I usually say "As long as they don't use it on someone else." or "Keep your haircare to yourself!"

Applies to a couple of boys as well as the girls.

Now I have a parent that has told a bunch of the other parents that there is no cost to them for the kids to travel with the team. If a random someone decides the kids don't have to buy thier own food, does that make it so?

I'm going to hide in a hole, now. :ph34r:

How sweet of that parent to offer to pay for everyone's meals! :P

So, we are having a parent meeting to explain things. I know with 50 kids, a few parents might not be able to make it. One emailed me back to say they had something that night, could we change the date?

Felt like saying, " sure. for you. We will ask 100 people to change the date.". Or " Sure, we'll change it to May 2". After the season is over.

Ja, I know, "the world revolves around me" type :blink: Perhaps you would like to personally canvas all the parents and find one date when everyone is available :P

So my hub said that he assumes people ,like the one that wants the meeting changed for them, don't think before they email. He said he would rather believe that then that they thought it out and decided everyone should accomadate them.

So that makes these people " thoughtless"? Dumb? They get a GFT on the head to knock some sense into them!

Thoughtless.

Or they've never had to organize a group of people and have no idea what's involved.

Can you schedule the meetings a month out and tell everyone now so they can set their own schedules?

It won't matter. I know some people have bought tickets months ago to something, or 1 school has a band concert, etc. Its OK. I just couldn't believe they would think we would change the date for one family.

Nothing works for everyone, I guess.

Hello my dear psillies. - I've missed you all so much

I'm back from my nightmarish couple of weeks. It turned out my main problem was bad psychotropic drug interactions that I've been taking for years and they finally built up too high for my body weight. Now here's the scary and psilly part of it. I was trying to get in to see my psychiatrist earlier than my next appointment but he's having surgery and has no covering doctor and will only see suicidal patients. I don't know how to safely get off the worst of the drugs (depakote). Luckily Superman worked in the pharmaceutical field for 27 years and looked it up and the side affects. I'm slowly weaning myself off of the depakote and will be switching doctors. Right now I'm falling again (the depakote). I feel I have so much to be grateful for. My dear friends and the support they give me and my sweet Superman. After all the worry and and stress I put him under he bought me a Kindle Fire so I can read again. My eyesight is still hazy and now I can make the font size as large as I need to. I feel I'm on the road to recovery but still need to take it slow.

I'm still tiring easily so will end with an update on Tony. He has two internships this summer. One with one of his psychology professors and the other ...drumroll..... with the Public Defender's Office. I am SO proud of him!!! All right, time to eat lunch. My weight is still really low.

Lots of love wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Perhaps we should be careful when we complain about restaurant food and send it back to the kitchen???

A good chef must be passionate about his food!

Maybe Chuck Norris can set him straight! Now that would be a good food fight!

Argh I'm such a fb newb. Somehow after a hopefuUlly humoUrous paragraph on kitties' cereal, I hit Enter to post & it disappears! No magic triangle of course.

And this was AFTER it kept posting fromi though my hitting Enter when I wanted newline.

No, you're right, Ptaoughmm....there is NO magic triangle o'er in that other place......but hey, you can LIKE something!

And poke people.......

Actually, I have never poked anyone. Ever. The odd time I wish we could slap someone. <_<

And I KNOW, I simply HATE that hit-enter-and-your-post-is-public..... . .. ..I often do this. If you want to simply skip to a new line, hit "enter" and "shift" at the same time......:)

Read this as: "When you want to skip to a new line, you hit "enter" and say "sh!t" at the same time."

.....it didn't work for me :unsure: :unsure:

I only do FB on my computer or iPad. I can't see anything that dinky on my phone! :blink:

      @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.

      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.
