Hiya, Joooooles! :) Been wondering about you....... . .. I do this especially when I don't see you here OR on Da Book. . . . .

Why doesn't someone market one of those compushades for our heads? It would just fit right over, keep the damaging rays off, no need fer sunglasses, could manage bad hair days much more easily. . . . . . . . ...

:huh:

:lol:

My dad has really rallied, and may be out of the hospital today........he's scheduled for MAJOR surgery on April 29 -- through his back to get a large cluster of kidney stones. That should take care of all the UTIs that keep landing him in emergency.

That is all good, Em!!! :D Such great news--dad will be there wif ya'll fer Easter and then they'll get rif of those pesky stones fer good!

Morning Everyone-

An emotional evening lastnight.

Yeah Amanda--I can see why you're worried....it's only natural, considering the circumstances, but it sounds like John is is very good hands. Like Judith said, we'll be there fer ya :)

Ooohhhh...think of the possibilities.....ho' tubs, saunas, gardens. We shall call it Padt"s palace!!!!!!

:lol: Prepared to be a bit underwhelmed :lol: Loved the notion of me sillies coming down to help us build it! :rolleyes: The tools stuck to our arses should save a lot of time :P Em will bring Jack and we'll see if having them stuck to his 'ead is any quicker ;)

I've decided that I love surgeries. They seem to make everything so much better. :blink:

I know exactly what you mean--fortunately that's how it was fer me too :rolleyes:

I can't believe Easter is this weekend.....did we not just have Christmas/New Years?

I swear to gawd--THIS Sunday??? I had no idea it was Easter already until now :o How is that possible :huh:

WIH would I do wifout youse guys? :lol:

Julie--I've sensed you were low on sillie, and didn't want to intrude, but you've been on me mind :wub: I hope you're feeling better soon--at least read along so we can hopefully give you a lil' chuckle ;)

I was watching tv, and piled with cats, so to entertain myself I used the channel thing and just went up one channel at a time. Did you know there are WHOLE CHANNELS that do nothing but sell things!?!?!? :o

And there's a channel that tells you what things are on the other channels! (I use the menu button to see the other channel line ups.)

And I'm bored with tv and going for a walk. Sun's gone, so don't need my magnetic hood...

Yes!You can apparently exercise yer democratic right and vote individuals off the screen, you can play games, get told what not to wear, be told what and how to cook. . . .... . ....

And most importantly, you can be advised on a course of action when your sister's husband has fathered three children with your mother. . . . . . ...

Hey everyone, check it out--I finally figured out how to upload an avatar. My man had to help me :o Brains, braun, and new laundry room cabinets, too ;) I'm not an idjut, but geez, too many pixels or something.

That's my dog Max, when he was just a wee pup. Looks like he got glutened, huh? He's now about about 1 1/2 years old, weighs in at about 80 lbs. He's convinced he's a lap dog, and likes to have his hand held. Max enjoys long walks and quiet romantic evenings at home :rolleyes: He steals kitty food and even sneaks a bite from the litter box now and then :blink:

I can't believe that sometimes half a day can go by and there's NO POSTS???????????

I'm too busy in the glamorous world of international shipping to even think about it; that and too busy babysitting my senile boss. Any Seinfeld fans out there? "Yes, he's an importer/exporter, but lately he's been focusing more on the importing, than the exporting" He emigrated to the states in 1962 from India. A sweet, kind, once brilliant man, who is now slowly losing his marbles. Last week he told me he forgot what it was he was going to tell me he forgot--it sounded like 'Silly Tilly and the Easter Bunny'. More tales from the trenches, later.

Big meeting todya with the Forest Service.

You really work for the forest service?? How cool is that! Your job sounds like the kind of job I would have loved when I was younger. I worked for the local metroparks for a few years before my daughter was born--I loved it.

This might sound completely lame, but I finally got the guts to put a photo in my profile. I went poking around in some other members profiles (Ha! I know what you look like now.) and checking out blogs and such. I wanted to see who was doing what, who I was talking to--and might I say, what a handsome lot you are. I guess I had a momentary lapse of my usual cynicism and inane/insane distrust of strangers, cuz I just went for it. Browsed my photos, hit open, and there I am. In all seriousness, I've been bothered by a weirdo or two in my life, so please, if any psychos are lurking--leave me be. I attract freaks like, well, like a butt magnet attracts coins. The pic. I chose was taken at Soaring Eagle casino on our wedding anniversary a couple of years ago, at a Brad Paisley concert. Unfortunately, after the pixel downsize it looks like my lipstick is smearded all over my face. Oh well. They let me go out in public sometimes, but they don't always check my look for me.

mimommy--How beautiphul you are!! B) So nice to get to see you.

BTW--whenever I see your username, I always want to call you "mini-mommy" :lol:

I say everything in my head as I read, and I briefly stop at your name every time I come across it. Me-MAW-mee........me-maw-MEE. . . ....MEE-ma-mee.. . . . . ....

At times it can sound rather sacred, like an ancient aboriginal spirit. ... .. .. :lol:

Can you believe I have another funeral to go to this weekend?? :huh::unsure:

The third in three weeks . . .. . ......stay tuned for more stoned clergymen. .....

mimommy Contributor
Hehe mimm :)

I like this. You can call me "Mimmsy", and we can meet up with Biff at the club for some Polo :P

WHAAAAT?!?! ...... are yer normally trapped in yer room by the bookcase????

This doesn't sound all that bad, as long as the books are facing inward and there is plenty of ice cream.

My bum does nae attract coins.....just a thicker/more dense fat coverage <_<

Me too :(

I was watching tv, and piled with cats

Doesn't everybody watch tv this way, piled with cats I mean?

whenever I see your username, I always want to call you "mini-mommy" :lol:

Well, you're not too far off the mark--I'm barely 5 feet tall. A person of short stature, as they say.

Me-MAW-mee........me-maw-MEE. . . ....MEE-ma-mee.. . . . . ....

Careful...if you say it three times quickly, I appear.

Love this sentence!! :lol:

Sorry for your loss(es). I will selfishly be awaitin the anecdotes, though ;)

"Mimommy" is meant to be like 'my-mommy', as in, my daughter's mommy. Just call me Rachel. Or whatever you like :)

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
