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

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.

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!!

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 <_<

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!

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?

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.

      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.
