Yeah, Jess, the more clothes you buy, the more you eventually have to wash.

This evening is the fifth anniversary of my first post on the board. I lurked for several months before signing up so I could respond to a survey by a high school student who was also a moderator at the time. Molly isn't here often, but I see her on da book frequently.

Celiac, diagnosed by biopsy June 2000

Type I diabetic, diagnosed March 1986

Male, age 50

Hope this helps!

Had the day off today. We're back in the store tomorrow and Wednesday, then off until Monday.

Cold weather moving in. Going down to -16C (2F) overnight with the wind chill -27 (-17F).

:angry::angry: I bought these thangs a few weeks ago -- they are completely USELESS in my thin, fine, poker-straight hair. Will NOT stay in, even with some serious back-combing and spray.

I am a lost cause, 'twould seem.

POeter, methinks that you would have better luck -- I'll mail them to you.

Dentist now says TMJ. Starting muscle relaxers. Hope this works.

FIL called last night and has invited himself and MIL and BIL (that I haven't seen in 15 years) over . . . house hasn't been dusted since before Thanksgiving, still unpacking from the Christmas trip, pile of about 10 garbage bags full of quarentined stuff from the delousing stuff still located in the dining room . . . really looking forward to this visit <_<

You wish you had Henry now don't you?? ;)

Oh but UGHHhh on the invasion!!!!!!! - makes you see your house in a whole new light :o

I like Jess's idea!!!...... and maybe the muscle relaxants will render you incable of ANY domestic dewteas (e.g ever so relaxed on couch??)

Jyaghnutt's got TMJ! Methinks this stands for Too Much Junk, and yes, your in-laws can help you to clean it all up and out. Take those muscle relaxants NOW.....you will not care about the muddles and the dust. :rolleyes:

I was just contemplating something... . . ....I think I will try one of those useless Bumpits, currently sitting in a back bathroom drawer, underneath my boobs. Now THIS may work....... ..

Merry Christmas!! ;)

And if I get sidetracked again,

Happy New Year!!! :lol:

Meant to get on here and send you wishes on Thursday but twas up to me eyeballs in gluten-free pie crusts and fillings :rolleyes:

Had a great holiday with no drama--except for Max's face after he hit the pavement at 10pm on Xmas eve (pic on FB). Maybe he got into the rum.... :huh:

PSILLIES!!!!

Whatcha get???

I am totally in lurve wiv me new camera!! (thank-you Daniel!!)

Today I am back to work and I begrudgingly had to remove my new UGG boots I've had on since Christmas day, I'd sleep in them if hubby would allow them in bed :P

New guitar, so I will now learn to play and I'll write you all a song! :D

"Kids" got a wii, now my dd and I cannot raise our arms over our heads. Makes getting dressed difficult :rolleyes:

Hope yesterday was terrific for everyone. Today is the Ripper's THIRTEENTH birthday. He awoke this morning with his first zit, right inside his nostril. Good and bad: 'tis tough to get to, but not easily seen. I must relay that one of the first things Jack said as he was trying to see it in the mirror, and I stood behind him commenting on how fortuitous it was, having a first zit appear on the day of passage into teenage-hood, was "Whoa. .. . .. ......you need to tell the Psillies about this".....

I have one in the same spot, hurts to move my face!!

My worst gift EVER? A little ice scraper for my windshield, and actually, if that is the worst I can come up with, I think I'm one lucky goil..... . .it's pretty useful 'round here right now... . . ....

The year my hubby bought me "all things to make my life easier": Floormate (special wet-vac for wood floors), iron, iorning board, blender, dust buster <_<

Nuttin' will ever beat the unisex sauna pants.. .. ......... :lol::lol:

Um, guess where I found the shake weight-----Target!!!!!!! :lol:

Poor Nik--already queasy and has to listen to bones breakin :o Gawd.....I'm wif ya'll on the laundry--had a ton of it since I didn't touch it over the weekend. Just phinishing it up now......

I've washed the same load of whites 3x now because they've been in there for a week and I can't seem to get them in the dryer. You can barely get into my bathroom because the laundry basket has purged itself all over the floor in disgust!

Excellent idea Jess . . . but how horrifing to hear me MIL say "Thank Gawd, I thought you would never ask"

Muscle Relaxants won't be ready until 2pm . . . the visit will be over by then . . . perhaps I can use them to forget.

TMJ = Too Much Junk!!! . . . you don't know how right you are!!!!

I get extremely loopy on those things......even with half a one. Kids at school thought I was quite phun!

We are in quite a quandry over New Year's.

We have been going to a friend's house every New Year's Eve for years. It's a tradition. This year we have also been invited to another friend's party. The same place we went for Halloween. He has hired these people from a dinner theater murder mystery to perform, then dancing after that. So do we stick with tradition? Split our time between the two? And if we do that........do we attend the dinner/murder mystery part (which I probably won't be able to eat), or the dancing part?

I would laugh till I peed my pants if someone said this to me. If you are someone who takes pleasure in either cleaning, or a clean house, more power to you. I, however, prefer to deal with the mess by simply going somewhere else so I don't have to see it. It all just gets messy again, why do anything?

Jess, you are invited to come to my house anytime you want . . . :lol:

They lasted 45 minutes. Right before they came over, my FIL called to say BIL is allergic to dogs . . . poor JoDog, she really enjoys company . . . so after 45 minutes, BIL could no longer breathe. I did vacuum up the dog hair tumble weeds that were blowing through the kitchen prior to their arrival but there are layers upon layers of dog hair here . . . just no way to get rid of it all . . . probably stirred it all up during the vacuuming, too. Oh well, the house is a tad cleaner because they came.

Mornin', Peeps! I know, I know, but it is here.

The year my hubby bought me "all things to make my life easier": Floormate (special wet-vac for wood floors), iron, iorning board, blender, dust buster <_<

Ah, bless his heart. He is planning on being a busy lad! Just hand him his "mother's little helper" tools every Saturday morning and say "Thank you so much dear!". :lol:

My sister gave us a ceramic pukeko (native. colorful, . semi-wading bird) which has red iron legs (two) and there are three!!! holes in the bottom of the bird for you to figure out how he is supposed to stand. Of course you nae can have him standing inside unless very!!! deep pile carpet, so next problem is where to put 'im outside where the wind wont blow the poor wee fellow away on his long red stilty legs which just insert somehow into his body :o In our climate I will need to glue them in and tie him down, I reckon. For example, when I started this it was a calm sunny morning; now there is rain spattering on the windows and the wood pigeon on the telephone wire is clinging on for dear life in the face of a howling south-wester :rolleyes:

T'is cruise ship season, and every other day another unsuspecting shipload of visitors disgorges on our shores, not knowing wotinell to expect. Yesterday, the Vollendam with 2000 passengers descended on poor wee Stewart Island, way down at the bottom (nearest the Antarctic) and this same southerly bluster greeted them. At least Oban is on the leeward side. All 600 residents set out to make these folks feel welcome and enjoy the wonders of a pristine environment, and apparently a good time was had by all (pictures on telly of Americans eating crayfish and fish and chips, and of a lone 13-year-old lad serenading them ashore from the tender with his ukelele singing a slightly out-of-tune song--quite sweet really :rolleyes: )

Hope you are all having a great day.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free.

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
