...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:

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
