Will check in later--the closet organizing lady will be here any minute.

GAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!....PATTI!!!!!!

(I just go to Ikea for inspiration)

I WANT ONE !!!! :lol::lol::lol: ..........(your hubby has more clothes than you??? :unsure: )

With those of us here who are TARTS

I don't know what you mean ;)

PS Had SERIOUS Food Gasm at Risoterria last week. Was almost asked to leave- kind of like that scene in When Harry Met sally.

It went something like...

''Would you mind leaving Miss - there are children in here...and frankly everyone is disturbed by your behaviour''

:lol::lol::lol:

I think I should bring the closet lady a sandwich or something--what the heck is she still doing in there? :o

A few years ago I got California Closets to come do my dad's bedroom closet. I went over to his house the day the consultant was coming and the lady was in there measuring and planning for almost 2 hours! It was supper time and we didn't know what to do about her. So my dad ending up making supper for her and the three of us ate spaghetti (pre-Celiac days!) and drank wine on my dad's closet floor. It was pretty funny. She took her job very seriously!

My dad's closet looked about twice as big after they performed their closet magic. I'm very jealous it and I wish my closet looked like that. I'm sure you'll be in awe of the finished product. I think closet organizer would be a fun job to have.

She's probably found some fabulous 'retro' jacket of your hubby's (aka -'packrat') and is wondering if she could sneak it out to sell on Ebay....... :lol:

Does she charge by the hour, or by the job? I'm thinkin' we could use her in our parade organization...Y'know, placing all the paraphrenalia within the floats, organizing and loading the guns with appropriate treats in the proper order...the most economical use of space can haunt parade organizers. You should ask her if she's ever tackled a job like this, Patti. She may jump at it... :lol::lol:

Oh gawwwd... I think my chronic sinus infections back... ugh, head may explode at any moment...

A few minutes ago, I clicked View New Posts (as I do an embarassingly large number of times per day) and suddenly the whole format of the board changed, and it was all green. I clicked it again, and back to normal.

I think Scott needs to give us some warning if he's gonna work on how the board looks, because that just totally messed with my poor feeble brain.

It came back!!!!!!!!!

Now it's gone again.

Bev--did you say "tartaholic" or "fartaholic"? :P Either one could apply, if you know what I mean....

First of all, you are so sweet...I can just see you bringing the closet lady a sandwich. :wub:

Your timing is EXCELLENT Patti as I have a birthday card poem I've been meaning to post for awhile from my BIL. Unfortunately, I suspect our Hugh is a TARTAHOLIC with little tolerance for the fartaholics :P but you never know.....maybe he's into that stuff :o:P

Anyhoo...here's the poem:

All About Farts

A fart can be short,

or a fart can be long,

Some farts have been known

to sound just like a song...

A fart can create

a most curious medley,

A fart can be harmless

or silent, but deadly.

A fart might not smell

while others are vile

A fart may pass quickly

or linger awhile.

A fart can occur

in a number of places,

and leave everyone

with strange looks on their faces...

From wide-open prairie,

to small elevators

But not all farts are bad,

that is simply not true-

We musn't forget...

Dear sweet old farts like YOU!

First real good chilly day here!!

I'm freezing my arse off . . . I just can't seem to warm up!

JoDog (what I call my dog) is annoying with constant whining - oh wait, that's me.

JoDog is annoying with pacing back and forth between the window and door on the constant look out for squirrels.

I need to go to the grocery and to Target but can't get my rear in gear!!

And this has been my day!!

Oh Richard!!! I've been wondering where you've been. You pop in briefly to read but not to post. I thought people at work must have noticed you mumbling and giggling at your computer and you had to cut back in order to avoid a talk with Human Resources.

We are quite familiar with teh pacing and staring here. In fact, in Stinker's second book (On the Road with Stinker), the "about the author" page does state, explaining her life and hobbies in the three years it took for her long-awaited followup book....... "in addition, she likes to pace and stare."

Wow!! Stinker is an author!! Might she personally autograph one of her books for me? THAT'S what you should be selling on ebay . . . autographed copies of her book! I am convinced that to get rich quick, write a book and then have Oprah mention it on her show! Not sure how you get her to do that, but everybody buys whatever she tells them to.

Yes, our Stinker IS an author. When she was about 6, I was presented, by her nanny and best friend, Lauren, with her first book, the smash Tika's Day Out. [i literally laughed so hard that I cried whilst reading it - and also cried because it was the best give I'd ever received......and we HAVE actually been urged to publish it...........it's the cutest thing EVER]

Yes, we MUST get Stinker on Oprah and toute suite!!!!!!! she's getting quite old and senile.....no telling WHAT she'll say on the air.......

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
