Yes, its the Strawberry that drops because that area in H-burg is called Strawberry Square :)

Um.......I thought you were talking about a cocktail called Strawberry Drops. :lol: are you saying that a giant strawberry comes down, like Dick Clark's descending crystal orb? :blink:

Just think of the mess . . . unless . . . perhaps . . . it falls on some shortcake, or ice cream, or whip cream . . . OK, maybe we should look into this.

Wasn't there a doll affiliated with the Care Bears named Strawberry Shortcake? Sounds like a job for the Care Bears, if you ask me..... :lol:

:P both........

OMG - I am trying a new trick with my old Stinker. See, all she does now, every single day of her life, is stay in bed the ENTIRE day, comes out only once or twice to eat and pee..... my poor baby. :( Then........she wants to go outside at night.......and then.......she barks every 90 seconds to five minutes.....so JUST when you're drifting off to sleep - a big bark.

So mommy has decided we're not going to play this reindeer game any more......Stinker has been SHUT OUT of her bedroom......I'm making her stay out here with us all day and keeping her awake. :lol: She keeps asking to go into her bed but I am NOT letting her.

Ah, the joys of mothering a psychotic, panic-stricken dingo. :blink::lol:

Question for Peter . . . Do bald men wash there head with soap or shampoo?

I'll take this one, St. Peter, as I have one of these in my household. He has recently switched to soap, as he now has very little left on top and he's only washin' skin, now. Oh, to be young again....

He does sport a beard, however...I wonder if he uses shampoo on it? Hmm. Peter, does he?

Sarah! Start posting! We've missed you!

Indeed, it took quite some time to catch up! Thank you all for noticing I was gone!!! :wub: Of course there's been body fluids involved- there always is at my house. :rolleyes: Christmas glutenings for everyone- <_< - but never so bad as to ruin Christmas. I have to say, catching up on all your posts made me want it to be Christmas all over again! *sigh*

Let's see if I can remember everything I wanted to comment on (not a chance.)

Bhutto assassination- too sad and discouraging. :(

Hitting a deer- scary!

Wooster-sauce- good stuff!

Stuffed shells- YUM, any left over?

Inebriated sillies all around- :lol:

Turkey gravy- I found 365 gluten-free turkey gravy at Whole Foods!!! I paid ridiculous amounts of $$ for 4 jars, and it did NOT turn into hot gravy jello upon re-heating.

umm....

Susie falling through a hedge forwards- Heinous! What was that dog chasing... reindeer?

Well.... one more bite of chocolate, and I just might barf. Time for Sarah to go on a serious after-holidays-DIET!!! It's been raining for days, but is supposed to clear up tomorrow. I think I'll work on the gardens. Also must get one of my tractor-owning neighbors to come over and till up the big garden.

It's almost time to get ready for early spring planting! Onions, carrots, salad greens can all go in in 2 months. And it takes me FOREVER to get everything ready by myself, as my hubby has no interest in gardening until it's time to eat. :lol:

Well, I'm off. Happy New Year's Eve Eve! lol

OMG the gravy success! what a coup! So....must look into this 365 gravy.......

and you are NOT kidding on teh diet!!!!!! :o I found these extreeeeeeeeeeeemely evil french salt caramels at Trader JOe's. Went through three things of them in less than two weeks. ANd then there was all the other candy, and the homemade marshmallows. :ph34r: so, I think I am only going to have sugar now in my coffee and oatmeal, and maybe maple syrup on the pancakes once or twice a week. Other than that - NO SUGAR ALLOWED. I am a candy addict.....and it makes me quite tired when I consume lots o' sugar. BAH!!!!!!!!!

Between the candy, the lunar (read: menstrual :ph34r: ) cycle night sweats, and a senile, barking dingo, I am exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mellow:

OMG Emily - yes, what does your husbnad use to wash his beard? Um, BTW, have you checked to see if there are any wee hoglets nestled therein? :blink::lol:

okay....must head out now....... procuring New Year's eve snacks and movies.......

mygawd, I have REALLY got to get a life........ :huh:

Well....There WERE. I've been having trouble figuring how to say this to everyone...but, yes, there were messy hedgehogs in DH beard. But, um...hedgehog babies seem to be something of a delicacy in the diet of...yetis. So, he's eaten quite well. Thank gawd standard poodles are not to his liking, or cats. :o

Guess we've got him for New Years Eve, then he could go up north with MIL, unless anyone would like him for a stay. Susie, he hasn't been with you, yet. Or Tom--but I think I remember an allergy, there...

Sarah!! He could help with the pre-gardening chores!

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...

OMG- I was trying to catch up but I saw this and had to stop because I couldn't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see it now in slow motion......imagine if you HAD landed face first in the toilet? And I like your MIL very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kurt and I ran away for a few days and you know what? He stole my Hasslehoff book and didn't give it back! I think he has a secret crush :P OMG-the writing in it, even to my Lymied brain , is PAINFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of candy, I have a weakness for toffee around the holidays, there's this little locally owned candy shop that makes the best to die for buttery little squares of toffee goodness dipped in fine chocolate and nuts.....I ate many between Thanksgiving and Christmas :ph34r:

And OMG, did you notice Crate and Barrell, or was it Williams Sonoma...can't rember, had MARSHMALLOWS wrapped in CARAMEL??? Genius!! I stayed far away from these however.

I also LOVE Sound of music, such a great movie

Well, me and old musicals...can't live without 'em. But I have to admit, SOM is my least favorite. I've tried and tried over the years...sigh. Really good, historically gripping story, but the music...bah. Love Julie's yodelling, however, and the marionnette scene is terrific... :D

OK, if we're voting . . . I like SOM . . . favorite song is Edelweiss.

But NOW we're talking candy . . . absolutely all time favorite is toffee. If it is around, I can not stay away from it.

Seems a little early for gardening. Does that mean that you've already got you Christmas stuff down, Sarah? And has anybody heard if the special adhesive garland (ie, duct tape) was all that Alex needed to finish off her tree?

      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 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

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      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!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?
