Her favorite soup isn't potato is it? That would be really spooky.

Its hard on FB because I feel I have to be brief. I know girls are different than boys but I think some things translate. About 3rd or 4th grade, my kids wanted more say in thier lives.

I'm totally wif ya. I think I really do a good job about picking my battles with them and letting certain things slide. I am a bit of a neat freak, but as far as their rooms and playroom go, I'm not too much of a stickler. I am very strict about homework though. She gets her homework pkt on Monday and all is due by Friday, so we figure out what can be done each night so that she's not overwhelmed or working on it for hours on end. If she wants to work ahead, that's fine with me.

I try to be respectful to lead as example and in turn, I expect them to do the same. We all have bad days, and I totally understand that. If she had asked me to stay up later without thowing a massive tantrum, like it was her right to stay up if she wanted to, I may have made a different decision, but I had to say no. I also try to be very consistant with punishment, but make compromises if possible. Like last night--'no you may not stay up because of your behavior, but if you can get everything done tomorrow night, I'll give you an extra half an hour then' If that's not good enough for her, then I will rescend my offer and go from there. I think normally I'm pretty fair. Normally, she doesn't act like a bat outta hell either :blink::lol:

Slowly getting better :)

Physical Therapy is now twice a week, but I'm also trying to get in Zumba twice a week. Went out on our boat for the first time in 2 years, but stayed in the boat, pulling Brian around on the knee board and making sure he gets around on the boat and getting back IN the boat without hurting himself :ph34r:

I can hail a taxi, show disapproval with hands on hips (well, with a little effort), but can't point to that thing back there. I can sign 'a long time ago', but not 'boss'. I still can't hook my bra like normal people or SCRATCH THAT ITCH NEAR MY RIGHT SHOULDER BLADE!!! :angry:

If that's not good enough, I'm prepared to make you another offer. 1/2 hr earlier? Hub does that to the boys. I need 30 minutes of help with the yard work. 20 minutes, Dad? Ok 45!

OK, now I'm asking dating advice from people who have been married since time began, but you are the most knowledgeable group of people I know so....

When we said goodbye last night he said something about getting together again soon. I emailed him today just saying thank you and how much fun it was and how I hoped we could swap travel stories again soon. He replied with 'yes, let's do this again soon'.

Now, does this mean I'm supposed to propose a time and place? Or do I wait and let him pursue? I never did understand these rules. :huh:

He probably doesn't either. :P

Keeping in mind that I have been married 25 years as of Oct 5, this is what I would probably do. You will have to judge if he seemed interested at the dinner. If you think he is, I would wait 3-4 days, maybe a week then suggest a date. Is there something you could ask him to do with you like go to a play or art fair?

If you don't hear from the guy, time to move on....she says out of the blue. B)

You mean if they argue on time, like working 20 min instead of dad's proposed time of 30, then he makes them work for 45?! That's AWESOME!!!

Max does that with cookies--"Mom, can I have 5 cookies?" "No Max, how about 2?" With a twinkle in his eye, he looks at me with sad eyes, "OK, I guess 2 is ok...." Then runs off happily :lol::lol:

Yeah, I might have to agree.... Seen the movie 'He's Just Not That Into You?"...

I haven't, but it makes sense. And I'd like to be chaste chased anyway.

Also works like this: you can have $30 for new football gloves. Anything more, you put in the money. Can I have $40? OK, $25.

A side note is that if you cannot reasonably get the gloves for less than $45, ask Dad to go look at them with you. When he sees this, he will up the amount but not for the $90 gloves.

Outsmarting children can be exhausting! :lol:

It's funny. It follows a bunch of different dating people in this new technology age. There's a lot of bluntness going on, which I wish my friends had done for me when I was dating. Woulda saved me a TON of time and tears :rolleyes:

Outsmarting children can be exhausting! :lol:

And fun!!! I'm getting more creative by the day!

Max didn't want to come home from daycare yesterday so I made this elaborate plan for him on how he could stay at the school, where he could sleep, what he could eat... He just looked at me like I was crazy. I asked him if I could have a hug good-bye which confused him even more. Finally, when I was walking away telling him to 'have fun', he ran after me, still looking at me like I was crazy ;)

Baby steps, Leesiguh :rolleyes: Glad to hear things are slowly improving.

Or do I wait and let him pursue?

Yep--and I wouldn't count him out just yet. Everyone has their own pace ;)

Keep in mind that I haven't dated since 1974 B)

Shroomie! Definitely wear the brown pants--better be safe than sorry :lol: Hope all goes smoothly and comfortably :)

OMG!!! I want him! or her?

Does the wee one have a name yet?

Yes, I would wait to hear from him, but not for too long. Put on your Nikes, get ready for the chase, but be prepared to untie them, throw them off and continue along the dating path, barefoot and ready for new encounters with fellow runners...

Don't think you'll need to be sporting brown pants at any point... . . .. .. ..:unsure:At least, I HOPE not.......

Shroooomie's getting a new toof! Gawd, don't think YOU'LL need brown pants, just a pair with mighty deep pockets. I still canna believe what I hadda pay for my implant (tooth, not breast).. . . . . . ..man, I paid that oral surgeon's rent for a few months, to be sure.... :blink::angry:

A Leeeesargh sighting! Hope you're scratching everywhere soon! ;)

I don't know what the dating rules are nowadays, but if you want to be persued, wait it out. You've let him know you're interested in another date. The ball is in his court. I gotta feelin he'll come through ;)

Hi Lisa!!!!

Long time no see!

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
    • knitty kitty
      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
