YAY, Patteigh! This sounds like the perfect way to bring up kids -- relaxed with boundaries. And it certainly helps if DH is completely on board... . . .the odd time Will and I disagree on kid matters (he is more strict than I), but a happy medium is reached, and what the hell, our two are not out setting fires, beating up other kids or carving someone's initials on their arms... . .. . ..think we're okay... :rolleyes:

Looked around my house & most of my paintings do not have glass on them. Only the small ones & the ones in dark corners. Wasn't that smart of me? Also, all mirrors are of the waist up varity so you cannot see your bum.

This is ingenious, Kherrighnne. I think I need to hang ALL of my mirrors about six inches from the ceiling - - therefore, I would myself see from the nose up. My eyes are okay, and I have decent cheekbones. NO, WAIT!.... . . ... :unsure: . . . ....... .I have crappy hair.... . . .hmm. P'raps NO reflective surfaces.... . . ..:lol:

I always gain weight in the summer because of all of the fruit I eat. They're called "personal" watermelons, but I really don't think they're meant to be eaten by one person in one sitting :rolleyes::P

Mygawd... . ..... . never heard of these....Little, personal watermelons? Like a personal pizza? Strikes me as quite phunny, somehow. . . . . .. ... . :lol:

HAHAHAHAHAHA! How are you this clever this early in the morning? Oh wait, different time zones :P

I wish that were true! I always gain weight in the summer because of all of the fruit I eat. They're called "personal" watermelons, but I really don't think they're meant to be eaten by one person in one sitting :rolleyes::P

I'm clever in any time zone! ;)

When we were kids, we got the locally grown giagantic watermelons. Cut them in 5 chunks (1 for each person) & eat that huge piece at one sitting. I'm sure there must have been some bathroom reprecussions but I don't remember.

So M, the 14 year old, is working on his Boy Scout badge "Family Life". He had to discuss family finances with us then he will have to tell a merit badge counselor what he learned. His dad said, " Tell them that in this ecomomy, we have had to lay off 2 gardeners, 1 house maid, and the baker. The poor cook is reduced to baking without wheat flour."

True dat! :P And having actually met your kids, I can honestly say they are both intelligent, funny, and absolutely delightful. :D

Gawd--that is so phunny!!! :lol:

:lol: My Jack is in cub scouts, and had to cook the family a meal in order to earn this very same badge, I believe. He put two frozen pizzas in the oven - - one gluten-free, the other one not - - and did NOT earn it. <_<:lol:

I've seen those. They're pretty small. By the time you cut off the rind, I can't believe there would be too much left. I'm sure I could eat it in one sitting.

Patti, I'm sending you one Skeeter and one Smackl via UPS. Don't worry, I've poked holes in the box and written "Fragile" on it. I'm sure they'll make the trip just fine.

I live in Kansas. We have tornado parties - pack up snacks, drinks, pillows & head to the basement.Last tornado season, the weather station was tracking one that stayed up in the clouds. It was directly over one of the boys friend's house & they were texting each other about it. :P

Well, thankfully nothing happened. It's still pretty dark, but the warning has expired.

I (we) were consistent about many things from an early age--among them--school work/home work, drugs, honesty, respect for others and their belongings, fair play--ya know, don't be a jerk.

Oh yes, definitely those. And be yourself.....don't follow the crowd.

thought this said "tomato pasties' and I was confused about why someone would want to segue the discussion to tomato pasties . . . but this is the psillie thread and we would discuss items such as tomato pasties.

Hmmm. . .... . .tomatillos?... . .. .. . ....I believe there is a variety aptly named pear tomato..... . ...think that'd be me.... .. ... ...<_<

I need everyone's expert advice. DH and I had been planning a trip to New Orleans in early July. We have not booked anything yet, and now that this horrific oil spill in the Gulf has occurred and there seems to be no end in the near future... . . ..well, we are re-considering. We would be going down for the incredible seafood, the touristy sights of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River (which have been and/or could be horribly desecrated by this disaster), all the sights and smells of the American South (again, badly affected).. . .. ....and, of course, the incredible music, which will always be there!

The tourist industry in NO has already felt the brunt of this - - I've been on a few websites of B&Bs and small hotels in the city, and they have closed for reservations until further notice.

What would you guys do? Would you still head down there? We are casting our eyes to the near south - - I would LOVE to see Chicago. We won't have time nor the funds, likely, to do the southwest (I'll get there one day, Sooozle and Judy)! and we were out west last summer (missed you, Jyesss - - next time!)... . ....just dunno. . .... . ...

That oil spill... . . . ....so horrific.. . . . ... :(

Hmmmm, come to Oahu wif us in August..... ;)

Always wanted to go to Chicago too, early July would probably be good too, not too hot yet. Have you looked at any travel boards re: New Orleans to see what people have posted of recent trips down there (since the spill)? It might still be OK....

How'd the Open House go? Anyone besides the neighbors come by? If you don't sell, does the company buy the house? Or are you stuck in TX for the duration? I hate selling houses. I think I'll stay in this house forever. Then the kids will have to deal with it. :P

A couple came by for the second time. No idea what they're thinking. Yep, I'm here until it sells....Don't think I'm ever doing this again.....

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.
