Yeah, Nik . . . wee Big Al!!! . . . Much better and more phitting for a 17 year old!!! Hope yer pheelin' better soon.

Sloozen . . . sorry to hear about yer hubby . . . hope something (better) comes about quickly.

Josie has a phriend over for the weekend. Willa is here for the next 24 hours. Willa is about 4 months old and is a golden retriever. She's a cutie and already annoying Jo-dog which surprises me. I really thought Jo-dog (who has had lots of practice annoying everyone) would be annoying Willa!!!

Congrats Pat-Tea!! . . . ummm . . . on the house, not on finding a bottle of sugar cola in yer phridge!! :lol::lol:

OMG! My husband got laid-off today!

Welcome to the club.....only my hubby was fired. They NEVER lay off. It's been over 2 months, now.

Can you not get COBRA insurance in the meantime?? Assuming finances would permit???

GADS, that is sooo expensive! I got insurance through my job, but insuring hubby on mine is out of our reach, also. So he doesn't have insurance at the moment.

On another note.....closing happened this morning--went off without a hitch. :D

WOOHOO!!!!

Ya know, one day I'll be back down there, since my son's not too far from you! :)

At least its not snaughing (ssshhhhhh)

:o Hush yer mouth!!!!!

Sewzan.....My husband's bosses were told they had to let more people go, and hubby was the highest paid in his department......and the most knowledgeable and most dependable. This is what yer daddy meant when he said life wasn't fair.

curlyfries Contributor
What can I say. Onward and Upward, I guess. :D

That's Right!

Like you, I'm pissed, but I have to believe there is something better out there for him. I believe in the 'another door opening' idea...just wish it didn't take so long! <_<

Keep the faith.......we're here for you ;)

And when that day comes, you and Brain better let me know!! :D We'd love to see youse guys again, and this time under much happier curcumstances ;):)

Yeah--Mark was the last hired and higest paid in his department....actually the deprtment manager. The company he was with eliminated the entire tier of middle management in one fell swoop. It was right before the holidays (November 14th of last year) and it was a nerve-wracking time.

His position down here is better (GM), and thank goodness it came along. The trade-off is that we had to move away from the boys. Ya just never know......but Sleezen and Leesiugh, hold tight and I know something is going to come along fer your guys :) You are all in my thoughts.

ps...Nick, get better and Iam... are you diabetic?

Nah, all the bad genes are on hubbies side......namely celiac disease ;)

:lol:

..and he is infact taller than me!!

He will always seem like 'wee Alzey' even though he's the middle child! I think it's because he has learning difficulties and still has an air of innocence 'bout him ;) (unlike me other boys :ph34r:<_< )

Congrats Pat-Tea!! . . . ummm . . . on the house, not on finding a bottle of sugar cola in yer phridge!! :lol::lol:

I'd like to commend her on both actually!! :lol:

Now you just stop that! :rolleyes:

I was emptying out some old e-mails recently and came across one from Jess. She had given her phone number and said if I needed anything at all........

*sniff*

....... 'twas a good cry, though.

I think I still have e-mails from Janet and other psillies, too ^_^ Have tried to get rid of some, a little at a time.

Time to move on........

Gah! Isn't it astonishing when this begins to happen?? The Ripper does not have to look way up to me anymore.. . . .this pleases him greatly, but for me it is a measure of time passing.....of me getting older... .. . . ......

He just ain't a little kid anymore! He's got glasses, and stinky feet, and an oft-mopey attitude.... . . ....

At least he still hates his sister, and remains GREATLY embarrassed by me when we are anywhere together. :rolleyes::lol:

Jeez, when he and Sophie start to become friends, and Jack can suddenly relate to me, I'm done for.

Hey!! I can get a muumuu here for like, $18!!!

Got up at 3:30 this morning, got on the 5:20 boat, took the limo to the airport and sat around for a loooooong time. Got to my hotel about 2:30 Hawaiian time and made myself go walk along the beach. Achieved my goal of going to see the pink hotel. And I am completely wiped.

Gonna try to do some homework, but I thought I'd say hi first.

I've been so out of the loop lately that I didn't know you were there already! How long will you be there?

Make sure to have some phun sprinkled in wif yer work :D OMG muumuus!! :lol: I remember when I was little and my grandparents came home from Florida with one for all the females in the family--my grandmother thought they were the greatest things :rolleyes::lol: We just didn't have such exotic things in Syracuse. :lol:

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. 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/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
