Laundry is coming along. I've got a mountain of garbage bags filled with all the stuffed animals, throws, loose pillows, etc . . . sitting until I can run them through the dryer or a couple weeks time have elapsed . . . whichever comes first.

I'm worried that Skeeter will have a hard time at school. Her brother (who was also checked by the nurse and found to be OK) is telling everyone to stay away from her because she has lice. He's got a lecture and a vacation from the video games coming.

Gotta go . . . late for work.

Hope not, Jan-it. She does not need that too!

Hope you both have a good day :)

How do you all pluck yer chin hairs? :unsure:

Wif me phace plastered against the mirror :rolleyes: I do this every day, yet recently I found a hair that was almost 2 inches long!!!! :o

Good to see you back, Soozle! :D

Psillies . . . a terribly unpsillie thing (at least today it is unpsillie) . . . an early Christmas present for Skeeter . . . the school nurse called and . . . someone has given her head lice. I have spent the last three hours combing through her hair (she's got very thick hair) after I cut about half of it of myself as the hair cut place would nae take her. I understand this but the poor child has lice AND a hair cut from her mother and I haven't even take the kids' Christmas picture yet!!!

As if I don't already have enough laundry to do . . . I'm now off to launder every single thing in this house that will fit in the washing machine.

Gaaaaahhhh!!!!! When my dd got lice, her hair was almost to her waist, but not curly like Skeeter's. Did not cut it. Skeeter has beautiful hair!

.........I know.........those of you with naturally curly hair wish it weren't, and Skeeter will probably hate hers some day.

Snow and crrrazzzy drivers yesterday! Slide-offs and accidents everywhere!

First day back to the chiropractor since Brian lost his job. Ahhhhhhh!!!!! :)

Googling tells me it tends to be more of a girl thang . . . what wif the long hair . . . just two girls leaning in to look at the same book wif hair touching will do it, let alone sharing a comb or brush or trying on each others headbands or barettes. Smakl rarely tries on any of his phriends headbands.

GAH!!!!!...... my phull sympathies Gian-kneet <_<

Had a spell of around 6 months when the boys were little I just COULDN'T get rid of 'em.

T'was Al bringing 'em 'cos he hugged and got close to everyone :rolleyes: , then would pass it to Dan, me (I cried, - can you imagine trying to get a nit comb through my hair!!!)....never Martin or Tel though :huh: (wire wool heads!)

I was NOT a happy camper!,...we'd get rid of them, then GET them AGAIN!...ARGHHH!!!

I think I finally put it down to the fact there was one child in Al's class who was NOT being treated (In the UK, 'cos of our STUPID laws to do wiv Human rights and such nurses OR teachers are NOT allowed to check kids head's! <_< )

We used Tea Tree Oil shampoo and combed through EVERY night for MONTHS :angry:

<b@ST@RD bloody things!!!>

Am coming down wif a cold, compliments of son #1 and girlfriend <_< Me throat pheels like it's on phire :o Glad I did all the painting I wanted to do last week! :D

PadT's got a New Jersey cold!!!

Sending you honey and Lemon tea (wiv Tiger Pig ;) ) !!

Wish the hair on me head grew like the ones on me chin <_<

Gawd yes!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tired!! - a four HOUR stint of Christmas shopping was attempted today....... t'was nae pleasant <_<

....and GADS!... the music played on a continuous loop in one department shop is SURELY what they play in HELL!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sooooo sorry you're going though this. I got it when I was a kid, obscenely thick hair down to me waist--not for long, got it all chopped <_< Then I was a preschool teacher through college and I got it from a little girl in my classroom whose parents never treated their kids' hair and they kept getting it over and over until finally they shaved all 3 of their dd's heads :o Fixed the problem though!

Wish the hair on me head grew like the ones on me chin <_<

Watch out for the chin lice ;)

Busy weekend, got Christmas shopping almost done, gifts wrapped and under the tree, house decorated. Had to have the s-e-x talk with me 8 year old due to a bastard child at school telling her he wanted to rape her :o:angry: He has since been suspended, CPS was called, police involved, lots of counceling to come. I'm not angry with the child, but furious with his parents for exposing him to whatever is causing him to talk and behave this way (this wasn't the 1st time, but it was the most offensive and potentially dangerous). I was fairly basic in our talk and she took it pretty well. She thought it was all pretty gross :rolleyes: She's too young for all of this, and I'm not ready!!!

She got her braces off yesterday though, so that elation helped take her mind off of it!

Well, I don't even GET to have a tree this year, due to one devilish, wicked little kitteh, who would knock it down every single night, and break all ornaments

BTW - started my Christmas music one week ago - my own mixes, am very, very picky about this......have three different playlists :lol:

Wish I could send you all one.......I was calculating disc/packaging/shipping costs and figured, to send one Christmas C D to all sills would be about $150 - can NAE do it! :(

....and GADS!... the music played on a continuous loop in one department shop is SURELY what they play in HELL!!!!!!!!!!

Dear gawd.... . . .this, truly, drives me around the bend. So angry did I become yesterday as I started through Walmart, after hearing the same canned, horrificly hokey Christmas music for a couple of hours from shop to shop, that I suddenly, in a fit of mad abandon, began to SING along to the awful rendition of "O Holy Night", loudly.

Suddenly, from two racks over, I hear another equally energetic voice chime in. Then another, from a whole row over.

I wish I could say that within ten seconds, a classic youtube moment broke out, the entire store of frustrated, stressed-out customers belting out the chorus in protest.

Not quite. Maybe eight of us, though. :lol:B)

Wish I could send you all one.......I was calculating disc/packaging/shipping costs and figured, to send one Christmas C D to all sills would be about $150 - can NAE do it! :(

Soooozle! Why not put up the list of pieces/songs/numbers with artists/orchestras etc. on here, and we can download them ourselves? I would love this, and I will call the collection Sooooozle's Seasonal Songbook. :)

Well, the Monday morning expected snow did not happen, but it looks like we are going to get dumped on overnight, with about three inches expected to be on the ground in time for the morning drive. :(

Yup.....then it's comin' here.. .. . .. ..... :unsure:

Nikkeigh- I LOVE yer new party avatar!!!!!!! And 4 hours of Christmas shopping? HOLY SHITE!

Paddeigh- Get snuggly and have yerself a hot toddy (at the son's house who HAS alcohol!)

Pieter's balls- always a welcome topic :lol: :lol:

Missed Suezz and Pptaum and forgot to get drunk and come on...wth was I doing? Oh yeah... snoring! Raychelle must have had a hangover for me!

Souffle tops, muffin tops, chin hairs- I got 'em all!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r: :ph34r:

But I DON'T have lice......Giankinit- so sorry for you and Skeeter- what a drag! May they die fast.

I never had them. Thank GAWD (thick hair here too) and like Em and patti I never get bit by anything (except ticks- GRRR!)

raychelle- I'm so sorry about your 8 year old daughter being told that! that is horrifying. Hopefully she'll forget it soon but WTH could that kid be hearing at home? I didn't even know what making love was until I was 10 and that was the NICE part!

We got snough on Saturday night- woke up to a Winter Wonderland on Sunday- twas beautiful and it's sticking around- at least until tomorrow when we get snow- sleet-rain in that order.

I'm half way done with my shopping! Took a muscle relaxer and bought presents for 4 nieces and 1 nephew in 1 hour last Friday. I guess I'm decisive when on drugs :lol: :lol:

Thanks,

And, I want snow this weekend. Lots and lots of snow so that I cannot leave my house at all and I am forced to stay inside and bake millions of cookies with my kids!

RAE-chull, I am confuzzled that your daughter's only 8 yrs and had her braces off already?????....... we don't start ortho work here 'til around age 13 :unsure:

Normally thy don't start that early here either. It's the end of phase 1. She had an expander to fix a crossbite (which they like to fix before age 8 while the pallet is still soft), well, the darned thing ripped her 2 front teeth so far apart, you could fit a pencil between them and it was preventing the other 2 sets of teeth from coming in, so they slapped some brackets on her and moved the teeth together. Phase 2 will happen when she's a teen, and hopefully won't be as bad as it would have been!

Wrapping gifts tomorrow!!...what joy!! :P

Git yerselph one of them Scotch pop-up tape dispensers, it'll make the job so quick!!

I think she should get a fancy Christmas bead and thread it onto the bottom of the hair. Imagine how it would look swinging and sparkling in the Christmas lights :lol:

Reminds me that years ago, Rosie O'Donnell on her morning show braided her chin hair and hung a tiny bell at the end of it. :lol: Pretty phunny....

No snaugh here--just pouring rain. Good thing it's almost 50 degrees, or we'd be snaughed in!

Matt and I still plan to do some Christmas shopping after work.

Mark's aunt passed away--the one I've spoken about here....she was 92, an artist, and a really great person. She was more of an aunt to me ever since I've known her (35 years) than my own aunts. I'm going to miss her. Sad thing is that we won't be able to make the funeral--logistically it just can't work out :(

Yep, we're doing this right now also. Skeeter's expander (holy crap what a difference it made in her mouth) is due to come out at her next appt . . . I have no idea when that is, though. Smakl's also got an expander and brackets and will also have to have permanent teeth pulled . . . the poor bloke got the worst of both me and me hubby's dental genes.

Pat-tea, sorry to hear about you and Mark's aunt . . . she sounded like a wonderful lady.

We've got crap weathah here . . . hurrican winds and rain and falling temps. It's garbage day, so there's garbage blowing all over the neighborhood.

Anybody else get Patti's Christmas card?? . . . you know the one where she's rubbing our noses in the fact that even though she's thousands of miles away from home, she's still farther ahead with her Christmas schedule than we are?? :P . . . thanks Patti

Honestly, I think I'm trying to hold on to at least one "tradition".....something "familiar"....seems every year for the past few, there's been some upheavel or another, and with all the moving around we've done in general it's comforting that some things don't have to change. :)

I would have had to send to more distant family members who are older and don't have a computer anyway, just so everyone knows where I am now :lol:

It actually didn't take that long....no fancy notes or anything--did 'em while I was cooking dinner a couple afternoons ;)

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154
    • plumbago
      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
    • trents
      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.
    • knitty kitty
      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
