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)

Thanks, Lisa! The pilot is a doctor! It will only be the 2 of them and 2 Weed Whackers (hand held string trimmers). They are going to clear an area where he has his sail boat, so the kids can camp. This might not happen as they are now calling for storms Sunday.

As the mom of 2 men - Yup! Since about the age of 9, "Let me lift that, carry that, etc" They love to show how strong they are.

Actually string trimmers are used alot around here to cut down the pot that grows wild.

Yup. I didn't feel like mentioning that I was the one who took the flat off, tossed it into the truck (without getting dirty) and put the spare on in the first place. There's a distinct difference between 'can' and 'want to'.

No. It grows in ditches and along fences. I understand it isn't a high quality version. It looks pretty tho.

My post disappeared! I guess I didn't push the right button or my computer is deleting my boring posts.

The guys decided to drive down instead of fly because we are having pop up storms. Will take 2 hours to drive vs. 1/2 hour to fly.

He looks good! I tried the "waiting a respectable time" before getting a new dog and it was the saddest 3 months ever. Couldn't wait any longer as M was having real problems without a dog. Had his first grade friends telling me he was always sad about Cali. This last time I waited 2 weeks, because it was the holidays, then starting looking for Cooper.

I'm Back!!!! . . . and hopefully staying put for a while!!

I have caught up on the thread and of course can't remember what all I had to say, but here is some of it . . .

Glad yer back home Patti!!

Holy Crap Leesuh!!! Enough with the motorcycle accidents!!! Hope you heal quickly.

Em, tis a cute pooch . . . and he needs a home!!

Smackl's anesthesiologist for his tonsilectomy was named Dr. Pain (actually not sure if that is the spelling, but that's the pronunciation). My eye doc (20 years ago) was Dr. Glassman. My Dentist should have been a dermatologist . . . his name was Dr. Flesch.

Glad Em and Will and Lisa and Chris got to meet up in Chicago . . . sorry I had to miss it. I DID get to meet LisaB and her daughter. :D She generously treated me to lunch and threw in some fresh produce to take back to the beach house. Hubby had my camera but Lisa's daughter took a pic for us . . . I'll post when I get it.

Now . . . onto new bidness . . . no one said hello to "sa" . . . (is this sa's first post on the silly thread or did I miss one?) . . . anyways, welcome Sa and you need to give us a first name or nickname or sumptin cuz I can't just keep calling you Sa . . . perhaps I'll call you Thirty-Seven.

I live in Greencastle...trust me, there is nothing green around here at the moment, nor do I live in a castle. laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

If you worked your muscles really hard,and they are sore, they are holding water (swollen, just like anything else that hurts). When they heal (2-3 days) they'll shrink down.

I believe this is what has happened to me!!!! Sitting out on the beach, I must have worked my muscles too hard and now they are holding strawberry daquaris pina coladas screwdrivers water. Yeah, that must be it . . . don't know any other reason why I would have gained 5 pounds . . . oh, I did finish off the chex mix :ph34r:

It's that Chex mix! It seems healthy and low calorie & it is. But... Who can eat 1 serving? You must eat the whole bowl or in my case the pan as it comes out of the oven!

Welcome back, Jyaghnutt! Glad there was another mini-psummit happening elsewhere. I, as well, gained 5 lbs. or thereabouts whilst away... . .how does that happen? Alcohol just should not count, calorically. I believe that this is my first Official Edict:

No new weight shall be garnered by the citizens of Psillyville from the consumption of any and all alcoholic libation.

:rolleyes:

Our angel is back in Joisey!! :)

Leeeesargh! Great news on the liability. A load off your mind, to be sure. And you`re getting cleaned up and dressed whilst trussed up like I saw you? Heavens. .. .. ... ..Don't overdo it,. girl!

I must say, that wide elastic support belt thang you are wearing is very slimming and flattering... . . . . Recovery Chic! ;)

Well, that gorgeous wee pup was sold to another family that got to 'im before I could. :( Ah, well.. .. . . .I know that I am ready to search, now.

You need to be grain-free because we do cross react the other proteins- how lovely. Quinoa is 99% similar to the protein in gluten. Period cramps cease on a grain free diet.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By suek54 · Posted

      Hi Ginger38,  Huge sympathies, so very hard to do alone. Are there any groups locally where you could meet others face to face to share your struggles and to encourage each other with diet? I'm a foodie too and love baking. I found it very hard facing the fact that I could never again eat homemade bread still warm from the oven or cakes or pastry. I tried a few gluten free recipes but they were pretty miserable by comparison and I gave up. Lately however I have gone back to it and am finding a few recipes which are pretty good to eat and enjoyable to make. . (For what its worth, I  think the secret is finding a good general purpose gluten free flour and embracing the use of xanthem gum) If you can find just one gluten free receipe you can make and enjoy, it might just help you break out of the struggle you are in?  Sometimes though, you simply have to ask for help to get you through the tough times...a friend, a neighbour, a doctor, a work colleague? I hope you find someone to help. Sue

      I never felt that it was hard, gluten feels like a rock in my stomach and everyone else's.    Gluten free is probably not good enough. You need to be grain-free because we do cross react  the other proteins- how lovely. Quinoa is 99% similar to the protein in gluten. Period cramps cease on a grain free diet.  You can try Pamela's Baking mix, it really is GOOD and has almond flour in it. Whole Foods has Italian made, gluten pasta. I am 100% certain I react to most grain based on my brain function when I eat any grain.  You can safely have white rice and tapioca, I make pizza and bread rolls like Red Lobster from that combo. If you really want to know what is safe for you, you can use Dr Vojani's lab in Phoenix. Cyrex Labs. I think you need a celiac partner who is already gluten free to help you. Every time you cheat you are setting your immune system up for a six-month attack.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Prom363 · Posted

      I know it's really hard to be gluten free. When I first started out, IT WAS SO HARD. I eventually had to start telling myself that I was "allergic". Even though I'm not, gluten affects my body negatively. If you're allergic, you stay completely away. I always have my "safe" foods. Options that I always know where I can eat or what I can make that are easy and delicious. If I don't plan ahead, that's when I'm super tempted to go off track. Texas roadhouse rolls used to ALWAYS make me chance it and then they would make me so sick. I eventually had to tell myself, you are allergic. That is something you cannot have. It really helped me. I hope this helps! Have you ever tried baking with almond flour? It may take some trial and error but I've had some great muffins and banana bread from almond flour that may help with your blood sugar.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I don't know how to even begin this or what topic to post this under, so feel free to move it if need be, but I just need a place where I can be honest and I need to vent to people who can relate and who can hopefully inspire me to get back on the right track with my life. This whole gluten / celiac/ testing etc has been nothing but an uphill battle and struggle for me since it began. When I went gluten free years back, it was the hardest thing I ever did, and I did it on my own without much help or guidance aside from this group. I am a foodie and a carb lover and a baker and having to give up so many foods that brought me so much happiness was so incredibly hard for me, but I eventually did it. Even when people encouraged me to have just a little or cheat here and there I didn't give in.  I have since developed uncontrolled diabetes which has complicated all this to say the very least, because none of the breads, flours or replacement foods, that actually taste semi good are diabetic friendly (at least not for me). So I have struggled with eating gluten off and on in the form of crackers and breads and low carb keto foods, even though I know I shouldn't. I do good for a while and then I completely lose control again and somehow justify it in my mind.  Inevitably because of my struggles, I was really concerned about going back on gluten (full time) for the gluten challenge, I mean it gave me an excuse to party hard, and be miserable while doing so, but I was afraid once I did that challenge for 8-10 weeks that I would never be able to give the gluten back up again. And that is exactly where I am sitting at as we speak. It has been an on again off again roller coaster ride of no gluten, gluten, little gluten, no gluten, lots of gluten etc.  I go from buying small loaves of bread and keto tortillas and buns to whole wheat buns and pasta - justifying it somewhat because it is better for my blood sugar issues and that is what is most important. I binge eat some of the foods and then I feel horribly guilty for eating it and then I end up throwing all the gluten food away in a desperate attempt to stop the madness. Then I restart the process all over again at some point.  My joints ache. My stomach is constantly sour. I walk around like I have terrible arthritis or something. My hands are swelling terribly, sometimes I can't even make a fist. I am experiencing numbness and tingling in my hands and weird things with numbness and tightness in my face as well. I am dropping things constantly. I am forgetting lots of things and struggle to recall things. I can't focus on my work. I am having nightmares. I am wanting to sleep all the time. I am bloated and sometimes have diarrhea and nausea, but then other times I am horribly constipated. My  post herpetic neuralgia issues from shingles are much worse now and overall I am just so irritable and angry and emotionally numb.   I know for some it is a simple choice, but I can't be alone in this struggle. Thanks for letting me getting all this out there. I hope someone can scare or encourage some sense into me. It is kind of insane what I do to myself. And I am just tired of dealing with all the food issues and health issues
