I just have migraines every so often SINCE I got preggers with LUCAS years ago...

Ok, first, I just sold all my baby stuff, like the double stroller, and now a bunch of friends mistakenly think I'm pregnant.... This is shaping up to be scary. :ph34r:

Susie is pretty sure she is NEVER having a date again. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: (way too picky in my old age + paucity of men = Susie Dying Alone)

Susie, seeing how women, in general, outlive their husbands, we're all pretty much dying alone . . . that's why I have made arrangements to be committed to live in the same mental old age facility as my best friend. That way we can keep each other company and complain to each other about how our children never call and that the food taste like crap.

Ok...so here is a somewhat humilating moment of my day.

Let me start with the positive, the other day John and I went to Kohl

Heinous slobishness! :angry:

:lol: ..this makes me chuckle from Patti..........but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

For me, hillbilly heroin would be biscuits and gravy-- otherwise known in my house as "Heart Attack on a Plate." Sooooo good, and utterly verboten these days!

Biscuits??? :huh: (which are sweet here) with gravy...........EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

That's just WRONG!!!!!!!

Cardiac country around here is brought on by the famous Quebeqois Poutine. French fries with thick gravy, then mounds of melted mozzerella topping it off. Ate many a plateful while pregnant, then felt just sick....

Again, WRONG!!!! ....chips with gravy??????.....no No NO!!!...they will go soggy :angry:

Around here you can get a salad with french fries and gravy on top.....talk about fattening!

...limp soggy lettuce with gravy :huh:

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

OMIGOD Sarah's PREGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats darlin'!!!! :D:lol:

Had me going there for a tic Ptaum,..........bloody hell!!..had Sarah in a COLD SWEAT!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

So I just had to run down to the hospital pharmacy to exchange drugs.

They do that there?? Can I bring in whatever I want and exchange it for something better?? I'm sure I've got some leftover stuff in the drawer and I can thing of much better drugs to have lying around than old antibiotics.

No Gluten? or No Reaction? . . . There's a difference, you know.

:o

oh dear gawd.......but........if it's a SMALL amount of gluten - I would have a reaction.....(unlike the time I ate half a pizza :ph34r: - just got depressed for two weeks)

Oh . . . I think those are elephant ears, here. . . . does it start out deep fried?

:lol: probably not.....a distinctly southern US tradition

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Lemme know where it is - I'll join you and get my other old lady friends

So I just had to run down to the hospital pharmacy to exchange drugs. So I am walking by the parking office and a woman whom I am friendly but do not see on a daily basis yells out to me, come back here. So I walk back. She says to me, wow, are you

Oh and the gravy is MILK gravy... with sausage in it. Yummy. :P

Well, I'm off to go pick up the youngins I DO have from school. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: absolutely brilliant idea.........let's round up all of our unwanted drugs, Jess can go as emissary and fill our requests.....

Nicola - - biscuits here are the most YUMMY YUMMY EVIL flaky baked flour-y....rolls? how do we explain a biscuit? 'tis a sticky, yeasty dough rolled out flat, cut into circle shapes and then baked - hence puffing up to many times their volume........absolutely DIVINE w/ butter and jam, butter and honey..........mygawd.........I actually think that is what I miss MOST OF ALL.......... :( People slather gravy on them - very southern - that is slightly vomitous to me but certainly would eat it, without complaining.........

I think biscuits in England are what we call cookies?

jerseyangel Proficient
but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

I know!!

No matter what, I always clean up afer myself--at least leave the place as clean as you found it :huh:

Disgusting :angry:

Yes, I think so...that would explain Nikki's distain for the idea of covering them with gravy :D

tom Contributor
:o BEV! Well I don't know about YOU, but *I* am NOT obsessed w/ dog nuts.....I mean, Annie doesn't even have any for Peter's sake.........

:lol: that's how I read it too . .. ..even took a moment to scan memory for "pets+testicle" and only came up w/ Nikki's cat (is that right?) THEN came the synonymical connection to aficionado :lol:

- - and I must say, I was partaking in a GIANT basket of fries from DEDICATED fryer at Nepenthe last Sunday :):rolleyes:

Ahhhhhhh Nepenthe <contented sigh> :)

I must head south soon .. . . .. .

TOM - - NO GLUTEN in the rice bowls at El Pollo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

1) Phew!!!!!! :face-of-relief-guy:

2) Why didn't I KNOW this?

3) I can have something new!!!?? :unsure:

4) Ahhh dang, I'm sure it has ingred I won't eat (yet) :(

I had El Pollo Loco monday. Yum! :rolleyes:

But only because I'd forgotten to defrost anything. It's still a thrill every time I get to eat w/out doing the cooking. Which reminds me :D , dinner at Shelly's tonight. Her 8y.o. got an elec guit from santa so we're gonna jam!!!!

And speaking of music, today feels a LOT like a sax day!!!!! (Boehv?? That's an A, not an E! :lol: )

Here's a bit of silly - ran into an old notebook where I'd made a note of something a friend's 4 or 5 y.o. (at the time) said years ago.

For whatever reason, I'd said something in Pig Latin and she said "huh?". So I told her it was Pig Latin.

She says "I don't care how they talk in Pigland" :lol: I was rofl!!

Last year I walked into the womans bathroom at work and someone left a log on the floor next to the toliet.

:lol: ..this makes me chuckle from Patti..........but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

Obviously a hoverer with poor aim . . . or perhaps in mid-hover, the purse she was balancing on her head started to slide. In an effort to keep her purse from hitting the floor, she lost sight of her target . . . so to speak.

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

I'm totally with Nikki on this one.

Had me going there for a tic Ptaum,..........bloody hell!!..had Sarah in a COLD SWEAT!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

Hey Colleen!!! Way to stick it to the man! :lol:

Now, I bought one in the summer - took one look at myself in the mirror and thought NO WAY!!!!!!! - off it came - it didn't look like THAT on the model :angry: ........but I am annoyed that all these smocky tops weren't in vogue when I was [i/] pregnant :lol:

Gawd--so true.....when I was pregnant (back in the dark ages) there were no cute maternity clothes. All frightful billow-y blouses with puffy sleeves and bows at the neck <_< I did a lot of maternity jeans and Mark's shirts :lol:

I also bought one of those tops last summer--I think it's because I'm kinda short, but it did resemble a maternity top...of course at my age I'm sure no one was fooled :lol:

During my first pregnancy, I wore several men's shirts instead of maternity shirts. One of the guys I worked with complimented me on one in particular. I told him it was a men's shirt to which he stood up and proclaimed "I call dibs on Janet's shirt when she's done being pregnant!"

tom Contributor
HOLY COW!!!! I totally missed that hint . . . and TOM, of all people firgured it out!!! (no offense, Tom, just figured it would be a gal). Congratulations, Sarah!!!!

ROFL I was just makin' s*** up to tease her a tic (Nikki? This means a bit?? :unsure: ) but now can't lose this sh**-eating grin (what a horrible term!! Especially considering Bev's hinted-at grossout a few pages back) from seeing all the posts it prompted!!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac? 
    • Pasballard
      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.
    • growlinhard1
      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.
