What a little champion!! Hope he learns to do it when the sun comes up (and NOT before) :P Of course, the hours you keep that probably doesn't make much difference :rolleyes:

Hey Psilies! Mulberry IS one adorable chicken.

I'm just stopping by quickly as I'm in the midst of preparing for my move next week. Just needed to blow off some steam! What is it with utility companies trying to up the bills when you move? All I want to do is transfer everything to the new address without a rate increase. I understand there may be disconenct or connection fees but I'm moving within the same city. My monthly rate should stay the same. My internet company rep pissed me off when they said the rates for the same service would be going up by $10 a month for my new location. I happen to live in an area that has more than one internet company and I knew the competition was offering a lower rate so I told them I would be going with the other company then and to cancel! Argh!! I'm still so mad! I was really hoping that when I said I wanted to cancel they would offer me a better rate (they are offering a lower rate for people signing up online right now and I even pointed that out) or let me keep my same rate. That has always happened in the past when I threaten to cancel a service. But she just said, "sorry to see you go" and gave me a cancelation number. Now I'm going to have to either sign up with the other company or re-sign up online with my same company at the new address to get the discounted rate. Why do they have to make everything so complicated? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Gotta go try to get a hold of the water company for the new place next. I sat on hold with the "we are experiencing a high volume of calls, your call will be answered in the order it was recieved...blah...blah..blah" message for about 30 minutes and then gave up and decided to try later. Wish I could just do the water online but I can't find anyway to do that on the website.

So if y'all don't hear from me for a while It's probably because we don't have internet at the new place and I'm too busy hauling water from the river and boiling it for drinking. :lol:

So my mom is in the hospital. She'll be fine. She had alot of fluid retention in her legs. She probably waited too long to tell the doc. This is a different hospital then she was in before. She is supposed to be on a low fat low sodium diet. In the previous hospital that would have meant they wouldn't give her a pack of salt. When I called to order her dinner, they told me she couldn't have some things because of her diet. All Hell will break loose when she realizes she can't have a hamburger for lunch tomorrow!

:ph34r:

Sorry to hear your mom was in the hospital! I hope you were able to smuggle a burger into her to prevent hell from breaking loose. If not, maybe that's why I'm having such trouble with the utility companies? :lol:

She was actually happy with the lunch after all. She had either salmon or tilapia and it was good!

Perhaps you can send smoke signals? Is there a Celiac forum using smoke signals?

You'll have to get a grill for smoke signals!

Wow! Maybe I just need your mom to call my utility companies for me and threaten to break hell loose on them. :lol: Glad it went well and hope she's feeling better now. I think lighting fires for a smoke signal may be against the HOA rules at the new place. :ph34r: Would also be hard for you to see since we are getting lots of smoke here already from the wild fires in North Carolina. :blink: Maybe I should invest in carrier pigeons or something?

Oh, excellent idea! Does Mulberry fly? My handwriting IS like chickscratch so if she's not up to flying I can just mail my posts for her to peck out on the computer. :lol:

Well, Whewwwwwwwwwwww....... . . ...((((((((((groaning and falling on hotel bed)))))))))... . . . . ...

We've seen Abe, Ben, Thomas J., JFK and Jackie, Holocaust survivors, snipers on Obama's roof......

Youse Yanks really know how to put together a national capitol. 'Tis magnificent: regal, clean, welcoming, bustling.......it is important for all to see this city, methinks. :)

Now everyone must come north and check out Canada's city of government........Tag! You're all it!

I wish we could have organized a Psilly Psummit........:(.....next time, and when I'm a little further south.....or west?... . . . ...

I've been there! I liked it, mostly because my northern relatives fed me junk food, but that was also where I learned to not take my mother to a museum and expect her to leave a room without reading aaalllll the words. Second grade, so it's been a while.

And that is an adorable chicken, for the nth time.

First rainy day with the wee chickies in their new pen. Those adorable feathered feet turn into little balls of mud. :o:lol:

Sweetie-pie is on vacation and I won't be seeing him for three weeks (the longest time ever not seeing each other!).

I was thinking this was a good thing because he's not the most expressive guy around, and if he really wasn't thrilled with me, this would give him a chance to figure it out. He just called to say how much fun he wasn't having and how much better everything would be if I were there.... :) Guess it's all ok... :)

Forgot to tell ya'll this : On the rare occasion where we find ourselves at a restaurant for a family dinner, I now always order my chicken filet as "my usual civckeb and rice".

I now have the kids referring to chickens as civckebs, as well. :lol:

I believe it is giving both Sophie and Jack some real street cred.

At the rate of posting on this thread, I am settling in for a good long reign. I am thinking about taxing the peasants.

Hey....I got a kid going to an out- of -state college! Subjects buying fancy chickens and vacations on foreign countries!

Hey all . . . I'm back from North Carolina . . . what happened? Did all hell break loose because apparently it's hotter 'n hell here and no rain. Two trees that were transferred last fall died while we were gone. OK, they were in the process of dying when we left but I couldn't believe how quick they completely browned in the last 9 days. Problee gonna have to do sumptin 'bout that.

We got home about 6 (after driving 9.5 hours) . . . then went to the 7:10 showing of Harry Potter.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @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.

      By klmgarland · Posted

      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!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
