Richard, did you locate your mojo yet???? :blink::blink:

I have moved on. I miss my mojo, but there are support groups for that too :P

You may need this before Christmas. It may already be too late! :o

I hate to ruin the surprise, but I found Open Original Shared Link for you Bev. I know how hard you took it when you found yours amongst mom's cleaning rags. :( How brave of you to continue wearing it even after it was so abused. I think you'll really like this one. It's only slightly worn (most of the stains came out :) ) and you can hardly smell the previous owner :) . Sorry I couldn't find the Gene Simmons mask you really wanted. Maybe next year. ;)

I didn't even see that part. I should scan in VERY BAD photos of my eigth grade self singing into a hairbrush as if I were Bon Scott!

Richard- You are so generous, giving everyone presents all ready. Now I have to see what everyone else is getting. I'm sorry Adrian scared you. maybe we can photoshop her face out and put in Paris Hilton's :P

Love love love carla's sauna wear! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I have found a gift we can all use right now. OurOpen Original Shared Link

have been kidnapped! But here they are.........

You still have to wait until Christmas to open them. The next thing that arrives via UPS, that is my gift to you. Yeah, I sent it, uh huh, that's it, um I can't exactly remember what it was, but i sent it and it will be in a box. With tape. And a label. And a guy in a brown suit will deliver it. :huh:

I'm sorry Adrian scared you. maybe we can photoshop her face out and put in Paris Hilton's :P

And how would THAT :blink: be any better?

And how do you drag your tree out of the cupboard? How do you get a tree to grown in a cupboard? :P

CarlaB Enthusiast

My tree grew in the basement. :P Has lights and everything!! :lol: Morgan insisted on decorating last weekend when she was home, I was too tired to get off the couch, so she directed it all and the house is transformed!

got home from having to BEHAVE all day :angry: (this job kind of, uh, kills my SOUL at different times during the day - oh, those would be the times when my STepford/Sphincter-woman BOSS is standing out there near me :blink: ) and walked back here, ready for bed (gray's anatomy tonight, you know) and there was all this crazy MAYHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Mojo catcher.....THAT"S what we need!!!!!

hey, how do you do that thing where you post the link and write THIS and there is the link? Richard? PLEEEEEEZ explain it one more time........................ :ph34r: Dingo brain can't remember.

Hi Nikki!! Trees growing in cupboards and smart knickers (no size large though).....fabulous!

Hi Julie! did that UPS guy come and get the snow out for you? :P Er....shovel the snow? I guess that's what you call it?

Hi Carla! We will send Donna to look for your mojo also when she's on her cruise. :)

Must sign off now. Thanks for the goofiness. :)

It's a quaint English tradition handed down from generation to generation ;)

Must warn you Bev, I don't think they can grow trees in cupboards in Wales.

Morgan insisted on decorating last weekend when she was home,

I want a Morgan!!!!

I just like the way Nikki said cupboard! It's so cutely British :D

What?!!! You don't have cupboards??!! :o .....oh yeah, you have CLOSETS!!

Maybe there are mojos hiding in your closets !! :ph34r:

hey, how do you do that thing where you post the link and write THIS and there is the link? Richard? PLEEEEEEZ explain it one more time........................ :ph34r: Dingo brain can't remember.

I shall try to explain how I do it....

First write your post

Go to site you want to link to.

Right click on the address bar, left click 'copy'

Highlight the word you're linking to site by pressing left click and drag mouse over chosen word.

Click world with paper clip icon

A box will appear top left corner.

Right click in the new box address bar,left click paste -click ok.

VOILA !!

Poor Susie, I think I've made it even harder to understand :blink:

And I am the trashy, slovenly neighbor, who doesn't mow her lawn often enough....... :o:lol: I expect I'll see a mattress and an old car in my back yard any day now...... :D

How about a couple of old tyres to add to the look!! :D

Hi Nikki!! Trees growing in cupboards and smart knickers (no size large though).....fabulous!

'Tis a magical place England ;)

:lol::lol::lol:

Hey, where's Richard today???

Surely he's not actually doing work whilst at work!!! :o:o

Or you can type till you want to write THIS or THAT. Then you copy the link, Control C, cliick on the little globe with the paper clip on this form (next to the big capital A) and a box will come up. Ppate the link in with Control V, then it will ask your to name the present (THIS THAT MOJO) and you type it in and click OK and voila- there it is!

Nikki- I think everyone was still sleeping wen you posted. You are 9 hours ahead of Susie and 6 hours ahead of us East Coasters. OK- too many sheep and no cupboards that grow Christmas trees in wales. Forget it! :P

what they said. I'm not giving out anymore instructions until you succeed with the stuffing (or at least the beans :P )

Richard......there are a couple of neighbors here in Stepford who actually HAVE that fake grass. :huh: And I am the trashy, slovenly neighbor, who doesn't mow her lawn often enough....... :o:lol: I expect I'll see a mattress and an old car in my back yard any day now...... :D

...and a fridge or some other major appliance. You will also need to chain up the dingos and get some free-range chickens or rabbits...

Hi Nikki!! Trees growing in cupboards and smart knickers (no size large though).....fabulous!

Large knickers = baaaaaaaad :blink::o:ph34r:

Hi Julie! did that UPS guy come and get the snow out for you? :P Er....shovel the snow? I guess that's what you call it?

Please don't tell me it doesn't snow where you are <_<

they only come "get" the snow if it's in a really big box and you've already shoveled it :P

I may need to re-think your gift if you don't get snowed on. Out here they call it a Nor'easter...you Californians probably call it something else (probably sounds more trendy, like when Seattlites order a coffee) but its a bunch of snow and wind. Not quite a blizzard if you'r lucky :)

The dingos would love it.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Nikki, we have cupboards, too, but they're either pieces of furniture or built-in cabinets . The ones that are built into the house with a door are the closets.

How am I going to manage to stay awake all day???? <_<

TriticusToxicum Explorer
Hey, where's Richard today???

Surely he's not actually doing work whilst at work!!! :o:o

Richard doesn't get to "work' until 8ish :)

He is wide awake by 5AM, but has to rally the troops and get the kids off to school/daycare.

He was probably searching his cupboard for his knickers when you were looking for him! :P

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Please don't tell me it doesn't snow where you are

:ph34r: It doesn't snow where I is. :P well, that's not entirely true. It snows as close as 45 minutes away from us, in the Sierra Nevada, when you get to about 6,000 feet elevation. You can look up, and SEE the most exquisite Snowy Range from here, on clear days.......and what can brown do for you? They come and GET the snow and take it up there in big boxes. :)

Annie has never seen snow, but Stinker used to be quite the snow sprite, when mommy was in shape enough ( back when mommy was a badass) adn we used to go X-country skiing. Remember now, mommy is a slovenly, slattern wench with appliances and tires (tyres, Nikki :lol: ) all over the yard. And "free range" chickens (those are the kind you buy at Whole Foods, not the ones running around my yard). :lol:

Hmmmm.....we don't have fancy words for storms here, like "Nor'easter." It's actually just called a WINTER STORM. And that only means rain and wind. Or, TULE (pronounced too-ley) fog.....particularly heinous. That's our winter. Lots of fog. :huh: for months.

I wouldn't worry about the lawn until you see this sort of thing...

...a great addition to any garden (I'm not to proud to admit that my grandmother once had a display very similar to this :ph34r: )

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
