(Sorry guys...Now, he'll act like a genuine tamponhead, with a stuck up attitude and a swelled ego)

I have had a couple drinks tonight.

Susie, I have been reading this thread for a while before posting, and now... at random times during the day, the word "Mojito" pops into my head. Why does this happen? I don't know, except that I love words, and oh my gosh I have brownies in the oven, hold on.

SARAH!!! utter and complete (slightly) inebriated goofball, with mojitos and brownies!!!! oh my gaaaaaawd, where do you live, I"m coming right over!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P And YES, tell your hubby that we talk about POOP and anything else we feel like talking about! (except for this thread, which, like a Seinfeld episode, is about NOTHING!)

*cough*....*splutter* ermmm.....not on your nelly Patti !!! :lol:

My kitchen is quite squalid :lol: ....needs the re-model.....but I'm just waiting on that lottery win ;)

:lol: she said squalid. A word I particularly love.

This weather is HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me my October. (need pumpkin emoticon)

oh my Looooord - - we have crystal clear and sunny here, and my friend and I, who watched movies last ngith and into today (she spent the night, avoiding the necessary drudgery of her squalid house - undergoing heinous remodel) were FURIOUS and sad that it wasn't raining and dreary and stormy and cold - that is what WE like best!! you can HAVE this stinkin' sunny weather!!!!! we are SICK of it!!!!!!! :lol:

oh Bev - so sorry about the ankle. Here's hoping you are drinking cosmos and jumping on the trampoline again QUITE SOON. :)

Carla - love the house!!!

Hi Julie!

and everybody else - - halloooooooooooooooo!!!

back out to make my second and last mojito of today. You know, I THOUGHT it was Last of the Mojitos a few weeks ago, but alas, there was still rum in the fridge and mint growing like crazy in back, so another bag of limes was purchased and voila, here you go.

Whoops! My "<ouch Bev>" was SUPPOSED to be shorthand sympathy for :rollankle: :rolleyes: :rollankle: :rolleyes: :rollankle: :rollankle: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

(my bad!) ;)

Oy it was SO hard to get yesterday's post done! I started it early afternoon and finally hit send w/ my head on the pillow. (Hmmm, to clarify, I DID actually hit send with a finger, WHILE my head was on the pillow)

OK now THIS next set of occurences may require some suspension of disbelief. (Or maybe only if a guy is reading it?)

1st John buys a 46" widescreen TV.

2nd Somehow, and this surprised the $&!*# outta me, plain old rabbit ears receive digital tv signals and we're getting a dozen HiDef channels free, over the air. :o:) :)

3rd A work buddy gives John 4 tickets to today's 49ers game!!!!!!!

I'm uncertain whether everyone will appreciate how special attending an NFL game is. I'm a HUGE football fan (Nikki - don't start w/ me! You know what I mean! :lol: ) and yet haven't BEEN to an NFL game since '89. It aint' baseball w/ their 81 home games. Each team has only 8. I'd bet that millions of NFL fans have NEVER attended a game.

So it's immense to suddenly be going to an NFL game AND there's more tickets coming!! Niners play in "Monster Park", nee Candlestick, and Monster Cable is one of the guys' biggest clients, as he's the main tv/audio buyer for Frys!!! (Only those w/ a Frys nearby will appreciate the significance of that - and uh oh . .. . .maybe no one? They're mostly in the west, but Indy has one. Donna!!! YOU know how huge Fry's is!! Tell 'em!! :lol: )

Anyway - time to chill the Redbridge for tailgating at the 'Stick!!!! (I'm tellin ya, this is HUUUUUUUUGE!! I got chills writing that!)

<if these great things keep happening I may need to hire someone to follow me around pinching me. My DREAMS aren't always this unbelievable!)

Have a wonderfully Silly Sunday everyone!!! :D:)

Sunday Silly-

A Hole Behind

A man, while playing on the front nine of a complicated golf course, became confused as to where he was on the course.

Looking around, he saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her, explained his confusion and asked her if she knew what hole he was playing.

She replied,

Ooo thanks Carla - It's BEAUTIFUL !!!! I LOVE IT !!!!!!

Thank you. :)

Tom, I hope you had a good time at the game. I've been to three NFL games ... in high school our marching band marched at both a Cleveland Browns and a Cincinnati Bengals game. Then a few years ago I went to a Colts game ... it was wasted on me though ... not much of a football fan here ...

:lol: Next time you're coming out to the other side of the country (North Carolina,) let me know and we'll have a party! I looove throwing parties. Next spring we're going to build a pond with a waterfall going down the hill in our back yard, and add onto our back deck. Normally this type of thing would probably be beyond our means, especially with me going back to school soon, but my dad excels in building and landscaping, and he will work for food as long as I help ;)

NFL games - yet ANOTHER thing they make you do in HELL....

Spent a bit of time catching up on my reading. Missed a couple of good posts that I would have liked to have jumped in on . . . may be too late . . . or maybe I'm just too tired right now.

Can't let this one go tho'

I had the pleasure of rubbing shoulders with Tom during lunch.....and quite a handsome Woodly Harrelson he was (is)!

Woodly? OK, Woodly it is!! So in addition to the accupuncturist, you've got Lisa giving you massages?

Actually, before realizing ankle was in such bad shape, i did make it to the Topsfield fair . . .

Bev, my best friend just moved to Boxford. She is the instigator (and timeshare owner) of the Hilton Head trip. Her husband took the kids to the Topsfield fair on Thursday. Small World.

Carla- Your house look SO COOL!!!!!!

Carla, just got in . . . missed it!

Welcome Alex and Sarah!

More tomorrow . . . time to check a couple of other threads and then time for ZZZZZZZZZZ's.

Will's little face in that bag=too darn cute! :D

You guys must be having a blast with him and all his antics.

elye Community Regular

Nikki, love your choice of name for your kitty...Will is my DH's name, as well. Means "strong protector". Dunno about my husband, but I bet that kitten could offer up some resolute protection! :) He looks adorable.

Tom, I won't agree entirely with the mass, who strongly dislike football. I have followed the NFL a little, but I must tell you, here in Canada we did do one thing right many years ago, and that was create a VERY exciting, entertaining world of football. It is a much, and I do mean much, faster, more enthralling game in the CFL than in the NFL. Three downs, a longer field (end zones), big, scrappy players that are making a third of what the NFL superstars are...the stadiums are electric! I've gone since I was a young kid, and we take our kids to games now. Have you ever watched a CFL game? If you get the chance, do!

Ahhhh....I'm always so far from all the action. :( Sarah, I wanna come to your party, too, but I'm just too far away from NC! Man, we Canadians are too far from everything...no fair.

-_- OK, now that I'm back, I will share some of my son's photos. I wanted to wait until we got back so none of them would be up for too long. Here is one that makes me think he was auditioning for the Blair Witch Project

Just saw your thread from August about riding- has your daughter gone yet? I LOVE horses and riding :wub: :wub: :wub:

I happened to sit with a "talker" on the plane yesterday. (You never know how those are going to turn out.) Fortunately for me, she had a lot of local horse knowledge. Knows the different barns . . . who is good for lessons for young kids . . . who is giving pony rides vs who is teaching them how to take care of a horse . . . stuff like that. So I got off the plane with a couple of phone numbers and an invitation to bring my daughter over to visit her farm (15 horses). I'll have to do a drive-by (my stalker instincts kicking in :ph34r: )

Football . . . yes, I do enjoy it . . . always root for the home team no matter where I live. I like to go to the game once in a while but don't feel the need to be a season ticket holder (I'm not made of money, you know!) I also don't care to watch any of the other games other than the home town team. I am a football widow, though. Might as well not even talk to my husband on Sundays - he can only grunt on those days. He's out with the guys every Monday night to watch the game at the bar. He was in a Fantasy Football league before most people had even heard of them. He gets spreadsheets and magazines and emailed notifications to help pick the best team each year. Research starts in June . . . It's a wonder that I will even watch the home team.

OK - emoticons . . .

:ph34r: stalker emoticon

:rolleyes: Umm, OK, sure, I meant to do that

<_< I knew that wouldn't work

:D I bleach my teeth

-_- shhhh, don't talk now, I'm listening to the voices in my head

Waynesville is about 3 1/2 hours southwest of us. I've never been to Waynesville, but I used to live in Boone, NC- north of there. Western NC is absolutely beautiful. Also, I saw the exterior pic of your house, and I just love it!

It is a beautiful area. She actually lives right next to Cold Mountain.

Football . . . yes, I do enjoy it . . .

I enjoy all that goes along with going to a football game ... the game itself is incidental ... I prefer college football.

:D I bleach my teeth

Or, Carla when she gets her braces off and whitens her teeth. :D

I cannot begin to tell you how much mouth pain I'm in. The ortho adjusted them and I got a new wire across my mouth. The wire was too long and it has made big sores in the back of both sides of my mouth. I filed it down on both sides, not easy to do, LOL. Now I have wax over it so the sores can heal. I can hardly eat ... in fact, I don't eat much. I also have six ruber bands pulling my teeth together, so I keep clenching my jaw because it's too difficult to open. Ouch.

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.
