Stay away from haunted houses this weekend.

We have a nice lady ghost in our house now. She really likes my daughter and seems to tease both kids. She freaked the crap out of my son though. I was in the room when it happened. He was on the floor playing and he reached forward to grab another pillow and the pillow flipped over away from him. I've never seen him move so fast in my life! She seems to have left him alone since. She calls my dd's name frequently. It doesn't bother dd, she just always comes in the kitchen and says "What?"

I say, "What, What??"

She says, "You called me..."

I say, "Nope"

She says, "Hmmmm, OK" Then goes about her business.

The house I lived in from kindergarten-3rd grade was so freakily haunted that my mom had our priest come check it out. He managed to release the 'spirit(s)' that day. The crazy thing was that we never told anyone about the stuff that happened there, didn't want people to think we were crazy, but the neighbors above our house asked my mom a few days later if something happened on this certain day at this certain time.... Mom asked why and they said that they were sitting out on their front porch and they heard this wailing sound that appeared to be coming from our house then moved upwards, past their house, up into the 'sky' Said it sounded like children crying...

Spooky!

When my mom was rehabbing and in a nursing home, I think my dad was enjoying his time home alone.

My mom was the same way.. . ..she'd spend the day at the hospital with my dad, then go back to their apartment and insist on being by herself for the evening and overnight.

I think that is when she began experimenting with the Sharpies.. . . . ...

We have a nice lady ghost in our house now.

OMG.. . ..your ghost stories absolutely fascinate and captivate me, Rah-shyelllle. The perfectly written "hello" (was that the word?) in the steam on your shower door. . . . .... ...(((((((goooooosebumps))))))). . . . . . . . ...:unsure:

Glad to hear it's a nice ghost. The Exorcist is Souperman's favorite movie. I can't even count the number of times we've watched it. We visited the house in Georgetown and walked down the stairs. I was a lot younger and healthier then - thankfully no Ataxia yet.

Looks like BIL is having annual Halloween party Sat. Must have costumes. Last 2 years I went as a " pretty" witch. Previous I went as Sally & hub went as Jack Skeleton.

I want an easy, comfy costume for an overweight, out of shape older woman. One of the football moms needs a costume, too. ( different party, lady hosting hates my hub cause he thinks he is one of the ones responsible for his getting fired - can't blame himself and his corruption).. We thought we might go as housewives from this area. Workout clothes and lots of jewelry and makeup and fixed hair. I had a neighbor who used to mow her lawn in pressed jeans or khaki shorts, cute top, low heels and a beautiful silver bead necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. I'm afraid they won't think that is much of an effort. I can't eat all the delicious food, I should at least be comfy. Good thing is BIL is a huge hard cider fan & wife likes wine.

I cpuld wear my Top Chef jacket and get some scrub pants with a food pattern. It's a bit hot, temperature wise but easy to wear. What should hub be? Padma? A chef's knife? :)

Heard one at the bus stop . . . wear pink sweats and tie a shoe to the top of yer head . . . then you're bubble gum stuck to the bottom of a shoe. Hub could walk around chewing big wads of gum and blowing bubbles. If he wanted to be more authentic, he could actually spit his gum out on the floor of your BIL's house and stick some under the coffee table and various other pieces of furniture.

Like the cane idea! We had a couple of blind refs a few weeks ago.

Do you think the bubble gum goes with beer? Cause if it interfers with the beer....

I'm taking the easy weigh out and have a pirate mask (will cover the shiner if it's not totally gone) and comes with little lady GaGa like finger gloves and a choker. I have a really cool flapper costume I used to wear when Zuperman & I used to go to parties (as well as many costumes from when my 18 year old was growing up). Wish I could send them through osmosis.

You could go as a boxer! (like Muhamed Ali not the doggy)

Or tell people you had a face lift. I hear they bruise and swell for a while.

I'm thinking Top Chef. I have a white chef coat that says "Top Chef Karen". would be easy and comfortable. Maybe husband could wear a meat suit. :unsure: I wonder where I could find a lobster bib. He could be the diner. He could wear a white shirt and black or khaki pants and be the waiter. My sewing machine is perpetually broken or I could make a little waiter apron. HMMM.. Then if I carry around a plate of food I brought with me, the costume is my cover.

I'm F :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: ing brillant! (that's for Russells' MIL - See MIL, even the people she associates with are bad).

We had a world class boy gymnist (SP?) at our high school. Guy was so impressed with his physique he couldn't keep his shirt on. Between classes, would take off his shirt and put it back on 3 minutes later when the next class started.

That's AWESOME!!! Good Idear ;)

You have nooooooo idea how bad that guy really turned out to be. Then he actually 'friended' me on FB last year. I shot a message back to him saying, 'Are you f'ing serious?! NOT a good idea!' Plus, if my hub ever found him....... bad idea!!! Buuuuuut, nothing 2 years of therapy couldn't cure :rolleyes:

MIL knows all about it too. That was one of our bonding moments years ago. She was also sexually assaulted as a teen. Odd that that was one of the major things we had in common :blink:

Hey! Is the bruise starting to look like something or someone? Michael Jackson, perhaps, or, after a couple of days, Louis Armstrong in full trumpet-blow? Around here you must report any changes to bruises, what/who it is currently resembling......... :rolleyes:

YES! Go as Joan Rivers!

My DD wears a jill during hockey - - goes right where a jock goes for guys, but it is thick cloth that straps around the area. Not nearly as terrifying. Don't suppose Kherrighnne could talk her DS into switching to one o' these. . .. . .. . ...<_<

I can't get him to take his shirt off anywhere outside of home--Like doing quick changes at Target to try on shirts.... Not that I try to get my 5 year old to strip :lol: But at home its a different story. He wears his pajama tops open like Hugh Heffner :lol::lol:

I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
