SO desperate for greenandgrowing things! We do have daffodils and tulips coming up though. The deer will leave the daffs alone....but I'm willing to bet they'll find the candy tulips!

Been having lots of really strange dreams lately...and some kool ones. Dreamed of making copper arbors with huge dream catchers in the sides.....and dreamed of carving woodsy figures for the yard. I could be inspired to try both of them. Need to sketch out what I saw pretty soon or I'll forget that I even wanted to do this :rolleyes:

Karry on the psillie......

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
