2 days without new posts! How will we crown a new monarch?

I agree - that's 2 days too long!!!!

Well I had a lovely bit of afternoon delight (TMI?) with Clark while Tony was at the gym. Since we don't know how long the surgery will lay me up we've been like two teenagers. It's like being courted again. I get my meals in bed and quite a bit of pampering. Tony's pampering me also. He's baking gluten-free desserts. He made yummy brownies last night but he baked them in a cookie tray. We had just moved in here last year and he first developed a love for baking during the 2nd semester of school (with a girl he likes). He didn't know where I kept my 8X8 pan and didn't want to mess up the kitchen too badly (he baked them at 2AM to surprise me in the morning). The brownies were awesome. Half were chewy and half were like a chocolate chip cookie. He's doing all the things he knows I want him to do without being asked. This is big because he was fairly rebellious last year after being yanked from NJ and all his friends.

Just in case I'm offline for a while (surgery Tuesday AM) I wanted to thank you all for everything you've done. When I joined last October I was a mess. Living in a new state, sick as !@#$, finding new doctors (and medical conditions) and feeling really lonely when Clark wasn't here. You have all been a lifeline for me. I've learned (and continue to) so much, made amazing friends and above all laughed. You have become my family and I wub.gif you all!!!!

OK, enough soppiness! Time for me to be psilly. Went to see Paul Simon Wednesday night (great concert) and it seems as if ticket master recognizes Clark's credit card number and always seats us behind some strange brew of people. This concert was no different. The people in front of us (around my age) drank a lot of beer and alternately left for the bathroom. Every time one of them got up 5 others had to stand and let them pass. It was like the wave at a football stadium except that's not the way you want it at a concert (especially if you're vertically challenged). So after the first two times we're starting to get angry. By the third time I started laughing which spread to Clark and Tony. I laughed so hard I cried. Finally The upbeat calypso music (Diamonds on The Soles of Her Shoes) went into the Sound of Silence and all was well with the world. We have one concert left (U2) and then we are done until Clark finishes getting his Master's and gets a new job. U2 was a rescheduled concert from last year. We're using that as a vacation and will spend a week in NJ visiting friends. Tony is staying a week longer (he was already approved for the time off at work).

OK, I've chewed your eyes off enough. If I'm not online tomorrow (I might cook two or three dinners in advance) I'll catch up with you as soon as it's comfortable to sit at my computer. Our laptop died so I can't visit from bed or my couch.

Hugs,

Loey

2 days without new posts! How will we crown a new monarch?

Things are slow. Ah, for the busy days in January of 2009. Susie (DingoGirl) was crowned and then went away for a few days. When she came back, she was no longer queen. It took just two days to push her off the throne. :o

Well, not exactly avoided - it is a protective mechanism. You see, I start one job, create two more, so I figure I am farther ahead by doing nothing :blink:

Nowt much to tell, t'was marshalling for a local 5 mile race at the weekend.

My job was to write down their bib numbers as they some through the finish line. I did like the power the clipboard and pen gave me.... but came a cropper when 5 people all crossed the line altogether & I couldn't get their #'s down quick enough (cue 'clipboard laydee' running after said runners ph34r.gif)

Loey, wishing you all the best for Tuesday - hope to see you back online soon!!

Low! Whilst there for your concert, you may wanna spend some time driving along the NJ freeways checking for hitchhikers - - this made quite a story up here:

Gah! Psilly Psinging.. . .... . ..can we manage both simultaneously?

I agree that many o' those blokes over on the song thread have great psilly potential. . . . .think we need to initiate an active recruitment program post haste. In the dying pages of my reign, I will take care of it. . . . .. B)

Turning in my paper today. The instructions are: analyze one of the following papers - and it's worth 30% of our grade. :blink: I have no idea if I did what he wanted or not.

Only taking one class during summer (maybe) and it's a programming lab with no homework/tests/etc. And only two credits. I am soooo excited about having the summer off (well, except for the intensive stat modules at the end of June). Gonna clean up two years worth of overgrowth around the house. :D

Hey GFM! Welcome to the rabbit hole!

It is not required to read all the pages just jump right in. Perhaps tell us something psilly about yourself. If your not sure if your life is psilly, that's OK. Tell us somethings & someone will make it Psilly. :o

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)
