I pictured our World Vision sponsored child (from Bolivia, eight year-old boy) as little, skinny, olive skin, black longish hair. We finally got a pic of him. Heavy, light hair and skin...looks fairly affluent, actually. :huh: Hmmmmmm...

:o hmmmmmmmmmm indeed! a "heavy" World Vision child? Is he perhaps putting your good money toward expensive Air Jordans? or a new Ipod?

The yeti can go with Mary Kate . . . she just needs to borrow Ashley's hairy coat.

Yes Janet, universal EWWWWWWWWW. Tired of Lance switching and rejecting all of his blondes. and yes, we'll give the hairy coat to Mary Kate - Yeti won't know the difference.

Poor amanda......all of these last-minute additions to the seating chart....the girl will go mad. :huh:

My grandfather. I look like my grandfather...odd that you should know him

:huh:

:o why yes, it's all coming back to me.................... he's been hanging around gated communities in the Fresno area, hasn't he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

the gate/brick wall - - hard to tell - whether to keep its sterile residents enclosed.....or the

truly mad from getting in...............

p'raps a little of both....aside from cOeliac self-mutilating wanderer (shall I invite him in today? I MUST know his story) and barfing neighbors, everyone's the same here..........................drives me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

If it makes you feel any better . . . our first dog was a lumpy dog. One of the lumps was "funny". They did the needle biopsy and said it was OK. Then a little while later when it still wasn't acting right, they decided they needed to take it out. It was still OK - we just ended up having to pay for both procedures and who's to say that if they had left it in that it wouldn't have turned into something not good at all . . .

Janet - a candy hangover. OMG. I ahve an ersatz blue-coloUred ice cream hangover. ugh. It was really hard to hand out the ice cream, so I just ate it. :huh:

What's the big deal, just drop a scoop into each open bag. :rolleyes:

OK - so now I have a gross story to tell you. We have had a lot of poop conversations at our house. Did you go poop today? Was it all together or a bunch of little pieces? Did it float or sink? Now I get totally unsolicitated information yelled from the bathroom. MoM!! I went poop!!! It's green!! What does that mean???!! And I yell back: It means you ate blue ice cream yesterday!!

Oh....so...that isn't Susie in her avatar?

Speaking of avatars--I'm always so amused at how completely inaccurate my mental picture is of a person when I've never seen them. Richard, you are NOTHING like I pictured you. I've been seeing a big guy (like, linebacker-type), fair hair, regular features, perhaps a beard now that I think of it...I'm always way off. I pictured our World Vision sponsored child (from Bolivia, eight year-old boy) as little, skinny, olive skin, black longish hair. We finally got a pic of him. Heavy, light hair and skin...looks fairly affluent, actually. :huh: Hmmmmmm...

Linebacker! :P

I have those conversations here, too. Only, no one answers back. :lol:

...er, he's been dead since 1988, so that might confirm the zombie angle. The only way to tell for sure (aside from a cheek swab) is to offer him your car. If he drives on the extreme right of the road at a steady 25 mph it is likely gramps. (I think he still owes some folks a new mailbox)

Hey Richard, how long ago was that picture of you and RG taken? He was looking quite pale there. He must have already started his downhill slide.

I can't recall. He visited almost every day. Like clockwork. i think that particular picture was taken some happy hour at the local pub. The gang and i convinced him to join us for some brews and Emerald nuts. He probably looks pale relative to me and my George Hamilton tan. :rolleyes:

Oh, I remember it all too well. If you ever run into GH in your travels, and he offers to show you his tanning bed - JUST SAY NO! I'll leave it at that.

Do you have any brains in the fridge? Zombies LOVE brains :o Hot dogs will do if you don't have any brains on hand.

I think it may be time for you to strike up a conversation with Mr. Shufflufigus. Who knows, perhaps he's some wealthy old man in the early stages of dementia...it's never too late to meet Mr. Right... :huh:

Richard, the Witness Protection PrograMME gives you choices as to where you will relocate...Ottawa has been a wonderful new home for me. Can be cool, however...

Bob and Vince aren't together up there...Bob Goulet is in his OWN special place in Heaven, where the beautiful voices go. Ya know, on gossamer wings, cherubic bugling, all that stuff :)

I can see it now...Thriller in Susie's neighborhood...where's Vincent Price when you need him! :P

a confession: :ph34r:

I downloaded "Thriller" onto Ipod yesterday - put it on the "walking" playlist.....excellent walking tempo....it was my paean to Halloween...........

how embarassing.....

Other embarrassing songs on the Ipod:

"Hot in Herre" by - Nelly? (why IS it spelled/pronounced like that? is it his metal teef?)

"wannabe" - Spice Girls

"I want it That Way" - Backstreet Boys (reminds me of my niece, summer when she was 16 and lived with me)

"Rapper's Delight" - The Sugarhill Gang

"Hollaback Girl"

"gettin jiggy with it"

"Bust a Move" - who knows

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

and that's the entire list of my embarassing songs.

Good gawd, look at the time...........heading out now............

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly...

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly general immune markers if this keeps happening. Also, people with celiac disease can have reduced spleen function, or hyposplenism, which is one reason some celiac organizations recommend pneumococcal vaccination or making sure you are up to date on pneumonia-related vaccines. Since you are getting bronchitis, pneumonia, and frequent colds in your late 20s, I would not just brush it off, especially if symptoms are lingering after a week and a half. It may or may not be directly from celiac, but repeated respiratory infections are worth documenting and discussing with your doctor, and possibly with an allergist/immunologist or pulmonologist.
