*high five* on the charging of electrical goods Geoss!!!..... I myselph consider it a great achievement (gaaawd, charging the ipod requires a torch AND a magnifying glass to get the usb thingy in the hole :blink:)

This is an example of when having a child is handy. My boys can see the hole thingy for the usb in the dark. Oh to have young eyes again! :mellow:

I have accomplished my to do list for the evening which consisted of:

plug in mp3 player

plug in laptop

I am astonished by my own industriousness....

You are simply amazing! :P

Actually, wanna trade places?? ;)

don't tempt me........I'll be drivin' up with a Kitteh and a Sweet Oui-zell in no time :wub: (they are both real People Persons :) )

the 3's of you's are welcome anytime!

:lol: :lol: Um.........I do this ANY time I bring something EVILLE into my house.......if you eat it all in one day, you just do NOT have to worry about it after that :lol:

I think about it this way: Regardless of WHEN you eat said food, it totals the same amount of calories. If you eat it in 1 sitting or 5, it's the SAME amount of calories! Pheel phree to eat it at once!!! :D :D

AAAA!!!!!<--- excited yelling

So this morning around 11 I applied online for a job and around 2 they called me for an interview! Holy FRIGGIN crap! It's TOMORROW! These people really want this position filled... Um, what do I wear if it says 'business casual' on their website? Trousers, heeled fancy boots, and a buttondown? I gotta do the laundry....

Congrats & Good luck! My hub is in HR & he would probably say to dress a little nicer than they do. Maybe a blazer with the shirt. I'm assuming the boots are under the pants? Not too tight pants or any cleavage. You probably know all this but you might not believe the stuff women wear to work these days.

Oddly enough, I have to work hard to look my age. I tend to be so very conservative with my clothes that fun, friendly places to work think I'm stuffy and annoying. I used to work a hotel front desk so I KNOW what people wear to interviews, it's just unreal. A wifebeater? Really? And no, I'm not tucking my pants in my boots! I am planning on dark brown, perfectly fitted trousers, brown heeled boots, light blue fitted shortsleeved knit top, and also perfectly fitted tan jacket with 3/4 sleeves. And big buttons. Does that sound too stuffy? I'm going for fitted because I tend to choose loose clothing and it makes me look frumpy. And I can take the jacket off and the knit top will still look very nice.

Sounds lovely, bunnie! I didn't think you were going to tuck your pants into your best cowboy boots (unless its a saddle company) but.... I had someone bring a baby (& someone she met on the bus on the way over to watch the baby) to an interview. As soon as I heard that a stranger was with the baby in the outer office, I couldn't go on. I had to check the baby was still there.

I'm in the middle of a sobfest right now. I can't stop crying. I've been asking and answering a lot of hard questions in the past 2 weeks and I just had a major realization that we want 2 different things from our relationship, I feel like we are moving in the right direction to meet in the middle and nothing I ever do is enough. He asks something of me, I comply 100% of what I have in me and it's never enough. I'm crying all the freaking time and I HATE it. Why am I not enough? I asked him this and he had no answer... I'm a freakin wreck.

I'm really sorry, I shouldn't dump. I just needed to get it out and my son's sleeping and I can't scream :( I'm gonna go bake that cake now.

You've been working so hard in so many different directions right now, and you really need a break. I'm glad that you have your baking as a sort of outlet...

You can't fill a hole in someone else's soul. Your job is to enhance his life, not complete it, that's up to him to do. You are a vibrant, intelligent, loving woman and you are more than enough for someone who isn't hiding from themselves. You can't fix him. You can't make him see you for who you are. You CAN be the most amazing you that you are. Stop waiting for his approval, just be quietly awesome, as you already are. He will, or he won't, realize what he may be losing, but what he realizes is up to him, not you.

You are welcome to come up to Bainbridge for a weekend, if you don't mind construction and no kitchen. We can drink heavily and you can scream all you want.

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time. Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously! But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms...

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      Thank you @cristiana.  Its really helpful to hear your experience, thanks for sharing.  8 years is a long time!  And its also good to know that others have experienced worsening before it gets better.  I've just started doing the food diary recently, and I'll keep that going. It's at least helping me try to get a handle on this, and also helps increase my overall awareness of what I'm putting in my body. I will also message my GI doc in the meantime too.  Thanks, it's really helpful to talk through this.

      I've been gluten free for 5 years, as well as being intolerant to gluten, my list of intolerances is growing.. from dairy, eggs, soya, yeast, to mushroom, garlic, onion, spinach and quite a few in-between, basically my diet is gluten-free cornflakes, rice, banana, almond milk and fish anything else causes bloating, severe abdominal pain, mucousy diarrhoea, lethargy, muscle and joint pain, kidney pain, headaches, and mouth ulcers. I've been told it's IBS, I think it's more than that... I've been sent to a gastroenterologist who tested for coeliac, if course it came back negative because, as I told him, I haven't eaten gluten for 5 years, he's asked me to eat gluten for 4 weeks and redo the blood test, so I've tried small amounts of crispbread for 3 days and am in agony, I can't do this for 4 weeks and then however long it'll take to recover. Has anyone got any suggestions, and is multiple food intolerances a common side effect of coeliac? I'm struggling! And struggling to be taken seriously 😒

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.
