Pad Thai.......you must be getting SOOO excited!! You're getting a landscape package too? Fabulous! Hope you can post a pic for us to see!

Never really met Sven.....as a "playmate".....but most of my jobs have been SuperSven....long days of blood,sweat, tears....agony so glorious! Seem to have misplaced a lot of muscle in the last coupla years.....has someone here found it anywhere? <_< Maybe Sven has it!

Gloomy, gloomy day here today. Can't seem to find the ambition to get much done! Except some F Booking (hah!) Still far behind, there. Maybe I'll drown my sparrows sorrows in a book and blankie.....hmmmm....some tea would go good with that. I bought myself some strawberry -vanilla - rose tea for my boithday! Had to send away for it and it got here yesterday! Mmmmmmm.

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to , cry if I want to. You would cry too if it happened to you" (Don't know why this stuck in my head...but there it is!)

T--your tea sounds so good!! I'm on a vanilla caramel tea kick--every afternoon. Have to stop drinking it by 4 or so or I can't sleep :rolleyes:

It's a gloomy overcast day here, but not too hot. After such a hot and sunny summer, this is nice. :D

The builder put up a pic of the house this morning on the site--port-a-potty, trees and all :lol: I'll see if I can somehow get it up on here. Or maybe I can email it......

I've been drinking Vanilla carmel tea, too. It's great hot! Tried to make cold tea with it but it didn't taste very good that way. I make big jugs of tea for cold drinks at work.....pretty much have stopped the diet soda thing. Love diet vanilla coke/pepsi...but it gives me a terrible belly-ache. Anyway.....love the vanilla teas. If you can find the strawberry-vanilla-rose you should give it a try! It's like heaven in a cup! Mmmmmm :D

<---------OMG--I did it :D The site of the phuture Psyllie Summit!!

The sod is going in today--I thought they did a really good job wif all the trees and shrubs. There's another big magnolia on the left side that isn't in the pic and an oak on the right that I had to cut out to get the pic to upload. I wanna keep the pretty blue outdoor potty--maybe move it to the backyard......

flourgirl Apprentice

Pad - Thai.....your house is so beautiful!!! And yes.....you must keep the pretty blue port-a-potty. It sort of off-sets the colors in your house.....kinda sets an ambience for the place. Perhaps you could put some hanging flower baskets on it to blend in with the landscaping! Have you already mentally placed all of your furniture and belongings? Wish we could all organize a moving in/settling in Psilly Psummit with you! :D Then again....maybe we wouldn't get much work done.

New avs! New avs!

Patteigh, your feet were gorgeous - - but your new house is STUPENDOUS! :) So exciting...... . ...I think you should leave the porta potty right where it is until after the Psummit, as there will be, what, twelve or so houseguests with digestive issues hanging about. We will need all the toilets you can provide.... .. .....

On Saturday we received in the mail a plaster heart wif Allo's wee paw print and handwritten at the top of the heart was his name and 1991-2009. His vet had this done. We had no idea about it, it came as a complete surprise.

Pad tea :wub: I read about this DAYS ago and wanted to say how sweet it was

Omgawd.you guys are outta control Everytime I come on I pheel like I have to learn a new language

dude - pseriously!!!!!! it's Slumdawg in Ohio's fault :lol:

Being a black Burundian did not fit my lifestyle, so I'm back to being a shrinking, old, white, retired Ohioan. That's hard enough.

Just dropped off poor little Lyle to get his teeth pulled. :(

Poor boy has been yelping when he tries to eat.

:( poor widdle Lyle......how is he doing without his brother? you need a baby kitteh :wub:

Or, I could ship my art supplies to Soozie, so she wouldn't use them?

Phloozie, you could NOT have hit the nail more precisely on the head. :lol:<_<

<I HAVE been making some jewelry, however>

Ya know, yer phootz are lookin mighty fine tonight. Maybe it's cause my head has been in a big pot for quite sometime now. Since the 60's, when I named my first born Sember. No wonder I'm so wrinkled up and pruned -faced.

First off, I loved Louise Nevelson- not her art, but her face. When I was 18, I wanted to look like her. Now that I do, I want plastic surjury. And it's out.

Speaking of sturgeons, Can a get a neck shortening? And, can this really replace caviar? It's a long roe to hoe. And, I am the hoe to hoe that row.

I am so tired from my head being in pot for so long, and I NEED some frosted brownies. Em- you want to draw Doc Swuuss That's where my art supplies should go. Maybe this is a sign for you to become an artist, and sooz and sleez to become corporate magots. And Petravinski and Jesskolnikov could join my son and poor dead Annie being smart at Yale. Jezibel should continue doing molecular stuff, but concentrate on the nutational rate. Bunzafire- bake some brownies. Send them to me, post haste. Jagnut, Pity, poTOMac....I have to go POTTY. Later

Was dreamin of the 1 ripe watermelon in my garden, have been watchin it daily, discovered last night that it was ripe for the pickin, wanted-foolishly-to wait till morning to pik it fresh for work to find that some mofo in the middle of the night STOLE MY MELON!!! :angry::angry: It's not like I have melons comin out my arse, cuz that would probably be painful... I only have-had-5, now I'm down to 4 little ones which probly won't ripen. Flash fwd, boys at work, SOMEONE STOLE HER MELONS-LET"S SEE!!!

Ate a pear for breakfast, made a comment about my "bruised pear" boys at work-"THOUGHT SOMEONE STOLE HER MELONS- LET ME SEE THE BRUISED PAIR!!"

Ate a peach for a snack in the afternoon, talked to our equipment rep for a minute before realizing I had peach stuck in my front teeth--that was the last straw-boys at work rolling on floor laughing-"SHE'S GOT PEACH IN HER TEETH" Even I had to laugh at that one!

Dirty dirty boys

:o OMG - do we work in the same place? this sounds EGGXACTLY like what those cretins at work would say *snort*

So depressed. Can't post tonight. Found out from Irish Daveyguys past that I am DEFORMED. My pinky is way short. I always thaught that my body was perfect (sans the no shins, no butte, no tittles). Now, all day, I have looked at my pinky and realized what a freek of nature I am. Leave it to an Irish man to have Jewish angst and to send it to this Irish woman. No wander we've always been at War!

Got great house. Depressing. I had a great house.

And cute Kitty. Deppresing. I had a cute kitty.

Nice dogs. Deppressingg. I had a nice dog.

Pooourr Psuessle! I do know just what you mean! When I think I can't stand how bad I can pheel, and the heck with it, why bother? I stop a minute to ask myselph.....do I really want to add all of that crap (literally) back into my life to pheel even worse....like I'm dying? I did, however, like wearing size 4 (even if I did have to shop in the little kids section and search in vain for something that looked like it did not belong in a dumpster)....but I did not like it at all when the size 4 pants were falling off....nor did I like it that everyone around me thought I was dying (including myself). SO....do you want to go back on rat poison? I pseriously hope NOT.

End of tonights lecture.....Professor TED has gone back into the mental closet!!

Al's school just called...he's just ate a piece of toast - given to him by a new member of staff <_<

The Head Teacher was most apologetic, wanted to know if there was anything they could do <_<

I replied 'just keep him close to a toilet'

BAH!!!!!!!!!

In truth, it's been that long since a 'proper' glutening , I've NO idea how he'll react :unsure:

I'll bet he'll be fine the rest of the school day - we'll probably get the fall out over the weekend <_<

PADT!!! I may need the spare terlit outside your (bloody gorgeous) house!!! :lol:

Ok, guys, really, I know it's not ME with celiac disease (& therefore shouldn't grumble), but I'm bored with the whole thing now!!!! :angry:<_<;)

I dunno what's goin' on but I'm suspectin' thyroid - my doctor is CCCCCCCRAPPPPPPP - hate him - - dunno what to do now :(

Soooozle, this is a haynus situation. :(:angry: Can you not find another doctor? I know the thought can be overwhelming. It is difficult to do this here in Ontario where we are facing a real GP shortage, but I know of a few people who have been disgruntled with their family docs and gone to a walk-in clinic for second opinions, different approaches, etc. Do you have a walk-in close by?

I DO have a plan, however.....prayin' it works..............

AL's eaten toast?! :unsure: ..... .. . . ...... :unsure: ... ....... .. .

Poor kid. It feels SO awful when only a bit of accidental gluten gets in - - a whole piece o' bread would be that much worse. Let us hope that the blast-off occurs at school -- THEY can deal with it!

Al's school just called...he's just ate a piece of toast - given to him by a new member of staff <_<

Oh fer PeOter's sake! :( Can't believe they would make such a mistake! Hope Al is ok and doesn't suffer a bad reaction. I remember a member here once saying that cross contamination really did her in but larger amounts (in her case, a cheat) didn't do much.

A fry-up....don't know what that is but it sure sounds good :D Does it contain bacon?

True dis! B)

I say send Al to the staff member's house for the weekend. She needs to understand the full extent of the poo crime she has committed.

Lyle is feeling much better wi'out his teef. They left the front ones, so he still looks cute when he smiles, but all the back teeth got pulled. After the first day home he started feeling better. He still gets pain meds, because I don't want him to feel bad, but he doesn't act as if he needs them.

This morning he whined and whined about going out, then to spite me went to hide under the bed, where he promptly started snoring. :wub:

I'll let him out when he wakes up, but for the moment I'm happy that he's sleeping well in a safe place.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability.

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      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
