Nikerler! Is that not a stone? I loves to have my weight quoted in stones. . . .....it's only, like, 9 1/2, er sumphin'.....sounds SOOOOOO slim . . . . ..... :lol:

YESSS!!!!!!

I need to lose A STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (14 pounds) and be 9 st again :rolleyes:

I love that the mere wordage of 'stone' cracks you guys up :lol:

:unsure: um........wait.....whot? Are Tel's tubes tied? or yours? Oh wait.........men get snipped, not tied, right? :lol: so yours are tied? and.....you're whining? does this mean you want MORE CHILDREN?????????????? :o:lol:

My tubes are tied in a double knot.....then seared with a hot poker, then a couple o' clamps (just to be sure ;) )

:lol: x 20 at the VERY thought that Tel could EVER be brave enough to have his tubes tied!!! (wimped OUT)

Sooze shampooing????

Imagine (if you can :unsure: ) - Sooze has a small win on the lottery (not enough for a Psillie summit though <_< )....but enough for a new wooden floor.

Where will her lone Dingo thoughts go with no carpet to shampoo???? :blink:

Hi, Amanda! {HUGS}

My tubes are tied in a double knot.....then seared with a hot poker, then a couple o' clamps (just to be sure ;) )

Yeah....OK.............but did they check for an extra set????? <_<

I had a relative who had her tubes tied and still got pregnant. Turns out, she had an extra set! :o

Had me dr.'s appointment yesterday. He says he can still hear some 'crackling' in me left lung, so I had to get a chest x-ray. I have to call him Monday to get the results.I am doing better, though, just not 100%.

Brian and I are goin DANCIN on Sunday!!!!! We've practiced a little.......I think he can do it!! :D

Good morning everyone:) <<sleepyface>>

I saw Theresa's name down there--raising my coffee cup in salute :)

Hi Sillies-

I know I have been away for awhile and I had told ya all I was coming back well things at work have gotten more chaotic than usual. We are getting ready to move to our new cancer institute building at the beginning of July. So on top of the already high case load we all have- I currently have almost 70 patients on active tx and then another 180 just hanging out so my work days are full and lately I have been putting in extra hours or taking work home.

John and I are doing well- John just turned 32 and told me he was old....crazy! He went back to work about a week ago after having that time off from surgery.

So thats the good news.....

Now the news that has me having a hard time finding my silly. I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago. We didnt tell anyone just in case....well turns out that was a good thing. I suffered an early loss over the weekend. I know it wasn't like I was very far along but still- we had both been so happy. I am trying to see the positive of this since my gyn told me that an early loss happens when the pregnancy can be defective and your body is flushing it out. SO I am looking forward to the coming weeks and hoping we get there again. I was told my body is ready and we have a better chance of getting pregnant now so here's to that.

I have had the pleasure of getting the betty crocker mixes not only are they awesome but the price is good. I am impressed!

So I will try not to be such a stranger these days...I am slowly trying to find my way back...

Oh amanda, I'm so sorry honey. That was sad, and scary, and discouraging for both of you. <<<<HUGS>>>>

Sweetie, do come pop around here more often for hugs and laughs, OK?

we'll never tell how we knew

BUT OMG!!!!!! I wanna come to this cottage!!! Be there tomorrow, around 6 B) this sounds absolutely PERFECT, Mimms!!!!!!! have a great time!

Twas Nikki, NON?! Thanks, Nik :rolleyes::lol:

Thank you all for the kind b-day wishes!!!! :wub: you all.

HAPPY BIRFDAY, RAYCHULL!!!!!

Whew!....I almost missed it!

Edit:.....ummmmm....mebe I did........was it yesterday?........oops!

Have fun dancing! Really hope your lungs feel better soon.

Thanks for the b-day wishes :)

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and happy wishes :wub:

Turning 41 isn't very exciting. Kind of like having a regular period after a couple are irregular--you're expecting it, you're happy it came but not so glad it's there <_<

Going up north for the weekend.

The cottage is small and sweet. It has the modern conveniences, needs a little work. It bleongs to my in-laws. We go several times a year. It is pretty "cosy" and the area is way too populated for someone looking for peace and quiet or to "Get back to nature". Houghton Lake/Prudenville has a Wal-mart, a Big-Boy (is that only a Michigan thing?), and a JC Penney. But, the lake is pretty, and we always have a nice time B)

See you guys!!

Love--R

Have a super weekend in the woods, Rayechull!

The Ripper is in the woods as we speak - - he's at The 116th Cub Scout Troupe Campout in Athens, Ontario (1.5 hours into cottage country......a lake, trails, a bog, mosquitos, y'know. . ...typical June camping stuff). Wretchedly unhappy that I did not manage to volunteer myself along on this trip with fifteen 11 and 12-year old boys. HA! .. . . Needed to enlarge that "ha", to fully communicate the strength of sarcasm dripping from it. . ....

Did I tell you all that my DD got herself a summer job at the new McDonald's that has opened about a five-minute bike ride from here?

She is SO proud of herself, and when I dropped in for her first shift on Wednesday, I watched her behind the cash as I hid at the back of her lineup. There she was, decked out in her official uniform, li'l nametag, funny cap on her head with her hair pulled through the back, punching things through the cash, racing to get the combos, making sundaes, smiling broadly at each customer she faced, showing off her fantastic new upper retainer.... . . ...

This is one of the new McDonalds that will be eventually replacing all the others in time. I was agog when I walked in: big screen TVS everywhere, circular marble tables, cozy booths along the sides, a big fireplace . .. ....... :huh:

:huh::huh:

What in hell is going on here?

Think I wanna job there.

I had a relative who had her tubes tied and still got pregnant. Turns out, she had an extra set! :o

Mygawd.....do NOT want an extra set of tubes. Extra boobs, maybe - - nice ones that would sit up top, ones that I could show off. . . ..... <_<:rolleyes:

Glad to hear you are almost through this heinosity, Leeesar. .. ....

And you guys are going dancing!!! :) PHAB NEWS!! Brian will be whipping around on his new leg. . . ..can he quickly unstrap it and swing it in the air for dramatic line and effect? Tip his hat off with it and balance it on the toe? The possibilities!. . .

:huh::lol:

POeter! Were you at that huge doggie event in T.O. today?

Hi All

Sorry I've been away so long. :o

I just read this page and haven't read any pages before for soooooooooooooooooo long.

I was so down but seem to be better as a new med seems to be working.

Seeing a Dr. who knows his meds.

I'm so sensitive my internist was leery to try anything else new.

I've finally stopped 'spinning' and can focus on living and actually can get things accomplished

Porch is finally finished but the contractors still haven't been back to finish in 3 weeks. The counters are in however. Getting closets all cleaned out. Just taking a task a day and having the 'panic' feelings i did before.

I was even able to gather my mind and inner strength and fly to Ohio for my 50th HS reunion.

It was so nice to see all my old friends. I graduated in a class of 123 and 25 of us are in a 12 years club as we went from 1-12 th grade all together.

It was a small very close class.

Funny, the men seem to age so much more than the women..................IMO ;)

It was worth the trip even tho coming home...........i went to the airport and waited through 5 plane cancellations..........finally i had to take a cab and go back to my brothers for an extra nite.

I so enjoyed staying with my brother and his wife.

Got to see my 93 year old uncle at his farm in the hocking hills. I seem to find my inner core when I go to his log cabin where there are so many family memories.

Then got to see my cousin who who near death on Good Friday but got a liver transplant and we saw her in rehab. She on the faculty at OSU hospital. All the Dr's were pulling for her so i'm sure that helped.

I was able to visit with Joan........my HS friend from Temecula and we looked at some houses on her MLS listings on her computer. She and her dh came over to my brothers for a afternoon.

She is just an amazing woman. A realtor, lawyer, and flies her own plane. I can sure use her positive energy in my life now.

Em is your Dad out of the hospital.

Nikki what kind of a stone did you lose?

Rachel.......happy birthday and enjoy the cabin

Patti..hi --hope you feel better

Susie.......did you pull up your carpet

Lisa........hope you stop crackling in your lungs :blink: and Brian dancing........such great news.

Probably left someone out and if i did so sorry

Amanda........left you for last............

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. when we lost our first one like you the dr said the same thing but that we COULD get pregnant so that is good.

it took 10 years but we finally had our son...............

I doesn't help your sense of loss. I lost ours on Mothers Day of all days.

Thanks for all the well wishes while i was MIA

I would come on and read off and on.

It's been 5 1/2 months since I've had a cig and today just found a full pack in a old purse while cleaning.........................when will this craving ever go away? :blink:

Well going to post this on the 'smoking' thread as i haven't been there in ages either.

if i don't post ................ it's not cause i don't love you all.

Just not spending much time on the computer

I did miss you guys! :D

No, we didn't go to Woofstock. We went last year, but this year it was on the same weekend as our local BIA street festival. Once a year, on the second Saturday in June, they have this big do on Yonge Street around Lawrence. We missed it last year, due to another business commitment out of town. This year's Village Day was a disappointment. We planned for an extra busy day, but it was just a typical Saturday.

Hi Peter!

elye Community Regular

What a GREAT post, Jooooodie! :wub: It feels so good to read you again. Glad you're on a new med that seems to be helping, and 5 1/2 months smoke-free??! AWESOME.

My dad is still in the hospital......he is booked for a second kidney surgery on June 23rd... . ..we'll see if he is strong enough. Thanks for asking about him! You are amazing, remembering all of our issues while you're so busy with your own... ... :)

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Going downstairs but just wanted to ck back as i posted on the smoking thread too

Em, so sorry about your Dad.

Was he able to get out of the hospital at all since that first surgery?

This has been a really long hall for him.

God Bless him and you for being such a sweet strong supportive daughter

congts too on Ripper at camp and Sopie getting a job

Too bad she can't get you 'free' food you can eat. ;)

jerseyangel Proficient

I go out fer a little while and miss the return of Judith!!!!! :D So happy yer back ;)

PeOter--"Woofstock" :lol: :lol: How cute!

Got up to 97 earlier--it's 88 now at about 9:15PM. We went and did some grocery shopping this evening--it's so much more comfortable to go at night. At least there's a nice breeze.

Yeah--quiet day here in da ville......

Something else I was going to say, but I forget.......it'll come to me. :huh:

Follow the links in that one, and you can find a rather old picture of our store here: Open Original Shared Link

It is not a great picture. It shows the big sign, but not the entrance. The door in the photo is the back way into the basement.

It's just such a rare occurrence, both the shopping for shoes, and finding them. I needed some for my interview, and found a bonus pair! :D

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?
    • linnylou73
      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten
    • KimMS
    • Scott Adams
      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
