I have had FIVE glasses of chardonnay since 6 pm. Quite an evening. . . ..the first part of which was spent riveted to the big screen at my mom's retirement residence, in the fireside lounge, watching the Belmont Stakes. What a race! And what an audience...All of these ninety year-olds yelling and shouting, leaping up and down, rooting for their prospective horses, clutching their chests. . . . .. .gawd.. . . had my first three glasses there.. .. .

Annnnnd a couple o' glasses later, here I am.... . ...

Hmmm.. . . nothing to drunkenly add to the divorce discussion..... . . .think I would be very bad at it. I seem to do marriage well.....

Man, especially after all this wine... . . . . :lol:

Is there still wine? Or I am too late to the (?) party? It's been raining all day and I'm demoralized/restless as my plans had involved lots of garden time, which did not happen.

Woot! A soggy gardener has joined us! I've moved on to coffee and peanut butter cookies before heading out for a walk.

Sounds good! Coop & I will be right over. He prefers water.

Soggy gardener is now a soggy runner, who needs a shower followed by tea and cookies!

(my secret moniker... hmmm... dare I reveal the prosaic fact that was the e-mail assigned by my undergrad? I can remember it, and it's never taken as a username.)

Emily, btw, I love your dog pic. I grew up with standard poodles and am very fond of them.

Extra cookies for him? And no slippery floors?

How will he handle all the farms full of animals on the walk?

He ususally ignores them or wags his tail at other animals. He has been trying to be friends with the rabbits this week. He doesn't chase, just trots slowly with tail wagging - head down. Got excited when Foxy was in the yard- seemed to think she was a dog here to play.

One of my kids uses his HS id number for passwords cause its easy to remember.

Excellent. We'll be greeting llamas, chickens, a donkey or two, couple cows, some horses, lots of slugs, and a few dogs taking their owners out for a run.

Love seeing the runner dogs. At the beginning they're all excited and happy to be going out, and when you pass them again at the end of their run heads are down, paws dragging, they keep glancing up at dad with that "you can't be serious" look as they try to calculate how much farther it is to home.

Flash mob was more like a flash 'group' :rolleyes: , but that's OK. It was fun. We continued to dance throughout the afternoon for 3 hours. Only problem was that we were directly under a skylight. Lots of sweaty bodys. Nothing like being spun around, hair flying, only to have it come back into your own face with someone elses sweat on it <_<

Hey! Great workout, Leeeesargh! Something you love to do, and your heart rate's way up - - superb. What a fun way to exchange sweat!

All right, sb2178.. . . . ...the unofficial edict around here is that we need your real name, or a close proximity, so that we can rightly butcher it and make it psilly. Kherrighnne, Jyaghnutt, Jyesssss, Low, leeeesargh, Gnick, Soooooozle, etc.

Suppose we could just sillify your forum name, but it somehow isn't quite as funny.

......sssssb21*%7^88... . . . ...

Nope. Need yer real name.. . ...

One of my kids uses his HS id number for passwords cause its easy to remember.

I used to use my bra size, but through the years I kept having to change it, so I gave up on that approach. . . .....as I recall, twenty years ago I was known as 34dd... . . ..after both my kids were born I had to change it to 36c.. . . ....crap, I HATE my password now that I'm into my forties. <_<

Dear gawd, would LOVE this. Big poodles just go. And go. And go. I run, they run. I keep running. They're running. I finish 5k. Their look is more, "you can't be serious -- that's it??"

Hmmmmmmm........I'm not so sure about that. I can still understand her.

:lol: Yes...I was hoping for a few drunken Jyessss postings.. .. . .

This is so true! We also need a name for Glutenfreemanna. If they do not care to share a first name choice, I, the Psilly Queen, will be happy to bestow names upon them.

Taking suggestions....

I'm assuming both are females so:

Eunice

Moon Unit

Gaga

Wido

Latrine

So true. Although, when babysitting kids of people with large energetic dogs, it was always helpful hearing that they'd had the dog out for a 10 mile run!

One of these days I'll challenge my keyboard hogging cat with a running dog... She'd have no problem keeping a pup in line.

How magnanimous of you to make suggestions. If you must have a name besides Manna, y'all can call me Irene. Will that one be sufficient butchering material? :D

I'm sure they can. Have you seen the ways they mangle "Karen"?

I though perhaps your name was pronounced differently than the standard "Karen". With the g added I had made it "Car-Eng-Gee" said really fast in my mind. :lol:

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.  
    • klmgarland
      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
