BRAIN SCIENCE?? Dear gawd, this institute likely has an entire file on Psillyville, right from the earliest pages.... .. . . .."subjects for study and debate". . . .....

:lol:

Best of luck, Jyess.....looks like a sophisticated, cutting -edge place. YOU SHOULD BE THERE!

And Paul Allen looks like such a calm, gentle man . .. . .a lovely, brainy guy for whom to work. . . . . . ..

I need another shower <_<

How do people LIVE here????? HIH did they live here before air conditioning???? :blink:

Swear to gawd--it's like an oven out there :o Literally.

Um. . . . . . . ...... . .all right, let's leave the big Psillyville Psummit meeting location open for further debate, shall we? :unsure:

:rolleyes:

Part of the reason I grieved so hard when he died was that I didn't want to give up the 'new' & improved Daddy I had. So I find myself (uncharitably) jealous of those of you who've been able to live your whole lives with such special parents.

And about three months before he did go, he looked at me one day, tears in his eyes, adn said: "I finally found my daughter." *gulp* and I replied: "I finally found my daddy." We had dropped our lifelong weapons of defense, and in his prolonged illness, he softened so.

Don't think it's ever gonna happen.....just wanted to commiserate with you two. I really understand what you're saying and I'm so sorry.

Again, I am poignantly reminded (and it is vital, for me, that this happens regularly), of how very lucky I am. Every night now I count my blessings. :)

Geoss! very exciting!!!!!!!!!

"what should exist?" I'll tell you what in hell should exist, and I think about it every morning of my life whilst in shower. <_<

I'd like a leg-shaving razor that is about three inches wide. I mean, WHY IN HELL hasn't anybody invented this???? I'm to shave how many square inches of skin with a thing invented to shave a man's FACE??? :angry:

Really. We need a very wide razor. Three inches. Maybe four. Imagine how few swipes one would have to take. Please speak to that smart Paul Allen about this during yer interview, will you J? :lol: *snort*

(and no, this is not my brilliant business plan - that one's called Hire a Hag :lol: )

Monday afternoon.

totally counts now, and you passed. :)

:lol: am in full agreement. WE couldn't go anywhere near TexAss until late fall, I'm thinking, or dead of winter.

Count yer blessings, Em. Your dad is amazing. :)

PadTea - I'd forgotten about your mum. I soooooooo hope you can find your peace with her.....though she sounds difficult, and SOOOOO completely unlike you....

am boycotting the HS graduation tonight (erased the ranting about it from earlier post). They actually didn't even get me a ticket, we are pretty sure, so I don't have to go, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

This might sound a tad macabre, but I'm actually a bit jealous of you guys.

See, my dad was NOT an awesome guy. Not most of my life. He was angry, rather mean and abusive, and very difficult to live/work with. During the year he was sick, a great deal of that changed, and I got to have a year with my dad as my Daddy, as loving and kind and wonderful as I knew he always could be. I know exactly how evil his mother was (a woman with whom I will NOT associate), and how extroardinarily hard he worked to improve himself enough just to be the mean bastard I grew up with.

Part of the reason I grieved so hard when he died was that I didn't want to give up the 'new' & improved Daddy I had. So I find myself (uncharitably) jealous of those of you who've been able to live your whole lives with such special parents. I can only imagine how hard it must be to contemplate losing someone who's so deeply imbedded in everything in your life, who's so well loved. I sincerely hope he gets better.

And hey, so when did I become the traveling chef?!?!?! Who's gonna shell out for all that equipment, huh? Don't I get a vote in this?!?!?

I am really, truly sorry to hear this. I, too, can relate to all of the issues with parents you have all mentioned (I had many quotes, but messed up and lost them).

Bunnie, a big <<hug>>. I know you are/were a good daughter, because you are a good person.

Peter, big <<hug>> for you guys, too. It is so hard to watch a loved one's health fail. I cannot imagine what it would be like to with alzheimer's, or the pain of no longer being a part of that loved ones reality. It's as though a stranger has moved in to their body--you recognise the face, voice, but the person staring out at you is not the same.

Pat, big <<hug>> for you, too. I really identify most with what you said about your relationship with your mom. I soooooo get it :(

For the life of me I cannot fathom why otherwise intelligent people would put pineapple on a pizza, along with ham, and actually eat the thing.

Peter, I am all for bacon, black olives, etc,

but pineapple, ham, mushroom (and onion) is too DIE FOR. A truly mouthgasmic food experience.

Afternoon!!!!!!

Pineapple, ham and mushroom on me pizza please!!!!!!!!

See? What she said :)

Nikki, everyone--I was sent a virus through my facebook friends PM account this morning, along with every other one of her friends. If you recieve an Inbox message that is titled something like "Pprivate Pplease. Vvideo of yyou Ppublished" do NOT open it. Repeat--DO NOT OPEN IT!!!!!!

Okeydokey....I know I live in Texas...and it's the south....and it's hot.....BUT pseriously Sillies--this is the hottest day I've ever felt in me life! I ran to the store (drove, really) ... planned to get there and back asap. Well, I got back here, and first couldn't get into the parking garage, and then my keypad wouldn't work on the building door.

I had to park the car, traipse around the freakin building to the front door, groceries in hand, praying it would open....and luckily one of the property managers was there showing an apartment er sumphin.

I need another shower

How do people LIVE here????? HIH did they live here before air conditioning????

I feel better now

Swear to gawd--it's like an oven out there Literally.

I am sso nnot jjealous.

i have a second interview

Woo-hoo! That is excellent news :D

Best of kluck to you ;)

Yes, use us as references. In fact, e-mail some anecdotes and a facebook link. Invite him to join yer mafia :lol:

No seriously, I wish you the best. I sincerely hope you get it, and that it is what you've been looking for :D

I think what I really want is a lobotomy.......

Yes, that ASS HAT from my former life. The most ruinous man alive. The man I will never forgive and loathe the thought of. HE pops up as a "potential friend." HOW IN HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?????? his WIFE pops up also, all the time. Ass Hat and I have NO mutual friends.

Suze, you crazee wacko sil. No more wuvvin' from yer baby skittle? Job boring you to tears? As if that weren't bad enough....

former love semi-surfacing on the book, like some shadow stalker figure?

You two must have a mutual connection somewhere. Facebook automatically generates those potential friend sugesstions based on info you enter, like place of work, where you live or go to school.

Julie, as Jess said, relationships are often complex. You helped open a window into some of ours.

Patti, you really, really did say "really" as many times as I just did. B)

The parent/child relationship is the epitome of complex. We love each other so much it hurts. I really don't wan't to add my own sad tale--I hate telling people about it all (although if my folks had come stay with me for the four months like they wanted to, I would have been e-mailing you'se like every ten minutes.) But, I can honestly say I am a good mother, and that is what matters most to me.

You appear to have flummoxed us all.

ME first this mornin!!!!

I stayed home from work today, not something I normally do. Got my period this morning, and without being too graphic, I'll just say it occasionally has an unfortunate effect on my bowels. I wasn't in the mood for hobbling back and forth to the bathroom all morning. I wish Imodium would work on this particular issue.....

Doesn't happen every time, just 2 or 3 times a year, but when those days fall on workdays I's in trubbles.....

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      With all the bloodwork, have they checked your vitamin D?  What is it?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so vitamin deficiencies are common.  Doctors rarely mention this. B1 Gastrointestinal beriberi, a severe thiamine deficiency, is characterized by symptoms including anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea, and vomiting. Other potential symptoms like abdominal fullness, indigestion, and constipation can also occur. These gastrointestinal issues may resist standard treatments, signaling a need to consider thiamine deficiency.  It is commonly believed that thiamine deficiency is not an issue in the western cultures, so rarely address by doctors. Doses of thiamine above 100 mg several times a day will quickly show improvement.  Borderline deficiency will come and go depending on what your eat.  Carbs use it up faster, so for example if you eat a lot of carbs today, tomorrow you may have symptoms.  Thiamine (Benfothiamine is a synthetic fat soluable thiamine) is water soluable, we only store maybe a weeks worth, and there is no upper limit on how much you consume.  Excess is stored or peed away.   For them it isn't a oroblem.  LOL.  They just say some people are like that and see the next patient.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I used the cream for 4 days as prescribed 3 years ago. While I cannot be sure it triggered these problems, the timing is very suspicious. Yes, the oats are gluten free, and while I knew some celiacs have a problem with oats, I only just thought to eliminate them.  I just read about corn on this website, which I do eat plenty of. I do eat dairy, and would be so terrible sad to give it up, but..... Thank you for the diary suggestions. I'll start one today. Thanks for responding!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @sillyac58! Are you still using this topical medication for this precancerous spot on your lip? If not, are you saying you used it for a limited time and believe it triggered additional ongoing immune system reactions with unpleasant symptoms? I'm not clear on this. Are the oats you use certified gluten free? You may know this already, but even if they are certified gluten free, the oat protein avenin is similar enough to gluten to cause reactions in some celiacs. The development of other food intolerances is also common in the celiac community. Common offenders in addition to oats are dairy, eggs corn and soy. Dairy and oats are the most common, however. You might do well to keep a food diary and check for patterns.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I was diagnosed about 10 yrs ago with Celiac by presenting with dermatitis herpetiformis rash. I had no stomach or intestinal discomfort, but of course showed intestinal damage. The dermatitis herpetiformis eventually went away and I've been religiously gluten free ever since. About 3 years ago I was given a topical drug by a dermatologist for pre cancerous spot on my lip. The drug is called Imiquimod/Aldara, and works by stimulating your immune system. ? The package insert and many releable online sources warn to use caution using this drug if one has an auto immune disease, I hace since found out. One of the side effects is flu like symtoms, which I had at the 10 day mark as warned. But these symptoms have been recurring regularly ever since. Low grade nausea (no vomiting), extreme fatique (sleeping in daytime) and often a migraine headache on day one or two. The bouts last around 5 days or more, usually the nausea being the persistent symptom. My dermatologist, and another I went to for second opinion say this isn't a problem. I have been ill about a third of my life ever since. I have had extensive bloodwork, been to numerous specialists, but cannot figure out what is making me sick. I have become neurotic about gluten at home, using separate cutting boards, pans, sponges, dish towels, etc. I rarely eat out, and usually only because I am traveling. I have begun taking my own food to peoples homes for dinners etc. The only thing I haven't done, until now, is to eliminated oats, which I eat fairly regularly, and are known to sometimes be a trigger. And I have to say, in my defense, that it took me a very long time to suspect gluten because my only original symtom was rash/dermatitis herpetiformis. So I didn't associate the nausea/headache/fatique with gluten for a long time. Nor did any one of the many doctors I saw suspect it. I finally had a couple of dermatitis herpetiformis spots (and severe migraine) when traveling and probably eating cross contaminated food. I've never been on one of these sights but I am desperate. I'm praying it's as simple as eliminating oats. But I am angry that I was given this drug that I truly believe set this off to begin with. Anyone?

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

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else.  Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative.  If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune).  In any case it is important to address nutritional deficiencies like vitamin D.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to fortify.  The reason gluten foods are fortified is our western diet is deficient in them to the point where the government had to step in and require fortification.   Once you start GFD you'll realize it was the gluten you were afraid of all along, but nobody told you.
