...watching the semi- final of the world cup.

I think I shall miss the 'vuvuzela' when they're gone :huh:

Spain or Netherlands? Will not miss those swarms of bees. They give me a headache. Do enjoy the jersey swapping. :)

Where in Minnesota? I have lots of family there. Grandma was French Canadian

My mother was born in Appleton, MN in 1925. Her father grew up on the family farm near Mora, MN. The family moved to Washington, DC, in 1927, and then to Berkeley, CA, in 1930.

HEYYY! So did I! smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

What a phab time.. . .. . ..the Chicago river/Lake Michigan cruise with Leeeeesargh and her fantastic friend Chris (an honoUrary Psilly if there ever was one) followed by a terrific dinner @ Maggiano's. Our time went by just too quickly... . ..canna believe we were together the entire afternoon - - seemed like an hour. I really felt.... . ..I dunno, honoUred, methinks, that Lisa came all that way, still battered, trussed up and in some pain, to spend that time with us. Knowing Lisa a bit more now, I realize that this is just something that she would do. wub.gif

Walking to the restaurant, we passed by a real estate office that had pictures on the window of available condos and townhomes in the downtown Chicago area. We immediately picked out THEEE perfect Psilly haven, a lovely big brownstone that we could all throw our money into and where we could meet together several times a year for Psummits. $2,100,000.00. So let's start planning.... . .....

Glad you had fun! Maybe you could check on a condo in Oprah's building.I'm sure they would be just as economical as that brownstone.

Lets' see: Could probably get the brownstone for $2 mil. Figuring 25 psillies that would be about $80,000 each. Hmmmm...

Jess - check my math?

Jess has a phlat?? I've never changed a tire before, but I think I could probably do it. The jacking up part sounds like the worst.

Actually.....I can't believe I did it! Never done anything like that before :P It was like visiting an old friend......well, she IS an old friend, but....you know what I mean. Em and Will were so easy to talk to....such a delight, the two o' them ^_^ We had so much fun.....it definitely ended too soon! And.......I got through the whole day without taking my 'knock me out and feel no pain' pills :D

Chris is THE BEST personal assistant a girl could have.She first became of service to me in Texa$$, then became DD's wedding planner, and now yesterday.....

hmmmm........I could probably hire her out.......

She is an excellent driver, note-taker...

.....handy for carrying things

.....anticipates my needs

.....has a flair for decorating

.....extremely organized

.....multi-tasker

;)

Actually......I think taking off the lug nuts is the worst part.They've either been tightened on so far or rusted on.......you could break a nail trying to get them off! <_<

Not phunny. Tired and run down. Maybe I'm not eating enough, I don't know. Maybe it's cuz I work phull time, have 2 kids on summer break who fight non-stop and I have 9 cakes to do in the next month.... I am thankful for everything, for sure, I just need to learn a bit more balance :rolleyes:

The tiny town I grew up in has it's annual festival this weekend. Tis called "Cheese Days" (No joke, the rival town across the freeway has "Egg Days"--I think we should all come together for a great "omlette days" weekend!! :P ). I have to work tomorrow, but I'm going to head up tomorrow night with my sister and brother. The one tavern in town shuts down the whole block and there's karaoke, lots of booze (which I will NOT be partaking due to last weekend!) and fabulous people watching. Tis the epitomy of hick-ville! Soooo much fun!! :D

OMG!!!!!!! Disaster at me weigh-in (Weight watchers)

I really went for it this week with exercise....in fact I ran a marathon and some when I added up what I did in a week.

Did I lose ANY weight???

Did I french toast!!!!!!!!!! :angry::angry::angry:

Harumphfffffffffff <_<

Next week you'll probably drop more. Jess is right, your muscles may be swollen. I try not to work out the day before I weigh in. Then I weigh in first thing in the morning, necked and after everything's left me body.... :lol: Must be as light as possible!! :P

GAHhhhh!!!... a friend took me to Costco (do you have these??)....I've spent waaaay too much

You got me thinking about a memorable phlat I had. As many of you know, in July of 1994 Jacquie and I drove to Alaska. Sixteen years ago, to the very day, we were here, on a Saturday morning:

img021.webp

The view is looking north from above the Arctic Circle into the Rock River valley. Our progress north was blocked by a phlooded out pherry at Phort McPherson, and so, late in the evening we were returning south. The Dempster Highway crosses the Rock River about 11 miles south of the NWT-Yukon border, and about 24 miles north of the Arctic Circle. There is a Yukon Government campground at Rock River, and we stopped so somebody could use the facilities. The roadway through the campground was fresh crushed gravel with sharp edges. You guessed it--the left rear tire goes phlat. It is quite late, although still light, but there are billions of skeeters. The campground is deserted, so I have to change the tire with their help. :angry:

Got the tire patched the next morning, but two weeks later, again on Saturday evening, that same tire was fatally punctured again. The location was the middle of the town of Jasper, Alberta, which was a much more pleasant place to deal with it.

I have not had another phlat since, and will probably jinx myselph by saying so. :huh:

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
