oh dear, Sarah.......

let me clarify.

I would ONLY remember if you wore something really ghastly and wore it again, or REALLY outstanding (like a Chanel suit), and wore it again.

If you're anywhere in between those two, I would NOT remember, honest truth.

so sorry to have caused you such duress!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now speaking of Coco Chanel, let's remember her theory, which was something like.....if a woman walks into a room with a very busy, showy, or crazily-patterned outfit, people will say "look at that dress..." but if she walks in, carrying herself with great posture and poise in something quite simple and understated, highlighting the figger or whatever, they will say "look at that WOMAN."

Go with teh basic black, I PROMISE you no one will remember.

:)

Ooooookaaaaayyy..... Basic black, I can do... and really, was Coco ever wrong?

You wore a lab coat.

You were also trying to tell everyone that you were wearing Ugg's new fur boots but we all know you were going barefoot . . .

oh yeah...

at least my feet are finally warm

The lab coat reference reminded me that for my next audition for the musical theater I'm going to sing "I feel pretty" while putting on my very sensible shoes, lab coat, safety goggles, giant cryogloves, and putting my hair into the cabbage patch topknot.

Maybe I can start coloring my feet to improve my appearance

I am SOOO going out for a drink with you!!!! :lol::lol:

:lol: that's the spirit!!

(Wish I'd said that :angry: )

Hey! They can be female...Few people make more noise when watching hockey or football than I. Quite embarrassing, actually....even for me!

Yay!! Love this!!

How long is the lease? When does his daughter come back?

1 year lease. Lauryn WILL be here for at least a few days after Christmas!

And it's not really all that frequent w/ John. He's usually out a nearby bar while LOUD. And I think I can get him to quiet down in the future.

AND he's out-of-town on biz 4days/wk, incl now, which had a LOT to do w/ me thinking I could deal w/ a roomie.

I'd best just stay out of the wardrobe discussion.

'Cept to say gotta love Coco's take on it.

OMG I thought of somethign else......we at times can actually refer to all sodas as COKE out here. So...someone will say - "do you want a Coke" when they really mean - any kind of SODA POP :lol:

YES! I meant to throw in the all-encompassing "wanna coke?" myself!

Maybe that started for me when i went to Tucson for college. Hmmm :huh:

OMG I once scored a major fashion coup, over 15 years ago........it was a black suit, with tuxedo lapels with just a hint of satin on them........ . ..

......friends called it my Magic Suit ......... :rolleyes: and it really did have power.......

Hehehehehe Magic Suit :)

An old girlfriend, one I probably should've married :( , had some sort of tuxedo-ey yet very feminine, suit that she loved to wear.

One of my best friends of all time, and while we had a great talk and a ton of laughs on the phone recently, her husband is so against us keeping in touch, pffft it's done. :(

Hooray for Janet!!! A sudden spike of silliness amongst a fashion/wardrobe discussion!!

Thank YOU m'dear!! :lol:

I wish I had a magic suit...To make my legs look four feet long, my bum to look smaller...you know...the stuff magic's made of... :rolleyes:

Last year to my Christmas party I wore this incredible Alfred Sung dress that I paid--ready?--twelve dollars for. Value Village. Conversation stopped when I walked into the dining room (Ha! This was, unfortunately, because the side and back of my dress was tucked up in my underwear). Indeed, my classiest of entrances... :o:lol:

Nope, one day as my coworker and I were walking up the sidewalk back to the hospital, a very strong gust of wind came and blew mu skirt right up to my chest. Of course, people were all over and I was facing the hospital so everyone saw me....

Well, my fingers are about to fall off. I wrote a manuscript on another thread and hit the post butten and . . . poof . . . it was gone. Had to rewrite it again. That's not funny, all my silly leaked out whilst typing.

To make matters worse, I'm in the middle of our annual Christmas letter. I pride myself on our family letter. There is no mention of any resume-type info or international trips or how our children are learning three languages simultaneously. I have people tell me that they actually look forward to it. There's so much pressure to be wittier every year. And I think I've used up all my wit on this board. The clock is tickin' and that letter is not getting funny!! Although, just so you girls (Susie & Sarah) know, the muffin-shaped projectiles and hot gravy jello have been mentioned under the topic of gluten-free cooking! :lol:

Jess, when you do your "I Feel Pretty" song, please have someone record it so we can all watch on youtube!

I've suddenly had a lifesaving idea for you, Janet...print out the last 250 pages of this thread, delete all posts but yours (or not...then your loved ones will be reading about Tom's drunk roomie, my dad the chameleon, Susie's neighboUrhood zombie...which my family might just LOVE), and send it all off with a big "This has been my life over the past few months.

You know, I still have the Magic Suit, in the back of the closet, gathering dust.....it's too old and tired to wear, even if I had MIRACLE KNICKERS to ameliorate the situation (note repeat usage of Word-A-Day type words to ensure proper integration into Janet's Christmas Epistle) :lol:

Yes, quite necessary to use the words over and over until I, too, can use them in a sentence. I had to go back to dictionary.com and look it up AGAIN (after contemplating if this was one of the real words or not.)

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.
    • Scott Adams
      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
