......and me FIL. He castrates his dogs himself :ph34r:

Me uncle, the politician, raises lambs for meat. He castrates those himself after they're born with strong rubberbands. You have to watch out if yer walking thru the pasture in spring, might step on 'em :unsure:

If he really wanted to kill himself, he picked the wrong place to do it :rolleyes:

Word on the street right now is that he stood outside the ER doors, lit up and then ran inside to the triage desk where they all ran for extinguishers to put him out. It is a non-smoking hospital after all... :ph34r:

How bout the Kinks song Lola L o l a Lola.

Cannae hear that song wifout thinking of Wierd Al. Cola, C O L A, cola :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Now that's scary. Glad you didn't see it. Could your runny eyes still have something to do with that even if the air smells clean?

Nope, started in the car on the way in. Had a bloody nose too....

Low-ihss! That little emoticon signifies the desire to stand in front of a net and block pucks, as it looks very like my daughter's face when she stands in full helmeted and padded regalia, staring down the opposing forward as she comes screaming down the ice toward her.. . . .... . :rolleyes:

Actually, it really DOES look like her li'l face.. . . . . ....! :lol:

Also looks like my widdle Maxie all dressed up in his ninja costume :ph34r:

Hey.. . . . . . ....is he single? Think he and my MIL might be a match made in heaven. . . . . ..

However, MIL swerves to avoid pedestrians and animals, and has been unsuccessful on occasion. At least it has never been while she was driving MY car. She has only smashed into the kids' bikes, our big lamp-post, DH's car and many snowbanks while in my vehicle... . . . . ..no people as yet, so I am considered pretty fortunate. :huh:<_<

I've never killed an animal (or hit one in a road). We almost hit a tree during a trip to Sedona to avoid hitting a coyote. Got a great photo of the coyote.

I'm feeling guilty about the rabbit but my husband was really excited when he came home and I told him what I made for dinner. It was a large part of his childhood. He was there as a toddler for a few years and then his mother sent him there to go to school at a missionary while she was getting a divorce (from 11-14). He lived at the missionary but stayed with family friends on the weekend and rabbit was was a treat because they were poor and lived on paella and bread. I was lucky enough to go there twice. Once when I was pregnant with my son and then when our son was 5. Kindest people in the world. I didn't speak a lick of spanish and had to pantomime everything (my hubby got frustrated translating).

OK, time to fold my last load of laundry (3rd of the day) and then feed him the stew.

Thanks for helping me feel less guilty. I like it here too much to offend anyone. I did discover that whatever I put in the stew does not sit well with me (it tasted SO good) but caused me a lot of pain. I tried to only add food that weren't known triggers but I must have missed something. Back to rice, veggies and eggs. Stand stand the smell or taste of chicken right now. He's going to have a lot of it to eat!

I also SO wish I could have seen Obama with you. When Clinton was in office my brother was able to get us into the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Two years ago our son went to the OSS Dinner and the Cocktail Hour for the White House Correspondent's Dinner (he was a junior in HS and was so proud that he took the train there alone both weekends). They would have normally been able to get him into the dinner but because so many people wanted to see Obama they only had tickets for the cocktail party. Tony (my son) actually enjoyed the OSS dinner more. The food was the best part of it. He said it was the best Filet Mignon he ever ate and they had amazing duck rolls.

He met General Petrakis and a retired General was at the same table and had Tony do as many pushups as he could (in his tuxedo). He tried to recruit him.

OK, time to watch a movie with my hubby. "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown"It's in Spanish but it's very good (if you don't mind reading a movie).

Have a great nite everyone. I'll be back online tomorrow or Sunday. My son called and said that a group of parents are going out to dinner with the kids at his school tomorrow night and he wants us to come. Pleasant surprise because he's been pretty aloof and independent. Changed my whole day around so we can do it.

Loey biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif Happy that I'm seeing my son two weekends in a row!!!

P.S. I was trying to post pics of my son with Colin Powell and Wolf Blitzer. How do you do that?

You have to put them on some accessible site like flikr or facebook, then copy the location and paste it in the photo box.

I don't have either of those accounts. You'll just have to take my word for it that he's a handsome kid.

I'd love him to hook up with Emma Watson (from Harry Potter) at school. I think I mentioned he saw her on campus and said she was even more gorgeous in person. I asked him if he said hello and he replied "Mooom, she doesn't need people bothering her. She's there to go to school. Enough people bother her as it is!" I thought that was pretty sensitive for an 18 year old boy with raging hormones.

He LOVED it!!! It was nice to cook him something special because I haven't been cooking as frequently since I had the flare (that's what I call it when the intense pain comes back). I still can't believe I have to wait another 3 weeks for the next procedure. I moved to a REALLY small town. It's beautiful here but the hospital is really tiny. At least I have this forum to help me and keep me laughing and learning.

I also just signed up for a painting class that meets once a week at an art studio. That should provide some really funny stories here. I'm great with beading and a lot of other crafts but I've never picked up a paint brush. I could always give whatever I paint to someone I don' like for Xmas if it doesn't turn out well. LOL It's a month by month commitment and she also teaches Fimo Clay which I suck at. Maybe I'll even meet some nice people at the class. It's lonely to be in a new town and state and be sick and housebound most of the time.

Loey biggrin.gif

P.S. I also met a family at the local Farmer's Market that home school the children and I noticed the girl (3rd grade) was using her fingers to count change. Her brother told me she was dyslexic. I saw the mother yesterday and offered to tutor her for free one day a week and would only ask for a letter of recommendation.

For sure, cuz I'd probably hit on her if I saw her too, she's adorable! :P

I'm fine with it. My husband likes venison.

Never had Venison. What does it taste like? I've hear it's good for you. I watch Gordon Ramsey's F Word and he cooks with it a lot. I tend to watch a lot of cooking shows since that's the only way I can enjoy foods i can't eat.

. Halloooooo, Dyckseigh!

I forgot to say high before either.

I've never killed an animal (or hit one in a road).

I have - dozens of em in fact. Driving back to CA from MN, through Wyoming. My turn at the wheel, Clay asleep having filled his tummy w/ dinner in Laramie, beyoutiphul landscape with the first fall of light snow and lovely sunset, and then the dark came :ph34r: :ph34r:. The speedometer on the car was broke, I80 was only two lanes through there at the time, and there was nothing out there on the road except me, the truckers and the jackrabbits :unsure: I was a fairly new driver, (really! late bloomer!) had no idea how fast I was going (or not going). So these @/&*^ truckers and I got into this kind of duel on the highway. They would go roaring past me on the flat, almost blowin me offin the road, and then I would have to pass them on the upgrades, risking life and limb. And all the while, there were these durned jackrabbits, just sitting there in the middle of the road with that headlighty look. And I said, danged if I's goin to swurve to avoid these stoopid critters and further risk life and limb, so every so often, BOOM!, there goes anuvver jackrabbit. And ya know what? I didn't even feel gillty about it neither :P I was just grippin the wheel and hangin on. And Clay stayed asleep till I woke him on the outskirts of SLC and said I weren't driving into the city, and we missed all the motels and found this scrungy one what had bedbugs :blink: so we got two or three hours of nonsleep and then hit the road again :rolleyes: Ah, the joys of highway travel. Stay tuned for the next episode entitled "The Agonies of Scrunching Yerself into an airline seat for 13 hours"

Loughie honey, you didn't offend anyone wif the rabbit :D;)

Hope yer hubby enjoys his dinner :)

Low-hiss, you can come to my house and cook rabbit anytime. For a country overrun with bluddy rabbits it's almost impossible to find one in the store because no one can raise em without swearing on a stack of bibles that they won't be released into the wild, or summit like that. And rabbit and goat is about all I ate in Italy - even then I wasn't eating pasta or gelato :(

OK, time to watch a movie with my hubby. "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown"It's in Spanish but it's very good (if you don't mind reading a movie).

That is my all-time favorite movie!! It is heelaryus!!!

Labour Weekend here, so one is forbidden to work. Might go to the local fair tomorrow and today I am going to make some florentines for my sister's visit - she adores them and I found a recipe in the food section of the paper. Of course because of the quake there are no dried cranberries in the stores so I had to get blueberries and cherries. Will let you know how they turn out.

Wishin' I could have rabbit for dinner :P

This past weekend we travelled to my cousin's place. The whole extended family was there, and my oldest cousin Ted owns a very successful small-town diner. It is successful because he prepares and serves very eclectic dishes. He prepared the entire dinner for 20 of us on the Saturday night. We were served barbequed kangaroo, emu and beefalo (buffalo and beef hybrid). He also roasted bear and caribou.

NONE of it tasted like chicken! :)

It is a very gamey, very bloody meat. My father is a hunter too and he always soaked his venison in salt water to get rid of some of the gamey-ness.

I had to stop eating it cause it made me run to the bathroom too much.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
