I have to call my old college at 11. John and I might take a job as resident advisors. Where I went to school, they hire adults who are in the work force to be resident advisors, there dorms are townhouses and apartments on campus. So now that we are married they are also hiring and we might be moving there (just across the river) They don't pay you, you live on campus, free of charge and only need to pay for cable and phone. It would help us out in saving up for a down payment on a house of our own in the future.

Hey, Guys!

The day after...but the party continues, as it is my DS's birthday. So, gotta haul up the festive feeling for another day. Exhausted emoticon here.

Ate profusely yesterday. It sounds like that syndrome which compels one to consume a chocolate each time one passes by the tray is fairly common. The worst part was, I was rather hypoglycemic throughout the day (bizzare, as I did not exercise and sugar was plentiful), so I had a terrific reason to keep pounding back the calories.

So, bro is here tonight, Susie, with new girlfriend...keep you posted, as I will be shamelessly scrutinizing her. Sorry about your unfortunate (but yes, amusing to visualize) accident. According to DH, you may be able to sue. People attempt these things frequently, and he must get involved as the insurance guy. Are you suffering severe mental anguish? Did it completely ruin your Christmas? I think you should explore the option to get some recompense from Stepford Sally, that heinous woman... :lol:

Sleeps through Christmas is exhaustipated too- too much turkey, chocolate anything that wasn't nailed down and, more importantly, from staying up all night reading DON'T HASSLE THE HOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK- so I didn't REALLY read it yet, just selected excerpts and let me tell you- the writing is pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I can't stop laughing. I was just reading about him being in a scene with Tom Jones (you know- What's New Pussycat? Hooked on a Feeling?). SCARRRRRRYYYYYY.

Just read a review of it on amazon: "Seriously, I simply cannot conceive of anyone actually purchasing or reading this book. No one's life could possibly be that empty. "

Obviously he doesn't know how badly my brain has degenerated!!!!!!!!!

Well, Bev, at least you found a book your Lyme brain can handle! I couldn't read paragraphs for quite a while (still have a little bit of a problem with them), so books have been out of my life for a couple years. <_<

Nikki, hope the hangover is over soon!

Susie, but if you do sue, be sure to also ask for lost wages as I don't think they'll hire you to care for their dog any longer.

Susie- We did our honeymoon in the Finger Lakes, it was so nice up there. We didn't get to any wineries though since we were short on time.

My wine drinking at dinner was more than usual. I was ok sitting, but then I had to go upstairs to go to the bathroom. I was wearing this nice plaid skirt and sweater and my Mary Janes with the clunky heels...I tripped over their bathroom scale and almost landed face first into the toliet!

That wine was very much like candy for me....Thankfully MIL was drinking just as much...

I am braving the shops tomorrow - exchanging gifts and NEED new slippers ...I must be mad :huh: ...it will be quite EEEeevil!!!!!!!!!

Nikki, I am doing exactly the same thing tomorrow...going out for new slippers, which I informed everyone I needed but did NOT receive...are the shops open on Boxing Day over there? They are here, but I shan't venture out. The radio speaks about fistfights breaking out due to squabbling over much-coveted parking spots (Walmart staff had to call authorities, as there were several brawls happening...)

Is this what we've become?! :huh:

Susie, but if you do sue, be sure to also ask for lost wages as I don't think they'll hire you to care for their dog any longer.

...One hopes... :rolleyes:

Mygawd, you yanks don't have the 26th off as a stat holiday?? Egregious!!

Nicola I'm coming to England next year.......budge around and make room for me and the dingos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie!! Get your prepositions correct...it's "budge up"! :lol: Budging around sounds like something for which I'd be called upon to construct a flowchart...

Actually, it sounds vaguely naughty...

:lol::lol:

I am fine today, the injury was really not that serious - just rather startling - pulled a few more thorns (seriously) out of my running pants and the fleece vest - - also a few straggling hoglets (with knickers)............

All of those things are claimable...S.S. (Stepford Sally) should bloody well be paying for several new running pants and fleece pieces, what with yours all blood-soaked, torn, mangled...she should be amending your hair situation as only a paid visit to the best hairdresser in town can do, and don't get me STARTED on the spa treatments for your whiplash and torn (fabricate fancy-sounding ligaments name here)...

Then I sat up in the bathroom thinking....did they hear that? LOL! I am usually so behaved when out in public...not this day though.

Wow...Usually we celiacs are worried that others are hearing....other things...from our respective bathroom stalls. I almost welcome another embarrassing sound!... :lol:

Another reason why I ventured upstairs to their 2nd story bathroom...more private :) the other bathroom they have is a 1/2 bath but sits right off the kitchen where everyone was gathering. I don't like feeling like I have an audience while I piddle!

You are good Emily - top marks!! :D Tis indeed 'Budge up and never around :lol:

I don't think to budge around is naughty??.....but you may have to after I finished eating (my derriere is expanding due to excessively fine foods!! :lol: )..budge around Nikki.

I can only fit 1 dingo beside me now. (the girls will have to take turns)

Am planning on a diet and gym regime of epic proportions come January!! ;)

Yes, the sales started today (Boxing Day) but I couldn't stomach it ....was feeling too fragile :rolleyes:

Hopefully tomorrow will be less manic :blink: ...I have a set plan of almost military precision - get in - exchange - get OUT!!!....no dawdling, mooching, or LOOKING at the HALF PRICE goods that we bought for the full amount :lol:

...wish me luck....

mommy is also......alas I haven't been into anyone else's dog food....that I know of......

GOOD GAWD!!!!!! Am in my usual post-holiday ennui. BAH!!!!!!! Next year I'm going some place quite fun, where we actually hear a THANK YOU when a gift is opened...... :angry:

BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!! Susie is cranky.......oh adn look at this, making me even crankier:

I am supposed to go out tonight w/ a dear friend of mine and another girl whom we went to high school with.....said girl is a FAMOUS potter/ceramicist.......dear gawd.......very successful career - with things in Sundance catalog and other important places........ :huh: intimidating (she's a goof, though, quite fun and mad)

BAH!!!!!!!! Just want to stay home and be cranky.........FREEZING COLD HERE wtih HUGE winds!!!!!!!! :o

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
