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

This is a good omen :rolleyes:

I remember the last time you bought shoes--you may not do it often, but you do it well :P

Hey!!! Sorry I missed the Hey Jude peekin in. I think of you and send "well wishes" your way....do you feel them? Hope the meds help. Sounds like you are getting lots of things done.

Pieter stopped by too. Glad to see you....sorry you didn't do a huge run of business during the special event. "Woofstock" gave me a chuckle....mental picture of many many dogs at a super-party...jammin' away! :lol:

So......ShJess!!! What about them shoes? You can't just drop a teaser like that and not follow through!

I'm hoping that the quiet day meant that everyone was having some fun and just too busy to be here.

BTW.....Juuude...I'm so glad that your reunion and family visits went so well. I have never been to any school reunions.....not sure I ever will. Kinda neat to have had such a small class....and a close group!

Ok. I found the absolute coolest weird strappy sandals things. And at Ross, so 20 bucks! :D :D :D :D My feet are so screwed up that usually I'm lucky if I find something for under a 100.

Funny how there is so much less activity on the weekends. Is that a sign that people have actual lives and better things to do on the weekends? Hope its fun...what ever you all are doing!!

ShzJess....what kind of shoes is it that you like? I'm just curious!!! If I have a decent pair of work boots, hikers, sneakers...I'm happy. I DO like work boots! :P Much to hubbies chagrin. When we met I had 1 pair of black dress shoes. I figgered they were good for anything I might wear on those very rare occaisions that I might dress better than jeans!! How many times I heard.....you can't wear black shoes with that.....so I bought a pair of brown shoes (that I wore once). They both live in boxes in my closet. I do have a pair of dress boots (I love them) for my dress-pants type wear. Hubby just sighs these days :lol: I have a pair of dress sneakers....does that count?

Is working up to be another bee-you-tee-phul day here! Wish I could invite you all to come sit by the pond to just hang and chat! Would be so much fun!

Great day to you all....

Gooooood Sunday mornin', Psills!

Wedding shower this afternoon, an hour's drive away.... . . ..my second-youngest nephew's marriage is in August, and I've no dress, NOR SHOES, Jyessss. Sounds like I need you to scout out some lovely, cheap li'l strappy numbers for me.......I am as well a member of the screwed-up ankle/feet fraternity. . . ..... :angry:

Since much of my dad's TV wardrobe is sitting unused in storage at the house, I've often thought that it should be worn - - seems like a waste of some very sophisticated costumes, still perfectly good. I should probably look through it all, and wear the sumo wrestler body, thong and wig to the wedding.

Or the German Prison Commandant . . .....or the complete Dame Edna ensemble (Dad's name was Bernice when he was portraying her)...... . . ..or the incredible drunken lo-life, complete with filthy, rolled-up foam mattress pad tied to the back. .. ... :lol:

I would love to wear one of these. I think heads may turn when I enter the church, and our bride would not be amused. :lol:

OR: Why not bring the costumes into the hospital, and help my dad get into them, a new one each day?

...Now there's an idea. . . .. .....

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?

He's been in the hospital ever since that first surgery, which was April 23rd. :(

Hence the merit of this wardrobe idea - - nothing would spice up a hideously long hospital stay, for the patient and particularly for the staff, like authentic John Wayne

chaps, holster and stetson or Richard Simmons spandex and reeboks. . . .....

:huh:

:lol:

Sillies-----I have just concocted the most enjoyable lil dessert. Sliced banana, scoop of plain greek yogurt, chopped pecans, drizzle of honey, and cinnamon. Yum!

Wow!! And I can eat this! I can replace the honey with stevia . .. ....and cinammon has shown real promise in helping control blood sugars.

Could have been--it was quite a while ago. Yeah cause it was just before fall and you bought Italian leather :wub:

Now we know what's on Patti's permanent Christmas list. :lol::lol:

Um.. . . . . ....Patteigh is into leather. . . . .......

What else is that goil keeping from us, the kind, wholesome soul down south. . ....

Still waters run deep. . ....... ..

Leather, huh?

:P

;)

I have a pair of dress sneakers....does that count?

:huh:

:huh:

Tareeeesuh.. . .. . ...please describe. :lol:

Jestgar Rising Star

Dress sneakers! :lol: :lol:

90% of the time I wear super supportive sneakers. In addition to the owie bits, my feet are wide and I have bunions, so finding something I can even put on is unusual. I pretty much take what I can get.

Or convince the medical staff to wear them periodically when they walk in.

flourgirl Apprentice

Em! I think you've hit on a wonderphul idea! 'Twould be a great uplift for yer dad's spirits to be able to wear his constumes (or parts of them), to remember the fun he had in them, and even to pretend for a while that he is not the poor, hurting man stuck in that interminably dull and monotonous environment. So kool.....maybe you could both play dress up together and role-play. Just fabulous! Wish we could come and play, too! :P

We are off to a craft fair, and then back home to work play. Paul is building a trellis for me....well, actually for the climbing roses (which at this point are very drooping roses). *I* will not be climbing the trellis :blink: Spent some time with the camera outside this am. I love the gardens (did I tell you that already? :P ). It's so like Christmas to me....something new over and over again.

Yes...I have "dress sneakers". Nothing special about them.....I have 2 pair...one white (summer), one black (not summer). They are kept clean (meaning I don't wear them in the garden) and wear them when I go "out" (meaning not in the garden). I wear them with dress suits.....with dress pants and blouses.....with clean jeans (meaning jeans I don't wear in the garden).....they are quite versatile! My favorite sneakers look more like hikers (ankle support is almost a must), but I do have "walking shoes" that look presentable (depending on your perspective.....meaning....not my husbands). I have learned to leave the boots for winter wear (I can learn new tricks, still). Butt, the winters here are shorter and milder, which means I have fewer opportunities for boot-wearing. Perhaps I need to revert back to year-round boots. :D

Happy Sunday mornin' dear sillies!!!! :D

Dress sneekers--I have some! They're lil sneeker maryjanes--tres comfortable and cute. B) I wears em a lot wif jeans in the cooler weather. I'm a "shoe" junkie :ph34r: and have lots--especially me Birks. Have pairs in many colors/styles....they're me main form of phootwear. Me pheet are happiest in them, and living here should insure I can wear them lots, if not year-round.

Em :lol: Yer dad's costumes!!! :P I think you should avail yerselph of them fer different social occasions. Think of how proud that would make dad :rolleyes:

T--would love to come sit by yer pond and reflect. :) I miss me pond in PA--so relaxing to just sit and watch the goings on of the various fish, frogs, bugs.......

Jess--are you all set fer tomorrow? Those people should thank their lucky stars that you're coming their way! I feel like a nervous mother :lol: Um...wait.......older sister.....yeah, that's better :P

Morning Sillies and Happy Sunday

Its going to be a very warm day here so I am thinking about heading over to the inlaws and taking a swim. We need to head that way anyway to say goodbye to John's brother since he is leaving tuesday for Russia to study abroad for 2 months. He is heading to NJ this evening or early tomorrow to stay with his aunt- he is flying out of either Newark or JFK...not sure.

I just marinated chicken for dinner tonight. We got a grill Memorial Day weekend and let me tell you we use it at least 5-6 times a week. I love it! So I just marinated lemon garlic chicken. I am trying to figure out what as a side dish- maybe some rissoto.

I have found the gluten free betty crocker mixes and all I can say is Sweet! The cookies were so amazing and they stayed soft! Friday I made the brownies but I mixed in the cookie mix too so they Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies....to die for! The price for each box- 3.59. Decent compared to the 6.99 I used to pay for the GFP truffle brownie mix.

Jess- Good luck tomorrow hun!!! I know how much this means to you. You and I have talked about the lovelies at our jobs in the past and I tell ya- there are strong similarites so I know how you feel.

Lisa how was dancing!

Hope Raychel enjoyed her birthday!

Everyone else!!! HIHIHIHIHI

:lol::lol: Now THAT would take some arm-twisting, ta be shoore. .. . ....

When dad was hallucinating, I believe he was likely seeing these characters walking in and out from his curtained alcove, so the costumes haven't been necessary... .. .. :rolleyes:

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
