Have to say, husband went off today looking for marine antiques. He came back home with two HUGE and I mean HUGE Whale vertebrae...and it's one of the coolest things in my house and holds a prize location, where everyone can see and say "WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT!" :D:D:D ...A BIG fish bone. I Love it.

Awesome! How big are they???? Sit on the coffee table size or BE the coffee table size? Definitely need a picture......fossil-type things fascinate me :P

If it's so cold you can see your breath and you fart outside, does a puff of 'smoke' appear near your bum???

:unsure:

Yeah......wouldn't it?

Have you ever farted in a wet suit? I bet Bevvie has! You can feel the gas bubble going all the way up yer back tryin to find a way out!!!

Skeeter's going in for another blood draw tomorrow . . . major allergy testing . . . I think it's gonna cost me some bigtime dollars (stupid insurance deductible) but I need some answers and if I get some, then it's worth it.

I've already met the whole family deductable this year by meself. If they don't code this last procedure right, I'll have met the family out-of-pocket max (we pay 20% of allowable after deductable). Its the year to get everything done because I've already paid.

We were watching a movie the other day where a guy gets in community service for drinking and driving--it was a kids movie :blink: -and now my son has been giving me lectures as well as telling everyone he comes in contact with that "mommy drinks and drives all the time, and it's not OK and she's gonna get in trouble!" I attempted to convince him for 20 minutes that it's OK for mommy to drink her coffee while she's driving (cuz if mommy doesn't get her coffee, she might get homicidal and then really get in trouble-I think I left that part out). I don't think he bought it, I just got a text from my girlfriend, who has my son right now, he told her what mommy does..... :rolleyes::lol: :lol:

Out of the mouths of babes... Hum, I was the neighborhood hooker. :lol:

Long story made short.. Before married, yet dating hubby, I flew in a small, hokey barnstorming air show. In a 1929 bi-plane, I threw out a hook to "hook" to mail, to demonstrating how the mail was delivered after he ponies got tired, and planes took to the air.

The neighborhood kids took home a conversation about me being the "hooker of the Flying Circus", asking "Mom, what's a hooker? You know Lisa, next door...". :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

I grew up in rural Illinois. The summertime jobs available to high school students involved farm work. One summer, I did a little work hoeing (volunteer) corn out of soybean fields. My own mother got much joy out of telling people that I was working as a "hoer".

Wow, that lady DOES have money we can't even imagine. . ... . ....at $9 a pair, and, what, how many in her audience? Hundreds? Crap.. . . . ... ....

I can just hear the audience members as they were filing out of the studio afterward, looking at the red mittens they were clutching....."Gawd, Brenda. Why in hell did you get us to line up for THIS show? You DO know that she gives out Ford Focuses from time to time??" :lol:

SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

I'm back from the land of the uber wealthy - WHAT A TIME was had - can't even DESCRIBE how much fun, with these girls, some I've known my whole life.......can't even TELL you how comfy, rebellious, elegant and still SO MUCH FUN our hostess is/was..........and I can't even tell you because I am SOOOOOOOOO TIRED :wacko:

still not recovered - we stayed up until 3 am being served cognac by the HUGE fireplace on HUGE outdoor terrace (with marble floors that were HEATED, so we could walk outside in our BARE FEETS!!!)

must post pics on some site - any recommendations? Shutterfly? Photobucket? Must warn you I took VERY detailed pics for my friend Gail, who knows these antiques and would DIE, as you all will........the treasure and home and comfy elegance are BEYOND DESCRIPTION.....the fun I had with my friends - the unexpected comfort of it all - was a healing balm to my soul :wub:

sooooooooo tired - going to nap soon - - not sleeping well -

:wacko:

I lay down on my bed about a half-hour ago with my eyes closed, as I wanted to see if I could manage three days like this. After twenty minutes I could no longer stand it - - too many things were calling to me. So, I got up and decided to keep my eyes closed over the next hour whilst I tried to manoever my way around the kitchen with all the dinner prep, insulin delivery, homework helping, etc.

Nope. There is NO WAY. I was walking into tables, walls and animals, reaching for things that weren't even close... . . and don't even ASK about the attempt at chopping up salad ingredients.

BUT, the most interesting thing that happened was this: the doorbell rang, and I felt my way to the front door. Opening it, I had no idea who was there as my eyes were shut. There was just silence, and the cold winter air.

I said "Uh, hello?"

More silence. Finally,

"Good afternoon. I'm, uh... . . . .. Ben from the Kidney Foundation.. .. ....."

Well, he did not stick around. I didn't even have a chance to give him a donation. Just stood with my eyes closed, and he left. Probably quickly.

*SNACKLE* this cracked me UP- - and - -

you have people soliciting for KIDNEYS up there? dang.......that's harsh..... :lol:

Obviously, you did this all wrong. When my eyes are glued shut for 3 days, I will have a rope to follow to get me to the bathroom. I will have a cooler full of drinks close to the bed along with snacks. I will have the phone and a TV and radio to listen to. I do not plan to take a shower or change my clothes . . . I also do not plan on feeding any children, helping with any homework, doing any laundry . . . or driving. You gotsta plan for things like this.

:lol: Oh yes, you gotsta plan

Let it rip. I won't tell anyone, and you can blame the dog/child/husband or anybody else who happens to be in the room.

eggZACTly *snorrrrrt* :lol:

or should I say

pffffftttttttt :)

Admittedly, it was easier not to follow the rule when we had a very fartuous Airedale around. :lol:

she said FARTUOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: x 20

And WHO is this Miss Mary - is she your aunt? sounds amazing......Bevel is right, we are going to be SPEEDING around wrecklessly when we is quite old ;)

survived the midterm from hell. Don't know if I passed. Even the hotshots were on the message board saying one particular problem was really really hard and took like half the time. Prof posted last night that it wasn't that hard and he expected most people would get a lot of points whatever

:blink:

um, this sounds HARD - -

Oh....in case it has not been posted, I received word yesterday that our Suzzle has indeed gone to the house of billionaire's wife. She said to send word to Psillies- I think she said two nights. An adventure!

was only ONE night - - less than 24 hours, and eight of that was in the car with a WHINING dingo............drove me MAD.....sedated her but still she paced MADLY on the way down...........and, she could not FIND me in the house!!! :lol: :lol: would hear my voice from somewhere (three floors and also with outdoor living areas)............was the funniest thing EVER!!! she had a GRAND time........squirrels aplenty ;)

You're all invited. Pretty safe invite since most of you live a bit far to get here by supper. And because you are all a safe distance - I just got the best apple cinnamon donut holes from a local gluten-free bakery in town. Better than any donuts with wheat bits I've had. Makes you suspicious of whats really in them? I'm afraid it is something addictive.

SEND. DONUT. HOLES. NOW.

not caught up yet - have to nap - - too tired - - - going to drink a screwdriver to induce sleep and remain in my bed...........

much more later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

am delirious :wacko:

bosses took me to dinner last night and I got home late - AFTER dog park with dogs and then afternoon pedicure with Jane (boss and friend, the wife of the duo) and an unbelievably delish and healthy g f lunch...........

How did my life turn and become so blessed all of a sudden? *sniff* (hint: the right antidepressant really did do WONDERS!!!)

Giving MANY thanks to God for answered prayers........good friends and finally, some JOY!!

Now you's just showing off a bit too much, Em :rolleyes: Making the rest of us feel like simpletons....Wellll, if the cap fits, I guess....

Psoozzle, so glad you went and had a fab time like we said you would. My, how the other half lives....heated marble floors OUTSIDE indeed!!

Ah, Miss Mary is a book in herself. Would fit right into Readers Disgust of "One of the Most Memorable Characters". Have known her ferevver, like since I were a teenager. My mom did not approve because she was not a "proper" lady, and used to do jobs like cleaning public restrooms to make ends meet and support her kids with no help from her abusive (and absent) spouse who was always trying to take the kids away and make them "proper" Catholics. Her daughter, Judy, was my best friend. Mary ran a boarding house where a lot of the Operation Deep Freeze guys used to board (that made the place even more suspect in me mom's eyes and she didn't want me anywhere near there!!) Mary's only son moved to Aussie to play Aussie Rules footy, and her only daughter emigrated to Canada with the other of the three of us that used to hang around together before I took off on my OE to England. So Mary was bereft. But she became even more bereft during the early naughties when her son died of colon cancer in OZ and my friend Judy suicided in Colorado after her ovarian cancer returned. So I take care of Miss Mary in memory of my friend, and because she has devoted her life to helping others in need, taking in pregnant teenagers abandoned by their families (Oh, the SHAME!!) :o and generally taking in the homeless and the friendless and the addicted and the sick and the dying, and nursing and healing. An amazing woman.... She still dyes her hair a strawberry red and wears it shoulder length, and sends me off to purchase makeup and lipstick and combs for her hair, and keeps on giving away money which she should be spending on herself... I could go on and on... :rolleyes:

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
