OMG! EM! I may be your mom or her lost sister! My color combos often only make sense to me. I have been known to use markers in my hair to cover the gray or add highlights, and I need and would sooo wear the bikini bib.

Your mom's rehab center sounds more fun then my mom's. The big excitement is when I bring the dog. He runs amuck, knocking old crippled up people down. Actually, he is better behaved then a lot of the residents.

What do you guys do when your significant others are being 100% D-bags? Do you have a coping strategy? Argue logic, which they are apparently incapable of comprehending? Poison their food? Stay at a hotel until they're done being D-bags?

'Mornin', Peeeeps!

My brother has landed in town to be with Mom while my sister is out in Vancouver (left yesterday with four old girlfriends for a week away together - - what a blast, and well-deserved rest), and my family and I head to Toronto for meetings and a bit of sightseeing. Where is Soooozle? I need to set her up with bro... . . ...they are meant for each other, I just know it. Too much geography happenin'... . .. .

We're not married. Thank God.

THAT is the answer, methinks. .. ...

Have a good time, Em...hope I'm not too late :P

Sills, I'm so sad :( Mark left this morning. I've been through this before, and know I'm being a wimp but I'm really sad right now. He was home all last week and we had such a nice time just hanging out.

Last night we had dinner at PF Changs with friends, which was a lot of phun.

Speaking of marriages. . ......Patteigh, it is so wonderful to suddenly read something from someone who really found the right person. It was obvious in just the little time that we spent with you and Mark - - you really seem like kindred spirits, and a seemingly little thing like being sad when Mark is gone for a while speaks volumes, and is a testament to what a great team you are!

Well. .. . .I kinda miss Will when he is gone.. . . .....like, it needs to be for a loooooong time, though... ...<_<:lol:

This is the sweetest thing!! I wish I felt this way....I agree wif Em (at least I think it was Em..... :blink: ), he'd have to be away for a long time :P

Cannae kick this cold. My head pheels like it will explode! Want to be home in bed, snuggled up wif Max--cuz that's the way it's been for the last 3 days :wub: , but he ditched me, said it was time to back to school :( Sooooo, I came to work. I've surrounded my work space wif sanitizer, gemicidal wipes, latex gloves and tissues. No one wants to come within 5 feet of me :rolleyes:

My daughter is 11 and my son is 7, then there is my husband (child lol) who is 33, and the four legged ones who are 6, 3, and 4 mos.

I've tried changing my picture to one with all 3 of my kids (hehe) in it but it always comes back to this one.

I miss Hub, too. But I enjoy it when he's gone for 1 night. I like to sit in bed & read & have a glass of wine. Hub thinks bed is for 2 things & one involves sleeping.

Just don't read Dr. Laura or you'll feel worse! :rolleyes: I tend to retreat to my room or the basement with a good book and/or movies. I try to go about my business and ignore him. Deep breathing helps too ;)

Or make bloody red icing... ;)

Sorry about the cold. We have a really crazy one going around here. Mostly adults getting it. My sinuses felt like they were slamming against the inside of my skull when I moved but that was the main thing.

Some times it takes a coulpe of tries to change my pic. And then it changes a few minutes later. The ways of the website are mysterious.

I'm pretty sure after you change your picture, you need to hit F5, that will update the photos :)

Aw, Pads, that is so sweet :wub: A true love match for sure :)

Me, I need my space :ph34r: Clay used to be away a couple of nights a week pre-retirement, and that was just poifect for me. Since retirement this "togetherness" ALL THE TIME! gets a big much for me. Don't fence me in :rolleyes:

You're durned right there, too mysterious for some of us. I tried to upload a pic from photobucket and even though it was a jpeg it kept telling me it was the wrong type of pic :angry: You know, one of this pink jobbies like when you have too many :blink::unsure::angry::rolleyes:

We are trying to plan out summer vacation. I thought we were going to San Diego, so I had everything planned out but nothing was purchased, then hubby shows up today to take me to coffee this morning and he mentions we can go to Waikiki for about the same price--chaCHING!!! I wanna go to HI, AND, one of my closest, dearest friends lives in Honolulu. It's POIFECT!!! Now----we have to convince the kids..... Madeleine will be super easy, we took her to Kona when she was 3.5 and she STILL asks when we're going to take her back. Max has his heart SET on LegoLand, but I'm hoping I can convince him with the prospects of making giant sand castles and swimming in the 5 pools (with waterfalls) at the hotel (Hilton Hawaiian Village!!!)!!!

Say a little prayer for meeeeeeeee :P

She would have to have really good eyes. It is about 25 miles to Oakville as the crow flies, more like 30 if you drive.

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test.

So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
