Well, at least I do not have to put out the good china, or clean the house till sparkling... .. ...'tis a visitor who couldn't care less 'bout such things, mercifully.

Now, my MIL. . . . .......

Gad. Who would I rather have here for five days, if I were forced to choose??

Hi all. Like our Psuess....I read along here and there and don't have time (or energy, or somethin) to drop a line. Ferget it all when I come back....but I enjoy the chuckles and conversations when I do get to read some. Been working more, and it's about all I can do to keep going. But damm, I ain't gonna stop.....everready battery(ng ram) that I am :P

Stopped to get groceries after work the other day. As we were unloading the car I could hear the most pathetic wailing. I said to telehubby.....that's not a cat bird, someone is in trouble (holy shirt batman!) We went on a search and found that the stork had left us a new baby under the hosta leaves. Baby girl about 8 weeks old, we think. I fell in love at first sight.....a short-hair yellow tiger with white toes! Another trip to the store for baby items....food, litter and toys! I posted some pics on da Book. Have decided to not name her for a few days until we know that someone is not going to claim her and take her away. Telehubby said....I don't really want to have a cat in the bed with us........<:smirkface:>.....she sleeps pressed up to our heads.....(heh heh heh). Sometimes God answers unspoken prayers.

Work has been great...but grueling. Love the job, though, especially in the warm weather. Froggie Lou is still happily the big frog in the little pond...she's claimed the whole thing as her own. I think she's in love with my turtle spitter...as she sits near it and moons over it. Funny! Fisssssshes all seem to be thriving. No Lloyds, tho. We get bees, but they are all quite quiet and busy with the flowers.

Leeez...so glad things are looking better with you. Hope the Pyew-monya packs up and leaves in a huff! He's overstayed his visit with you! So glad the new leg has appeared. Hope it causes no problems what-so-evah!

Shiny days to you all. Be poopin in again sooon. Keep the Psilly-side up!!

Hey, Gang!

I'm contemplating an attempt at that orange cake recipe, with a huge substitution.... ..replacing the sugar with Splenda (bad, scary stuff, and heinously expensive, but I really couldn't be eating the cake otherwise). Dunno how this would fare.. . ... :unsure: ....sugar makes up such a big percentage of the recipe content, and Splenda is very different in texture. Maybe half sugar, half substitute?

Well, I'll try it once, and I'll know forever.

'Twill be an adventure! <_<B)

I really think you could use less sweetener overall, especially if you had sweet oranges to start with.

Aw, Rayechull...... . . . :(:( So sorry things are rough for you right now. I know how you feel - - this economic climate has us fretting daily. Three of us eating gluten-free and all my diabetes supplies add up to big, scary bills... .. . .

But it will get better! We will get busier! One lives in hope. . .. ..... :)

Goooooood Morning, Peeps!

I had a long, strange dream last night involving my MIL, Sally Struthers and some impoverished African children that they were taking under their wing. . . . . .... :huh:

I'm still piecing it together, fascinated and perplexed... .... . . .what in hell does THIS mean??

Got nowt else this am. ... .. ..methinks this is quite enough for one morning.

:huh::lol:

flourgirl Apprentice

OMG!! I haven't thought about Sally Struthers in ages! I wonder how she knows your MIL? :lol: And...do you mean to say that Sally and your MIL have wings? ( :huh: )

Not much going on today....yet. Still playing catch-up with emails and trying to work up the energy to work outside. I have inside work to do too......but I think I'll leave that for the rain that's coming our way. I know we need the rain....but I'm getting a bit annoyed with it all. Most of my plants are very happy with the amount of rain....others are crying about their soggy feet!

New baby is doing fine and dandy. She has settled in very quickly.....like any baby she likes having us nearby and cries is either of us goes outside. But I've noticed that when Hubby left this morning the crying didn't last long :P . I think it's a built in "guilt-inducing behavior" that all babies are born with! Amazingly enough, she sleeps most of the night (as far as I can tell).....stretched out around our heads. Must be the hair that makes her feel more at home :o:lol: ....Psuess...maybe I need to borrow your *Hair Suit*. No sign of fleas (on the cat), but did remove 2 ticks and been cleaning ears of mites. Trying to train her to a basket for her toys....but so far I am the only one who puts the toys in it (go figger).

I know, I know.....I didn't give you all enough time to prepare to get saturated with more baby stories! (want to see the pictures in my wallet....got a whole string of 'em...heh heh).

Hope everyone is feeling relatively well today....lots of pep and laughter!

Egads- I have been MIA. Lots going on......on antibiotic break (not much of a break as the symptoms don't go away :angry: POOPY COW!).

Got tested for Addison's on Monday (injected with drugs- nothing happened which is good. Some people get a little crazy :lol: :lol:

Been very depressed lately <_<:( Working on that. Working in the garden has helped but drugs needed toot sweet! Raychull- You hang in there too!

But good news about Brian's leg, Teerusa's wee new addition (want to kiss his wittle nose!) :wub: :wub:

Only 10 more days and I get to go away! Me dad and I rented a cott-age on the ze water.....Plum Island where I saw the swans at sunset! It's beautiful there and only 45 minutes from here so people can come visit. My sister is bringing the kids for a long weekend. Happy abou that- you are all invited!

Try agave nectar instead! Not bad or scary at all. Or Stevia. You can't find none, I mail it to you!

Jyess!! What in hell? This is so. . . . . . . . . ....... . . . . . . . . deep and . .. . . . . .... . . . . . existential and. .. . . . . . ..

Haiku-ish. .. ...! You are feeling like an unravelled piece of cloth? You need to grab an Agathie Christie book (missing mystery), perhaps some Windex (lack of shine), put up some new paintings (empty wall syndrome), get a new eyewear scrip (disappearing images).. .. . ....hell, you is feelin' downright weird, girl . . . ....

I use Stevia fairly regularly, but not much for baking. Perhaps I'll try it....but it is even more unlike sugar texture-wise. It is worth a try.

Stay tuned.... . . . .

Halloooo my lovely, dear, psillie friends :wub:

I have fallen into the regularly-scheduled (well, regularly-occurring, I should say) deep pit of grief, could wax existential and sad and appalled over it, but will just quote Geoss's BEAUTIFUL poem instead, and keep quiet, head underground :huh:

  mimommy said:
Sills, I had a tough day today. I am having to make my third heinously difficult and painfully grown up choice of the week. 2 were family related and verrrrry hard. The third is how to work, feed 3 people on the incredibly overpriced gluten-free diet, and still manage to be any kind of a mother. Taylor is the only one of us required to be gluten-free, but we do it too for her better health and to not cc her. The cost of living here is outrageous--I pay about $1200 a month for groceries, pet food, laundry detergent--all that stuff total. No kidding I barely make anything at UPS and can't pay a babysitter 3/4 of diddly squat. I don't trust anyone other than my aging mother-in-law to care for my daughter--I can guarantee a glutening if she is left with anyone else, Taylor is that sensitive. And let's face it folks, most well meaning friends and family have no idea what is required with caring for a person with celiac.

<<sigh>>

My job at UPS is really taking a downward turn--I nearly threw down with a nasty lowlife customer today.

<<sigh>>

:( sending so much love and prayers, Mimms. You are a scrapper and you WILL figure it out. Just hang tough.

It is NOT a one- for -one replacement, as I'm sure you're aware. I'm going to try it with honey, and add some flour, I'll let you know how it goes.... Maybe a bit of pectin, to make up for the sugar 'jelling' properties.

Hi'ya sillies B)

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices...

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our...

      My chest pain has been caused by costochondritis, as well as times when iron supplements has given me such bad bloating it has put pressure on my back and chest, and reflux can do the same. Also, along the lines of Wheatwacked's suggestion above, is it possible you had an injury to your chest/ribs way back that is being set off by either some sort of gastrointestinal bloating/discomfort? I distinctly remember really hurting a rib over forty years ago when I misjudged a wall and thought it was just behind me but in fact it wasn't.  I fell badly against the wall and I think I cracked a rib then.  For some strange reason I didn't tell anyone but I think had I gone to hospital an X-ray...

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health...
