Hah! :lol::rolleyes:

Charles is getting quite fed up wif our Elsie, as all of the stuffed toys (about ten of them, everything from gorillas to elves, all without choke-y eyes) that were packed for us by his foster-owner have been fairly destroyed.

Charles lies with one between his big paws and lovingly nibbles at it, then falls asleep with it under his chin. Elsie gets hold of one and has all appendages ripped off within minutes.

Twice since Charles's arrival I have heard Elsie, in the middle of the night, throwing up. Sure enough, both times I found two large, soggy, furry stuffed legs and a couple of big elephant ears in her vomit. These are the number two breed on the list of smartest dogs, pholks .... . ... :huh:

Charles just stares at Elsie as she attacks his adored li'l toys, thinking, I am certain, "What in hell is UP with you?... .. These are MY things. Oh, hell, lookit this, she's EATING the damned thing! You are no purebred, baby"... . . .. ....

Well,Peeps, I'm having a cooking sort of afternoon. Made a batch of bicuits, cooked up a bunch of hamburgs with sauted onion for the freezer, steamed broccoli for din. Now, I'm going to make some cheese sauce, roast a chicken, and make some mashed potatoes. Then, I'll probably be so sick of lookin at food, I won't be able to eat!

What's with the kid that can't get his pants on, the dog that eats his buddies animal friens, the wierd card, A NEW AND SOON GRANDCHILDS, and boobs, boobs, and more boobs? What's with all that?

NEED AN IN-HOUSE SHRINK HERE! B)

See....THAT'S why I needed to see the movie again........not what I was thinking :unsure:

Methinks what's in my head is more like the toys from Toy Story that that bratty kid tore apart and put back together.......

......can't find any pictures........

ok.......those are called mutant toys

not sure if that's what I was thinking of, either, but it's closer

Happily, after 5 years dairy free I can tolerate it again :D

But, I used to use Spectrum Shortening and light olive oil for baking. If I wanted a buttery flavor, I used Smart Balance, although that has a tiny amount of whey that I could get away with. Earth Balance has a few dairy free choices, too. The sticks are like shortening, and they have a dairy free buttery spread that I think would work fine in a recipe like rice crispy treats. Those would probably be her best bet. :)

You cananadiens are wierd, wild guys, and your pets have strange dietary needs. And, your minds are ever so slightly Deranged. Is this because you have a low population density? Or, a dense population?

And, as a person who lives not that far from Cananada, Can I catch it? Is ther an h1c1 fake vaccine for it? You can make fab Holloween costumes out of heavy-duty Reynolds Wrap.

For cheap. I am the Queen of cheap!

And.....you guys wanna know what I had today that I haven't had in years and years???

Coffee!!!!!!

Back when I was sick, I could not tolerate it so I simply stopped trying. I went to tea and all was good.

Today, I thought--the heck with it, I'm having myself a cup of coffee! Say-la-vee!! :D

So far, so good--I'm wired beyond belief, but that's ok :lol:

I can't wait to get home and read all these posts so I can see all the pictures and check the clips-everything is blocked at work!! <_<

In the process of drinking a mango Kombucha tea--anyone else drink these? Is there a brand that tastes less like ass than others? This is the only one I can manage to choke down, the smell by itself is enough to make my stomach churn right now...Open Original Shared Link

I've got nuphin psillie to say right now. Lost a patient today, that sucks. Always brings the moral down.

Hee! A Metta special!

Catholic Shampoo

While shopping in a food store, two nuns happened to pass by the beer.

The first nun said it would be nice to enjoy a beer. The second nun

answered that, indeed, it would be very nice to have one, but that she

wouldn't feel comfortable about buying it. The first nun replied that

she could handle that without a problem, so, she picked up a six-pack

and took it to the cashier.

The cashier had a s urprised look on his face, so the nun said, 'We use

beer for washing our hair; a sort of shampoo, if you will.' Without

blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out a

package of pretzel sticks and placed them in the bag with the beer. He

then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said, 'The curlers

are on the house.'

      Wow!! Scott, Trent and Christiana thank you so much for your fast replies!! The information you have shared with me has helped me tremendously.   Thank you for all the articles.  I appreciate you all so much!! I’ll keep you posted in this post.  I will encourage her to get tested.  I feel a little better!

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.
