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 <_<

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..............

HEY! Youse canna be doin' this - - all must be divulged and put forward as a possible edict, and mulled over, and voted on, and yea'ed or nay-ed by participating members of The Ville. :rolleyes:;)

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?

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.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats. 
    • Scott Adams
      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering. 
    • Oldturdle
      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
    • Scott Adams
      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
