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:

Aw Rash-shell, no wonder yer tired! Hope you phind a balance and stop every once in a while and do sumphin fer you ;)

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

Oye...phamous last woids... :P

I had a phlat once in Georgia in a pick-up truck. I was turning into a grocery store parking lot and suddenly heard a loud hissing sound that turned out to be the tire that had just picked up a freakin spike relieveing itself of it's air. :lol:<_<

I had an 'experience' whilst driving a rental car with Clay in the front and my mom, dad and brother in the rear. Heard this throbbing sound like a helicopter hovering over the top of the car, realized it was a tire problem (on the freeway in So.Cal) and kept calm, while Clay (never a good head in an emergency) was phlippin' phlipping out :o He kept telling me to stop and I just said "I am not going to brake, I have my foot off the gas, I am in the slow lane and signalling and will pull onto the shoulder when I am going slow enough." And that's what I did. The tire was shredded :rolleyes: , apparently had just blown, but all were safe. My brother's fave photo album picture taken from the rear of the car is of a chipper standing behind the car, with Clay unloading luggage and supplies for a three-week trip onto the shoulder of the road, looking for all the world like a drug bust :lol:

Nah...that wasn't it. None of my phlat tire stories are witty or insightful (just boring). Maybe that's why the computer wouldn't let me type?

Just back from the orthopedic doctor. My humerus is broke clean through! :o That could have a pserious effect on me phunny :P

He also found a break at me elbow. So....don't touch me elbow, tickle or otherwise :rolleyes:

So phunny....when I met Em and Will, Em gives me a big ol' hug (don't know how she avoided the owies, but she did). Will's was more like an air hug....like he was afraid he'd break me. Leesargh was amused :P

And...I know I've had flat tires when on me own before, know how to change them, but never had to.

♫♪ I enjoy being a girl! Ow....can't do any more musical notes....requires 2 hands :(

When you do something, you do it thoroughly and well. That's a good trait to have.

Good gravy, Leesiugh--nuttin sillie about yer injury but I had to chuckle at yer fraze-ology :D Leave it to a sillie to have a clean humerUs break and a snapped elbow--tickle status off limits :o

It's not in cast....the break is too high up, plus the nasty road rash :pukeyface: I have a strap around my upper arm and around my wrist, which are both attached to a maybe 6 inch elastic band around my waist.

8 week recovery. 3 to 4 months complete recovery

I guess so!!!

DD broke her humerus right after DS was born (it was like having twins for 3 months!!), split the bone horizontally and then the upper portion shifted to the right :o Orthopedic surgeon said it would probably have to be pinned and she'd never have full extension of her arm again..... She was casted 3 different times from shoulder to fingertips and then I went full on with physical therapy at home with her. Not only did the bone heal perfectly in alignment, she now has extreme hyper-extension which is terrifying to watch her doing back handsprings :unsure:

--it was before she was diagnosed. Wonder if she fell just right, or if the celiac had anything to do with it....

Hub may be going in a small private plane this weekend to prepare for a Scout campout. Not sure I like the idea. Another small private plane just crashed near here today. :(. Do I "forbid" him?

Honestly Karen, I'd be nervous about it myself. Go with your gut--if you have a bad feeling let him know.

Agreed. My husband frequently wants me to allow him to take our 2 kids up in a tiny little plane "for fun".... I tell him-Over My Dead Body!

Okay, I'm taking the other side here. I have been a passenger in a small private plane on a number of occasions. The pilot wants to land safely. If something goes wrong, there are fewer backup systems. Often, there is only one engine. There is usually only one qualified pilot aboard. But, IMHO, you take a greater risk when you drive your car onto the freeway with all the maniacs running loose. At least, in a small aircraft, the chances that somebody else causes you to crash are about zero.

It would be interesting to hear from Lisa B. on this topic--her husband is a retired commercial pilot, who, I believe, still flies privately. I'll send her a PM.

I'm leaning toward not making a fuss as the pilot is a perfectionist who will not go unless he has checked every little bit. Both my parents (yes, surprisingly even my mom) used to fly before they needed the money for more important things like me, sis & bro. Would be interested to hear Lisa B's thoughts. Thanks, Peter.

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.

Most of my family is in Nicolett

But what about the elbow? Is that free to roam?? Yoiks, that eight weeks is going to slow ya down just a tad (or maybe not :rolleyes: )

It's bent at a 90 degree angle and is not going anywhere because the upper arm strap is attached to my side and the lower arm strap is attached in front across my stomach.

Do you really think he would listen? Last year when hubby decided to ride his motorcycle to Houston, I told him several times that it didn't feel right......I was scared of him doing it. And of course, he did it anyway. Y'all know the rest.

When people type K instead of OK, I think they are talking to me cause my hub & sis call me K.

I remember seeing an English TV show about re-decorating gardens and they had chairs & a plastic pool in the back garden. Didn't make it into the final design but I thought everyone in the London area had that type of pool. :). We still have one for emergencies (can ice down a lot of beer in one).

Becareful with the Russian and her wodka. :)

All Pilots have to have recurrent check rides annually, as well as the plane must have an annual inspection. Professional Pilots, twice a year.

Karen, ask how many hours the pilot has in that particular plane, as well as other planes. Check the weather. If the temperature is in the 90's and the plane is heavy with overweight people. Sit it out. An over weighted (illegal) plane can effect it's performance greatly.

It sound like you're familiar with the Pilot. That's a good assessment there! Doctors and Lawyers have the highest mortality rate in airplanes, due to the fact that they have the ability to buy more plane than their ability. All airplanes bite fools.

If you have weighed some of these factors and feel comfortable, tell him to enjoy his trip. :D And remember, the Pilot's ass is in that airplane too! B)

      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 .

      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.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Nausea

      Welcome to the forum.
