Those sounded like mighty strong & mighty delicious drinks!

[jerseyangel]

anyewyay I have tp go to sleep laundry be damned.

That's the spirit!! Glad you had a good time

...likely all in the technique. ... .. .....

<snort>

WOW! Everyone has been very busy cleaning & drinking.

Sums us up pretty well.....

My son's team made it to the First Robotics finals & got 2nd place! (57 teams) I was so proud as he has done most of the designing & building of the mechanicals for the last 3 years.

Very cool!!

moving a little slow this morning....

I wouldn't be surprised

[elye]

UP AN' AT 'EM, JYEEEEEESSSSS!

Kherrighnne, that is terrific about your super-smart boy! Good for him! My son is also very interested in this kind of thing -- LOVED Lego and K'neks, building intricate things with moving parts......I do SO hope he will set his sights on becoming an artificial joint designer/engineer, as I will eventually enter my senior years and hope to still be running....... . . . ..

[celiac-mommy]

ok so went to my friends house. made ny margaritad (2 parts tequiela 1 part otrange liqeur, 1/2 par limonceloo anfd a splasuj of lemon (ir lime, but she only had lemon juice) drank these before dinner and I had mine before ia webt over).

You sound like me Saturday night, I'm still recovering today

Happy Monday everyone!!! I shall be grocery shopping and finishing laundry, and driving kids to karate and gymnastics and making lunches and snacks and dinner and cleaning kitchen and bathrooms and bathing the son and making sure the daughter gets all the soap out of her hair and making sure everyone has some of my attention today and getting a 2nd workout in and.........I'm exhausted already, I think I need a nap, oh wait, that's not on my list

And now I'm feeling super guilty cuz there are the cutest little squirrels in the tree outside my bedroom window jumping and playing--the tree's coming down this afternoon

One of the guys who started First robotics is Dean Kamen who is known for inovations in artificial limbs.

You have too much energy. The wee beasties will find a new way to get on your roof & eat your shingles.

Oh, crap, I need to coloUr me hair. Hmm. On tonight's list, methinks. . .. . ...

Doing mine tomorrow. Are we all on the same cycle?

[mushroom]

Sounds like we all need new lists--why don't we swap and do each others'? Could make life interesting for a day! But I don't want Ray-shelle's list, with dat second workout!!!

I don't think I would want to be yelled at by a Jyesss with a sore 'ead

And I assigned the task of colouring my hair to an expert; somehow or other it looks more "natural" that way. Besides she makes me capucchinos while the colour is taking I pay for this little extravagance by cutting Clay's hairs in return, those that are left -- well, quite a few actually, and he won't entrust them to anyone else

Karreign, very cool about your son's robotics expertise. It just amazes me what kids can do, also the things they get chances to do these days. All we ever got to do at school was cook, and sew pinnies.

Iffen Em keeps running she will probably need one of them artyfeeshall jointy things

Here's a question to ponder:

Last nite, Hub scrubbed the grill since we haven't used it since I've been gluten-free. He said no Gluten could still be on there. He wondered what a Gluten would look like. I thought round lite blue with little spikes all round & a smile on its wee face. He thought it would look like Java the Hut from Star Wars. What do you think a Gluten looks like?

Very cosmopolitan, Shroom

What do you think a Gluten looks like?

Hmmmm......have to think on what the most annoying pain in the butt too small to see but always lurking and ready to throw me fer a loop at any given moment might look like......

Doncha just get tired of it all sometimes

[curlyfries]

I saw the doc today . . . yay, I was surprised. He thought asthma. So I had a lung capacity test (or sumptin like that) and I passed with phlying coloUrs with a 129% . . . I could tell he was impressed that I could really blow.

Jahghnet really blows!!

But looks much better this morning, so maybe my flesh won't rot off after all.

Shroomie doing loopty loops, but at least she's not rotting

I apparently need to kick myself in the forehead butt and change my attitude . . . I was much funnier two years ago . . . perhaps

I KNOW I was much funnier 2 years ago. I think I left my psilly in TexASS

Patteigh......could you please send out a search party?

Did I tell you guys that I've lost 30 pounds in the last 2 1/2 months?

WOOT!! WOOT!!!

Why do they make miniature vibrators for the nose????? ........Am I missimg out on something??

Ooooh.....maybe they're actually little teenie Twa vibrators

Geez......all y'all and your lists........looks more like my list of things I OUGHTA do!

Believe it or not psills, but THE one year anniversary is almost here. Been fighting sinking into the abyss. Went dancing yesterday and was EXACTLY what I needed!! Still on a high today. I'm thinking about trying out Salsa dancing on Thursday to get me through the rest of the week.

My son will be having a party

That's OK for him I guess.........he was in a coma through a lot of it, so he doesn't have much to remember

[jerseyangel]

Believe it or not psills, but THE one year anniversary is almost here.

I was thinking about that the last few days actually. I've missed seeing you and wondered if you were having a hard time. I remember seeing you and your family at the hospital last year and your son while in the coma, and I have to say that these days I smile every time I see him and M happily posting about their plans and everyday life over on da book.

It's not surprising that this anniversary would affect you, Leesigh. I don't see how it couldn't. I'm glad you have your dancing to lift your spirits for a little while at least.

Love to all of you--what an inspiring bunch you are.

It was so great to see you in Texas....bringing me food!!!! How awesome is that!

He is such a busy bee these days isn't he?.....doing all the things he couldn't do last year.....all the things that got put on hold.

Brian and I went to a sport and travel show a couple weeks ago and looked at motorcycles

He bought a new leather biker jacket to replace the one that got cut off

I have finally reached a point in my dancing where I can keep up with the better dancers ( we're talking about guys here), and sometimes it's like being caught in a whirlwind! They've figured out that I'm easy to spin! And.....the better dancers like to dip

[jerseyangel]

And you....phlipping, dipping, and spinning! Our own Twinkletoes

What a difference a year makes

[elye]

Boy, THAT'S for sure! Leeeeesargh, how great to see you posting! :) It has been a while, and I was wondering if it indeed was actually a whole year ago that your family was stricken as it was. I was going to go back in the psilly posts to a year ago to check, but I just couldn't. . ... . ... . ..too sad. But it is GREAT to hear that dancing is bringing you through it! And Brian's new jacket - - awesome.

Leeeeesargh, how great to see you posting! :) It has been a while,

I've been reading along, but not much to say.

Oh, is THAT what she said?!?! :lol:

Yes, I am fluent in 'drunk Jess'

I did actually find something that she was consuming that had barly in it. I didn't realize it until late January but I know for a fact that she had quit consuming it WEEKS earlier because SHE said it bothered her. So part of me wonders if this all was just her system spiraling out of control after the fact. When she was first diagnosed, she continued to have sporadic regurgitation problems (not this severe) for about 10 months (the last two of which was really minor). At the time I was about to take away the dairy and we took her off all meds so that I could see what symptoms (and severity)were being masked. At the same time, I put her on a probiotic because one of the meds she was on was a long term low dose antibiotic and I thought maybe her gut was out of balance. Things cleared up (slowly) after that without ever removing (or reducing) the dairy intake.

In regards to dairy, would you expect an immediate response upon ingestion and you would need to ingest it at that meal? Or do you think it's a cummulative sort of thing that needs to build up and reach some sort of threshold? How quick to see a response to its removal?

Smackl grabbed one of Skeeter's new phake cheese slices for a snack and gagged on it, yelling "what is this?" "something's wrong with this!!!" "this is nasty!!!" . . . now, it was kind of funny because he was totally caught off-guard but at the same time, she's listening to him call her phood nasty

I'm baaaaack, sorry for the delay, I have limited medical resources at home and I only work 3 days a week...

Did they actually test her for gastroparesis? Has she had the gastric emptying study or the Barium swallow to rule out a sticture somewhere?

Is she normal height/weight for her age?

Any inner ear problems? Vertigo or dizziness?

The one common thing I keep running across is "food allergy" over and over. If there is something getting into her system that she is allergic to, the body's defense is to get rid of it asap. Can be gluten, dairy, or anything else that she may be sensitive to.

Did you google CVS? What did you think?

Got almost everything I needed/wanted to accomplish done yesterday, feeling good. Went to give Max a bath and I had sent him up to the bathrrom to disrobe and potty, weeellll, my bathroom is like a playgound for him. All the bottles, tubes, cans, etc... and apparently I left him a little too long. He had emptied the can of dh's shaving cream all over the counter and tried to clean it up with a pair of socks and then blamed the whole thing on his sister Sooooo, this morning I overslept, woke up 15 minutes before I needed to leave the house and I grabbed my toothbrush and started brushing away. All of a sudden, my mouth was foaming up and it tasted like I was eating soap I rinsed my mouth a million times (it still tastes like soap 3 hours later).

In the car I said,

"Max, did you put soap on my toothbrush?"

Pause

"Uh, soap?? Uh no, no soap..."

Me

"What did you put on my toothbrush? I really need to know what was in my mouth"

pause

"Uhhhhhhh"

Me

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble..."

pause

"You know that stuff I got all over the counter last night..."

Mmmmmm, brushed my teeth with shaving cream this morning

[jerseyangel]
